The Trump Virus*
I was going to add these comments as an insert to the bottom of my previous post
. But since there are so many, I figured I'd make it a separate post.1. Sen. Mitch McConnell is blaming Trump's lack of "response" to the coronavirus on the impeachment hearings and trial because they were a "distraction." Huh? I thought Trump is doing a great job handling the virus! Republicans can't have it both ways. Oh wait, Republicans can. Never mind.
But Trump held nine rallies and played six rounds of golf during that time. But then in his usual word salad, Trump basically said that the impeachment process had nothing to do with it. Then a couple of days later, he said it did. I refer you to the previous sentences.
That's something coming from McConnell though, since he admits he's sitting on 395 bills that came over from the House. What's his excuse for that? And no, just because they wouldn't pass the Senate isn't an excuse. Because the way it works, is that the Senate passes their version of the same legislation and both go to conference for a compromise bill.
Of course, McConnell and the Republicans don't waste any time when it comes to confirming radical right-wing judges. If only they were as productive - hell, half as productive - working on health care, gun control, the environment, securing our elections (insert laughter here) and getting hospitals the desperately needed medical supplies they need, this country would be a lot better off. But other than confirming judges, not doing their job is a feature for these Fascists, not a bug.
2. Trump has a history of rewarding Republicans and his friends and turning his back on Democrats, even in matters of life and death with the coronavirus. And not only won't he use the federal government's power and and resources to provide hospitals the necessary supplies, he's impeded their efforts. And as far as Democratic-controlled states are concerned, he won't act until the Democratic governors are "appreciative" of him; i.e. kiss his behind and don't say a cross word about him (and even then, his response would be tepid at best. And it has.). Good God. There's teachers who don't like certain students but still do their best with them and grade them fairly. There's defense attorneys who despise the criminal defendants they're defending, but still do their best to get them off. And those are examples where the teacher and attorney had legitimate reasons to dislike the student and defendant, unlike Trump who penalizing Democrats for being Democrats and lashes out at reporters because they have the nerve of asking "Dear Leader" questions he can't answer.
Here's even a better example: while Obamacare was going through Congress in 2010, President Obama and other Democrats were hung in effigy and intimidated, including having death threats made against them. And black Representatives had to run the gauntlet of racial slurs leading up to to their vote on Obamacare. But they still made sure those "people" responsible for those nasty racial insults and intimidation could get health insurance.
Oh wait, that's not exactly right. If they were poor and their "pro-life" Republican-controlled state didn't take the mostly free federal money to expand Medicaid, they were out of luck.
So let me see if I have this straight: the victims of such hateful racial vitriol made sure those responsible for it got health insurance and all the benefits that came with Obamacare. But those "pro-lifers," who were fanning the flames of that hateful racial vitriol, tried to prevent those who were spewing that hateful racial vitriol from getting health insurance and reaping the benefits of Obamacare with their sabotage and obstruction. And the "spewers" supported that sabotage and obstruction. And now we have a "president" who turns his back on governors during a pandemic because they're ungrateful Democrats who don't know how wonderful he's treating them. Um, OK, got it.
Anyway, since Donald Trump is a spiteful, vindictive and vengeful narcissist who has all the character of raw sewage, he won't life a finger for you until you glorify him and stroke his wicked ego.
Which brings me to...
3. If Trump or someone in his family ever needs medial attention, for any reason, the doctors shouldn't treat him, or them, until he uses his power to get all hospitals the coronavirus supplies they need: test kinds, protective gear, and ventilators. Hey, this is how Trump deals with everyone who needs something important from him — even hospitals in the middle of a pandemic or the president of Ukraine who desperately needed military aid in their conflict with Russia. In order to receive it, they have to praise him and do something for him in order to get it. Quid pro quo. Extortion.
So as long as he's withholding life saving supplies to hospitals during a pandemic because he doesn't like the way Democratic governors treat him, Trump should be held to his own extorting standards when he or someone in his family needs medical attention. Why not? If Trump can be vindictive and use extortion when someone needs something important from him, even life-saving medical supplies and equipment, why can't he be extorted when he or someone in his family needs something important, even life-saving medical care? Or is Trump the only one allowed to be spiteful and vindictive, even in matters of life an death? I'm dead serious about this.
So if Trump or anyone in his family needs medical attention, life-saving or not, screw him. They'll get it once he sends the hospitals everything they need. Pay back's a bitch.
4. Take a look at a series of Trump's tweets in 2014 when President Obama was handling the Ebola outbreak, which turned out to be a text book case on how it's supposed to be done. Meanwhile, Trump's indifference and inaction to this virus has made it a lot worse.
And take a look at how Republicans, Fox "News," right-wing blowhards and the media attacked and treated Obama in 2014.
As I've said many times, if hypocrisy was dirt, Republicans would be the biggest mountain in the world.
But wait, there's more...
Imagine the outrage on the right if there there was this much corruption, price gouging and even theft when states tried to purchase medical supplies and ventilators in 2014, and Obama didn't give a crap, especially when it came to Republican states.
If hypocrisy was dirt...
5. Those evil, commie, pinko liberals in California, San Francisco and Washington state handled the virus correctly. And it's paying off.
6. Hey, priorities (hover over the link, it's all you need to know).
7. Since I don't want to come back and add an insert to this post, I'll say this now: Trump and his family will profit financially from the virus, whether it's the protective gear or the drugs, hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine. Probably both. There has been inferences to this already. (I know, I know, Fake News! Liberal media! Orchestrated by George Soros!)
I wouldn't put it passed him and he has been pushing those drugs.
I'd say that Trump is despicable and a piece of excrement, but that's being extremely kind. In fact, if you took those words, pumped them with steroids, and multiplied that by 100, it still wouldn't come close to accurately describing him.
There are no words anymore. The thesaurus ran out of words that could describe this man monster a long time ago.
Hey, I've been proven right already. Trump has a small financial interest in Sanofi, the manufacturer of Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine. I knew it! There was no way he'd practice saying hydroxychloroquine unless he had a financial reason to!
Anyway, will Trump's voters care about his conflict of interest and profiteering off the misery, sicknesses and deaths he's causing? Pfft, Hillary's emails are still the real scandal! It's a cult!
8. One of the things that Republican supporters are making a big deal about - it's all they have - is that Trump imposed a travel ban from China. A few things: A) it was too little too late, B) there were exceptions to the ban, C) nearly 40,000 people have flown into the US from China since Trump's "ban" was put in place, D) Italy imposed a much stronger ban four days earlier and it didn't work, E) at least 430,000 people have traveled to the US since the virus surfaced, F) doing anything that's anti-China or anti-international is how Trump yanks that leash he's tied to his voter's noses, G) making a big deal about this would be like giving a doctor the Nobel Prize for Medicine for tossing a couple of expired aspirin at a cancer patient, and H) the 1962 Mets won a game every once in a while; it doesn't mean they weren't one of the worst teams in baseball history.
Since Republicans don't do much of anything worthy of taking credit for, it doesn't happen often. But when it does, they'll make a big deal out it. It's a talking point they give to their voters. So it's repeated over and over again to distract and blunt the truth. They did the same thing when they were "holding elections" in Iraq (as if Republican voters ever cared about Iraqi's). It was a way to spin Bush's disastrous war, a war that he lied us into and should never have been fought.
Again, just because the '62 Mets won a game every once in a while...
9. At the bottom of my last post, I explained that I was outraged at the lack of outrage from Dr. Fauci and the Democrats. Especially the Democrats. But there's also another aspect to this.
In watching doctors, nurses, infectious disease experts and philanthropists on TV, there's also this calmness and lack of anger. They're not even treating Trump's indifference and lack of response to the virus as they would, say, a missing line on a 1040 tax form or a delayed flight. My God, this is a life-changing matter of life and death for everyone! And they're not even treating it with the incredulousness of a pot hole that hasn't been filled for months!
I haven't seen a single nurse, doctor, researcher or philanthropist get angry and blame Trump for anything. Not one. Why is that? Why doesn't anyone call him out by name with the anger to match? Hell, they don't even mention him.
Oh wait, I'm wrong. They do when they're "thankful" for what little he has done. Good grief.
My God, Trump didn't drop the ball, he never even bothered to pick it up! He kicked it to the states - the "complainers" because the federal government is just the "backup" - where he basically told them to fend for themselves! You think everyone would be this calm and passive if this was Obama's or Hillary's colossal indifference and incompetence? My God, a missing line on a tax form would be news for days, even weeks! Republicans would have made sure of it! So why is everyone so afraid of criticizing "Dear Leader?"
And making it even worse, is that Trump knew in January how bad this virus was going to be. But he did nothing about it. Hell, he knew it was a possibility 2018! And instead of allowing the NSC Pandemic Unit - set up by President Obama - to continue it's research and preparedness, just in case, he disbanded it. He also cut funding to the CDC, which hampered their response to the virus. And last September he removed a CDC office in China that was there to detect a virus. (A summery of Trump dismissing and dismantling the virus pandemic infrastructure that was in place before this virus struck is here.)
And still, no one on TV blames Trump for anything. Again, he's not even mentioned. And showing a bit of outrage in a tweet once or twice isn't nearly enough, loud enough or angry enough. But see how they react when they try and call the IRS to speak to a human being about the missing line on a tax form.
And I don't want to hear they're afraid if they call him out, he won't help when he's needed. He was needed months ago and still hasn't helped! Besides, that fear didn't stop Republicans from attacking Obama in 2009 and 2010 leading up to Obamacare, and in 2014 during the ebola outbreak. I refer you to #2 above (oh wait, "pro-life" Republicans, who were [and are] receiving wonderful tax-payer funded health insurance, were trying to prevent Obamacare from becoming law so their constituents couldn't get health insurance - bad example).
Also, why is everyone so surprised at the lack of action and preparedness from the White House and federal government? Have they not been watching this pathological lying, crackpot of a "president" the last three years? Trump's corrupt administration has been one train wreck after another. Did they really expect Donald Trump to suddenly give a crap and handle this with the seriousness and competence it required? What the hell have they've been watching?
So...
10. Trump tried to spin the virus away because believed it would hurt his re-election chances. But if he had half a brain, he would have known that handling this correctly would have increased his chances of victory.
But that would have been problematic for two reasons. First, had there been a well-planned federal government response, that would have disproven the GOP's perennial talking point that government is incompetent. So therefore, second, Republicans have a vested political interest in government failing. So the incompetent virus response validates that talking point. And voila! A new cynical, anti-government Republican voter is born!
So even in matters of life and death, "pro-life" Republicans have politics to play.
Therefore...
11. During the summer and fall, Trump will spin the staggering number of hospitalized and dead as it being a victory: Hey, if I didn't act it would have been a lot worse! And it may work because no one has gotten angry and blamed him publicly for his deadly indifference and incompetence. At least that would have laid the groundwork so he couldn't take credit for his lack of action.
Besides, regardless of what the numbers turn out to be, do you think the GOP, their massive propaganda machine and the media would have allowed Obama or Hillary to get away with disgusting spin like that after failing to act because the virus was a Republican "hoax" and a plot to ruin his/her re-election chances? I refer you to #4 above.
Actually, if this was Obama or Hillary, or Trump was a Democrat, Republicans would have made sure someone in the White House invoked the 25th Amendment, Section 4, a long time ago. But Democrats don't mention that either!
But wait, there's more!
Democratic Rep. Clyburn on the select coronavirus committee he will lead:
My understanding is that this committee will be forward-looking. We're not going to be looking back on what the president may or may not have done back before this crisis hit.Good grief. Can you imagine Republicans giving Obama or Hillary - or Trump if he was a Democrat - a free pass like that? Heck, can you imagine Republicans giving Obama or Hillary - or Trump if he was a Democrat - a free pass after admitting
I was going to add these comments as an insert to the bottom of my previous post. But since there are so many, I figured I'd make it a separate post.

He also cut funding to the CDC, which hampered their response to the virus. And last September he removed a CDC office in China that was there to detect a virus.

But wait, there's more!
Democratic Rep. Clyburn on the select coronavirus committee he will lead:
My understanding is that this committee will be forward-looking. We're not going to be looking back on what the president may or may not have done back before this crisis hit.Good grief. Can you imagine Republicans giving Obama or Hillary - or Trump if he was a Democrat - a free pass like that? Heck, can you imagine Republicans giving Obama or Hillary - or Trump if he was a Democrat - a free pass after admitting he/she fired the FBI director barely four months into his/her term to stop an investigation against him/her, even if they didn't control Congress (if that's not obstruction of justice, then what would be?)?
Republicans have turned politics into a street fight but Democrats are in a corner all rolled up in the fetal position and never fight back. And they have the arguments to do so! And we wonder why Republicans get away with, well, everything (Trump's impeachment did noting as far as his political accountability is concerned. If anything, it empowered him.).
12. Trump and the coronavirus are very much alike. They're both deadly, unforgiving, scary as hell, and they both get worse every day.
13. Where's the unredacted version of the Mueller report? Remember that? What is Trump hiding? What does he not want us to know? The same could be asked of his tax returns.
I present your Republican Party Fascist Death Cult.
Don't believe me? Here's more proof.
14. Due to the coronavirus, Wisconsin's Democratic governor had postponed today's elections until June. Makes sense, right? But not to Republicans in the state. They filed suit to force the voting to proceed. Of course they did. And, incredibly, they won. But because of the virus (obviously), and Milwaukee, a heavily Democratic city having just five out of 180 polling places open, and Republicans winning a Supreme Court legal challenge that blocked an absentee ballot deadline extension, turnout will be extremely low. And that will give a right-wing judge a much better chance of winning re-election to the state Supreme Court. (The State Supreme Court that overruled the governor and forced these elections today is closed because of the virus.)
So, yes, "pro-life" Republicans want to risk the lives of voters, poll workers and National Guard members - and spread the virus even more in the process - to help a conservative judge win an election because they know rigging elections by suppressing turnout (and extreme gerrymandering and failing to secure the voting machines) is the only way Republicans can win. And Trump and the Republicans admit it.
And Wisconsin's GOP needs this judge on the court because he's a sure vote in support of their extreme gerrymandering and voter suppression efforts. This is how Republicans rig the system.
Fascists. Death Cult. But wait, there's even more proof!
There's still no official national stay-at-home-order to stop the spread of the virus, and eight "pro-life" Republican states have resisted instituting their own. And making matters even worse, Georgia's "pro-life" Republican governor has gone in the opposite direction by overruling local authority and insanely reopened their beaches.
Hey Trump and Republican voters: Trump and the GOP count on you being this mindless, gullible and stupid. Oh wait.
I present your Republican Party Fascist Death Cult Party. And that too is being extremely kind.
April 13 insert:
15. After telling the (Democratic-controlled) states they're on their own, the federal government is undermining their PPE procurement efforts by intercepting and stealing their orders. Yeah, really.
Again, there are no words anymore, except Trump hates America. A lot. Don't believe me? More proof is here and here.
16. In war, when our special forces are sent on an extremely dangerous mission behind enemy lines, they prepare for it, even practice it, and have all the necessary gear and equipment they need. And when they reach their objective, they have the option of retreating or aborting the mission if it turns out to be too risky or dangerous. But in this unconventional "war" against the coronavirus, our health care personnel are our soldiers and special forces. But they haven't been trained in dealing with this virus, don't have the proper gear or protective equipment, and when faced with exposure to the virus themselves, retreating is not and will not be an option.
