Criminal Recklessness


You really have got to wonder what the hell is going on in the mind of the president of the United States. In the midst of a pandemic that has already ended the lives of over 110,000 Americans, this sociopathic knucklehead is planning an indoor rally of thousands of people in six days at Tulsa, Oklahoma. To make matters worse he is insisting on no social distancing for that event. Wait, it gets better: facemasks are optional.

What could possibly go wrong?
 
His crew had originally planned on the rally taking place on the nineteenth - Juneteenth - a day when African Americans observe the anniversary of the day where freedom finally came to the last people to be held in bondage in America. The day also coincided with the 99th anniversary of the worst race massacre in American history, which took place in - WAIT FOR IT! -  Tulsa, Oklahoma. Some were accusing Trump of deliberately choosing that day as a slap in the face to the descendants of those slaves, but I don't believe that to be the case. The Trump Mob are mentally impaired when it comes to the subject of American history. I really doubt that any of them were smart enough to make the connection.

There is no doubt in my mind that a lot of those macho fans of der Donald will show up at that Tulsa rally in six days without any masks. This is the kind of stupidity we're dealing with from these folks. Surely because of this criminal recklessness on the part of Trump, there will most certainly be a spike in the number of COVID-19 cases in that state. Unlike here in New York where the number of new infections and deaths are in a steep decline in recent days, the southwest has seen a surge in the amount of cases in the past week or so. Trump's ego needs a Nuremburg-style love fest of devout worshipers. That is what the disgusting little thug thrives on. It's apparent that a lot of dead bodies of American citizens mean nothing to him. I don't know if he understands this or not, but this will mean a lot less people casting their ballots for him in November. Or maybe there's a method to this madness.

Why on earth would Donald Trump do something as horribly insane as this during this pandemic?  My theory is that perhaps he's hoping that the expected autumn second wave will be so catastrophic that he'll use it as an excuse to shut down the national elections. Could Donald Trump seriously be that completely evil? Honestly, I'm not certain of the answer to that question. But this I know beyond a doubt: I've studied this guy long enough to know that there is just about nothing he wouldn't be capable of.

Whatever happens it's a given that this is going to turn out badly. The blame for the number of deaths from this virus can be placed squarely at the feet of Donald Trump. He was told by the experts as far back as January of the seriousness and danger of the moment - and he chose to ignore it. Where I come from that is what is known as criminally negligent homicide. On the day after the 2016 election, a lot of us predicted that a Trump presidency would be terrible for the country, but who among us could have predicted that our luck would get this bad?

Be safe.

The American Left Has Lost It's Mind


"Among self-described liberals, we’re watching an intellectual revolution. It feels liberating to say after years of tiptoeing around the fact, but the American left has lost its mind. It’s become a cowardly mob of upper-class social media addicts, Twitter Robespierres who move from discipline to discipline torching reputations and jobs with breathtaking casualness.

The leaders of this new movement are replacing traditional liberal beliefs about tolerance, free inquiry, and even racial harmony with ideas so toxic and unattractive that they eschew debate, moving straight to shaming, threats, and intimidation. They are counting on the guilt-ridden, self-flagellating nature of traditional American progressives, who will not stand up for themselves, and will walk to the Razor voluntarily..."
