You’re not wrong about the imagery, but istm that such lighthearted levity is inappropriate to the seriousness of the situation facing our country. (Forgive me if my tone seems curt; I’ve been bingeing ST:TOS, and finding myself adopting a Spock-like demeanor at times…) ---

“These massive companies” gave us thalidomide, DES, Belviq and aprotinin, so why don’t those nib-nosing bureaucrats at the FDA just get the hell out of the way? ---

Ya know, I wasn’t even gonna bother to vote this year (My state will no doubt go Biden. And I sure as HELL would not vote for ‘Shit Gibbon’), but hell, I can literally mail it in. Why not? Only take a few seconds… Fuck it! I’m gonna vote Dem for first time ever! One more grain of sand for that landslide! ---

If he’s not going to let the FDA attempt to ensure the safety of the vaccine, maybe the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program should consider bumping their excise tax from $0.75/dose to $1.50/dose until the pandemic is past. We don’t want that program running dry. ---

Hey, I’ve got my vaccine. Just mix together bleach, hydroxychloroquine, colliloidal silver, infected blood plasma, and bovine growth hormone according to my secret recipe and you are good to go. Yes there are reports of side effects such as painful lingering death, but its all ready to be manufactured today. All I need is a few hundred mil to start production and we can have it out the door by November 2nd. ---

The downside of this deal is that I’m out a couple hundred million. The upside is that you probably won’t deliver anything, so no one will die from your “cure”. ---

So, Trump is begging for money with a call-in pledge program. Gives an 800 number on the commercial. Wonder what happen if everybody called that line and just wasted time and not pledging? My, what a dreadful thought! ---

Today? Today, he amused me, actually. Watching him get boo’d at RBG’s funeral was a thing of beauty. Yeah, it was unseemly and undignified, but tough titties. Trump is the practically the dictionary definition of unseemly and undignified. ---

I have to admit that, loathe him as I do, it bothered me. There’s a time and a place for everything. On the steps of the Supreme Court, in the presence of RBG’s flag-draped coffin, is not the time or the place.
