And a better tailor.
Jesus Christ. He actually wrote that?
WTF is a “senior military officer”
This can’t have possibly come from the White House.
It likely did but no way Der Bungle wrote it. One of his speechwriters probably did.
I knew we where fucked with the 5 year old in charge, but it’s clear that no one is in charge. Not at all. They can’t even get a fucking 5 year old to mind his manners. Or check his fucking homework.
Speaking of senior military officers, when is someone in those press conferences going to call him on that ridiculous story about the military having no ammunition?
It’s for people who are citizens of the US, but not residents of any state.
Yeah, I know that didn’t make sense.
Finally, some recognition for Puerto Ricans! Jared Kushner, we never would have guessed you had their backs!
J/K, of course.
By the way, Seth Meyers (and/or his writers) are absolutely on fire with their characterizations of everyone’s favorite Nepotism poster boy. On April 1, Seth called Jared
And last night, it was
I suspect they’re on a roll; tune in Monday for the next new show!
The Guardian on the second description:
Where the fuck have you been for the last three years?
Right. And there’s no way that’s true either. Look at the clusterfuck the Clusterfuck did in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico’s residents are citizens of the United States, but they do not reside in any state. Same with Guam and a couple of other places, including Washington, DC.
Right here with the rest of you suffering from Trump. But I thought for sure that that might have been a spoof.
No, I’m not expecting anything to improve, but since that did not come promptly and directly out of his pie hole, I thought that SOMEONE might have the ability to straighten up his bullshit before it hit Whitehouse.gov official website.
Scary thing is, someone probably did.
Meanwhile, the Republicans allow Trump to continue disassembling oversight of his administration:

It’s not just Atkinson who gets this message; it’s other inspectors general.
There are fewer and fewer guardrails.
I’ll say it again: I want COVID-19 to be bad. A total fucking disaster. I want the economy and the health system to collapse. I wish it didn’t have to come to this, but it does.
Yes, I’m sick. But I’m no more sick than the millions of mother fuckers who are willfully living a lie just so they can have their America back. I want the system to collapse so that there might be collective outrage and an awakening before it’s too late.
But I concede it might already be too late.
How many million human lives do you consider to be acceptable losses in order to ensure Joe Biden’s election, you screeching, amoral, heartless Chicken Little?
Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there! You think asahi just wants Biden to win the election? That’s hilarious!
Get a clue, Smapti: the United States of America is a shithole led by a shithead who is not just allowing Americans to die needlessly, he’s the direct cause of it. All that stuff they peddled for decades about liberty and justice for all and freedom was all just bullshit meant to keep people hungry and wanting, reaching for a brass ring they can never grab. They’re winning and they’re not gonna stop what they’re doing, ever, unless people actually force them to. And I mean FORCE them to.
Agreed.
That doesn’t justify wishing for “the economy and the health system to collapse”, because the net result of that would be millions of preventable deaths.
The current so-called “system” with an ignorant, evil buffoon in “charge” is ALSO going to lead to millions of preventable deaths. We have the various states and large cities scrambling for a limited pool of resources while the oligarchs laugh over them bidding up the cost for what is necessary for life. The country is run by people who really do value money over human lives, from the crowd in DC to Florida ministers who keep holding weekly assemblies with people shoulder to shoulder in a time of plague because they want to keep the tithes flowing into their pocket.
We are out of good choices. There are only bad choices left.
Oh, by the way -
The economy has ALREADY collapsed. The healthcare system is on track to do the same by next week. It’s not a matter of wishing, it’s a matter of reality. Wake up and smell the coffee that shortly most Americans will no longer be able to buy.
Cool.
So, the number of megadeaths you consider an acceptable loss is…?
You are a gigantic sack of shit, and if there is any trace of justice in the universe, you will be one to soon die from it.
You can call me whatever you want, but what I am saying is pretty accurate: we are a country that is asleep at the wheel and we have been for a long time.
We cannot go back to ‘normal.’ We need to fundamentally change the balance of power, fundamentally make a fairer economy, and have a healthcare system that provides care for all. We’re not going to have that by thinking happy thoughts, cheering healthcare workers, making viral videos, and what not. That doesn’t change shit. We need radical action and the only thing that will change it is a national crisis, and it has finally arrived.
But as I said, even this might not be enough.
We should have thought about that before we elected an administration full of incompetent, corrupt sociopaths. We should have been thinking about healthcare as a national priority long before now - it shouldn’t take a once in a century pandemic to make us wake up. But I guess it does.
As Broom said, it’s not a matter of wishing; this is our reality. I just hope that maybe that Trump’s voters start feeling the kind of pain they’ve been laughing at or shrug off when they see brown children in cages. I’m tired of living in a country where we have to pay for their willful ignorance.
It’s a matter of time before Trump Land turns on Dr. Fauci for speaking the truth.

It’s a terminating offense to contradict a conspiracy theory president. That was a Navy Captain’s crime as well.
You might not have to. You may think that you are sneering from up on high from all the useless masses of mooks that are dying from this, but you are actually right down there with them. You are at as much risk of dying as anyone else, and thanks to this virus you are cumming in your pants over you could draw your last watery breath before the end of this year.
