| Captain Bone Spurs looks unhappy. |
Yesterday, he told a gathering of reporters that Dr. Anthony Fauci gave an 'unacceptable' answer to a question about re-opening schools this fall, i.e. Fauci told them that we need to go slowly or risk creating Covid-19 'spikes' that could balloon into a resurgence of the sickness that we cannot stop....or even slow down.
So, the Orange Idiot immediately popped off that Dr. Fauci's answer didn't please his Highness. He labelled it, as above, 'unacceptable'. And, the reason for this lack of acceptance by The Fool was as obvious as a tick on a hairless cat. Trump is desperate to get the economy re-started, but not because he has any concern for the great sacrifices and hardships being endured by working people across the land. No, no. He wants the economy jump-started because his best hope for re-election was how robust and profitable it has been during his tenure. This is something he claims full credit for at every opportunity. He loves to point out how he is the 'best president' to ever hold the office....and that his great wisdom and determination is the sole reason we have come this far.
Oh.....BULLSHIT!!!
The economy was well on it's way to a full recovery when Obama turned it over to the Idiot. Check the facts. This is TRUE. But, ignoring truth and replacing it with his own lies has never caused Captain Bone Spurs to lose a wink of sleep. He lies so easily that my wife and I are often asking if he really even knows when he's lying.
The agonizing truth is that Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about the working people and he's now doing all within his power....and that would include reaching for power that is arguably not even legitimately his, to get businesses open even when it appears that the workers will be at extreme risk of getting sick and even dying. He does something just to see if it will fly...and because ol' Moonface McConnell is his lap-dog and never stands in his way, he often has gotten away with doing things that would have been called out. And, of course, when he was called out, i.e. impeached, the senate obligingly acquitted him. So, why would he be the least concerned about 'right and wrong'?
In his haste to get the economy back on track, Donald J. Trump is willing to cause the deaths of thousands of Americans. It won't bother him even a tiny bit if these workers in meat packing plants die in droves. He is, as has been demonstrated over and over ad nauseum, completely unable to feel empathy or compassion. In fact, I just read an article by a highly respected psychiatrist in which he gave a lucid explanation of how a malignant narcissist operates and why empathy is just not available to them.
Even without this knowledge, one has had the last three plus years to observe Trump in action. I don't know about you, but I have yet to see him demonstrate kindness, empathy, compassion, wisdom.....or, hell, any decency at all. He's a sadistic son-of-a-bitch. He revels at the idea that a dissenter at one of his rallies might get 'roughed up' as he is thrown out. He mocks, he derides, he accuses, he does pretty much whatever he feels like doing in the interest of destroying his critics, all of whom are considered mortal enemies.
So, here we are, over 85 thousand Americans have died, about 300,000 souls world-wide, and this man...and, I use the term loosely....wants to force workers back to work in potentially lethal working conditions....demonstrated clearly by the fact that dozens have been infected and died already. This is not a problem for the Big Cheeto. Call it 'collateral damage', or simply, "...the cost of doing business"....doesn't matter, it is how big business operates normally. I can tell you stories of friends who had their lives destroyed by working in a paper mill here in Maine. The company just ran them..and then their survivors...through the courts until they were broke. In 2020 America, whether you like it or not, this is very often how big business operates.
And, if you listen to Rush Limbaugh, or any of the Fox toadies, you will come to understand that life goes on...and, it's best to be on top. What? If you can get set-up as a 'taker' and avoid being a 'giver', it's all good. Republicans of the neo-liberal persuasion still like Ayn Rand's pseudo-philosophy in which the poor are just the suckers on whose backs the aggressive and superior members of a dog-eat-dog society ride. The motto Ayn Rand could have embraced was, "Sucks to be you."
As we move forward, through this living nightmare scenario, it is going to be of critical importance that those people who clearly see who Donald John Trump is....with all of his evil intentions clearly driving his decisions....must not just watch it all go down. It is the responsibility of anybody who understands how dire and dangerous this situation is and how much worse...far worse...it could still become, to do everything in their power to get complacent people to sit-up and pay attention. Get them to commit to voting in November, and help them to realize that what hangs in the balance is easily the most critical choice in modern times.
Either we knock the would be emperor off his throne in a fair and legal election, or we don't. And, if we fail to get him out, the price will be so vast that it seems barely believable. Our democracy will become a holographic illusion of a democracy. The people will be under the command of the most insane and evil leader to ever gain the highest office in the land. This sounds like hyperbole.
But, sadly, IT IS NOT.
