Humphrey's comments, made with much apparent anger, are woefully inaccurate and glad that other calmer individuals have countered with the important key points to consider in a more balanced way.  (For instance, the narrative designed by the mainstream media that there was actually something else that we could have done to prevent the China pandemic beyond "flattening the curve" which was done; in fact, Trump did more than many wanted early on such as shutting down flights from China and Europe and invoking the DPA to ramp up ventilator production, deploy field military hospitals/ships, and initiate operation Warp Speed to speculatively ramp up vaccine development.  This virus was going to affect us no matter what - even lockdowns only delay, do not prevent, and cost lives in many, many other ways not to mention crater the economy.  Hypocrites Pelosi and de Blassio and Schumer who said Trump was "xenophobic" when doing the flight shutdowns, and instead urged people to shop and eat in Chinatown in late Feb.  Even the revered Dr. Fauci said several times in late January there was nothing the U.S. should worry about.)

I would only add that people who think the Democrats are our salvation, and seem to focus disporportionately on personalities rather than policies, please keep in mind that once the Democrats are put in office (assuming a turn of the Senate with the White House), will forever change this country - towards Socialism.  You will lose your freedoms and liberties in ways that you cannot begin to imagine, but look to the country of Venezuela (which we have family in) or the downfall of Califoria (whose decline we lived over 25 years) to see how quickly a rich country can be destroyed utterly and tragically with a swift removal of the middle class.  Biden is a maybe once nice but now severly aging person who cannot stand up to the lunatic left that will quickly pass spending and tax bills (think the $3.5 Trillion "HEROES" act on steroids, damn the recovery), eliminate the Senate filibuster, make liberal DC and PR into states to bolster majority rule, grant citizenship to illegal aliens, pack the Supreme Court with additional justices, use climate change hysteria to exert moral control and vast corrupt policies like funding of Solyndra, re-export jobs and control of our country to China, use identity politics to divide and justify group preferences, quotas, and reparations (that never works; see "Affirmative Action Around the World:  An Empiracal Study" by noted African American scholar Thomas Sowell), revoke the 1st and 2nd amendments, eliminate the electoral college, etc. etc.  This is unfortunately no hyperbole, not an exageration, and why this election is the most critical since the founding of the country.  No less than the USA and your freedoms and ability to pursue happiness are indeed riding on the outcome.  Please set aside visceral reactions to personalities, propagandized by elites controlling most media, and think more deeply about all the underlying dynamics, and the goodness that a thriving, broad-based economy brings to all its citizens.  As someone recently remarked in the Wall Street Journal, "Be smarter than your feelings," and again look beyond personalities to policies and likely outcomes.  

I really don't know how to even begin to answer your attack.  In spite of your arrogance, you're really not speaking as a Voice of Reason; you're just hearing voices.  First, my comments certainly were made with much anger, not apparent anger, just plain anger.  It angers me, of course it angers me, when republican minions continue to spew spittle in defense of indefensible criminality, corruption, and incompetence.  Second, no, my comments are not woefully inaccurate; you, being just another republican minion, just want to continue living your delusion rather than see the truth.  And, third, my comments are my words, recorded on this blog; I wrote them; they didn't write themselves; and they don't have any ability to be or not be glad that anyone, calmer or otherwise, countered them.  They're just my words and your grammar and spelling are marginal, which seems to be a chronic problem with republicans.

As for the rest of your stuff, you can try to use stilted language all you want; but, it's still marginally literate nonsense.  Are you seriously trying to defend the current administration's coronavirus response?  We're one of the richest countries in the world; yet, our rates of infection, hospitalization, and death from the virus are many, many times higher than they should be as a proportion of our population compared to other countries.  Those are the facts, the relevant facts, and the only facts needed to conclude that our current administration and the morally repugnant republican party that defends and backs it have screwed the pooch on pandemic response.  Case closed.  Your personal desires and political delusions don't matter.  You can blither and blather your nonsense all you want; it doesn't matter.  The facts speak for themselves.

Let's move on to the rest of your ridiculous assault.  Are you actually accusing lifelong devout Catholic and former Vice President Joseph Biden of being a socialist?  Are you serious?  This is the guy who stopped Bernie Sanders in the primaries; this is the guy who has been accused, over and over, of being too conservative and unwilling to entertain more progressive thinking; and this is the guy who has steadfastly defended maintaining health insurance based on employment because he doesn't want to go too far on alternative approaches.  That's not the profile of a socialist; but, you're so far over on the bleeding edge of the crazed right wing that you claim he's a socialist.  At the same time, you're quoting Scott Atlas' buddy, Thomas Sowell, while calling other people lunatics?  And I'm supposed to take you seriously?  Are you kidding me?  As far as I can tell, you need to get over to the nearest grocery store  ...because you've run out of tin foil to repair your hat!

And, it's your emphatic assertion that an administration that includes Kamala Harris is going to go right after our "freedoms and liberties" and "revoke the 1st and 2nd amendments?"  This is Kamala Harris, the attorney general who fought like hell to get foreclosed homeowners a fair deal from sleazy degenerates like Angelo Mozilo and Dick Fuld?  Come off it, you ridiculous tool!  Not even the Trump Campaign itself has the crust to spout that kind of nonsense.  Do you even know anything about the folks you're badmouthing or are you just hallucinating this stuff?

Look, I'm truly sorry your homeland is a mess; but, Venezuela has been suffering from unchecked greed and rampant mismanagement for many, many, decades and it's not America's fault.  We shouldn't be subjected to your rightwing delusions just because you lost your chance to impose them down there.

Don't get on your high horse and start telling me about the benefits of a thriving broad-based economy.  I've been helping to create a thriving, broad-based economy, actually helping and not the predatory and parasitic feeding that republicans do, since before you were born.  And, don't get on your high horse and tell me not to "focus disporportionately (sic) on personalities."  To paraphrase Kamala Harris, I know a predator when I see one.  But, you're right; your assertions are really not hyperbole and not exageration.  No, they're just full up ridiculous bull!   

Correct. It started in 2010 with ENP as the lead agency instead of the COE. I know because I was the project manager for Everglades NP. FDOT WAS NOT SUPPORTIVE EITHER.
