When are we going to get to the part where it becomes Trumps fault?

You guys are behaving as if the Montreal Grand Prix is the greatest loss to the rest of the world in the Montreal summer, when in reality, to any reasonably cultured person, it's the Montreal Jazz Festival. I went to the Montreal Jazz Festival every year from 2003 to 2015 or 2016. Some of my highlights:
2004 or 2005- Quebec top winning High School Jazz Band delivers stunning rendition of Hawaii 5-0 Theme Song to a wild ovation. Almost brought tears to my eyes.
2006- Paul Simon and his South African band warming up with free concert on main stage- amazing
2009- Stevie Wonder- free concert on main stage. I heard it- never got close enough to the stage to see it. Largest crowd I ever saw- horrible and disorganized crowd control by Montreal police
2011- Disco band Escort does Donna Summer tribute via a bilingual, biracial lead singer who was amazing and she razzed the crowd by speaking French to them.
2012- got some Toronto guys buying me free drinks at the Keg because they discovered I was an American baseball fan and they were huge Toronto Blue Jays fans. They all wore suits, in the financial sector for official business meetings. We drank all afternoon, then they caught a train to Toronto at 6 pm and left me more shitfaced than at any time in the last 20 years.

That jazz festival is awesome. I remember I met these Filipino nurses and got fucked up @ some casino and got thrown out cause we kept callin our black jack table dealer Ayatollah every time we bust cause he wore a turban. I ended up @ their place that night and they let me sleep over and sobered me up the next day in time to meet Sasha Jo/Hannah @ that time, good memories, can’t wait for that f’in vaccine or whatever it is that will
Bring us back to normal!

I agree with this statement, because some of the guys I brought to mini parties in Montreal fell into this category. They were not even car racing fans really, but to them, the F1 race was a "spectacle", and it provided an event backdrop to a weekend of escorts, bar hopping, and cigars at the cigar bar. I probably knew more than them about F1, and I know shit. The serious fans of this sport are all Eurodudes.
You see this phenomenon in New York City sports bars with soccer. I remember going into a Sports Bar on Spring Street to catch the UConn-Wichita State game in the Maui Classic in December 2010 (UConn won the NCAA championship later that season). I got them to put one of the big screen TVs on the game. Later on, at the bar, a group of Eurodudes invaded the bar and took it over to watch Premiere League soccer. They were all rowdy UK guys, I never even knew so many of them existed, and the good news is only 1 goal got scored in the game they were watching but when it was, the whole bar was so loud with screaming I thought my ear drums would shatter.
A buddy of mine, an American who lives in NYC, was at the same bar during the summer, and almost got into a physical fight with 2 English guys at the same bar when they thought the Yankees game should be switched off for some second league soccer game in England. Apparently he chided them that their team wasn't even good enough to be in the Premier League, and his comments on that were not well received. Later on he called me, pissed, saying "this is New York fucking city and we do NOT Turn off the NY Yankees to watch some bullshit second league soccer game for a couple of Eurofuckers when their team was also losing." He was seething.
Biggest loss to Covid in Montreal: Jazz Festival.

I checked the State of Maine's website to see if they have updated their quarantine restrictions. Maine vacations this summer remain open only to the residents of the so called Sensational 6 States:
- Maine
- New Hampshire
- Vermont
- New York
- New Jersey
- Connecticut
Dr. Fauci caught not wearing his mask at the Washington Nationals game. I wonder if he now has to pay the $1,000 fine for not wearing his mask in public. Classic do as I say not as I do. I expect more from him:

Fauci takes off mask at Nats game, prompting outrage
He was sitting next to his wife.

I watched the Yankees-Nats game, and what was embarrassing was that Dr. Fauci threw out the first pitch and he missed home plate by at least 6 feet. Baseball was not his sport. But he did captain his high school basketball as their 5'7" point guard. Regis High in New York City, 1958.

When asked why he threw the ceremonial first pitch in the Nats-Yankees season opener 6 feet wide of home plate, Dr. Fauci reportedly said, "I didn't want anyone to catch anything."
For a smart guy, Fauci’s really dumb. He was already a legend in medical circles 30 years ago and shld hv cashed out by heading to the pharma giants, would easily hv made enough to buy his own baseball team or private island to quarantine in.
Instead Fauci stays in public service for decades, turning down promotions and even potentially exposing himself to the Ebola virus. Now he has to take instructions from far less qualified people and get belittled on national tv. At 79 years, he still has to work 20 hours a day & probably sleeps at his office desk. Which is for the best since he’s probably having a hard time at home with his wife & children receiving death threats from crazies who don’t like Fauci’s public health messages. Yet Fauci is unwavering & perseveres even for those crazies.
America’s in bad shape now but we’ll be fine so long as there are dumb people like Fauci sticking their necks out for us.

Robert O'Brien, Donald Trump's national security adviser, tests positive for COVID-19
National security adviser Robert O'Brien is the highest-ranking Trump administration figure known to test positive for the coronavirus.
www.usatoday.com
President Donald Trump's national security adviser, Robert O'Brien, has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a senior administration official.
O'Brien, who was named to his job last September, is the highest-ranking administration official known to test positive for the coronavirus.
The news came days after the announcement that a Marine assigned to the military unit that flies Marine One tested positive for coronavirus but didn't have direct contact with Trump or his presidential helicopter.
"He has mild symptoms and has been self-isolating and working from a secure location off site," the White House said in a statement Monday, asserting that there was no risk of exposure to the president or the vice president.
