“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.
