That triumphal arch, if it is ever built, needs to be dedicated to communicable disease.

Because it is winning.

Trump needs the Nobel Peace Prize for this because, as you know, when you're dead you're peaceful.

What will it be hardest to forgive MAGA for? Spitting on the Bill of Rights or letting the enemies of mankind lose in the form of disease?

Frankly, I see no forgiveness in my generation or the next. Too much damage; too much hurt. Too much smug mindlessness.
