'At some point, there will have to be justice. It won’t come from the virus, which is not a moral agent. It will have to come from us.' onesarahjones writes

President Trump before he was hospitalized on Friday. Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images Donald Trump has COVID-19, and I am running out of things to say. Sure, there’s news to report, and possible outcomes to analyze, and the days to come will only provide more noise to interpret. Over the weekend, the cases multiplied: Several Republican senators fell ill. Chris Christie is in the hospital. More cases are likely to come, and the people involved won’t all be famous.

Aping Trump, Republicans pretend to be brave. Give me open bars, or give me death. Now they might get both. But unfortunately the intransigence displayed by Trump and his party creates a problem for everyone else. We are back to where we started before the virus, with a president whose narcissism and selfishness are central to the way he governs. It’s not a surprise that Trump put others, even his own supporters, at risk. His actions this week are what we’ve known of him for years.

So when my fiancé shook me awake at 1 a.m. Friday to tell me that Trump had the virus, I felt at first like I was dreaming. I’d seen footage of Trump, maskless, at the White House and at his rallies — he’d killed Herman Cain! I watched his press conference for Amy Coney Barrett last Saturday. Hardly anyone wore a mask. Nobody kept six feet apart from each other. Barrett even dragged her entire maskless family to the event.

onesarahjones What kind of justice & for whom It’s important to be very clear here. I believe the entire GOP needs to be dissolved - in addition to Trump’s removal. Otherwise it’s the equivalent of removing a malignant tumor without wide margins, hence leaving all the cancer cells behind.

onesarahjones Millions of people got COVID here, over 200,000 died in large part due to trump's willful negligence; I so wish he could be sued into oblivion by each and every one of them (including my family). Hold this SOB accountable....one way or the other

onesarahjones Why are you using a photo of one of the three times he wore a mask.

onesarahjones Virus a bonus

Virus spreads on panel handling Supreme Court nominationTwo GOP members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have tested positive for the coronavirus. Both say they will quarantine for 10 days, ending just before Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett are to begin Oct. 12. 14 days quarantine period is to make sure you're not positive (ie not having the virus). Now if they already have the virus, they must be out indefinitely until tested negative 3 times again. GOPs again do whatever they want to do here. Aww perfect timing for these drunk drivers to get back in their cars and drive drunk again. Glad they are in charge of our future livelihoods. They make the best logical decisions based on truth, science and reality. Let’s keep term limits for life. I just love these monsters.
