The August 27 edition of The Day goes full circle. Cover headline: "Amid crises, GOP stays course," notching up more of the same President Trump worship nonsense, "NBA playoff games called off amid player protest of shooting," and your Lee Elci disappoints, panning the "Democratic convention was painfully boring, its message empty." Really.

Is white supremacy, police brutality and Black lives shattered entertaining? Trump's GOP "Law and Order" political life preserver is a nauseating feedback loop, promoting white supremacy that demand social justice protests, characterized as civil unrest providing hoped for cover for Mr. Trump, a.k.a. Cadet Bone Spurs, to call for a militarized police response to restore law and order, which is purposely disrupted to pursue an election strategy that is all illusion and no substance.

Walgreens: The Corner of Healthy and Happy. Trump: The corner of fascist and narcissist.

Earth to Mr. Elci: Political competency "trumps" entertaining showmanship with Americans. World-leading 182,000+ COVID-19 death total is the tragic price of incompetent indifference. Hey America: You were fooled once. We can and must do better!
