tRump suffers

from crony virus. It will help end his never to be forgotten term in office as leader of the most despicable administration (especialy GOP Senate members) in the history of the United States.

Counting today 153 days. 1 more day will be 22 weeks UPDATE

March 12th I went grocery shopping, was out about 2 hours, got home about 8 am so I count that whole day.

My location is Northern Illinois. I will be 80 in January. Smoked for 55 years - quit 8 1/2 years ago - so far no coughing, no emphysema. Have been blessed with good health - only medication I take on rare occasions is aspirin. Get minimal check-up once a year from the VA, but maybe not this year as I feel good and don't want to go where there may be a bunch of sick people.

I live alone, have no family, no SO. Have hired a couple to grocery shop for me (helps a family instead of a company). They leave grocery's on a table outside my apartment door. I bring them in after they have left. Rinse bottles, cans, plastic containers from foods so I can take trash out about every 10 days to 2 weeks. When I order takeout it is left on table outside and I bring it in after delivery person has left.

Mail boxes are inside. I check mail once a week.

Self defense?

What if a legally armed citizen shoots and kills one of a group of men he sees are armed yelling and rushing at him because he fears for his life? What if he fires shots at the group but misses everyone. They return fire, killing him in the process? Who gets charged and with what? Murder?

In the second scenario if the group of men is identified as government agents is tRump charged with anything as he issued the initial order for the attack from the top of the chain?

AMERICANS!

Especially Republicans. Do not let babies be sacrificed to promote your politics.

Do not let schools open until they are safe from the transmission of the Corona virus.
