Atticus
Atticus's JournalGovernor DeWine---apparently a swell guy as far as some here are concerned---was just
on CNN and (this will be paraphrased) when asked if he was OK with Trump's answers about the shortages of masks and gloves and swabs, stated that one of his people had spoken with the White House by phone and he was assured that the president would "do all that is necessary".
Sadly, the Blitzer did not follow up with "And just HOW FUCKING LONG has the sonofabitch been assuring us that he WAS GOING TO "do all that is necessary"?
Carry on, Ohioans.
WHERE IN HELL ARE THE CORONAVIRUS TESTS? How many tests were actually PROCESSED
today? What are the numbers? Where are the positives located?
Until we get these answers, not a whole lot else matters.
REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!
JESUS H. CHRIST! GET THIS ASSHOLE TRUMP AND HEMORRHOID PENCE OFF
MY TV SCREEN! HE'S NOT "DEAR LEADER---YET!
As I listened to Trump refusing to accept any responsibility for the near total failure of
the US response to the coronavirus pandemic, I could not help flashing back to one of the late Freddie Prinze's lines on the old "Chico and the Man" series: "'Ees not my zhyob, mon!"
Freddie was brilliant.
Trump?-----I don't have the energy or desire to start a list of appropriate descriptors for "it".
It might explain my attitude about some things if I tell you that, in the
midst of this Trumpian shitstorm, one of the results of Tuesday's election locally was that my county voted 74% in favor of joining with all other Illinois counties EXCEPT Cook (that's Chicago, of course) to essentially secede from Illinois and form a new state!
Maybe some of you can "reason" with such knuckle-dragging bigots and racists. I cannot!
This will be a "get off my lawn" post.
No responsible adult can be anything but angry and disgusted about the self-centered CHILDREN spending spring break partying at the beaches. But, it is not especially remarkable that these CHILDREN are self-centered twits who are convinced that they are invincible. We all had that attitude at their age. Besides, these CHILDREN have an excuse for their "I'm the only one who really counts" attitude. They are simply modeling the putrid example of the Orange Oaf.
They have heard all the stupidity gushing from the White House and their bullshit alarms haven't had time to fully develop. Most of ours have been blaring at constant full volume for over three years.
So, yeah, the spring breakers piss me off, but they are forgivable. Trump?
NEVER!
People, EVERY discussion of how we can survive this pandemic as a nation needs to
begin with a reminder that the current occupant of the White House is a rotten "human being"---seriously.
Don't believe anything he says.
Assume he will break every promise he makes.
He DOES NOT CARE about us.
Any plan with even a chance of success will have to overcome the ignorant, arrogant and shortsighted actions of the Trump regime to date.
There is no such thing as a Trump official who is "here to help you". They exist to keep him in power---period.
MALIGNANT CANCERS NEED TO BE REMOVED.
It just may be a good thing that I am voluntarily sheltering in place. If I was out
and about and someone said in my presence some of the made-up crap they are posting on line about Joe Biden, I fear my veneer of civilized human being might not be strong enough to prevent an "up close and personal" confrontation.
So, why does Deborah Birx tie a different tablecloth around her neck for each of
these task force pressers?
Damn it! THINK, people!
Do not buy into the Trump regime's meme that we should "save the tests for those who need them". And, who "really needs them"? The people who fit Trump's "guidelines du jour".
The brutal "prioritizing" of who gets tested is ONLY necessary because Numnutz totally screwed the pooch when he should have been nailing down a supply of the widely used WHO tests. THAT is what they are trying to avoid confronting with this "prioritizing" of our pitifully small number of tests as the WHO emphasizes "Testing, testing, testing!" as the best way to beat this virus. South Korea---for cryin' out loud---tested virtually EVERYONE and isolated the positives immediately.
Dear Leader cannot be seen to have made a short-sighted, stupid and selfish mistake. THAT is why we trail world in testing. THAT is why more of us will die.
