On July 7, Trump sent a letter formally withdrawing from The World Health Organization which begs the question: “Is Trump trying to lose the election?” Surely, he knows that the Democrats (maybe) and the Lincoln Project (for sure, for sure) are going to produce ads screaming about the idiocy of withdrawing from WHO in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. Tomorrow the United States will pass 3,000,000 cases of the corona virus. It just doesn’t seem possible that Trump doesn’t see that, whatever his complaint with WHO, the decision to pull out of WHO now is contra-indicated. Tomorrow we can look forward to the entire Republican party avoiding the question of whether or not they agreed with the wacko decision. Being the spineless sycophants that they are, they will brush the questions off while sucking up to Trump, just like they’ve done a hundred times before. “That’s just Trump being Trump”. “I can’t answer for everything Trump says”. “I’m late for a very important meeting”. It’s a tired script of excuses that you can write yourself.
Which begs another question: Has Trump decided to take the Republican Party down with him? Does he take a secret pleasure in watching his fellow Republicans debase themselves to grovel before him? His obstinate refusal to wear a simple mask when people are dying by the thousands every day is astonishing. The subsequent laying on of lips to Trumps ass from Governors like Abbot, Kemp and DeSantis is amazing. What loyalty do they feel for this damn fool and why? These Governors have denied science and the evidence right before their eyes to the point of their constituents dying just to appease Trump. And they are not alone by any stretch of the imagination. It has become a common theme among Republican officials: deny the virus until there are too many dead bodies to ignore, then proclaim: “Well surprise, surprise! We need everybody to wear a mask. We need everybody to maintain a social distance. Who Knew?” The Republicans have become a death cult. Governor Kemp will probably be the next Republican Governor to have reality bite him on the ass and he will soon be calling for mask; just like Abbot. How many more Americans have to die because Georgia voted for an ignorant douchebag is anybody’s guess.
And now Trump and Betty DeVos are calling for a reopening of the schools next month claiming it will be perfectly safe. Given the accuracy of their recent statements and DeVos’s track record, it is a pretty sure bet that they are lying. They have no empirical data or studies that show their reopening can be done safely nor are they prepared to support any such studies. Trust them they say. Forget the string of lies we’ve told you and trust us that we know best for your children in this life or death situation. Hopefully, people will be less gullible when it comes to the lives of their children than they were about voting for a psychopath for president.
Trump and DeVos are in for a rude awakening when they find how many American moms withhold their children from school because they think that DeVos and Trump are full of shit. There is no way it will be safe for children to return to most schools before the end of the year at least and American Moms don’t want their children to be volunteered by Trump and DeVos to be unwilling subjects in an experiment to see how many children they will let die in a quest to test Trump’s and DeVos’s magical and unsubstantiated theories on when it is safe to reopen schools.
Finally, we get to Tucker Carlson despicable statements on state run television about the hero and patriot Sen. Tammy Duckworth hates America. Duckworth, who lost both legs in Iraq when the helicopter she was flying was hit by a rocket propelled grenade, has more patriotism in her little finger than Tucker has exhibited in his whole worthless life. She should challenge Tucker to a dual. Even with both legs missing, I bet she would wipe the floor with his smug ass. Tucker doubled down the next day accusing Duckworth of being a “coward” a “fraud” and a “moron”. In the old days, decent republicans would have tarred and feathered the worthless son of a bitch. Instead they are either cheering Tucker on or disgracing themselves by remaining silent and complicit about his despicable ravings. What’s left of the republican party has sunk so low that they cheer Tucker on in his disgraceful slander of an American hero.
At this point, anyone who describes themselves as a Republican is proclaiming themselves to be either a proud supporter of white supremacy and anti-Americanism or too goddamn stupid to realize that they are being useful idiots for a regime that places party over country every time.
The only way to reclaim our country is to vote Blue in November up and down the ballot. Vote for America or vote for Republicans. The choice is mutually exclusive.
