In every age it has been the, tyrant, the oppressor and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the people.
I don’t wear face masks like him. Every time you see him he’s got a mask. He could be speaking 200 feet away…and he shows up with the biggest mask I’ve ever seen.
~ Donald J. Trump, First Presidential Debate 2020 ~
Jonathan Swan, for Axios interviewed Mr. Trump last week and it just aired on HBO last night. It’s the cognitive test that he didn’t pass. The videos I post here are usually short in length, but if you haven’t watched this, I highly recommend you do so. It’s 37:53 well spent.
For the last month or so, I’ve been trying to stay away from the insanity known as the White House Daily Briefings, at least on this blog anyway. My husband on the other hand has been patiently putting up with my rants. Something happened yesterday however that I simply must address or I will spontaneously combust. After a presentation from scientist Bill Bryan on the effectiveness of sunlight and disinfectants on surfaces, Trump took things a step farther:
I see disinfectant, where it knocks [the coronavirus] out in one minute—one minute—and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and does a tremendous job on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that. So you’re going to have to use medical doctors, but it sounds interesting to me.
For anyone thinking: “Kim. You must have misheard.” Here’s the video.
I totally relate to Dr. Birx’s body language. While most of us know not to take in dangerous household chemicals into our bodies, there are those who faithfully follow everything that comes out of Mr. Trump’s mouth. Maryland’s Emergency Management Agency had to issue an official warning not to use disinfectants to treat coronavirus after their hotline received more than 100 calls. And this morning, Dettol, Reckitt Benckiser Plc., the maker of Lysol, felt the need to warn “under no circumstances” should its disinfectants be introduced in the human body through injection, ingestion, or any other method.
Even a group of four-year-olds released this warning:
By now, many of you have heard Donald Trump making medical recommendations from the White House,” the statement read. “It’s important for you to know that these recommendations have no basis in medical or scientific fact.”
“Right now, millions of you are stuck at home with nothing to do,” the statement continued. “Still, that’s no excuse to do anything that Donald Trump tells you to do.”
The four-year-olds’ communiqué ended with a general advisory for the future: “Whenever Donald Trump tells you to do something, ask yourself: If Donald Trump jumped off a bridge, would you jump off a bridge? Of course not.”
Okay, that last bit was satire courtesy of The New Yorker’s Andy Borowitz, but I hope you get the picture. I can’t even believe I had to write this.
I know. I know. You’re probably thinking “Not another Trump post!” I apologize, but if I don’t get this out, I think I might literally explode!
In a recorded statement given to reporters a short while ago, Mr. Trump reluctantly said he believes the conclusion reached by the intelligence community that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election. Here’s a short piece of it.
First, did you notice how the lights went out while he was spouting this nonsensical garbage? Yeah. That was a message from the powers-that-be! Second, he sullenly says he believes the conclusions reached by intelligence agencies, but then makes sure to add that it “…could be other people out there.” Oh, and his greatest hit, “There was no collusion.” And finally, he “misspoke “ yesterday? Seriously?
If the Republicans have any true loyalty to this country and not just to the “stable genius”, who’s in charge, they will join with the Democrats in demanding to know what exactly was said in that closed door meeting. And now I need to go take something for my head.
