Margaret, I’m sorry to say that the Social Distancing diet is fattening. My ass is almost as big as Trump’s ego, but easier to view if I do say so myself. The man gave himself a 10 out of 10 for how he has handled this. Really? Try to get tested right now. Just try. In my book the grade is zero which is also the number of tests you are going to find unless you are in another country or a professional basketball player.
Over a week ago he told us “Anyone who wants a test can get a test.” He repeated that statement more than once. That’s odd because yesterday the Governor of Texas announced that 15,000 tests would be available by the end of the week. The end of THIS WEEK. Texas has a population of 30,000,000. That’s 30 million. 1 test for every 2,000 Texans… but anyone who wants one… Math seems to be hard for the GOP.
Until this week Fox News continued to tell people it was all a Democratic hoax. But yesterday Trump said he knew it was a Pandemic a long time ago which is odd because he told everyone at his last rally that it was a Democrat “new hoax”. Either he was lying to all his supporters then or he’s lying to all Americans now. Well, I’ve got news for all those Trump supporting Fox News viewers. You are in for a real surprise when you head to the grocery store for toilet paper this week.
Trump also calls this the Chinese Virus because finding blame for a pandemic is very Trumpian. He blames everything on Mexico, China, Obama or fake news. It’s as if he hasn’t been President for over three years. You know what Obama had to do with COVID19? Nothing. Honestly, if this really was called the Chinese Virus it would have a Trump clothing label on it and his moron of a first daughter would be trying to get it trademarked. The man has no shame and the sense God gave a goose. My apology to geese.
A real President would have declared COVID19 a public health emergency within a week of the first US case being detected. In a fully functioning government, the first test to detect the new virus would have been approved by the FDA two days later and shipments of the new CDC test would have gone out within 2 weeks. You know – EXACTLY HOW THEN PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA HANDLED THE H1N1 VIRUS.
But not Donald Trump. It’s over two months since the first case in the US and we are just now getting any type of major testing underway. Asked whether he took responsibility for the apparent lag in widespread testing, Trump said, “No, I don’t take responsibility at all because we were given a — a set of circumstances, and we were given rules, regulations and specifications from a different time.”
Well I call BULLSHIT. This Asshat fired the U.S. pandemic response team in 2018 to cut costs. And that is a fact. Here are some other facts:
- December 31: Health officials in Wuhan, China, post a notice about investigating a pneumonia outbreak. The World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledges that it “was informed of a cluster of cases of pneumonia of unknown cause.”
- January 14: Two cases of Coranavirus (COVID19) reported in the US.
- January 21: Dr. Nancy Messonnier, a senior CDC official handling the response to respiratory diseases, tells reporters, “We do expect additional cases in the United States and globally.”
- January 22: Trump says he isn’t worried that the outbreak could turn into a global pandemic, “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
- January 24: Trump posts his first of many misleading tweets about the coronavirus. He praises the Chinese government for its “transparency” handling the outbreak and says, “it will all work out well.”
- January 25: The WHO says there are more than 1,000 confirmed cases worldwide.
- January 31: Two weeks after the first reported cases in the US, Trump administration declares a public health emergency in the United States because of the coronavirus and blocks foreigners who visited China from entering the country.
- February 1: The WHO says there are more than 10,000 confirmed cases worldwide.
- February 6: The WHO says there are more than 25,000 confirmed cases worldwide.
- February 7: Trump tweets that China “will be successful” in stopping the coronavirus, “especially as the weather starts to warm & the virus hopefully becomes weaker, and then gone.”
- February 10: At a political rally in New Hampshire, Trump mentions the coronavirus and says it “looks like, by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”
- February 14: One month since first reported cases in US
- February 15: The WHO says there are more than 50,000 confirmed cases worldwide.
- February 19: The WHO says there are more than 75,000 confirmed cases worldwide.
- February 24: Trump tweets, “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA.”
- February 25: Messonnier, the CDC official, says it is inevitable that the coronavirus will spread in the US and that Americans need to prepare for disruptions to their daily lives.
- February 25: Trump tells reporters during his trip to India that the virus is “a problem that’s going to go away.”
- February 26: At a White House press conference, Trump contradicts the assessment from the CDC that the virus will definitely spread throughout the US. Trump says, “I don’t think it’s inevitable. I think that there’s a chance that it could get worse, a chance it could get fairly substantially worse, but nothing’s inevitable.”
- February 27: The WHO says there are more than 82,000 confirmed cases worldwide.
- February 28: At another political rally Trump tells supporters, “The Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. They’re politicizing it.” Then Trump called the coronavirus “their new hoax.”
- February 29: Health officials in Washington state announce the first coronavirus death inside the United States. Forty-six (46) days after the first reported cases in the US, Trump conceded that “additional cases in the United States are likely.”
- March 5: Vice President and Chief Brown Noser Mike Pence admits we don’t have enough tests.
- March 6: Trump lies (again) and says “Anyone who wants a test, can get a test.”
- March 14: Two months since first reported cases in the US.
- March 18: Sixty-four (64) days after the first reported cases in the US and we are still asking “Where are the tests?”
- March 19: Global cases approach a quarter of a million. Cases in the US approach 10,000. Over 150 Americans have died. Many Hospitals report that tests are arriving broken or with incomplete parts.
(Sidenote: My idiot Senator from Texas, John Cornyn – the other idiot Senator from Texas I should say – says that viruses like Swine Flu are China’s fault because they eat weird food. He then goes home to have some bacon-wrapped jalapenos and bison burgers. At the same time Ted Cruz emerges from self-quarantine but admits that he was never tested. Ted Cruz doesn’t play basketball professionally and I guess beating Jimmy Kimmel doesn’t get you a free test kit.)
We are all now hoarding toilet paper and social distancing. Millions of people are sheltering in place. Schools and universities are closed. Tens of thousands of Uber and Lyft drivers, artists, theatres, restaurants, clubs, small businesses, large businesses will go under. The stock market is heading south faster than my friends Marvin and Fannie Stein do from New York in October. And our Supreme Leader Trump is most concerned about saving the Cruise Ship and Airline industries. The man is an asshat.
Contrary to popular belief, I was born after the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. I’m really not sure what to tell you. I would imagine, however, that social distancing means it’s ok to drink alone.

Helen, it is like that old “Airport” comedy. “I picked a bad time to stop drinking.” This is serious stuff and we can no longer mess around. We missed six weeks when we should have been investing in things we would need rather than naysaying it and selling stocks like my Senator did. As for the whitewashing now going on that the president never did downplay, I just wrote the following comment on another blog, so I will past it here.
Per his biographers, Trump’s mentor Roy Cohn told him to never apologize and sue everyone. This is yet one more example of too many. He cannot say he was caught with his shorts down and downplayed the pandemic. He even denies saying he called it a hoax, when there is on camera calling it a hoax.
But, on the latter Cohn teaching, Trump’s campaign has sued TV stations to not air the truthful ad that shows him downplaying the pandemic. This is modus operandi. Lie. Lie about the lie when the lie does not work. Sue anyone who says you are lying.
Michael Cohen, Trump’s attorney and fixer, said many egregious things under oath, which simply have been ignored by Trump sycophants. I quote often the main theme that he said “Donald Trump is a racist, he is a con artist and he is a cheat.” But, what Cohen also said under oath is he was instructed on more than 500 occasions to send cease and desist orders to entities that had less flattering information in its possession. They ranged from unflattering footage of “The Apprentice” to colleges or prep schools with bad grades to sexual assault accusations, etc.
But, the most egregious thing Trump attorney’s did is sue people to avoid paying them for services rendered to his properties. This man of the people has screwed contractors, sheet rockers, painters, electricians, plumbers, etc. on countless occasions. Before the election, out of over 4000 lawsuits, over 200 were to screw the common worker. These folks had to take less or file for bankruptcy.
Thomas Wells, another attorney who worked for Trump also said many things in an op-ed piece before the election. My favorite is “Donald Trump lies everyday, even about things of no consequence. ” But, he also said Trump “always” claimed bad service to avoid paying people. To me, that shows Trump is a cheap SOB. But, don’t take my word or Wells’ word on this. A contractor in a voter panel in 2016 told the facilitator about working with Trump companies, “The word on the street is get your money up front.” Keith

Like others, I have gven up hope of being tested. I’ve been sick for 3 weeks, starting a few days after being a cashier at an international conference, I didn’t travel — others traveled and handed their money and germs to me. However, since I wasn’t personally on a plane or ship, the state refused to allow the local ER to test me. I was tested for flu and 9 other things, all negative. They sent me home with antibotics, thoughts and prayers. Yep! That’ll work on a virus! NOT!!!

If they do have any common sense. It is not persuadable. Except through your loins. I doubt their is any common sense among anyone, not just trump. Everyone in position or authority to contain and properly follow the nations very specific, detailed, and basically, no way to f*** it up, as had a group effort in f***ing it up! I purpose that we get some attractive volunteers to go to congress and suggest the correct way to proceed from this day forward. Because wether they have
any common sense left or not. It’s worth a shot. They obviously, have no plans to actually follow their own documented protocols. So our only hope is to fool them into doing so.

Thanks ever so much Helen. We are facing dire times. The “greatest country on earth” was caught unprepared and flat-footed during this crisis and blame is being cast elsewhere. It is so tragic. Let us pray for us all here in the U.S. and let us pray for this entire planet. The virus, I dare say, is unable to distinguish between a Chinese or an American and has proven it knows no borders. Hopefully, some politician will chance upon your blog and design a campaign ad that uses the facts you detailed so well and so brilliantly. Margaret and Helen, take care of yourselves.

If it wasn’t before it should be more than obvious now that the Golden Gibbon cares only for the $. Hence, he didn’t do a dman thing when he should have. It may be justifiable to blame all the resulting American deths on him. I am out and about CAREFULLY. I stay far away from people I can see such as in the supermarket which now has an unusal array of food and a whole lot of empty shelves. I work in an exceedingly small office and we do not deal face to face with the public. No one s sneezing or coughing and there is a whole lot of hand washing going on. The people in the mental health profession are being swamped by their regular patients who are firghtened to death as well as people who would like to become their patients. There are people soliciting small change at the entrances of supermarkets etc. who have lost their jobs, homes, and even spouses and significant others. I bet this crowd insreaes by the week! There is so little trffic that when I do drive I can actually see the countryside! Turns out it is attractive! And gas prices per gallon have fallen! I guess we have to take good news where we find it. And I do’t think that i will ever be tested. Trump has seen to that. My daughter down south who is now hoe schooling her kids also has given up hiope of being tested. Given up hope. Got that? He husband is also working from home while she tries to handle 3 kids, all of different ages and school grades in the next room. I know we will come out of this hopefully wiser and perhaps morally stronger. I know I am looking forward to voting in the next Presidential election and it won’t be for Trump!

I bought some 153 proof grain alcohol at the liquor store today [I’d called and asked if it was available and asked they save two bottles, the limit, and have it ready to pick up] Since we can’t buy hand sanitizer or isopropyl alcohol anymore and we need to protect ourselves, I’ll use the booze to make my own sanitizing hand stuff. Regular vodka won’t work, it’s only 40% alcohol. The grain alcohol is 77% alcohol. I hope I can keep from drinking it after listening to the orange fool living in the WH spout his lies. If he “knew” there’d be a pandemic 2 months ago, why no preparations or warnings? Anyway, I’m sheltering in place, trying to get out for solitary walks daily, talking on the phone a lot and hoping Covid 19 tests will be available before we all become infected.
