August 9th<\/sup> 2020<\/i><\/p>\n

Last week, a high school sophomore used her phone to snap a pic of the main hallway of her high school, jam-packed with kids the way such hallways often are, few wearing masks. The high school principal promptly suspended her, and when word got out, had to back away from that punishment in considerable confusion and indignation.<\/p>\n

Today it came to light that at that school, six students and three administrators have tested positive. It\u2019s a pretty safe bet it will wildfire through the rest of the school population. Reports of similar outbreaks are popping up all over the country already as Republicans continue to press for Americans to sicken and die in order to protect profits for the wealthy.<\/p>\n

One of our Facebook conspiracy nuts posted a video from Kristi Naom (Governor-Fascist) who was crowing that despite never having had a lockdown, her state only had 165 deaths per million people. Which is true, but that puts South Dakota 25th<\/sup> on the list of deaths per capita, surprisingly high for one of the least crowded populations in the country. And the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is this week, with 400,000 people expected to attend. Very few masks, but outdoors and, thanks to biker hygiene, social distancing will occur. Additionally, the local tribes are blocking access on reservation roads to the bikers in a vain effort to save the Great White Race from itself. So the carnage shouldn\u2019t be all that bad, comparatively speaking. Maybe only a few dozen bikers will die, and a few hundred will be sickened for life. Well, live free or die, right guys? With the GOP, that\u2019s a multiple choice question.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has stepped forth to save the country, as he has so many times already. Speaking from yet another high-priced country club golf resort that he happens to own, he declared the lack of Congressional action in order to save the country from uncontained spread of the disease and to get the economy rolling on \u201cfar left\u201d Democrats. He would \u201ccontinue unemployment payments to millions of newly unemployed Americans at a rate of $400 per week \u2013 a $200 drop from the earlier $600 payment, defer payroll tax through the end of 2020, defer student loans and interest, and extend the federal eviction moratorium.\u201d (The Guardian, today). He\u2019s lying through his teeth, of course: the Democrats passed a comprehensive bill to slow the spread and keep the economy from crashing clear back in late May, and it\u2019s been sitting in McConnell\u2019s inbox ever since. Trump is aggrieved because the Dems wouldn\u2019t surrender to the latest blackmail-disguised-as-an aid package in which the Dems let funding for Social Security and Medicare be trashed, destroying both programs, and in return, the Republicans give a great deal of public money to the rich and powerful, and tell them with a wink and a nod to spend the money on helping workers (they never do, of course) and what they don\u2019t give to the rich, Trump and his family steal for themselves. Trump said he would make the payroll tax ban permanent if reelected, which would end Social Security and Medicare once and for all. Since most of his base are ignorant old farts, that would seem counterintuitive, but they seem to be too stupid to realize they are being robbed blind, and in any event, Trump\u2019s courageous stand against coronavirus ensures that many of them will be too sick or too dead to care anyway.<\/p>\n

The Democrats didn\u2019t surrender to the blackmail, and so a frantic Trump has issued those executive orders taking funds from programs designed to help workers and order it spent on workers. But no worries: it will get stolen, because that\u2019s what Trump and the Republicans do. That\u2019s all they are good for. They, and the entities they serve, are parasites, and they are blindly and furiously blaming the host body for having the temerity to start dying on them. (We saw this on a smaller scale in the 1930s, when Republicans furiously blamed the people for staging food and rent strikes when in fact people had no money for food or rent).<\/p>\n

The Lincoln Project, a Republican think tank devoted to ending Trump\u2019s regime, summed up his pretense at saving Social Security and Medicare thusly: \u201cThis defunds Medicare. This defunds Social Security. Tax collection is just deferred. You\u2019ll still owe these taxes next year.\u201d AND you lose your pension and medical coverage eventually. What a deal, amiright?<\/p>\n

No worries; anyone who has even seen a picture of the Constitution knows that the Executive doesn\u2019t have authority to do any of that. He\u2019s going to have to stop posturing and power-grabbing and deal with the Democrats or watch the country collapse. And folks, right now we\u2019re about two weeks from collapse. I\u2019m not sure if Trump is for or against the destruction of America, so don\u2019t depend on him to save anyone. But when his XOs are struck down by the courts, he\u2019ll blame the Dems for blocking his efforts to save us all through the medical procedure known as exsanguination.<\/p>\n

There was one mordantly humorous story this week. A Trump supporter, one Caryn Schouten, told a reporter, \u201cThis is probably a very bad analogy, but I\u2019d say he [Vice President Pence] is like the very supportive, submissive wife to Trump. He does the hard work, and the husband gets the glory. If you are a hard-working Caucasian-American, your rights are being limited because you are seen as against all the races or against women, or there are people who think that because we have conservative values and we value the family and I value submitting to my husband, I must be against women\u2019s rights. I would say it takes a stronger woman to submit to a man than to want to rule over him. And I would argue that point to the death. I do not love Trump. I think Trump is good for America as a country. I think Trump is going to restore our freedoms, where we spent eight years, if not more, with our freedoms slowly being taken away under the guise of giving freedoms to all. Caucasian-Americans are becoming a minority. Rapidly.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s Trump\u2019s base in a nutshell. Pence is not only white, but he\u2019s got a submissive vagina. And that\u2019s what Trump needs from his supporters. Remember that next time you see some idiot wearing a MAGA hat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
