91 Days until the election on November 3rd
171 Days until the Inauguration on January 20, 2021
Well, well, well, what can I say?
I remember reading about a chess master in the 19th century who during one match jumped onto his chair, pointed at his opponent and yelled, “Why do I have to play this idiot?”
I was watching the exchange between Jim Jordan and Anthony Fauci. Jordan was doing what he always does in these situations – being a bully, or being an idiot. Maybe, both. Jordan was trying to get Fauci to say that the government should intervene on the protests to stop the spread of the corona virus. This went on for most of Jordan’s five minutes of questioning. So, either Jordan is stupid or he’s a bully. Fauci repeatedly said that wasn’t his call. What he did was to advise: avoid crowds; wear a mask was his advice. He repeatedly told Mr. Jordan that it was not his call as to what gatherings should be allowed and which not. This was either too hard for Mr. Jordan to understand or he was being a bully.
In other stuff I got a meme showing on a horizontal split picture Bill Gates and below him the people in the white lab coats that were in the ad saying don’t wear masks and screw social distancing. The meme showed bullet points near Bill’s picture. Things like: “never graduated from college,” “has no epidemiological experience,” etc. Then there were paragraphs saying who the folks in the picture were and what their medical experience and degrees were. The question posed was basically, “Who are you going to believe?”
Bill – obviously.
(Just to be clear, the points the meme didn’t mention was that Bill founded one of the most successful companies of all time. Has been the richest man in the world. Wiped out via his organization one of the most deadly diseases in the world. Warned us via a TED talk in 2015 that a pandemic like we are experiencing was possible and that we should prepare. Likes to read unpublished PhD thesis while on vacation.)
Next.
Well, then there’s Louie Gohmert who said he can’t help but think that maybe he got the corona virus from wearing a mask. It’s good to know that Louie thinks.
Hopefully, he and his Republican members of Congress will get together for a big party to “Stand Up to the Virus.”
I think Jim Jordan and Louie Gohmert should ask Herman Cane what he thinks about the virus and whether he should have attended Trump’s rally in Tulsa massless. Oh snap, he’s dead. From the virus. Came down with it shortly after Tulsa. Good thing Trump had everyone sign those “Don’t sue me” forms, eh?
Dragon lands in half an hour. Perseverance took off earlier this week. At least there are some things this administration hasn’t screwed up.
91 Days until the election on November 3rd
171 Days until the Inauguration on January 20, 2021
PS Dragon SpaceX leaving the International Space Station
You tell it like it is alright.
My biggest worry is the USPS. I don’t want to see it privatized.
How in the hell are we going to be able to put all these pieces back together again once this pos is dragged out of the White House?
Maybe it will be a brand new world. Do I really want to be that positive?
