BREAKING NEWS: Trump said this today:
But I think what happens is, it’s going to go away. This is going to go away.
Yes, this was about COVID-19 and, no, you’re not going crazy.
At the same small business event (ironically, the phrase that Stormy Daniels uses to describe her tryst with Trump), he also repeated the claim that Ivanka has created more than 15 million jobs. If you’re trying to figure the math, 15 million is 10% of the entire US workforce. Thanks Ivanka!
Let’s not forget about the vice-moron who visited the Mayo clinic and refused to comply with its’ policy requiring everyone in the facility to wear a mask at all times.
His explanation: “Since I don’t have the coronavirus, I thought it’d be a good opportunity for me to be here, to be able to speak to these researchers these incredible healthcare personnel and look them in the eye and say thank you.”
Putting aside the atrocious leadership of flaunting the policy’s of one of the nation’s most prestigious medical facilities for what? Vanity? Comfort? The explanation itself is remarkably stupid. The mask he was supposed to wear doesn’t cover his eyes or muffle his voice or in any way prevent him from looking anyone in the eye and saying thank you.
He knows that if he wears a mask his boss will interpret it as weakness and he’ll be fired. I mean, obviously.
What I don’t get is why the director of the clinic didn’t tell that fucking subhuman to go fuck himself.
Going to go away? Said on the same day Fauci said the opposite?
Fucking lunatic.
Was Pence born without balls or did Trump take them?
I think Mother keeps them tucked safely away in her handbag.
Beat me to it.
How did we end up with such irredeemably damaged people running the country?
White people think they are oppressed.
60 million idiots voting for Trump, and 100 million bigger idiots who didnt vote at all. Add in Putin and here we are.
I’ll post these here with a fair warning of very strong language. However, they are brilliantly funny. They have to be watched in order.
Stewart Lee on:
Trump today apparently also said “very good experts” were telling him the virus would not affect the US or Europe or any nation but China. He did not identify the “very good experts.”
At some point, don’t the people who were in the room have a moral obligation to rebut this nonsense?
What good would it do?
I suppose I’m naive, but I’d like to think that it would convince some of the folks who voted for Trump that he really is a charlatan who is in power because of their votes, and they won’t make the same mistake again.
They sold their morality to get Trump elected. It’s simply gone.
You fundamentally misunderstsnd the Trump voter. They honestly believe he was appointed by God, and they ain’t bucking the big guy.
Yes, you are naive. Very.
This would mean having to admit they were wrong, and that’s not going to happen any time soon. They are pot-committed at this point, no turning back now.
Order given. No requirements to change work practices that have turned these meat-packing plants into virus-packing plants. Iowa’s Gov (R) has said that anyone not showing up for work will be deemed to be quitting voluntarily, and so be ineligible for unemployment assistance. No word on whether any of these workers - or their families - are getting any health insurance.
When Trump started with his “MAGA” shit, I thought he was referring back to the 1950s. Now it’s clear he meant the 1850s.
There’s an OSHA lawsuit in there somewhere about unsafe working conditions and lack of appropriate personal protective equipment. One of our resident lawyers may can chime in.
