It's a pity they already tried and failed.
Their chances of impeachment over the management of this pandemic would be a walk in the park.

I’m gonna lol when they re-elect him (not that I think Biden a lot better).
PS. The world descending into a popularity contest where you don’t have to be a specialist or have a great track record is a worrying trend. Reminds me of work where degree requirements are lifted.
Wonder if the we heading into a world war with monetary system shenanigans and trying times in US.

I was wondering if we will be in for another American Civil War. Like when Trump loses the election, but refuses to leave office, citing its all an electoral colleague admission scam from China to get more Mexicans into the country

Lawmakers demand answers on Kushner supply chain influence
Chairs of two key House panels sent a letter to FEMA demanding information in a week on efforts by the president's senior adviser and son-in-law.
Two Democratic House committee leaders are demanding answers from the Trump administration about Jared Kushner's role in directing and redirecting the flow of life-saving medical equipment among private companies, various levels of government and hospitals in need.
The demand came in a letter sent Tuesday, the day the Kushner-backed supply chain task force abandoned its "war room" at the Federal Emergency Management Agency's headquarters following the revelation that a "partner" of the agency who worked in the area had tested positive for coronavirus. The letter was sent by Reps. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., to FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor, giving an April 15 due date to provide files related to the efforts of Kushner, the president's senior adviser and son-in-law.
The White House has routinely ignored requests from Congress for information, and Trump was impeached by the House last year in part for directing aides to block House investigators from obtaining testimony and documents from the administration. He was acquitted by the Senate in February.
NBC News' requests for comment from FEMA, the White House and Kushner's team on the lawmakers' letter went unanswered.

Trump: GOP should fight mail-in voting because it ‘doesn’t work out well for Republicans’

Kayleigh McEnany, who replaces Stephanie Grisham, has embraced birtherism and claimed Democrats were rooting for the pandemic
The White House on Wednesday confirmed the appointment of Kayleigh McEnany as Donald Trump’s fourth press secretary – even as her long history of disturbing public statements came to light.
McEnany, who turns 32 next week, worked for the former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee on his Fox News show and as a pro-Trump commentator on CNN during the 2016 presidential election. She became national spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, then for Trump’s re-election campaign.
A survey of past remarks and tweets suggests she is perfectly qualified for the job of being his master’s voice – and attacking his nemesis, Barack Obama. For instance, she embraced the original sin of Trumpian politics: birtherism. It is the conspiracy theory that Obama, America’s first black president, was not born in the US but rather in Kenya.
On 29 August 2012, McEnany tweeted: “How I Met Your Brother -- Never mind, forgot he’s still in that hut in Kenya. #ObamaTVShows”.
Along with the spurious dig at Obama, who was born in Hawaii, the tweet also traded on stereotypes of Africans living in huts. Highlighting the tweet on Tuesday, Richard Painter, a former White House chief ethics lawyer, wrote: “What is this? A KKK rally in the White House?”
As president, Trump reportedly called African nations “shithole countries” and said of a deadly white supremacist protest in Charlottesville, Virginia: “You also had people that were very fine people on both sides.” But McEnany told the Fox Business Network in May 2018: “The president has come out multiple times saying he denounces all racism. We all denounce racism, that would include the president.”

CDC Hospital Data Point To Racial Disparity In COVID-19 Cases
In a study of the early coronavirus epidemic in the U.S., a third of people who were hospitalized were African American. Top risk factors were high blood pressure and obesity.

CDC Hospital Data Point To Racial Disparity In COVID-19 Cases
About 1 in 3 people who become sick enough to require hospitalization from COVID-19 were African American, according to hospital data from the first month of the U.S. epidemic released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Even though 33% of those hospitalized patients were black, African Americans constitute 13% of the U.S. population. By contrast, the report found that 45% of hospitalizations were among white people, who make up 76% percent of the population. And 8% of hospitalizations were among Hispanics, who make up 18% of the population.

Nearly 300 crew members of the USS Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive for Covid-19
Countries continue to battle the novel coronavirus.
Nearly 300 crew members of the USS Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive for Covid-19
Some 286 sailors aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt docked in Guam have tested positive for Covid-19, a US defense official told CNN.
More than 90% of the crew have now been tested. A total of 2,329 sailors have been moved ashore, 1,700 of whom are in hotels.
But yeah let’s punish the whistleblowers

If only there was a form of identification that people could use to vote. That would aliviate all concerns of fraud.Sheer contempt for democracy. Won't get a peep from the bootlickers, of course.

NOOO!!! Identification is voter suppression.

Trump himself voted by mail. Are you staying accusing him of fraudulent voting?
Also you are well aware that any investigation into fraudulent voting in recent history had turned up nothing. Yet you continue pumping the false narrative in the face of all evidence to the contrary.
Put a copy of ID in the envelope along with the ballot. Problem solved.

Do I need to explain what probability is?
From the article:
Measures like ID.
And to counter the argument that requiring an ID restricts access:
If leftists want their precious medicare for all scheme, it will require everyone to get some form of ID to prevent fraud and medical tourism. This is pretty common everywhere that has government healthcare. Yet curiously it isn't used as an argument that it is being used to suppress access to medical treatment.

That literally makes you a Nazi, and a proponent of voter suppression

There is a bit of a silver lining in that this will be a good sample of a healthy (ish) population getting the commie-cold.Nearly 300 crew members of the USS Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive for Covid-19

Technically democracy is about voting for the most popular person/party, you only find out who the popular person is when the votes are all counted.

That's because they aren't (south)african africans, which according to twitter are immune to the disease.
