trumpandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic impact in the United States due to the utter denial and failure to take timely and appropriate action by the person charged with leadership of the United State, Donald trump. The trumpandemic resulted in tens of thousands of lives needlessly lost or forever impacted with medical conditions resulting from Covid-19, along with significant impact on the economy, and small businesses. In addition, Mr. trump's cronies were given useless bailouts wasting billions in tax dollars that should have gone to the general public.

A general screw-up that will impact America for decades to come, with an accurate name to depict the cause. This could have been prevented, in which case we would merely call it a Covid-19 pandemic.

Most countries in the world are seeing minimized economic impact from the Covid-19 pandemic and are back to cautious reopening. The United states is still battling to get it under control 2 months after they should have been able to due to the trumpandemic.

Netflix balloon binge

A word for when you binge watch on Netflix thinking there are only a couple of episodes left only to discover there are many more seasons. "Balloon" refers to a balloon payment on a loan where you pace yourself then have a large amount due all at once at the end.

I was binge watching Breaking Bad on Netflix last weekend when I discovered there were 3 more seasons I hadn't realized existed. My Friday binge watch turned into a weekend long Netflix balloon binge.

but her emails

A not-so-subtle way to change the subject when you are about to be faced with being wrong about something. This is a reference to overlooking many many many problems with donald trump due to the single issue of Hillary Clinton's private email server, and using that reason as both a reason and defense for voting for him. This is currently used by trump voters any time any legitimate fault is found of Mr. trump.

Person A: "Mr. trump rants that the media inaccurately covers him but when a reporter is kindly attempting to get his point of view he not only refuses to give it, asking the reporter to figure it out on their own, then cuts off the interview. It seems his real issue with the media is that they WON"t lie for him."

Person B: "But her emails!"
