Is there a curfew for the covfefe now that the QAnon Conspiracy Theorists have to quit the U.S?
And we may ask ourselves …
Well, how did we get here?
- Letting the days go by, draining the swamp of water underground
- Days go by, cannibalistic Satan-worshippers impaled underground
- Into the black again, billionaires making trillions more …
- Once in a lifetime … The Donald is going underground
- (With apologies to the “Talking Heads”)
Since February 2020, President Donald Trump has repeated the lie at least 40 times that COVID-19 would “disappear,” “magically,” “like a dream.”
But as luck would have it, the American health numbers aside (which don’t back him up) the coronavirus disease did not “magically” go away.
In fact, there are 23,368,225 cases of COVID-19 in the United States as of today, and 389,599 Americans have tragically died.
Trump began lying about the “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus two” in February 2020. Fox News viewers heard expert commentators who intelligently said that there had been 18 COVIDs — before COVID-19 — and that was how the deadly contagious disease got its name.
Well, not exactly. Not so much, in fact.
Truth be told, the Fox News commentators — no matter how expert -— were wrong. It’s a fact, Jack.
The “CO” in COVID-19 stands for “coronavirus;” the “VI” as in “Virgin Islands,” stands for “virus;” and the big “D” doesn’t stand so much stand for “D-fence” as in football — as it does for “disease.”
The 19 doesn’t mean that there were 18 COVIDs before it. It signifies the year scientists first discovered it — which was (December) 2019.
But if you speak to someone in the Donald Trump administration, they might just tell you a different story. Imagine dragons that.
In the beginning, conservative Republicans tried to tell us, including the President himself, that the coronavirus disease was no worse — and would kill no more people — than the common flu.
Fact is, COVID-19 in 2020 killed five times as many Americans as the seasonal flu normally does in one year — and coronavirus took the first two months of 2020 basically off — (maybe on a wonderful Caribbean vacation)?
The ironic thing is that Trump knew exactly that. In the book “Rage” the president told author Bob Woodward on February 7, 2020 that coronavirus could be deadlier than the flu — “maybe five times more deadly.” Which is exactly the way it worked out last year.
The propaganda that coronavirus was benign began in an episode of the podcast “The NutriMedical Report” on March 10, 2020. NMR Commentator Josh Bernstein claimed that the spread of COVID-19 in the United States was the result of a conspiracy between the Blue Liberal Democratic Party and the Red Communist Chinese government.
“I believe that because Russia didn’t work and Ukraine didn’t work and impeachment didn’t work, they are so hell-bent on destroying this country (and) this president to gain back power that they probably worked with the Chinese government and they devised this plan,” Bernstein so eloquently put it.
Wow! That’s a lot of probably’s, divisions and hell bents! Add a good conspiracy theory in there somewheres and you got me! Ah, and there you have it. Bernstein did in fact mention the keyword for conspiracy theorists, which is: “conspiracy.” He’s got me there. I have to admit it.
Smart guy, apparently. This Bernstein character. Amazing … just like the president! And devoted to the Commander In Chief, our fearless leader, Above All Others. These right-wing nut jobs might just seem to have all the answers! I need to hear more!
Can you possibly throw in a cabal of Satan-worshipping cannibalistic pedophiles who are running a child sex-trafficking ring?
Check. Call back later @ QAnon? OK, will do! Thank you for your time and consideration.
I see that Vice President Mike Pence had the QAnon patch logo removed by Twitter from a tweet he sent after visiting with a Florida SWAT team member on November 30, 2018. Through the magic of digital technology — and the power of being the No. 2 leader of the Free World — (in a Number One business) — Mike Pence was able to get the “Q” put back in place on the law enforcement officer’s uniform on the VP’s social media post.
This sounds like a rich, imaginative fantasy-world not unlike Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Please tell me more!
Well, President Donald John Trump, in this corner, hailing from Queens, New York City, is secretly fighting Satan-worshipping cannibalistic pedophiles who are running a child sex-trafficking organization. Do tell.
President of the United States of America by day — and crime-fighting, super duper tweeter at night? No wonder Mike Pence believes so devoutly in this Donald John Trump — Pence has been born-again in the light of Trump! Mighty Mike puts The Donald before all others — man or God! Pence is subservient to no man or God — only the god-like Trump! I want to hear more, Please!
Well, turns out. Donald John Trump is not only the leader of the free world. He might also probably be able to come up with life-saving cure-all type remedies to treat Americans plagued with the dreaded coronavirus disease. Wow! A medical doctor and a president! Imagine dragons that! Glory be! Maybe they should call him “Gonzo Dr. Donald John Trump.” Please tell me more!
As a licensed gonzo medical doctor, Dr. Donald John Trump is authorized by the powers vested in the FDA (with his being President of these here United States of America) to dispense with — and dispose of false cures for any nature of sorts of cancer, sickness and all curable and incurable diseases of man and animal and gods — including COVID-19! Wow! Tell me more! I like being healthy!
“I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute,” Gonzo Dr. Donald John Trump said on April 23, 2020. “And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs.”
[EDITOR’S NOTE: Even children knew this was wrong — and laughed out loud when they first heard it. Not only does a human being consuming or injecting disinfectant risk poisoning and/or death — it’s not even likely to be effective in curing coronavirus.]
Well, OK. If you say so. But who needs editors anyway! When you have Gonzo Dr. Donald John Trump leading the charge. What a guy! What else did this great doctor-president-infallible leader have to say about curing COVID-19?
“I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way,” Trump explained. “And I think you said you’re going to test that too… So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute – that’s pretty powerful.”
Didn’t Doctor Trump also say that exposing patients to “ultraviolet or very powerful light” would kill the coronavirus faster than a lack of toilet paper at a Mexican food restaurant kills business?
[EDITOR’S NOTE: There is some evidence that, in general, viruses on surfaces die more quickly when exposed directly to sunlight. But we don’t know how much or how long they have to be exposed for UV light to have an effect. And again, this is only on infected objects and surfaces — not about what happens once the virus is inside your body.]
————————————————————————————————————–
In Bob Woodward’s best-selling book “Rage,” one of the most salient points the legendary journalist made after two years of interviews with President Donald Trump was: “He wasn’t sure if Trump could distinguish fiction from reality.”
Certainly, after the events of January 6, 2021, no one would dispute that fact. When a rebel-yell yodeling Donald Trump summoned his blood red brownshirts into action and commanded them to storm the Capitol and “fight to take back the presidency.”
But we should have seen this coming. In March of 2016, when Trump first announced he would be running for President. He would tell the crowds gathered that he had seen a poll and that he was the Number One choice of Republicans for President. At the time, it wasn’t true. But the more Trump repeated the lie, it started to gain traction and soon The Donald was able to point to a legitimate poll, that had him as No. 1. It is a very Germanic thing he did, Nietzsche called it “The Will To Power.” Trump literally willed himself to power; but it started with a lie. A lie that soon became the truth. The Trump name is a German name. There is nothing defective about the German people (Hitler was an Austrian, Trump might say). In fact, when you look at the largest ethnic group in America, it is the German-American, who make up roughly 42 percent of the white European ancestry in the United States. The Irish people are second, being 28 percent of the population. After that, it is basically a European free-for-all. So when a German ancestry man wills himself to be president of the United States — it has a built-in following. And although it is an historical fact that Hitler never actually attacked the United States, (Japan did) but it is unlikely that he knew how many of his own Austro-Hungarian people he would end up fighting in World War II.
And the bulk of the fighting against the Nazis on the ground was done by Russia. With an impressive air campaign waged by Great Britain. The United States participated in D-Day but due to Roosevelt’s choice, we entered the party late, but not too late as to not make a significant contribution to the Allied campaign against the Nazis in Germany itself. So lying to begin a campaign did what it was supposed to do — get Donald Trump elected President of the United States. The second time around, there wasn’t the same wellspring of support for Donald Trump. People came out in record numbers — (as much as I like Joe Biden and that he loves to vacation in St. Croix) — most people voting for Biden were voting against Trump. It wasn’t so much that “Sleepy” Joe Biden beat President Donald Trump (as The Donald so fondly dubbed Joseph R. Biden, Jr.) — but rather, a majority of Americans rejected Donald Trump. Trump did not behave presidential after he was elected president in November 2016, there are many examples of this. Trump’s bad behavior continued once he was a sitting president — and his base of mostly uneducated miscreants — ate it up. But the majority of the American public did not like it, did not appreciate it — and when it came time to vote in November 2020 — they told Donald Trump what they thought of his hands-off handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his many other faults and foibles. I prayed for him to lose. but he won. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are President and Vice President of the United States.
Everyone chooses to forget that when Donald Trump was campaigning against Lindsey Graham, he gave out the good senator’s cell phone number to the whole United States. The good natured South Carolinian had to go out a pay for a new cell phone number, because of Trump’s high school mentality prank. Did Lindsay hold it against Trump? How could he? Not and be re-elected in Charlston. And who could forget Cuban-American, another Cuban American senator like Canadian Texan Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio. Who shook hands with Trump during the president campaign five years ago and said that Trump had “small hands.” The American Medical Association says that a male human’s index finger size is a good indicator of penis size. Marco Rubio basically said during the campaign that Donald Trump had a small dick. (It’s a Caribbean gossip thing. Like in Dominican-American author Junot Diaz’s brilliant novel “The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao.”) Now Rubio is one of Trump’s biggest defenders … because he too, wants to be re-elected in Florida and wants to run for President again (maybe with a small dick as well. Americans will elect a president with a penis the size of a squat mushroom, as Stormy Daniels alleges, but they won’t elect a president who is vertically challenged … just ask President Michael Dukakis). Ted Cruz (who is tall like No. 45) was too smart (he went to Harvard) to attack Donald Trump on the campaign trail … and he finished second to Trump in the running for President of the United States for the Republicans. But Trump didn’t hesitate to attack Cruz. He mentioned that Cruz was not born in America and might not be a bona fide United States citizen (Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother, he claims). Similarly, another person Trump attacked (even though he wasn’t running) was the patron saint of Arizona, John McCain, who was also not born in America (he was born in the Panama Canal zone to an American Navy Admiral). But Trump, in his wisdom, attacked President Barack Obama, even before Trump was a candidate for president. He had a legion of loyal followers built-in based on that lie, too (President Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii). Last time I checked, Hawaii was America’s 50th United State … and it is the only state in the union that is not majority white (It is majority Asian-American). That is another lie that Donald Trump will not stop repeating, no matter how many times it is proven to be wrong.
One little known fact is, America might have Barack Obama to blame for Trump’s presidency. Because it was at a White House correspondent’s dinner-luncheon, that Donald Trump was in the crowd, and somehow the subject came up as to who would be qualified to be president of the United States. Obama looked Trump squarely in the eye and told him: “You? I can assure you, you will never be President of the United States.” It might have seemed that way to Obama in 2014 or 2015, but by 2016 that was a horse of a different color. I don’t think any human being has ever cowed Donald Trump more, or made him, squirm, than President Barack Obama did to Donald Trump on that fateful day. And if you know Donald Trump, he doesn’t cotton that well to people telling him what he can and cannot achieve. Certainly Trump proved Obama wrong on that one … but The Donald could not sustain his fantasy presidency any longer than four years. So he is a human being, who at his core is unscrupulous, lying, deceitful, cunning, avaricious, egomaniacal, psychotic, sociopathic, bipolar — all the things you would look for in an American President. So much for George Washington chopping down the cherry true. No real character here, in that Trump doesn’t have any. Although he is one. When Trump announced he would run for president in march 2016, the New York tabloid press portrayed him — even in visual images — as a clown. Once he got closer to the Republican nomination in 2016, Rupert Murdoch saw to it that The Donald got more favorable coverage in the New York Post — more befitting a President. But now, after January 6, 2020 one has to wonder if the New York press wasn’t on to something there about Trump being a clown. What goes around comes around. One of Trump’s favorite expressions is: “It is what it is.”Well, if you can spell socks, S-O-C-K-S, the name of former President Bill Clinton’s White House cat, you can say it in Spanish: “es o ce que es.” It is what it is, my friend.
Trump certainly showed how small his hands were on January 6. He shamed the country, he shamed our democracy — and if he looks down at little Donald when he urinates today — he should be ashamed of his big man self.But it took a supremely competent candidate, someone who has 36 years experience in the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate, as Sen. Lindsey Graham rightly pointed out on the floor of the Senate on January 6, to be the strawberry blond beast Trump. Biden played David to Trump’s Goliath … and for those Americans who read the Bible, we all know how that one worked out for someone who seemed unbeatable — at least on paper. That’s why you hold the elections. And that’s why you play the game. People can say Ohio State University has the greatest football team in America. That they are unbeatable. But Alabama fans are going to beg to differ — and the Tide fans would be right to complain. “I prayed for him to lose. but he won. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are president and vice president of the United States. That is the position Trump found himself in on November 9, 2020. He lost the national championship game, everyone saw it on TV. But as my conservative friends said when they saw a political cartoon of former Governor Kenneth E. Mapp counseling Trump about his election loss of a Piña colada at the beach — Trump is going to fight it in the courts.
If people heard that Ohio State was going to fight their championship loss, getting shellacked in the national championship game on January 11, 2021 — would everyone have told Head Football Coach Ryan Day to go ahead and take his case to the Supreme Court. If Trump’s case got laughed out of that court, imagine what would happen if somebody tried to argue that their lopsided loss (by almost double) was actually a win over Alabama?
A lot of people in Alabama want to believe that Trump won the election that he actually lost by a wide margin. Would they want the same practice applied to football games. If you think about it, it is ludicrous.
And that’s why secessionists like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley are so wrong they are smart enough not to be intellectually dishonest — yet they are. Good thing Hallmark Cards is removing sponsorship\of Hawley and the Kansas senator has lost his book deal with Simon and Schuster as well. Good thing. Hit them in their pocketbooks. If you look at Ted Cruz lately, it doesn’t look like he’s missed too many meals. In fact, it looks like he swallowed a werewolf whole. Can I suggest Atkins, Terrible Teddy?
Probably even he, evil genius that he is, couldn’t have envisioned just how spirited his mob of under-educated, gun-toting, conspiracy-swilling followers, some of them active-duty military and law enforcement, (as the Charlottesville Virginia White Supremacists Night Rally in August 2017 proved) would take to the job.)
Now the lot of them are “fired.” Trump’s turn to be fired is coming today, January 20, 2021. And in true spoil sport fashion, stick-in-the-mud Trump has picked up all his marbles to go play on his own in a huff. (Some might say a few marbles were spilled years before his ignominious exit from the presidency.
In the Washington putsch, if The Donald’s coup had gone off the way he planned it, he might have been able to be “President For Life” in America, with a little help from his corrupt friends in U.S. law enforcement and the sympathetic (emphasis on “pathetic”) military.
But alas, there is an accounting every four years that one is President of the United States of America, it’s called an election. A free and fair election, unlike the elections in Russia where I think his buddy Vladimir Putin is batting 1.000 — no losses — but are all the votes counted in Moscow? Are the people there really allowed to vote for the opposition? And then once they do, who counts the ballots?
If someone is a really good President, say like Ronald Reagan, the American people not only give you a second term in office, they even decide to elect you vice president for years later, as in George H.W. Bush. But if you are not a good president, and you go into office like a wrecking ball, you might get a lot accomplished, like a lower tax rate for billionaires and a vaccine for a dreaded pandemic that no one has been able to put in their arms.
Trump promised that 20 million Americans would receive the COVID-19 vaccine by December 31, 2020. In actuality, only about 3.8 million U.S. citizens received the coronavirus vaccine before 2021 started. That means that Donald achieve about 20 percent of his stated pandemic cure goal.
In the election, he did much better, garnering 38 percent of the vote — roughly double of what he achieved of his COVID-19 prevention goal. And if you’re Ted Cruz, with a big brain, and Donald Trump, with a slightly smaller brain … the good U.S. (non-secessionist) Senator from Texas by way of Cuba and Canada … can surely spin this, too, into a victory? Well, not so fast. That’s the problem with prevarications. Eventually somebody finds out it’s not true. In Russia, when people in Moscow would see pictures of Americans lining the streets on Thanksgiving Day, the Soviet elite would tell their bubbled, sheltered masses that most Americans are poor and starving, and are begging for a free turkey on the major cities of the United States, because that is the day when free game birds are doled out. It made sense to some Russians, because no other information was available in the 1980’s, pre-Internet. It was also previously illegal for Soviet citizens to have pictures of the American skyline in New York City, because seeing that, it would be hard for Russian citizens to believe that the false Soviet argument that the United States was a completely backward country. So the country Donald Trump has the most respect for, maybe even more than for America itself, Russia, has a long history of deceiving its people. What the Soviet or Russian government says, goes. Not so much in America, though. Maybe in Amerika, the TV show, but not the beautiful place that everyone who lives there is lucky to call home. Donald Trump can say it was Antifa who stormed the Capitol building on January 6. And if he were in Russia, that argument might soon find firm footing. But in the United States, where even small children have $800 iPhones to play with from birth … it is a little harder argument to make. For one thing, his damn supporters are too gleeful to get on the same page with the President. They are busy livestreaming their putsch participation to the longing to usurp thugs back home, posting their videos on gaming channels to try to avoid law enforcement scrutiny … and some just stupid enough to post their exploits to Facebook and Twitter (because not everyone has a Gameboy in sunny West Virginia). Queens, New Yorker Donald Trump spoke to something in his followers. The Donald holds sway over his followers much the same way a homeless, failed fine artist from Austria once did in the 1930’s and 1940’s.Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, born in Austria, the birthplace of Adolf Hitler, said January 6, 2021 reminded his of Kristallnacht, the night of breaking glass in Germany. Arnold, a Republican, liked Trump’s actions on that fateful Wednesday to the time when Hitler’s goons were unleashed on the unsuspecting masses, and they went out to crack Communist’s heads, but in that day most Communists were Jews. So it was really the beginning of ethnic cleansing in Nazi Germany. If the Terminator can say that Trump’s actions resembled Hitler’s on January 6, and Mr. Schwarzenegger is a Republican — a former chief executive of one of the biggest states in America — who am I to say he is wrong?If Donald Trump had wanted a second term, he should have been smart enough to hold back some of his baser, Nazi instincts … until at least his second term. That way, he could unleash the blond beast in year five and he would have only had the good and right Nancy Pelosi of California and Chuck Schumer of New York to stop him. But Trump did not anticipate the strength of the coronavirus disease. He said that COVID-19 would “disappear, like a dream.” Now it is Donald Trump that Americans want to disappear, overnight, like a bad nightmare. Adolf Hitler planned on a 1,000-year Reich for his Nazi henchmen and goons … it appears Donald Trump could not even plan for a 4-year Reich … as he is about to be removed from office forcibly either by the 25th Amendment, or impeachment (his second one, the only American president to have two impeachments). There have only been two impeachments in the 240-year history of America, for a total of four, and Donald Trump himself accounts for two of them. If you saw how Trump and his media professionals handled the 2020 campaign, they were constantly asking: “Who do you like better, Donald Trump or Joe Biden?” And: “Who do you like better, Barack Obama or Donald Trump? Well, I think even Texan Ted Cruz knows the answer to that one. If you ask a bunch of registered Republicans, how am I doing? They are not likely to say, not good. Not because they were lying. They loved Trump and his ilk because of their many, many cunning, conspiratorial, covfefe ways.
On January 20, 2021, President Donald Trump will magically disappear — not so much like a dream — I would put it … more like a nightmare.
But it will be safe again. And the hard work and heavy lifting can begin again with real professionals in government under Joe Biden — not amateurs — doesn’t seem so sleepy to me — I’d be willing to wake up to that.
The question remains, for the meddling, mediocre, manipulative G.O.P. Brownshirts, who’s on deck for 2024?
No matter who Mitt Romney relative Ronna McDaniel drafts, we all stand to get a little muddy in the unavoidable foamy, frothy fray that is to come.
Say it don’t spray it G.O.P.
