Don’t forget the rich assholes who think they’ve earned everything they have even though they’re still being spoon-fed by Mommy & Daddy. I have to deal with so many of them. ---

That headline is only coincidentally true. The chief of staff was trying his best to lie, and accidentally spoke the truth. By “we” of course, he was talking only about the Trump so-called admiistration. And the truth he was making sure to lie about is: “We are not going to try to control the pandemic.” ---

I have to deal with so many of them. Sounds like the American version of [fuerdai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuerdai). Interesting note is that the students at my school are fuerdai. More than one has said to us teachers, “Of course my dad is a good communist; he’s rich”. Wow. Another interesting thing is from the link: > The term has also seen limited use as a general label for anyone with rich parents and who enjoyed a privileged upbringing as a result. Non-Chinese figures, such as [Fidel Castro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_Castro) and [Donald Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump), have been described by Chinese media as _fuerdai_. ---

> [@Ziberian](#): > > It’s as if Trump tapped into a vast reservoir of resentment these people were hiding and they now feel free to dump it publicly. As has been said many, many times before, Trump isn’t the cause but rather the symptom. To put it another way, he just turned over the rock. Unfortunately, turning the rock back will do no good – once Trump has been sunk they’ll just flock around someone else. ---

In DJT World eliminating _conversation_ about something is the same as eliminating the thing. If we/I don’t talk about it then it ceases to exist. That’s certainly a much cheaper (not to mention instantaneous) way of dealing with COVID. No worries about a vaccine, or closing businesses, or shutting down schools, professional sports, churches, etc. That’s his tried-and-true method for dealing with stuff he doesn’t like: laws, rape accusations, subpoenas, facts, reality-- ignore them and functionally, it’s the same as if they aren’t there anymore. And since he’s had COVID and recovered, it is now No Big Deal.
