Does anyone else think that the reason Donald Trump is putting Mike Pence in charge of combatting the coronavirus outbreak is so that Pence can be blamed and thrown under the bus when the outbreak becomes a pandemic? UPDATE: According to a report in the NY Times, Vice President Mike Pence was picked to lead […]

Sick Propaganda

It looks like the coronavirus is being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump. I’m dead right on this. The coronavirus is the common cold, folks. — Rush Limbaugh, claiming that the coronavirus is fake news and accusing the media of exaggerating its severity.

Rudy Giuliani, Security Threat

Like his boss, Rudy Giuliani loves Twitter, but he has a problem. Rudy is a poor typist, and often mistypes URLs in his tweets (along with inserting other spelling errors).

There was more booing, more yelling, and I caught a middle finger or two. I’m a big boy, and I can take a tough crowd, but […]

“I want to say again how profoundly sorry I am for what I said and did… and for the great burden they have imposed.”— Bill Clinton, February 1999. “It was all bullshit.”“It was evil, it was corrupt, it was dirty cops, it was leakers, it was liars.”— Donald Trump, February 2020.

Romney

Regardless to anything I might have said about Mitt Romney in the past, today I want to say “Thank you”. Romney did something that I can’t imagine will benefit him personally in any way, but it was the right thing to do. That takes guts. Read why in The Atlantic. An anonymous quote, attributed to […]
