> [@Senegoid](#): > > If they begin chopping trees tomorrow, how many can they cut down by January 20? How much damage can they do between now and then? Will they be so quick to invest in the necessary infrastructure before they see what Biden will do? They can do a fair amount of damage. There’s been some level of logging activity around the area for decades. Some of it in Tongass, though roadless in that case. But timber has been a major industry for Alaska for longer than any of us have been alive. As noted, the infrastructure already exists. It’s not like the entire state of Alaska is pristine, untouched wilderness. The equipment exists and this decision is basically redrawing lines on the map telling people where they can or can’t use it. ---

I neighbor emailed me this morning that _“Trump, at his rallies, is now saying that doctors are lying about coronavirus deaths because they make more money by writing in ‘death by coronavirus’ in their death certificates.”_ I don’t have a cite, and I’m not in a position to search at the moment. I know there is no depth to which he will not sink, but…has anyone else heard this? ---

From what I’ve been able to tell, Trump has been claiming that for quite a while (that doctors inflate the Covid death count for the $$$). It seems that his real point is that the death count is being much exaggerated beyond what it really is. It goes right along with all his other attempts to downplay the problem. ---

But who are you going to trust, the President of the United States, or the President of the American Medical Association? Fuck us all for living in a world where that’s a question. ---

Trumps ONLY and ENTIRE ‘business model’ is to blame others and walk away leaving others to hold the bag. This is the one and OLNY thing that he is capable of. This is why American banks won’t have anything to do with him. And Why Don Jr said they get all their money from Russia. Trump is a Traitor and Extortionist and a bad con man. He is apparently smarter than nearly half of the country which isn’t saying much. His ‘lessor’ crimes are too many to list. ---

Yes (my bolding). It also performs that Dictator’s Imperative of reminding his subjects that HE is the only acceptable source of information. “Scientists” and “doctors” and “experts” are not to be heeded, because they are all corrupt and lying for their own advantage-----unlike Mr. Dictator, who selflessly cares, so _very_ deeply, for the welfare of his loyal subjects.\* . . . \*so long as they remain loyal, of course… ---

I really cannot fathom how despicable [this stunt](https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-declares-1-november-national-205113931.html) is: > Trump declares 1 November to be ‘national day of remembrance for those killed by illegal aliens’ I’m guessing he thought Sunday was Election Day and that’s why he didn’t pick 3 November.
