New, Improved Travel Ban

Fattening The Curve
 

COVID Country
June 27, 2020 

 

Well, it looks like Hair Chrump may finally get himself a travel ban after all. Ironically, it will not exactly be the one he and Field Marshall Stephen Miller so carelessly designed during the early days of the Chrump anti-presidency to keep Muslims out of this country.

This new travel ban is being implemented by the European Union to keep out the COVID-happy Americans, until – to coin a phrase – “our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.” 

Oddly, our country’s representatives long ago figured out what the hell was going on. The House of Representatives tried to impeach what the hell was going on, but Chrump’s lackeys committed obstruction of justice. Now we are paying the price. Not only do we still have a Criminal-in-chief still at large, but instead of being the envy of the world, we are the pity of the world.

No sooner have we been allowed to leave lockdown and roam about the country freely, but the virus has resumed its work with a vengeance, and now it appears the people of the United States are being given a stay-at-home order by Europe. And who could blame them. The “man” in charge here is done everything he can to keep the situation as bad as possible, while most of the rest of the world has tamed the virus. New Zealand hasn't has a single case in more than three weeks. 

 

First Chrump ignored it, calling the pandemic nothing more than a hoax intended to ruin his presidency, then he just ignored it, then he told everyone else to ignore it, then he told us to drink disinfectant to fight the virus he insisted did not exist. Now he is ignoring it some more, while inviting thousands of his moronic minions to gather cheek by jowl in tight spaces, the better to infect each other.

The Spiro Agnew of the new millennium Mike Pence is now touting the “remarkable progress” in fighting the virus, telling reporters, “We slowed the spread, we flattened the curve, we saved lives.”

 

Behold the “flattened” curve

This, after two of the last three days saw the largest numbers of COVID cases since April,, and the number of lives we have not saved is pushing 125,000 Americans. So yes, Mike Pence, there are still some Americans you and your boss have not killed yet. But the blight is still young.

Chrump’s inconceivable stupidity has thrown the less than “remarkable progress” against COVID into reverse at 90 MPH. And Pence responded to the need for physical distancing and the wearing of masks, which have been proven beyond a doubt to be successful tactics for reducing the spread of the virus, with “even in a health crisis, the American people don’t forfeit our constitutional rights.” Yes, protecting yourself and others by taking reasonable and proven precautions is contrary to the Constitution. I guess according to Mike “Time for a quick reality check. Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn’t kill.” Pence, it’s time to start smoking in bars, restaurants, malls, bowling alleys and everywhere else again, and while we’re at it let’s get rid of those brutal restraints we call seatbelts, you know, in order to preserve our constitutional rights to be fucking morons.

 

Meanwhile, Chrump received a standing ovation from his mostly empty Tulsa arena of knuckle-draggers, for successfully transferring water from a very small glass into his very big maw with just hand. This, my fellow Americans, was clearly the (pun unavoidable) high water mark of the Chrump anti-presidency.
