Trump’s bad weekend

First Putin tells him to stop making an ass out of himself on the daily, then his man-crush (apparently) croaks. Media outlets in Japan and Taiwan are reporting that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has died. This has not been confirmed by the North Korean government or by sources in South Korea. Earlier in […]

I will try to contain my anger today. I mean, Trump is one thing. But trying to write this the day after the Eagles had the worst draft night in the history of the NFL is quite something else. Not to mention, binge-watching Breaking Bad does little to curb my worst impulses. (Deep cleansing breaths). […]

Trump got medical advice from the leader of a crackpot Clorox cult

Rather than listen to experts, Trump typically just repeats nonsense he hears on Fox News. When floating the idea that people with CV19 can be treated with disinfectants, Trump expanded his circle of trusted sources to include the leader of a crackpot Clorox cult.   As The Guardian reports, Trump had actually received a message earlier […]

Some people are saying this would be effective against the coronavirus. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t. Lou Reed wrote the song in an attempt to capture the sensation of shooting up methamphetamine. The Velvets recorded the song in 1967 for release on their debut LP in 1968, when it was also released as a […]

Lysol To America: Don’t Inject Us, Or Ingest Us.  The President is insane and dangerously unhinged. Even by his standards, his performance yesterday was a cry to remove him from office via the 25th Amendment.  Taking his advice will literally kill you. It’s also clear that he’s out of answers and is just throwing shit […]

Injection of Disinfectant – The 1 Billionth “Last Straw”

Injection of Disinfectant – The 1 Billionth “Last Straw”

Last night, for a moment, I actually entertained the idea that this could be the last straw. I imagined that even the most ardent Trump supporters would say, “Okay, this guy is an idiot.” Then I realized that this straw is a weightless as all the millions of other straws that have been dumped on the camel’s back.

“So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just a very powerful light — and I think you said that hasn’t been checked because of the testing,” Trump said, speaking to Bryan during the briefing. “And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that, too.”

He added: “I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”

Breaking: 4.4 Million More Americans Filed Jobless Claims Last Week.  To quote Springsteen, some of these ‘jobs are going, boys, and they ain’t coming back’. Trump Fires Vaccine Czar.  Well, ‘relocates’. Why? Because he wouldn’t push Trump/Fox News’ miracle drug hype. Yes, the cheerleaders have gone silent on that one because the test results sucked.  […]

Not the Onion: Labradoodle breeder tapped to lead U.S. pandemic task force

Coons’ good buddy, Alex is a disaster.

Shortly after his televised comments [January 21 – “We developed a diagnostic test at the CDC, so we can confirm if somebody has this,” Azar said. “We will be spreading that diagnostic around the country so that we are able to do rapid testing on site.”] , Azar tapped a trusted aide with minimal public health experience to lead the agency’s day-to-day response to COVID-19. The aide, Brian Harrison, had joined the department after running a dog-breeding business for six years. Five sources say some officials in the White House derisively called him “the dog breeder.”

This shit is really fucking disgusting and disgusting shit heads like Coons facilitated it. Great fucking job, Coonsie.

I’ve caught several of them, but this one stands out — not just for Neil Finn’s choice of a song that can be interpreted as a tribute to all those people who have […]
