Well…okay, am starting to get back into politics in the news and the evolution of the right’s response to the virus is just frickin stunning….if you remember 6 weeks or so ago everyone from rush to trump to hannity were bleating out of their mouths that the virus is just a hoax that the dems were using to attack trump since they couldn’t convict him in the senate….then they moved to “it’s just like the flu” and 40,000 people die from the flu int he US so no big deal if a few people die…then the classic “don’t make the cure worse than the disease” that trump picked up from some idiot on fox “news” was the excuse that trump was going to use to “open the country” by Easter Sunday…remember that gem? The next evolution was that only old people are going to die and they are old and are takers anyway so they aren’t worth anything…then the spin got up to 10,000 rpm when trump and his enablers on fox declared that “only” 100,000 dead meant that trump did just the bestest job that any president had ever done or ever could do so he should be congratulated and fawned over forever…now, in the sickest thing I have ever seen in my lifetime, the right is now saying that dying is the greatest thing that can happen to you and the people who live are the unlucky ones….now, did you have any question that the repubs have become a death cult and will do anything to protect the worst leader in the history of the world just so they can continue to get their unqualified judges rammed through the senate by the grim reaper McConnell? How many dead is that worth? A quarter of a million? A million? Every damn repub has blood on their hands….I guess trump CAN kill someone on 5th Avenue and his followers well stay with him….

Where did the idea of “backup” come from…
Well…listening to the whiner in chief talk the past few days and his assertion that the federal government is only “backup” for the states, it made me wonder where that whole idea came from. In my lifetime it has always been the feds who have taken the lead in disaster relief…until idiot boy, that is…I wonder if “backup” is just trump’s shorthand for “I’m just too lazy or stupid to do anything” so don’t expect anything from me or anyone around me…now I’m going to play golf. And the latest whine from the laziest *president in history is that hospitals are “asking for too much” as if the money for the PPE and other equipment they need is coming out of his own pocket….and the lack of federal response boils down to only one thing…trump just doesn’t want to work that hard and even telling other people to do something is too much work for him…so he just won’t do it…and that is killing people all over the country and your friends and family, and me could be next….
250,000 dead is now acceptable?
Well…I really think it’s dereliction of duty for the media to allow the idiot trump to start to normalize the death of 250,000 Americans and are not holding him accountable for any of them…even though it was his denial and incompetence that is responsible for most for them. They just can’t allow those goalposts to be picked up and moved a hundred miles down the road after idiot boy said at the start that “it’s just one guy coming in from China and it will be over quickly” and downplayed that there was any threat at all when an early response like we have here in Michigan would have at least lessened the outbreak…and the bungling of a testing program that would have basically tested everyone in an area with an outbreak would have allowed us to recognize people who were infected but not showing symptoms yet and isolate them would have stopped the spread…just like South Korea did. The only thing I have to scream at the top of my lungs to the media is “do your damn jobs” stop following the shiny new thing that idiot boy puts out there every day…stop going to his daily campaign rallies and reporting on people like the “pillow guy” who have no damn business being at the briefing in the first place…after all, none of this is normal and if you keep trying to normalize trump and his mental illness it will only result in more and more dead….and remember your failings in 2016…when you ignored trump’s obvious unfitness for office and wasted gallons of ink on Hillary’s frickin e-mails…it’s partially your fault that Americans are dying…so do better this time….
How low can he go?
Well…we all know the the idiot trump is the worst person in the world, and that was before his rant at one of his campaign rallies/briefings the other day where he attacked doctors, nurses, and hospitals for using “too many” masks and ventilators…saying bluntly that he thinks they are stealing them since no one could go through a million masks or that any hospital needs more than two ventilators…how stupid/venal can one person get? It’s all part of trump’s mental illness where he thinks that everyone is on the grift like he is and he can’t understand that people are honest and dedicated to protecting their fellow citizens…and since he is full of scams, everyone else is too. Just this one statement would be enough for anyone with any shred of compassion or empathy to resign in shame…and the rest of the repub party should be pushing him to do it…but the cult of trump won’t allow that…anything is fine if it keeps them approving unqualified, right wing judges that are going to trash this country for a generation…they are all in on the grift…and all need to go…
trump is just what we used to call “an asshole”
Well…you know, I’m so tired of the asshole in chief and am getting brain rot from even hearing of his assholery so I am going to do this one and then take a couple of days off to look at the birds and try to fix my allergies without medicine thanks to all the meth makers out there….as I said a couple of days ago the deciding factor on whether your friends and neighbors are going to die from this virus is whether or not governors kiss trump’s ass to get the medical supplies that will keep our doctors, nurses, and patients alive…and gee, what a surprise the ones that are getting stiffed are in blue states with Washington, California, New York, and Michigan getting only a small fraction of what they requested and are all scrambling to try to find this gear anywhere since the trump led federal government won’t send any. But look at Florida whose governor is a trump toady and won’t do anything without trump’s okay while fluffing him on a daily basis…guess how much of the requested supplies Florida got? Yeah, as sick as it is, Florida got every damn thing they asked for…100% plus more while the blue states got maybe 10% of what they needed…and while we in the blue states are doing everything we can to stop the rise of new cases by staying at home and closing businesses…the asshole governor of Florida, deSantis, hasn’t even closed all the beaches with pictures today of thousands of people still on the beach spreading coronavirus with abandon….and a big part of this is that I think he believes the fox news and trump propaganda that red states are immune to the disease…this is what you get when you don’t believe the experts or the facts…and just today, while the worst still seems ahead of us, we are at least slowing the rise of new cases in California and we should see the same thing here in Michigan in a couple of weeks….but in Florida? Estimates have the death toll there at almost a half million people if this mini idiot there doesn’t act….and this is repeated in all the red states whose governors aren’t taking this seriously. Through it all do we hear any condolences or empathy from trump or any repub? Nope all we get from trump is a tweetstorm of how high the ratings are for his lie fests and more attacks on the people in blue states who are trying to protect their people….that is what we used to call an asshole when I was young…and who knows? I may not get much older with the repubs running things…
Did anyone else notice?
Well….as I predicted, when the repubs in the senate let the idiot trump get away with extorting the Ukraine to fake some dirt on Joe Biden…a Quid Pro Quo if you will…that he would then know he could get away with continuing to do it…and that is happening now with idiot boy holding up federal aid to both NY and Michigan until the governors of both states kiss his ass…now, doing this to a state that the idiot needs to win for re-election is probably one of the most stupid things I have ever seen…but it’s typical trump since nothing in the world has any importance to him other than his feelings and delusions…and Cuomo and Whitmer had the audacity to tell the truth and ask the moron in chief to do his damn job which trump always sees as a personal attack since he can’t think any other way with his narcissism ruling his addled brain. This isn’t going to end well for idiot boy in November…can you say landslide? Especially here in Michigan when the people whose friends and family trump has murdered go out to vote…
This is on you, Michigan trump voters…
Well…just when you thought that the idiot trump couldn’t get any lower in his behavior towards the people of this country, he goes even lower than the basement that he dwells in. Just today, our governor here in Michigan made a startling revelation that the vendors she has contracted with to get the PPE necessary to keep our doctors and nurses from dying have been told by trump and his cronies not to send anything to Michigan since Whitmer hasn’t been kissing trump’s ass and has been criticizing his handling of the pandemic. This comes straight from the vendors themselves and they are complying because they have been threatened with never getting any more business if they send anything here…so, trump voters, how does it feel that you voted for someone who is trying to kill your friends and neighbors who are busting their asses trying to save your lives? There is no other word for this but criminal and I put the blame for it on every damn repub in this country…especially you repub senators who had the chance to remove this murderer in December and you put your own personal power above the lives of Americans who it is your job to protect….there are buckets of blood to go around for every damn repub in this country….I hope you’re happy when it’s one of your family or friends who die….
All of this is trump’s fault…
Well…here we go….the economy is in freefall with the reporting earlier today of 3.5 million people applying for unemployment and at least a million more gig workers or self employed people unemployed who can’t apply for benefits….to put this in perspective, at the worst of the 2008 crash, the highest monthly unemployment application count was 675,000…and economists are predicting that there could be 40 million out of work by the end of this mess…and guess what? It’s all frickin trump’s fault…every damn bit of this could have been avoided if the asshole in chief had not listened to fox news, limbaugh, and the rest of the right who pushed the lie that this virus was a hoax just meant to hurt the idiot in chief…and if he had the capacity to take anything seriously…which he does only when it has something to do with him and his inflated ego….and today, we have his toadies out in the news saying that he doesn’t have to do his job or care about NY because someone there called him a racist and doesn’t kiss his ass….and have been criticizing him for his inept, incompetent response to the pandemic. Hey Dinesh, you felon…take you addled brain back to when Obama was elected and your god trump started right off with the whole fake birth certificate bullshit and the entire repub party made it their mission to belittle him and one of your asshole congressmen even yelled “you lie” at Obama at SOTU…what did Obama do? got to work trying to save this country from the melt down and never once asked his aides what governor of what state said bad things about him so he could ignore them and let people die….all of this is trump’s fault…with the assist going to the rest of the repub party who had the chance to remove this criminal in December but all of them voted to let this incompetent, stupid, asshole stay in office…and now a million or more Americans are going to die because of it….and many more are going to be ruined financially because the bumbler in chief is so damn dumb and self centered….you own this, repubs….
The real “death panels”
Well….I wonder if everyone has as short a memory as the repubs think we do…I sure remember the lies when the ACA was being worked on with the repubs shouting every damn day that there were things called “death panels” that would condemn the old folks in this country to death after they reached a certain age or started to need more care…all of it a blatant lie to scare people into hating the bill…but that didn’t happen and the ACA is more popular than ever, especially in these pandemic days. But just yesterday, and I think I mentioned this a little, the new repub trial balloon that is being floated is that we are going to have to sacrifice older people to the virus to get the economy going again by removing the measures that are in place across the country to keep people isolated and prevent the virus spread…the idiot trump started it the other day when he said that he will “open” the economy in 15 days if the damage that closures are doing too much for the economy…and one of trump’s parrots, Lt gov Dan Patrick of Texas (of course) said that killing hundreds of thousands of seniors could be “worth it” if it got the economy going again…asking what kind of country would be left for his grandkids if we wait until the virus is controlled…yep, the “pro-life” party is just perfectly fine killing lots of seniors if his rich buddies need to steal even more money from the rest of us and they can’t do it when the economy is shut down. We know one of the reasons the idiot boy trump wants the economy going again no matter the cost is that it is costing him money with his hotels shut down….and nothing else matters except him and the world’s effect on him….the one thing that idiot boy doesn’t understand that he didn’t do anything to “close down” the states that are trying to stop the spread of the virus by isolation so there isn’t a damn thing he can do to “open” them…do you think Cuomo or Whitmer are going to listen to anything that the big orange moron says? They are going to do what the science says, what the experts say to protect the people and not corporations….so bloviate as much as you want moron, we in Michigan are going to do what’s right for us and you can just go right to hell….
Not sure about politics today…
Well…not sure if I’m going to talk about politics or not today…haven’t found anything yet that I want to comment on..oh, yeah, there is one thing…have you seen the trial balloons being floated by the idiot trump and his minions that they are about done with doing anything about the virus since it is harming the economy too much to protect people? Yep, they and their propaganda arm, fox news, have started to say that protecting people from the virus can’t be done cheaply so they are going to give up in a week or so and just let everybody get the virus with the prospect that millions will die just to get his precious frickin stock market to go up again and protect his re-election campaign. I think there is more to it than that, though and it has to do with trump’s mental illness and the fact that he just doesn’t have the capacity to focus for the months necessary to manage this crisis…and he is getting bored with the whole thing so he is just going to declare victory and let people die as he reopens factories, restaurants, and bars…letting the chips fall where they may…and they will fall with millions dead just so he can go golfing again. These millions of dead could have been avoided if the repub party hadn’t turned into a cult and had removed the criminal trump from office in December…but they couldn’t be bothered with doing their jobs or thinking ahead….the blood is on your hands, repubs….
