Every once in a while, the Gameshow President inadvertently blurts out the truth during his streams of unconsciousness. It happened again this last week, when he admitted this:

“If we did very little testing, [America] wouldn’t have the most cases.  So, in a way, by doing all of this testing, we make ourselves look bad.”

There it is.  Trump has been promising millions of “beautiful tests” since February. It’s mid-May, and we’re still testing at extremely anemic rates.  In Texas, for example, our current testing rate is 2%, and that rate ignores possible multiple tests who have already tested positive.  Every single medical expert I’ve heard speak repeats the mantra that massive testing is mandatory for opening economies.  Without it, we’re all flying blind.

The problem? Trump is playing a gameshow and in this game, the smallest number wins.  The prize is another 4 years to tear the US apart and avoid felony indictments from the State of New York.  We’ve been calling this for months, and, once again Trump admits that he doesn’t want testing.  He’s literally risking millions of lives for a win.

Trump spent Mother’s Day on Twitter, claiming that Barack Obama committed “the biggest political crime in American history, by far.”

“The biggest political crime in American history, by far!” the president wrote in a tweet accompanying a conservative talk show host’s claim that Barack Obama “used his last weeks in office to target incoming officials and sabotage the new administration”.

The tweet echoed previous messages retweeted by Trump, which earned rebukes for relaying conspiracy theories.

By the way, Trump also wants the New York Times and the Washington Post to return their Pulitzer Prizes for the stories on Russian interference in the election.

I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but I think Trump might be a sore loser in November. I think he’s got this whining stuff down to an art form and we never get to hear the end of it.

I think the media needs to take an oath.  When Trump loses in November, they’ll quit reporting whatever the hell he says.

Melinda Gates, co chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said that she would give Trump a D- grade on how he’s handled coronavirus.

Well, I imagine she was grading on the curve with Stalin, Pol Pot, Attila the Hun, Ivan the Terrible, Nixon the Crazy, Queen Mary I, Mussolini, Mao, and other folks so horrible that even Robespierre got a D+.

Gates cited, “a lack of a coordinated, national response.” She said governors were stepping up with “50 different homegrown state solutions,” instead of a national response coming from the top. And that was the good part of it.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

From the Quorum Report tonight.  Remember the Dallas hairdresser who got herself a trip to the pokey for contempt of court?

Well, ….

It was a publicity stunt from the start. I’m sure the big media will have it tomorrow.

Look, I’m not saying that I am happy to hear about Pence’s Press Secretary Katie Miller having coronavirus.

Stephen Miller, Trump’s Resident Nazi, is married to her so that woman has been punished enough.

But maybe having this virus dance its deadly cha cha around Trump Himself will get him to pay attention to it.
