I can’t breathe.This
has nothing to do with my unresolved January bout with pneumonia.At this particular moment it has little to do
with the more than 100,000 dead Americans resulting in large part from the
actions of Donald Chrump.(It remains
unproven that Chrump knew that the coronavirus he all-but-singlehandedly
unleashed on the American public would disproportionately impact
people of color, and by impact I mean kill, but that would only be the
latest in a lifetime of racially motivated transgressions if true.)
A Minneapolis policeman calmly murders a black man while several other officers look on…
or maybe worse
At this particular moment, I can’t breathe as I struggle
under the weight of yet another murder of another obviously underserving black
man at the hands of police.The latest
victim of American White Justice is George Floyd, accused of passing a phony
$20 bill and then brutally murdered in broad daylight while pleading repeatedly
with his killer, pictured above, that he was in pain and could not
breathe.Mr. Floyd was unarmed,
face-down on the ground, handcuffed and had a police officer kneeling on his
neck for nearly 10 minutes, during which time he told the officer a dozen times
that he could not breathe.Soon after
that, George Floyd died.
Donald Chrump did not create
racism in America,
he just keeps telling everyone that it is acceptable*
Donald
Chrump will not acknowledge the horrible milestone – the deaths of 100,000
Americans on his “watch.”A tweet in his
name written by someone else does not count.Donald Chrump will not acknowledge the despicable death of one more
black man, killed by police for being black in America.Chrump called Colin Kaepernick a “son of a
bitch” for taking a knee on a football field to protest repeated murders of
black men by police.America’s
racist-in-chief says nothing when a white cop puts a knee on the neck of a
black man for no reason.There is a
special place in hell for Donald Chrump, no matter how long it may take for him
to arrive.There is a special place in
hell for police who murder black men in broad daylight.
* As always, we apologize for posting
such graphic and disturbing images; we hope no one will be emotionally scarred
or made physically ill for having seen this one.
This has been your Paying Attention Fraught For The Day.
I could not in good conscience keep the money obtained by
cashing a check bearing the name of Donald Chrump, even after crossing that name
out.I know that in fact it was not his
money to dispense.I know too that the
appearance of Chrump’s name on the check was nothing more than what he always
does – put his name on something he either had no hand in actually creating.To be fair, Chrump has also put his name on things
that would later either quickly disappear from the world due to their utter worthlessness
or because the courts shut them down for fraudulent practices.
I decided I did not want to use that money for its intended
purpose – shoring up the Obama-economy-for-which-Chrump-has-taken-credit in
order to rescue President Death’s floundering administration in time for the November
election.I realize I am being – to paraphrase
Dear Leader – amoral toward the moral by not wanting anything to get better
right now if it means saving Chrump’s fatty-fat-fatty bacon in November.He made America’s place in this pandemic much
worse than it needed to be, and we cannot risk any appearance of him saving the
day.
Chrump has made it crystal clear that, whatever the reason
he decided to ignore countless warnings from all quarters, and despite being
personally responsible for tens of thousands of deaths, he is more (i.e., only)
concerned about how Wall Street is doing.He is openly willing to lose however many of us it takes to keep the
economy good enough to get him re-elected, in which case many of us will do
whatever it takes to catch the coronavirus in hopes of being put out of our
misery.
Philanthro-pissed
Anyway, in order to ensure that my relief check did not
provide any relief to Chrump, I donated that money to Philabundance to help
them feed Philadelphians crushed, but not yet killed by Chrump’s interminable efforts
to protect the coronavirus from all the conniving, murderous doctors and
scientists determined to do it harm, not to mention all the bad Americans
running around wearing masks to hide their identities from the innocent,
well-meaning virus.
I. Mangrey redistributing. Attempting to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
Donald Chrump continues his relentless effort to create
campaign ads for Joe Biden.Ignoring the
pandemic.Suggesting it would be a good
idea to introduce disinfectant into the body to kill the virus he insisted for
months was nothing but a hoax designed to destroy the presidency Chrump himself
had single-handedly strangled nearly to death all on his own.Repeatedly demonstrating his utter disdain
for everyone around him by refusing to wear a mask.Firing any and every inspector general who
might dare to expose any of the almost endless criminal acts committed by
Chrump and his administration.Blurting out
the “fact” that he had been taking hydroxychloroquine for a week or so, despite
all the science indicating the drug not only had no effect on the coronavirus,
but in fact resulted in an increased likelihood of death, “[b]ecause I think it’s
good. I’ve heard a lot of good stories” from people calling him to tell him how
great hydroxychloroquine is. Threatening
to kill the United States Postal Service in order to interfere with mail-in
voting he fears will allow too many people to vote, saying that voting is an
honor, though most elementary school students know voting is in fact a right
and a cornerstone of a democracy – something else Chrump knows nothing about.Preparing to yank 40,000 national guard off their
deployment one day before they are eligible for benefits.Calling 100,000 dead Americans a “badge of
honor” and all but dancing on the graves of our dead by playing golf as he
propels us toward that horrendous milestone on the occasion of Memorial Day weekend.
And those are just the recent ones that
immediately come to mind.
As a result of having to pretend to manage a response to the
deadliest pandemic in one hundred years, Chrump has taken to calling himself a “wartime
president.”That may be true.If it is, then he seems to be at war against people
of color, poor people and the elderly – and he is most definitely winning that
war.It would appear that Chrump is
counting on killing off more of those outside his cult than in it.That may require him to finally start
shooting people on Fifth Avenue…or outside polling places in November.
A Positively Negative Attitude
Chrump also seems unwilling to be outdone by America’s king of
gaffs Joe Biden.There is no question
that Biden is a reliable source of saying stupid shit, but there is simply no justification
for taking Biden to task on this score considering the competition.Refusing to relinquish any ground to his adversary,
Chrump let loose this incredible display of unrivaled idiocy describing his
current COVID-19 status: “I tested very positively in another sense.I tested positively toward negative,
right?So, no I tested perfectly this
morning.Meaning I tested negative.But that’s a way of saying it – positively
toward the negative.”No you fucking
moron, that’s not a way of saying it.Absolutely
no one with even half a brain has ever said it that way. That is yours and yours
alone, because you, sir – and I use that term strictly for literary purposes –
are a brainless fuckwit.But there you
have it folks, you can literally hear what passes for Chrump’s very good brain
melting away in real time.
I could shoot myself in the
head and not lose any votes.
But
please, by all means, please keep up the good work.Keep vomiting out those best words.Everyone knows that it isn’t the order that
matters, it’s just the words.You are
proving this smartly toward the stupid.Believe
me, that’s a way of saying it.
Dead Men Tell No
Tales, Dumb Men On The Other Hand…
May 21, 2020
In case you tuned in late, Donald Chrump, possibly due to
brain damage resulting from drinking disinfectant, said that “We have more
cases than anybody in the world.But
why?Because we do more testing.When you test, you have a case.When you test, you find something is wrong
with people.If we didn’t do any
testing, we would have very few cases.They don’t want to write that.It’s common sense.So we test
much more many, many times.”Someone
must have some how convinced him that this was one of the most imbecilic things
anyone has said since some brainless lunatic suggested that people ingest
disinfectant to kill the virus.Chrump’s
super-genius attempt to clean up his latest verbal version of taking a dump on
the desk in the Oval Office on live television, was claiming that the still
rapidly increasing number of dead Americans was actually a “badge of honor”
because it meant that we were doing lots of testing.To be fair, it is unlikely Chrump has any
idea what the word “honor” means.Or
maybe he was just being sarcastic.
It has not been proven that
Chrump shits on his desk, but
based on what we do know, this cannot be ruled out
To put Chrump’s latest losing battle with his arch enemies
thought and language in context, Donald Chrump is a heartless autocrat and a
galaxy-class idiot who clearly wants to have the best number of dead Americans
on his soon-to-be-useless resume.And for
more context here’s more of the quote, “By the way, you know when you say that
we lead in cases, that's because we have more testing than anybody else.*So when we have a lot of cases, I don't look
at that as a bad thing, I look at that as, in a certain respect, as being a
good thing because it means our testing is much better.So I view it as a badge of honor. Really,
it's a badge of honor.”That’s right ladies
and gentlemen, President Death sees the almost 100,000 dead Americans – some 60
percent of whom can arguably be traced directly to Chrump’s months-long
mishandling of the pandemic according to some research.These dead people, as we all know, are
nothing more than numbers to Chrump, although one fully expects he will accuse
all of the people he killed of voting for Joe Biden in November.
Hmmm, wonder what made me think of this song
Death Takes A Holiday…To Break The Law
or Further Adventures Of The Best People
Once Chrump pretended to be over his psycho-racist obsession
with Barack Obama’s birth certificate, he shifted stripped gears with his psycho-misogynist
(mostly psycho) obsession with Hillary Clinton’s mythical emails while she was secretary
of state – an obsession he wallows in to this day. To be sure, even if there was any actual
substance to the accusations against Clinton, her behavior falls squarely in
the stupid camp rather than the felony camp.What Chrump will not wallow in for one moment is the less mythical
misuse of government employees by his own secretary of state.Mike Pompeo was apparently under investigation
for having aides do his personal errands.Pompeo also stands accused of hosting clearly political state dinners to
enhance his own political future by throwing lavish soirees for celebrities and
political operatives to pad his rolodex for a potential senate run.All of this is of course totally and
pathetically illegal and makes Pompeo the Spiro Agnew of secretaries of state.Hopefully with similar results as regards his
political future.
*One of Der
Furor’s many oft repeated lies.We are
number 16globally in
terms of tests per 1,000 people.
Killing Us Softly…Well, Not So Much Softly As Slowly
May 15, 2020
Some people insist that Donald Chrump is very good at
selling himself and at staying one step ahead of the sheriff.I tended to believe otherwise, but I might be
wrong.He might have been right about
not losing a single vote after shooting someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue,
but it remains possible – at least for the time being, unless and until the
Supreme Court decides differently – that he would be charged with murder.
However, now that Chrump is literally killing people every
day with his ingenious pandemic two-step, it looks as though he will not only not
keep every single vote (with the exception of the inevitable collateral damage
– those of his followers who end up dead thanks to Chrump’s handiwork), but as
has all too often been the case, he will avoid the consequences.That is, unless America becomes unstupid
enough to avoid giving him another four years to finish off the land of the
free, the home of the brave, and for now at least the electorate of the
incredibly ignorant.Chrump continues to
impress over 40 percent of Americans that he is handling the pandemic
well.Clearly, both Chrump and his good
friend the coronavirus have caused considerable brain damage across this great
land of ours.
Find the idiot in this picture
Chrump’s latest psychotically ignorant moment
saw him telling some of the only people who still have jobs – a group of
assembly line workers in an Allentown, PA plant where masks are manufactured
(while, of course, not wearing a mask himself) – “We have more cases than anybody in the world.But why?Because we do more testing.When
you test, you have a case.When you
test, you find something is wrong with people.If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases.They don’t want to write that.It’s common sense.So we test much more many, many times.”Common sense, right?Chrump has no concept of common, or
sense.He proves this every time he
attempts to have a thought.
Chrump’s chief apologist/enabler Moscow Mitch McConnell had
to apologize for apologizing for Chrump’s constant blaming of Barack Obama, “I
was wrong. They [the Obama
administration] did leave behind a plan, so I clearly made a mistake in that
regard. As to whether or not the plan was followed, or who’s the critic and all
the rest, I don’t have any observation about that because I don’t know enough
about the details.”Really.He doesn’t know enough about the
details.Really.Well, I know enough about the details to say unequivocally
with all due respect, “Fuck you Moscow Mitch, you lying sack of shit.”
In the 1980s a number of states implemented laws making it a
crime to knowingly expose someone to HIV.That is, if you tested positive for the virus and say, engaged in
unprotected sex with someone without telling them of your health status, you
could be charged with a felony and if found guilty, go to jail.
In the year of our pain 2020, we have top government officials
knowingly exposing people to another deadly virus in broad daylight.These individuals are shamelessly
jeopardizing the lives of others.Vice
President Death Mike Pence, for example, who has had extensive exposure to
numerous people who have tested positive for COVID-19, including his personal
press secretary, waltzed right up to a nursing home, unloaded boxes from a
truck for the cameras.Pence did this with
ungloved hands, and unmasked face.He
then placed the photo-op boxes at the entrance of the facility, thereby potentially
exposing residents and staff to the virus that he may or may not be carrying
right now.It is not known, but is
likely that Pence knew he had been in close contact with his COVID-19-positive
press secretary at the time.One would
be wise to assume the worst.
It is well accepted that asymptomatic people are one of the
most common ways this virus spreads.Pence
did not need to engage in unprotected sex with anyone in order to expose them
to COVID-19.Nonetheless he was
potentially fucking these people out of pure arrogance and malice.It seems that Chrump and Pence and their
fellow grovellers would rather err on the side of stupid than on the side of
caution.Especially when it comes to the
lives of American people making under six figures.Your tax dollars at work ladies and
gentlemen.
Yesterday the Supreme(ly partisan and pro-corporate,
anti-democracy) Court heard oral arguments regarding the release of Donald
Chrump’s tax returns and bank records, and generally whether or not the United
States is a moronarchy.Chrump’s right,
in fact any president’s right to ignore congressional subpoenas, or to be
investigated for committing any crime – including, but not limited to, shooting
someone in broad daylight (think of it as a more personalized version of what
he’s been doing with the coronavirus) – has been denied by countless courts
across the land for several years now.
Not-so-useful idiot Clarence Thomas agonized over the idea
that it might happen that a president of the United States has committed so
many potentially criminal acts that addressing all of them in the courts could
interfere with said president’s ability to perform his constitutional
duties.Such a president, it would seem,
would clearly have determined that his job, rather than protecting and defending
the Constitution of the United States, was instead to abuse the Constitution
and do whatever the fuck he (or theoretically she) wanted.One would think that any president who was
that busy doing things that the courts deemed worthy of investigating, might be
better off not being president of the United States any longer.According to Uncle Thomas, one would be sadly
mistaken and should be protected against the people’s justice being brought to
bear. Our current president wouldn't know a constitutional duty if it grabbed him by the pussy.
After losing every single court battle everywhere, Chrump
finally gets to have his day in Supreme Court, which may already be politicized
beyond repair for a few decades. Chrump
and his army of tax-protecting lawyers claim that as president he completely
immune from any sort of scrutiny by anyone for any reason.How the highest court in the land has even
taken this case is beyond me.I’m not a
lawyer, but ask anyone – I have a very good brain and I probably know more
about law and the Constitution than, I would say, anyone has ever known.But, what do I know?We can only hope he is not completely immune
from absolutely everything, if you catch my virus…I mean drift.
Bruce Cockburn – Call it Democracy
I. Mangrey reporting with fingers crossed. Free your mind and your ass will follow.
Dr. Rick Bright is the former director of the Biomedical
Advanced Research and Development Authority.Bright is a PhD immunologist who lead the authority from 2016 to 2020,
was recently fired for blowing the whistle on Chrump’s insane mishandling of
the COVID-19 pandemic from day one and continuing unabated to this day.Bright’s whistleblower complaint revealed
that Michael Bowen, head of a Ft. Worth-based company – the only major domestic
company making masks – wrote to Health and Human Services on January 23, two
days after the U.S. confirmed its first case of Covid-19.Bowen was already busy making masks for countries
all over the world because of fears they might be desperately needed and wanted
to also supply his home country. HHS essentially
told Bowen to take a hike.Bowen then wrote
to Bright saying, “U.S. mask supply is at imminent risk. Rick, I think we’re in
deep shit.”
I guess Chrump thought he could get away with a few tens of
thousands of deaths - just like he could shoot somebody and not lose any
votes.We should be inundated with
reports about how America’s horrific performance during this pandemic would
have been infinitely less deadly but for the alternative leadership of Donald “Let-The-Hoax-Virus-Wash-Over-Us-And-Drink-Some-Disinfectant”
Chrump.It seems though that he did not
count on all those needless deaths he is personally responsible for causing an
economic meltdown, oh well, win some lose some.If this performance is not enough to make Chrump – who is inarguably the
worst president in American history – a one-term president, many Americans will
be looking to the coronavirus for help.
The Most Ignorant Man in The
World:
He doesn’t always drink beer, but he’s always an idiot
Speaking of the coronavirus, the latest hot spot, where all
the best virus catchers are hanging out, is right there in the good old West
Wing.It appears the Chrump team has not
been drinking enough disinfectant.First
Chrump’s valet tested positive, then Pence’s press secretary – who just happens
to be the very lucky and recently conscripted bride of Frankenstein…I mean
Stephen Miller, Chrump’s ghoulish top advisor – who our sources tell us is part
bat.
Next, we heard that the Secret Service detail surrounding
President Death had 11 members test positive.The most recent member of the White House hot spot is Ivanka’s personal assistant.Who wants to bet that there is no mask wearing
and no social distancing allowed in the White House?Needless to say, you have the Orange Gas
Cloud spewing spit and unchewed food everywhere as he yells at everyone,
blaming them for his insane, incompetent bullshit. And who wants to bet that the coronavirus’
best friend must constantly be reminded that testing positive is not a good
thing?
In any event, now everyone around Chrump will be
tested daily.They should not be tested
every day until all Americans who need a test can get a test.Something President Death said was true over
two months ago.It was not true then –
not by a long shot – and it is not true now, still not be a long shot.Some people say it is important to protect
our leaders.They are wrong in this
case.In any case, it is important for
our leaders to protect the people.These
people are serial killers and should be treated as such.
Many people are running to the
coronavirus for help
When asked what he thought about the new Mrs. Miller testing
positive, the World’s Most Ignorant Man ruminated, “So, she tested positive out
of the blue.This is why the whole
concept of tests aren’t necessarily great; the tests are perfect but something
can happen between the test where it’s good then something happens and all of a
sudden she was tested very recently and tested negative and then today for some
reason she tested positive.”* whined that this proves testing is a waste of
time because one minute you test negative and then the next, you test positive
“for some reason.”For some reason
Americans have a president who is dumber than dirt.I hope someone figures out how that happened.
You would think a known germaphobe like Chrump would know to
protect his precious bodily fluids.You
would be much smarter than he is for thinking that, but you would also be,
pardon the expression, dead wrong.

Reporter: Mr. Chrump, you took an oath to faithfully execute

Chrump: The Office of President?I thought it was to faithfully execute the

showers are?They should be executed
too.Anyway, with the help of McConnell

Chrump salutes victims of COVID-19
-------------------
Chrump vs. Coronavirus – May The Best Germ Win
Chrump’s coronavirus task farce requested recommendations
from the CDC to help minimize the further spread of the virus during the
attempt to re-open the country. Unsurprisingly,
the Chrump administration will be completely ignoring the 17-page draft
recommendation for reopening America.Brace
yourselves for a soul-crushing reboot of massive fatalities in the coming weeks,
brought to you by President Death, Donald Chrump.Meanwhile, Chrump has taken to describing
citizens as “warriors” in the battle against the pandemic, suggesting some might
have to die if that will help boost the economy, that is, boost his chances for
re-election. And keep your fingers crossed now that Chrump’s
personal valet has tested positive for COVID-19.
UDUMASS
William Barr vs. Justice
Michael Flynn twice pleaded guilty to lying.He was also
found to be working as an unregistered foreign agent against the interests of
the United States while advising then-candidate Donald Chrump (also working
against the interests of the United States).At the time of Flynn’s trial, Chrump said, “I
had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the vice president and the FBI.”During his trial, the judge asked Chrump’s
National Security Advisor Michael Flynn if he was guilty of lying to the FBI
and Flynn responded, “Yes, your honor.” So, now that he is claiming that he is
not in fact guilty of the crime he pleaded guilty to, I guess we can add
perjury to the list of Flynn’s offenses.
“Democracy?
Justice? Never heard of ‘em.”
Some are calling this a “black day
for the Department of Justice.”In the
Chrump era it is simply a day ending in “y.”This is also nothing new for Bill Barr, who has made a career of
protecting top government officials from justice.Barr’s first stint as Attorney General
included absolving the Iran-Contra criminals of their crimes against the people
and the laws of the United States.Just
another day at (abusing) the office for Bill Barr, enemy of democracy, brought
in to hijack justice for the most criminal administration in American
history.For once, Chrump has actually
found the best man for the job.
I. Mangrey
reporting.This hurts me more than it
hurts you.
Been either a bit under the weather (hopefully allergies),
lazy, and/or lost in Coronaville. As we muddle through each and every agonizing moment of Donald Chrump's metastasizing administration, I find myself misty-eyed for the days when we still had Dick Nixon to kick
around some more, back when we mused about Dick Cheney – drunk out of his mind,
hunting crippled birds – shooting a large, grown man in the face (a man who later apologized for being shot in the face), we take you
back to a time before Paying Attention was even a twinkle in anyone’s
fingertips and I. Mangrey could only shout his angst at the wind and rain and a few
unfortunate friends. Back when Cheneys and Bushes and Rumsfelds and Ashcrofts
roamed the Earth. Back before Twitter-crazed, orange-hued, mental defectives
could become president and suggest that people might ingest or inject toxic
disinfectants to kill a virus. And back before the novel coronavirus, thanks to the
very strong, powerful and relentless help of Donald Chrump, killed almost 70,000
Americans…so far – still taking 2-3,000/day – and with no sign of slowing down
any time soon.
I find that the only thing worse than
spending most of my time sequestered in my home, is going to the market and
seeing everyone either wearing a mask and trying to stay at least six feet away
from everyone else at all times, or being too stupid to wear a mask and stay six
feet away from everyone else at all times. I am definitely feeling less intact
than I did at the start of The Quaran-times, but there are still a few things I
can remember. I'm still coherent enough to know a significant date in American history when I see one.One of those things is the massacre perpetrated by the National
Guard at Kent State University, where students peacefully protested an unjust
war in Vietnam, 50 years ago today. I also remember, though I was not around at
the time, 100 years before I was almost 30 years old – the Haymarket police
riot, where workers peacefully protested for an eight-hour work day. So,
remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave
because I'd go berserk...oops, wrong memory lane.
Remember?

Haymarket, Kent State And Now This…
USSA
May 4, 2006
On the
anniversary of The Haymarket Tragedy of 1886, where the United States
government violently disrupted a peaceful union rally during a nation-wide
strike for an eight-hour workday – resulting in several dead American
civilians and the scape-goating/imprisoning of several innocent men (later
pardoned) and the Kent State Massacre of 1970, where the United States
government violently disrupted a peaceful student protest against the Vietnam
war – resulting in four American civilians dead and numerous wounded when
National Guardsmen opened fire on unarmed students, Dick Cheney decides to
massacre whatever semblance of world peace that may remain by leveling
self-righteous threats against Russia.Shocking almost everyone in the reality-based world community,
Itchy-Trigger-Finger-Dick said, "In Russia today, opponents of reform are
seeking to reverse the gains of the last decade."Dick-Tator Cheney, the man who held
inappropriate secret meetings with oil reps who wrote our nation’s energy
policy, the man who led the charge to attack Iraq for no good reason
whatsoever, the man who repeatedly lied to the American public about a
make-believe relationship between bin Laden and Hussein, the man who vowed to
maintain America’s right to use torture, the man who oversaw the outing of
possibly our most important covert intelligence asset on Iranian nuclear issues
and of course the man who shot his very large, very old fundraising and hunting
buddy in the face, apparently mistaking him for a small, flightless bird while
in a drunken stupor that took 18 hours to recover from. (Although, luckily for
our nation’s security, the victim had the good sense to apologize once he was
able to remain upright again and promised never to do bird imitations while
sneaking up in front of a drunken man with a gun ever again.)This very same Dick is the man who now sees
fit to begin posturing to Russia that he has a thing or two to teach THEM about
democracy in the 21st Century.Just when you think these guys can’t get any dumber…
President Doody
This
administration is desperate for the good old days right after 9/11 when many
Americans were filled with fear and loathing and willing to pretend that the
recently appointed president was a glorious leader who would deliver them from
evil with a crusade of freedom, bombing and torture.This joyride was short-lived when we all
found ourselves in a seemingly impromptu game of Three-country Monty.Awash in what to some was a sea of lies and
bullshit, we were suddenly being told that Osama bin Laden was in fact Saddam
Hussein and that America needed to immediately invade a country that had
nothing to do with our current Red Alert.“Alright,” said most Americans, “you must know what you’re doing, even
though last week you swore to git bin Laden dead or alive.”Well, those days are gone now and the once
very popular, if not in fact elected president now has an approval rating somewhere
around that of syphilis.
Strangely
enough, Russian President Vladimir Putin responded angrily, accusing Cheney of
risking the start of a new Cold War with such irresponsible comments.This of course is just what the Dick-Tator
ordered.He knows there is no way in
hell that his “boss’s” poll numbers can improve without a massive threat to
national security – real or imagined.Since the Iran thing isn’t panning out the way they wanted, the Pee Wee
administration is desperately searching for an alternative dance partner for
the necessary threat of a new war in time for the upcoming mid-term
elections.Cheney, who cut his fangs on
Cold War politics obviously decided to go home with who brought him to this
dance.
Cheney of
course stands behind his comments, which he claims were carefully crafted, just
as he stood behind his shooting of a man in the face while hunting crippled
birds.
Thanks for
listening. Responsible comment invited.
The only way Donald Chrump could have done any worse at
responding to the virus pandemic would have been if he lined people up on Fifth
Avenue and personally murdered them, which as you may recall was his original
plan.
Someone should have sewn his face sphincter shut then and there
Or, he could have personally injected 60,000 people with
toxic disinfectants, which as you may recall was his back-up plan.
If these don’t work, he will surely kill us not-so-softly
with his werds:
I dare you to find better words
It is difficult to understand why Chrump is shying away from
taking credit for the biggest personal accomplishment of his hate-filled
presidency, other than the fact that he is much more comfortable taking credit
for things he did not accomplish – like better jobs numbers and the continuing
recovery from the horrific economic debacle of the Bush II years, both of which
resulted from Obama’s work to pull the country out of the garbage heap he
inherited.Instead of owning the fact
that his inactions, and his inactions alone made America’s experience of
COVID-19 so much worse than any other country in the world, Chrump is trying to
pin the blame for all his hard work on everyone else.
Apparently, I spoke too soon. Lackey-in-law Jared Kushner, who is in charge
of withholding critical materials and equipment from states, selling needed supplies
to foreign countries and hijacking shipments arranged by governors, stood in
front of cameras and microphones as the United States death toll approached 60,000
