I am NOT over this

 Texts were sent to census takers instructing them how to lie on the forms.  They were supposed to mark down one resident for houses they hadn’t visited.  The Trump administration was waging a legal battle to end the census early and wanted to have the results in, even if they were faked.                                                      Morning Call, (Nov. 25, 2020), p. 8. 

Two Category 4 hurricanes, Eta and Iota, have slammed into Central America in recent weeks, creating thousands of refugees.  It is obvious that hurricanes are increasing in intensity because of warmer Gulf waters.  Trump dismisses global warming as a hoax.

On Friday the Trump administration gutted federal protection of birds, including migratory birds protected under a treaty with Canada and Mexico.  Under the new regulations, companies will be fined only if birds are killed “intentionally.”  Thus, a pipeline company could rip up bird habitat as long as it didn’t “intend” to do the birds harm.  A chemical company could construct a holding pond of toxic waste that ducks landed on as long as the company didn’t “intend” to kill the ducks.

Approximately 48% of my fellow Americans voted for this man who said he would make America great again.  Now they claim the election was rigged.  I am not over this, and I won’t get over this.
