Red Don's new euphemism for you die

Trump said yesterday, "Will some people be affected badly (by the virus)? Yes. But we have to get our country open."

Let's apply that "affected badly."

The Hindenburg was affected badly by a little fire.

The Challenger was affected badly by O ring issues.

The Titanic was affected badly by that chunk of ice.

People are affected badly by Stage 4 cancer.

That woman in the beginning of "Jaws" was affected badly by that shark.

But that was farce. Oh, right this is too, but actually happening.

"Donald Fucking Trump, serial rapist, Kremlin asset, and impeached president was affected badly last night while tweeting on his gold toilet. Funeral services will be limited to immediate family due to the coronavirus catastrophe, which he caused by criminal negligence and which has affected more than 71k Americans badly."

will suffer any ill effects from the pandemic. Hannity and his ilk will get a pass, too. Not only will these scumbags not be infected, neither will any of their family or friends. They will continue to live in their protective bubble.

Meanwhile, front line medical workers are getting infected and dying. Those who recover are voluntarily jumping back into the fray.

I would like to say that when Fat Donnie does croak -- either from the "plague" (his words) or choking on a Big Mac -- I refuse to piss on his grave. I hate to stand in lines.

Plenty of room for food trucks -- especially taco vendors.
Me? I'd park a food truck selling beer and asparagus at the entrance. Just so that we survivors can "pay our respects" at his grave marker appropriately.

reduce the number of new cases and deaths due to CV-19. Only horseshit we hear from him is that the America needs to get back to work. He will not be looked upon well in history.

She said "he had an unfortunate out come" Puzzled by the response I asked what did she mean. She then whispered in my ear "he died".. Turns out dying is not a PC corporate word...
Newspeak=unfortunate outcome..
