I have heard that language and tone and behavior from abusers more than once in my life. It is ABUSE. ABUSE. ABUSE.

He exhibits the freighting characteristics of mentally deranged misanthropes. His monotone un-inflected speech and lack of facial expressions are indicative of a person without any moral code. He is a totally amoral extremely dangerous person without the normal capacity for compassion an empathy. He has a sadistic nature and delights in destroying anyone who fails to worship him or dares to criticize his erratic behavior. We have a pathological lying monster in control of our nation with the same characteristics as those of displayed by vicious criminals. The most freighting aspect of this dilemma is that he has a powerful party of supporters who refuse to hold him accountable for fear of losing their positions and are willing to compromise their morals to remain in power.

Translation: LOYALTY from all blue governors.

1. Loyalty must first be pledged before requests for medical supplies are fulfilled. Pledges must be multiple, and believably sincere.

2. Pledge loyalty enough, and Pence will take calls.

3. Act nice enough when Pence takes calls, and Pence might fulfill governors' requests.

4. What have you got to lose? Your citizens! Census! Votes! State taxes!

5. So, again. Whaddaya got to lose!

Think, friends. It's nothing personal, just business.
