Eviction
I’m still not quite sure what to make of it, but it appears Donald Trump has signed an executive order forestalling evictions for people making less than $99,000 per year and having trouble making their rent through the end of the year.[1]
That should keep many of his Trumpsters off the street through the election, long enough perhaps for Trump to get reelected, and through Christmas. So we might have a reprieve, only temporary, but a reprieve from the violence I worried about yesterday.[2] 2021, however, will be a new year.
