What's this?

I'm bragging? Seriously? Do you really think I am happy about the

prospect of our mortality rate being better than Italy's? I hope the most recent Italian Corona fatality is the last. That goes for the entire World. As to you not caring about how many people in foreign countries die...why in the hell did we fight WWI and WWII? In both cases we could hunkered down and been safe with the oceans between us and the evil. You were one of the first to complain about Trump's "nationalism"...and now you only care about America? Ease up on anger...or direct at someone that does not care about other people.
