It's not enough that we have a pandemic running unfettered through our country. 208,021 dead so far because as a nation we simply cannot be bothered to get our shit in a single mask, er, basket, as it were. Over 7,211,000 cases of coronavirus - a number keeping us solidly in the global pole position.
That should be enough to keep us concerned and busy.
But the other viral strain wreaking havoc is that of toxic, rampant stupidity. Flat out, wetbrained, fact averse, conspiracy loving, Trump ass licking, bogeyman-around-every-corner STUPIDITY.
We have Floriduh's governor/Trump proctologist, Ron DeSantis, in charge of a state that reported the highest number of cases and deaths in the country in the past 24 hours - throwing the state open wide today. PHASE THREE! COME ONE, COME ALL! Bars, restaurants all at 100% capacity!
Oh, and as for any mask mandates in various cities? Meh. He will not support any fines or penalties - so breathe deep and unfettered Floriduh man and woman. Hell, cough in each other's mouths. Aerosol your little hearts out. It's a small der after all...
The idiocy of these moves would be astounding if it weren't coming from a man whose face shows up in a pictorial dictionary by both words mouthbreather and Trump-ass-polyp. As it is, it's just expected and sad. Many more people will become infected. Many more people will die.
You cannot stupid this virus into submission.
Then we have the Velveeta Villain - combining stupidity and disrespect in one giant crapsack. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is not even in the ground yet and he is announcing his nominee tomorrow. His leaked choice to help rule over the United States of Gilead as OfDonald? Amy Coney Barrett, a woman who is a long time subservient in the obscure Catholic offshoot, People of Praise. Uber conservative, even by Catholic standards, she subscribes to the belief that the man is the head of EVERYTHING. (Donald must have gotten half hard over that part.)
From the NYT article about her when she was being considered for an appellate position back in 2017:
Members of the group swear a lifelong oath of loyalty, called a covenant, to one another, and are assigned and are accountable to a personal adviser, called a “head” for men and a “handmaid” for women. The group teaches that husbands are the heads of their wives and should take authority over the family.
Current and former members say that the heads and handmaids give direction on important decisions, including whom to date or marry, where to live, whether to take a job or buy a home, and how to raise children.
And before anyone gets going about me banging on religion - stop. I was raised Catholic, I know what the regular manure smells like. I do not care if she is Catholic, Muslim, Jewish, Baha'i, or Zoroastrian - or any of the other 6,000 currently practiced flavors on this planet. I would not care if she is atheist. (Frankly, given a choice, I honestly would prefer that - atheists being some of the most HUMANITY driven people around.) What I do care about is that her particular strain of bullshit comes with some pretty indoctrinated (more than usual) beliefs that do not leave any room for secular jurisprudence or governance.
As it stands, she will be nominated, there will be a slog that plays out over her confirmation - all for naught - as the Senate Republicans have the majority, the votes, and the laser vision that all that matters is Roe v Wade. (And insuring LGBTQIA people are second class citizens. At best.)
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Speaking of which - Trump is grandstanding his executive order protecting those of us with pre-existing conditions. Oh, how the MAGAty base loves that! And it would be great IF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT DID NOT ALREADY PROTECT US. But just like the Veteran's Choice act he tries to steals credit for, protections for pre-existing conditions were already taken care of by his nemesis Barack Obama. And for the stupid red hats in the back - your nectarine knob of a hero is currently in court trying to get rid of the ACA that covers so many of your ignorant asses.
But today, when it comes to the gold medal for stupidity, I must award it to a woman who makes Forrest Gump look Einsteinian; who makes Sarah Palin look like a genius - the stable kind; who makes batshit anthropomorphize, sit up, and say, "We may be cray, but we ain't CRAYcray."
Meet DeAnna Lorraine, a California Republican who missed her true calling as a Real Housewife of the OC, and instead landed on "Youtube host and political commentator" (think Newsmax, The Blaze, The Daily Caller.) In the primary that took place earlier this year, she intended to give Nancy Pelosi sleepless nights, but sadly only got 1.8% of the votes cast vs Nancy's 74%. Nancy laughed really hard and slept really well.
DeAnna is a God*Country*Family conservative which means critical thinking is not her strongsuit, but boy howdy, can she go down a rabbit hole.
Her latest offering today on Twitter? In riveting, hard hitting, investigative fashion, she takes on ... Qanon? HA! Trump tax returns? Puh-leez. Thems small taters. What about Wayfair cabinets stocked with children? Pfft, old news.
No, she has discovered where the indoctrination of the masses, the hobbling of our free will, the hamstringing of our liberties in terms of MASK WEARING originated!
Please, sit down. This is a lot to take in, and I don't want anyone hurting themselves by falling over.
THE MASKED SINGER.
OK, ok, deep breaths, head between your knees, grab a paper bag, BREEEEEEEEEEATHE. BREEEEEEEEATHE.
Ready to continue? OK. Gird your loins. Seriously, whatever the eff 'gird' means, do it.
Shercrock Holmes tweeted this today:
THE MASKED SINGER. That seemingly innocent, fun, Furry fetishist dream come true, has been MASKuerading all along. It is a diabolical, Soros funded, 5G emitting, convert-us-all-to-sheep sham.
It's baaaaaaaad.
Wait. Did you hear that? Mother of GOD! My free will has been sheared!
From January 2019 when it premiered, little did we know how the "demonic" media was playing us, conditioning us to think, "Hey, masks are cool. Great fun. I WANT TO WALK AROUND LOOKING LIKE A MY LITTLE PONY COME TO LIFE!"
Jesus flapjack flipping Christ - SARAH PALIN was in on it. SHE helped indoctrinate us, make it all seem so normal. I mean there she was, cavorting around in a watercolor bear costume and mask - WAIT.
HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE!
That BEAR was a TRANSGENDER BEAR! Look at her. I MEAN LOOK. AT. HER. All that glorious PINK and BLUE!!!!!
Sure, she said she went on the show as a "walking middle finger to the haters" but COME ON. And she sang Baby Got Back. Obviously a metaphor for all the masks we would be stuffing in our back pockets in 2020 to insure we always have one. I like big butts and I cannot lie... I feel so much better about that round thing for my face that is constantly back there waiting to be sprung.
I feel like my reality just got pierced by a moose antler. Sarah Palin? Brainwashing us to accept masks? Subliminally signally her support to the trans community, too?!?!? HOW MUCH DID GEORGE SOROS PAY HER?
I mean I only get $1,000 a week to stir the shitpot. She must have made BANK.
Now, as the mockery flooded forth on her Twitter feed, she doubled then tripled down, twice invoking the mysterious, endlessly monied $oro$.
Seriously, the Soros obsession is real with these people. It can't be that the majority of people in this country just think you and your Qanon, MAGAty, empty headed brigade are full of shit, could it? Obviously we must be being paid to protest for justice, demand police accountability, wear masks to help prevent the spread of a deadly virus, and defend the Constitution. I mean who would do that shit for free? Oh wait, US. The real patriots who understand this nation, her obligations, her place on the world stage; who understand science and listen to the experts; who don't worship a mango colored, make up wearing, philandering, rapey, molesting, Adderal addicted reality TV shill.
I do that shit all day, every day, FOR FREE, DeAnna. I realize that is a shock to you people for whom everything is transactional, everything is a what's-in-it-for-me? proposition.
OK, fine - back to reality where the most of us live. DeAnna, I swear people like you should not walk free without a caregiver and a helmet. Or a big, fluffy, trans supporting bear mask.
I hate to break it to you, but The Masked Singer originated in 2015 in South Korea as King of Masked Singer. It is a franchise reality show that actively airs in 35 countries from Vietnam to Azerbaijan, from France to Hungary, from Myanmar to Mexico (Does Jorge' Soros pay them there, DeAnna?).
Let's just get down to brass tacks - you're an idiot. Period. End of story. That you manage to breath on your own must be a daily revelation. I would explain involuntary respiration to you, but thems big werds and you'd just get flustered, so we'll leave it at God-breathes-for-you-while-you-sleep, or Tweet dumb shit, duh.
Masks are not about indoctrination, you insipid fool. They are about being our cheapest, easiest tool in the fight against the spread of COVID-19, that has now killed 208,347. Masks are not about being sheep. Masks are not a big conspiracy to take away your liberty. They're JUST MASKS. And you're just really, really stupid.
Oh shit, no one tell her about kids at Halloween... (got to indoctrinate them young... George pays extra for that.)
