COVID-19

While the media somehow debates whether the President actually suggested that injecting disinfectant into your lungs may be a cure for COVID-19 (he absolutely did), the US passed 900,000 cases and 50,000 deaths.

Trump wants to be thought of as a war-time President. Well, he’s closing in on the total death toll from 21 years of combat in Vietnam (58,220). He should be there pretty soon, as we are losing more than 1/2 an Iraq & Afghanistan, or 2/3rds a 9/11, every day.

War-time President? That is a fucking joke. If he had been President during WWII, we’d all be speaking German now.

He wants to be a war profiteer President.

In completely unexpected news Arizona - which has been the venue for numerous anti-mitigation protests over recent days - has seen a spike in cases and deaths.

If he is a war-time president, he’s dodging this war like he did Vietnam.

Well, that’s only a topical application.

Nope. That’s Windex.

don’t mention the buckets of urine used to toughen hands…can you imagine

Reports say that they’re dumping Alex Azar as Director of HHS. I’m sure his replacement will be a highly qualified and competent individual.

Is it going to be the labradoodle guy?

Rand Paul? I doubt it.

He is the poster child for why I hate “3rd Party” guy.

Ron Paul?

That’s my thought. There’s a reason he was brought in (other than his complete lack of experience or qualifications).

Niagara Falls.

It’s been a tough month.

That’s terrible. I can’t help but wonder how many thousands of lives could have been saved if Hilary had won. Damn.

Trump did so much damage to our infrastructure that is hurting us now - not least of which was a $1.7 trillion tax cut that went almost exclusively to the already-wealthy - but he made some choices that have a clear and direct impact, including:

  • Cutting funding to the CDC
  • Closing the group in DHS dedicated to preparing for pandemics
  • Removing the CDC’s Chinese imbeds (so we had no independent intel on what was happening in Wuhan)

Then there’s the whole ignoring the the intel briefings he received - going all the way back to November last year - and pretending this was nothing and would all go away by itself deep into March which, as the death toll numbers show, was already far too late. Also, what has he done since? Really…what?

A rusty mail box would’ve done a better job. A functioning civil servant like Clinton would’ve still got things wrong but done infinitely better.
