The stunning, beautiful scene that had been on the header could not last. I did think it would survive 24 hours, but no. From Hopkins at this moment Trump has killed 140,119.
Yesterday at 7:14 p.m. the reported number of those Killed by Trump was 139,000;
At 4:34 p.m. on July 16 Trump reached 138,000 killed;
-At 10:03 p.m. July 15, Trump had killed 137,000.
-On July 14 at 9:18 p.m. his killing had passed 136,000.
I'm stopping counting. That is five consecutive days of almost 1,000 Deaths per day.
We do not get used to it. Each death makes the fire burn inside each of us a letter hotter, a little faster. Every time we reach another 1,000 it consumes a bigger part of us.
This wildfire has consumed over 140,000 American lives so far and you don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing. Does Trump, his lackeys, his Mengele, know how they are "hated", David Brooks' word yesterday, and he used it twice, do they know of the "hatred" of them in the country? They do not and they will be taken completely by surprise. The winds change so abruptly. When next they turn East the fire hatred will race at lightening speed directly to Washington D.C. The Trump White House is already smoking if they had the sense to smell it. As a nerve center of this illegitimate administration it will go up as tinder and all those inside will be charred beyond recognition before they know the fire is licking at the gates. It is the price they pay for willful ignorance, for cowardice. And if there are "embers" left among the smoking ruins they will catch the hem of Deborah Birx's skirt, the ruffle of her scarf and make of her a human torch too hot to touch for the rest of her professional life, ruined. It is the price to be paid by the scientific enabler of the psychopathic occupant of the Oval Office. Hated and shunned will be Trump and his family; professionally decapitated will be Birx.
