For the record: Donald Trump is a weak leader; she's a truthful leader

Goodness knows, I harass my Congresswoman plenty, as all good citizens must if we are to keep these "Representatives" in line.

In return, she sends me an email newsletter. Or, sometimes, more than one. Databases aren't perfect.

I have to admit, I don't always open these missives. Does anyone? But this afternoon I received one that provides a succinct indictment of the orange-tinged sociopath infesting the Presidency. Since I think we must keep the litany of his murderous failures in front of our minds until we evict him, I offer here what Speaker Pelosi had to say:

In order to move forward, we must first understand the truth of what has put us in this position:

• The truth is that Donald Trump dismantled the infrastructure handed to him which was meant to plan for and overcome a pandemic.

• The truth is that Donald Trump was warned about this pandemic months in advance.

• The truth is that Donald Trump told his most loyal followers that the pandemic would disappear, thus endangering lives and paving the way for economic disaster.

• The truth is that we did not have proper testing available in March despite Trump repeatedly claiming that we did; and even now, we do not have adequate tests, masks, PPE, and necessary equipment, which creates unnecessary death and suffering.

• The truth is because of an insufficient response to this health crisis, the strong economy handed to Donald Trump is now a disaster, causing the suffering of countless Americans and endangering lives.

• The truth is a weak person, a poor leader, takes no responsibility. A weak person blames others.

• The truth is, from this moment on, Americans must ignore lies and start to listen to scientists and other respected professionals in order to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

Once we all share the truth of what took place and what is currently happening, including in communities of color, we can work together to solve these problems.

She's right; he wants us to look away from the truth of his crimes. He wants us to forget. He wants to keep us fixated on his reality show. If we intend to throw this murderer out of the White House in November, we have to keep shouting the truth from the house tops, as Nancy does here.
