It's Never EVER His Fault

At times like these it's very important to have a thoughtful, calm, intelligent, proactive person in charge.

Someone who has a complete grasp of the situation, who defers to experts, works tirelessly to solve problems, and is able to take the necessary steps to keep the populace from descending into a panicking mob.

Someone whose demeanor screams competence, whose words reflect a common human decency, and a compassion for those suffering.

Someone who is accountable and responsible.

Instead, we have what appears to be a heavily sedated orangutan.

An orangutan who has gone bankrupt several times.

Not his fault.

Who has been a serial adulterer.

Not his fault.

Who has been accused of rape by a number of women.

Not his fault.

Who gutted our pandemic response team.

Not his fault.

Who hasn't a clue about governing.

Not his fault.

Who doesn't give a damn about anything except his own appetites.

Not his fault. 

The one unchanging constant about our heavily sedated orangutan is that...

IT'S NEVER EVER HIS FAULT.

He Is The Real Hoax

One of the definitions of the word hoax is "a fraud".

You know, like a businessman who brags about his acumen, but in reality is a multiple bankrupt, who cheats his sub contractors at every turn, who has blown through the many hundreds of millions that he inherited, and has only survived by laundering money for Russian crooks.

A guy who brags about his "genius", but is obviously a halfwit. And that's probably being insulting to all the other halfwits.

The same guy claims to be an expert in many fields, including diplomacy, warfare, health care, weather, and finance, but when push comes to shove, he really doesn't know much about anything besides self-aggrandizement. That he's an expert in.

This extremely "manly" man buddies up to any dictator he encounters, fawning like a debutante on her first date, and then folds at the first sign of trouble.

In addition, he's the phoniest of "Christians", a racist, sexist, xenophobic twat, who spends his days lying about everything under the sun, and blaming others for his never ending list of failures.

The idea that this person is equipped to lead us through the rough times ahead is laughable. Tragic, but laughable.

That's the real hoax. A walking, talking, snake oil salesman masquerading as a President.

Health Care Isn't Really That Complicated

Countries all around the world have more effective, more efficient, and much CHEAPER, health care than we do.

England, France, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Canada, Germany, Australia, for example.

If we weren't so stuck in our arrogance, our mythical American exceptionalism, our so-called "leaders" kowtowing to insurance companies and Big Pharma, and, most of all, our ridiculous fear of anything labelled "socialism", we could have a perfectly functioning national health care system that covers every U. S. citizen from cradle to grave.

Just by simply copying anyone of the aforementioned countries' systems. It ain't that hard.

But half of our elected officials (hint: they all have R's by their names) just don't give a damn about the majority of our citizens. Because they only care about the people who have money to contribute to their re-election campaigns. And those people only care about keeping their own taxes low.

So we, the richest country in the world, have to stumble along, seemingly forever, with a very expensive piecemeal system that is totally inadequate for the vast majority of our citizens.

USA! USA! USA!

Poor People Don't Deserve Anything

It is by now patently obvious that that is the motto of the modern Republican Party.

(They're all good Christians, by the way. Just ask 'em!)

And not just a motto, an operating principle.

(They're all good Christians, by the way. Just ask 'em!)

No subsidies for takers! Health care, after all, is only for people who can afford it.

Good schools, too. Honestly, if you don't care enough about your children to make a lot of money to support them, well, why should the state care about them? Tell you what, we'll give you vouchers for private school. What more could you ask for? Oh, by the way, the vouchers will only cover a fraction of the cost of a private school, while diverting money from public schools, but beggars can't be choosers.

And if you want clean air and clean water, well, move somewhere with clean air and clean water.

Or be prepared to pay for it, you fucking cheapskate.

Tired of the cops hassling you and yours? Make some money, move to a better neighborhood, and maybe the cops will overlook your skin color...Just kidding! That'll never happen.

So stop your pathetic whining, get with the program, and enjoy living in the best country there ever was or ever could be.

(They're all good Christians, by the way. Just ask 'em!)

Let 'Em Die

So now, after all these years, we finally get to see what the Republican version of healthcare, let's call it Trump(Doesn't)Care, looks like:

If you're rich, here's some more! Big surprise there.

If you're middle class, thanks for your vote, but you're more or less on your own. Good luck!

And if you're poor, well, if you get sick, better find some money from somewhere, or better still, just die quickly.

Tired of winning yet?

It's always a treat to watch billionaires and millionaires take things away from poor people.

Education, health care, a living wage, safe workplaces, primacy over your body, clean air and water--whatever.

Most of the people who do this are proud to identify as "Christians."

That's really very funny when you stop to think about it.
