I can't even believe what I read and what I see.
Trump administration seeking to block funding for CDC, contact tracing and testing in new relief bill: report
The Trump administration is attempting to block billions of dollars for contact tracing, additional testing and other coronavirus mitigation efforts that would potentially be included in Congress's next coronavirus relief package, officials involved in the negotiations told The Washington Post.
Think about this.
During the worst, most killing international and national pandemic in the last more than 100 years, this Republican Party President Trump actually wants to actually BLOCK FUNDING for the CDC, the Centers for Disease Control on contract tracing and testing in a pending new relief bill.
I'm gobsmacked.
With this excuse for leadership, is it any wonder we, the United States, reputedly the wealthiest nation in the world, has the most cases and deaths, both, of any nation in the world?
Keeping in mind this was, is the knucklehead who took us, the US out of the WHO, the World Heatlh Organization in this same pandemic so it's not a total surprise, especially with all the other absurd, reckless, ignorant, even dangerous things he's done while in office and in this nightmare of a Presidency.
Meanwhile, also just now, today, this.

Meanwhile, here's what's happening locally, in Missouri just now.

But yeah, cut funding to our national medical community. Freaking brilliant.
At least if he really were assisted and placed in this position of the Presidency by Vladimir Putin and Russia, at least that would make sense for why he seems to, time and again, set out to destroy us, destroy us all, destroy our nation, to tear it and Democracy down.
Thanks, Mr. President?
Thanks, Republicans?
