How many more times must we be embarrassed … nay, humiliated … by the ‘man’ in the Oval Office? The latest …
Just call on Dr. Trump …
As you likely know, Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was hospitalized on Sunday after battling coronavirus in isolation for ten days, when he took a turn for the worse. Since Monday, he has been on oxygen. While not a fan of Mr. Johnson, in comparison to our own evil despot he is nearly a genius, so I am certainly hoping for his recovery. Enter Dr. Trump …
Continuing on his previous myth that he is a “stable genius”, knows more than all the experts in the world, and so forth, he decided to help PM Johnson …
“We’ll see if we can be of help. We’ve contacted all of Boris’ doctors, and we’ll see what is going to take place, but they are ready to go. We’re working with the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] and everybody else, but we are working with London with respect to Boris Johnson.”
More than 435,000 cases in his own country, nearly 15,000 deaths, Trump having not a shred of medical background, and he’s going to help Boris??? Now you’ve got to really feel sorry for Boris! It would be funny, except this is a person who is supposedly the leader of a nation of 330 million people, and he obviously has the mentality of a four-year-old child! Please, people, vote this asshole out! Meanwhile, our apologies to both Prime Minister Johnson and the good people of the UK … we will try to keep him on a shorter leash.
The pot calling the kettle …
On Tuesday, at his dog-and-pony show, Trump criticized the World Health Organization (WHO) for a slow response to the coronavirus (note the hypocrisy here?) and then claimed …
“We’ll be looking into that very carefully. And we’re going to put a hold on money spent to the WHO. We’re going to put a very powerful hold on it and we’re going to see.”
I do wish he wouldn’t say “We”, for really, most of us are not part of, nor supportive of, those things he says we are doing. It gives the wrong impression, makes us all look just as ignorant as he is. Anyway …
16 minutes later he was asked if it was really such a good idea to freeze WHO funding in light of the current pandemic, and he said he didn’t say he was going to. Challenged, he replied …
“No I didn’t. I said we’re going to look at it.”
No, he didn’t … he plainly said, for all to hear, and captured on tape, that he is going to freeze funding. How in hell much stupidity can fit into one body? Well, it is a rather large, flabby body.
Trump isn’t the only idiot …
Ol’ Jerry Falwell Junior seems to be in competition with Trump for Idiot of the Year Award! According to an article in Politico …
“Jerry Falwell Jr., the president of Liberty University, said on Wednesday that arrest warrants had been issued for journalists from The New York Times and ProPublica after both outlets published articles critical of his decision to partially reopen Liberty’s campus amid the coronavirus pandemic.”
Say WHAT???
Since when is it a crime for a reporter to make a critical statement??? YO, Falwell! Ever hear of the 1st Amendment right to “Freedom of the Press”?
“Falwell and Liberty, one of the most high-profile evangelical schools in the country, have come under fire for welcoming students back to campus after the school’s spring break despite the pandemic, while nearly every other college in the country has ordered students off campus.”
Falwell is an asshole extraordinaire, and not surprisingly a big fan of Donald Trump, one of those idiots who claim “god sent Donald Trump” to fulfill some nefarious mission. And like most everything else happening today, it would be funny, but … the press is our last bastion against a full-blown dictatorship.
“Both articles by the Times and ProPublica quoted students or professors who suggested that social-distancing guidelines, designed to prevent the spread of the highly transmissible virus, were not being adequately practiced on campus.”
Falwell is risking the lives of people, and risking the very core of our freedoms, our rights. Somebody seriously needs to remove this bozo from society! Surely there is a prison cell and an orange jumpsuit with his name on it just waiting?
Need a little something lighter to finish up? How about Seth Meyers bringing you “the kind of story we need right now”?
