Fox “News” hosts insist Covid-19 is overblown – from the safety of quarantine in their own homes.  Trump claims he doesn’t wear masks.  But he does.

This was in the back, before coming out to the pubic.  He took it off before the press started taking photos because he doesn’t want the Cult-45 to know he’s lying to them…

Trump claims he found a doctor to write him a prescription for Hydroxychloroquine and now he’s merrily taking it every day.  Frankly, nobody outside of the conservative bubble believes him but that’s his story and he’s sticking to it.  The doctor he’s making responsible for this is Sean Conley who now stands accused of prescribing a potentially deadly medication to a patient (the ostensible President of the United States, no less) who doesn’t have any symptoms.  Doctor-watchers tend to frown on things like that.

My first thought when I heard this news is this Doctor Conley should be investigated by the American Medical Association for malpractice.  Then I realized, if this guy can get the so-called “President” to voluntarily and happily ingest a medication for which he has no use but which – according to every study to date – significantly increases the chances the patient will die, perhaps the good doctor should instead by given the Medal of Honor…

Sadly, it’s most likely the doctor prescribed sugar pills dressed up to look like Hydroxychloroquine just to shut up his whiny patient…

I’m laughing at conservatives who are simultaneously politicizing the Covid-19 response while shouting at the top of their lungs that nobody should be politicizing the Covid-19 response.  They don’t even seem to realize they’ve been directed to go outside and “prove” the safety of the situation so Trump can “revive” the economy and win the “election.”  Nothing political about that, right?

It’s a huge bet.  If it turns out Trump’s gut is right, everybody will be fine and everything will get back to normal.  If it turns out science is right, there will be another spike and more tens of thousands dead and FAR more damage to the economy.  Hell, the clowns running this show haven’t even contained the FIRST spike and they’re already ramping up another?  Nice.

Either way, there’s absolutely NO evidence Trump has the ability to revive the economy so putting everybody’s life at risk seems an extra stupid thing to do…

Yesterday, Trump declared churches essential places of business and ordered governors across the nation to allow them to open for services starting this weekend.  I’m for it.  Anything that might reduce the number of Trump voters AND the number of religious zealots who want their god injected into everything except their own lives is okay in my book…

Oh, hey, speaking of Republican hypocrisy, have you heard that Trump is fighting against people using vote by mail in every way he can?  He was clever enough to declare that if people get to vote, Republicans would never win again.  No surprise, there.  Republicans have long known they can’t win without cheating.  That’s why they a) cheat in every “election” and b) scream and shout about how their opposition is cheating…

Aw, Tara Reid’s lawyer has let her go as a client.  It seems she got caught in yet ANOTHER lie, this time about her educational credentials.  She lies like a Trump.  You know the thing that blows me away about all of that?  I’m often amazed that people who lie so often, so readily, so easily, also lie so effing BADLY!  You’d think they’d at least be good at it…
