The Island of Dr. Moron

The Best Human/Animal Hybrids

July 17, 2020

In their continuing effort to kill Americans with the coronavirus, the Chrump administration is now ordering hospitals to stop informing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of all data related to COVID-19 cases. Because, who should Americans trust when it comes to public health and safety? A bunch of medical experts or brainless narcissist who, 1) says the pandemic that has already killed 140,000 Americans is just a hoax to keep him from being re-elected, and 2) pondered aloud, in front of cameras, to doctors, if injecting disinfectant into live human beings might be a good way to treat virus patients, and 3) is a documented pathological liar about absolutely everything? And these are some of his better traits. Tough call.

“I told my people, ‘Slow the testing down please.’”
Donald Chrump, June 20, 2020

Pundits are wondering aloud why would Chrump suddenly take the CDC out of the loop and control the data from the White House. Really? This is the guy who says on an almost daily basis that if we stop testing for the virus the number of cases will go to zero. It stands to reason that Chrump “thinks” that if he hides the number of cases that he says don’t exist in the first place, that the pandemic will “magically disappear.” Public health experts however, are not wondering about the move; they fear the data will be distorted for political gain. At least someone is paying attention.

 

It is entirely possible at this point that the Chrump campaign believes it is best to keep the pandemic going in order to augment all of their other Gut Out The Vote efforts. The thinking is, if the pandemic continues unabated, people will be afraid to show up at the polls (most of which will have been shuttered by Republican’ts to ensure the longest lines possible). This, coupled with the accelerating assault on the United States Postal Service, they hope will cripple mail-in voting efforts. Add this to their typical voter purges and other disenfranchisement techniques and Republican’ts can likely steal another election. And put the final nail in the coffin into which they have already stuffed American democracy.

Another Deranged Doctor

Former White House physician and lying Chrump lackey Ronny Jackson – who in 2018 spent the better part of an hour trying to convince the American public that Donald Chrump “had great findings across the board,” “had a lot of energy and a lot of stamina.” Jackson described Chrump as “very sharp and very articulate” and said he “told the President that if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years he might live to be 200 years old.” He further lied that Chrump was 6’3” tall and weighed 239 lbs. After winning his primary, Jackson will likely be elected to Congress in November in a very red, intellectually challenged district.

Jackson, after demonstrating his utter disregard for the truth in service to Chrump was tapped to head the VA Department in spring 2018. However, Jackson withdrew his nomination after allegations of “excessive drinking on the job,” “improperly dispensing meds,” and other workplace misconduct surfaced, which the ethically-challenged Jackson naturally denied as “baseless and anonymous attacks,” but stated that he was withdrawing because they had “become a distraction.”

Jackson recently admitted to not wearing a mask “all that often” in public during the current pandemic, which continues its swath of devastation across the country. Ronny told Fux and Friends, “I think that wearing a mask is a personal choice, and I don’t particularly want my government telling me that I have to wear a mask…I don’t wear a mask all that often to be honest with you.” I wonder if he believes the Earth is flat.

Doctor vs. Not-A-Doctor

The White House also amped up their attempt to discredit their own top infectious disease specialist, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Chrump's top trade adviser and highly disregarded professional idiot Peter Navarro wrote in an op-ed for USA Today that Fauci (who 76% of Americans trust on the pandemic as opposed to 26% who trust Chrump) “has a good bedside manner with the public, but he has been wrong about everything I have interacted with him on.” That is, if by “wrong” Navarro means exactly right based on the available information at a given time, and having the guts and brains to change his advice as new information comes to light.

Navarro often clarifies that he has no experience with science or medicine (while claiming he knows more than you do because he is a “social scientist”) during interviews; he frequently screeches about this immediately before he blathers on about issues of science or medicine. Navarro claimed he was attacking Fauci at the behest of his lord and savior Donald Chrump. Ever the cowardly liar, Chrump insisted he has a great relationship with Fauci and denied having any prior knowledge of Navarro’s op ed. If he only had a brain.
