There will be Hell to pay unless Trump and his enablers can sell
"alternative facts" as part of his re-election campaign ---

He has already set the BAR very low by claiming that HIS ACTIONS will have
saved over a million lives --- 1.2 million if "we" do nothing  vs. 200,000
if "we" behave perfectly ---

Some Republicans are blaming the Democrats' "preoccupation with impeachment

They now say that if 100,000 people die in the next two weeks, we'll be 
getting off easy. Between 1965 and 1975, 58,000 GI's died in Vietnam. 
That loss of life due to a ruling class imperialist war created a 
massive loss of confidence in political institutions. Just imagine the

time-span and begin to realize that Trump had a lot to do with the 
government's failure to be adequately prepared. There will be hell to pay.
