four days is nothing in covid time

“Every­body was told to wear a mask. Why did the first fam­i­ly and the chief of staff be­lieve that the rules for every­body else didn’t ap­ply to them?”
—Chris Wal­lace

“Be­cause that’s the core con­ceit of con­ser­vatism. It is at heart ex­act­ly what it start­ed out as: A de­fense of the no­bil­i­ty. Trump com­mands cult­like def­er­ence be­cause he is the liv­ing em­bod­i­ment of cap­i­tal­ist di­vin­i­ty. He’s as­cend­ed be­yond re­stric­tions, and so far only the cold hand of na­ture her­self has even slowed him down. He is the hope of every class-ob­sessed bas­tard in the coun­try, ei­ther to be­come just like him or re­in­force the delu­sion that strict hi­er­ar­chies of priv­i­lege are the way things ought to be. Of course the rules don’t ap­ply to Trump, and of course con­ser­v­a­tives love him for it. Rules are for peas­ants, not lords and kings.”
—Jef Rouner

“While agents in the Se­cret Ser­vice have the pow­er to say no to ac­tiv­i­ties that could put a pres­i­dent in dan­ger, they can’t say no in sit­u­a­tions that could put them­selves in dan­ger.”
—Kevin Lip­tak, CNN

 

Hu­man be­ings are noth­ing but dis­pos­able ob­jects to Don­ald Trump, there to sat­is­fy his every whim and be dis­posed of when they are no longer use­ful.

These Se­cret Ser­vice agents have fam­i­lies. They’re peo­ple. And some of them have COVID-19 be­cause of his in­sis­tence on not fol­low­ing prop­er pro­to­col with PPE and so­cial dis­tanc­ing.

For as long as he is alive and con­scious he will con­tin­ue to dam­age and break and ruin peo­ple and lives.

Even if he lives through this and is vot­ed out and leaves peace­ful­ly, he will nev­er go to jail as many of you are wish­ing. Not ever.

George W. Bush is a war crim­i­nal and he goes to base­ball games with Ellen. It sim­ply will not hap­pen.

Y’all know I usu­al­ly try to be pret­ty lev­el head­ed and ra­tio­nal about things so be­lieve me when I say I dou­ble and triple checked my­self and thought about this be­fore I put it out here:

Look at this pho­to. He looks so fuck­ing pal­lid.

And look at his hands, they re­al­ly ARE tiny!

B U T

When have you ever seen his hair combed nor­mal­ly like that? Some­one had to do it for him.

And he’s wear­ing a LOT of make­up. Not his usu­al or­ange crap, ei­ther. I mean, it’s still there, but aside from the or­ange crap.

They did every­thing they could to make him look not-dy­ing.

All of this is a pub­lic­i­ty stunt to make peo­ple think he’s okay. Which is to­tal­ly fuck­ing in­sane. Not that it hasn’t hap­pened be­fore in the his­to­ry of our na­tion, but this is a man who is not okay.

All this has to be way worse than any of us know and than any­one is let­ting on.

Also, LOL:
“Some Trump al­lies are en­ter­tain­ing con­spir­a­cy the­o­ries that the White House out­break was caused by some­one with po­lit­i­cal mo­tives. ‘It’s weird that all these Re­pub­li­cans are get­ting it,’ a promi­nent Re­pub­li­can told me. ‘I don’t know what the fuck is go­ing on. But one thing I’ve learned is: When some­thing ma­jor hap­pens thir­ty days be­fore an elec­tion, it usu­al­ly has to do with the elec­tion.’”
—Gabriel Sher­man, Van­i­ty Fair

Hh­h­hhnnnnnnnhhrrru­u­u­u­ur­rgggffff!

GOSH IT’S SO WEIRD I CAUGHT ALL THESE STDS EVEN THOUGH ALL I DID WAS GO AROUND BANG­ING PEO­PLE WITH­OUT US­ING CON­DOMS.

Lots of Re­pub­li­cans are evil, but many oth­ers are just plain stu­pid.

Her­man Cain was at least smart enough to stay in the hos­pi­tal. And it’s nev­er good when Her­man Cain is the smart one com­pared to you.
