Look, I don’t like Joe Scarborough and I always will.

There’s something real creepy about him. I can’t tell you why I don’t like him because it’s unknown to me.  However, today gave me a little clue.

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough thinks Senate Democrats should go ahead and bail out President Donald Trump’s hotels and other properties so he’ll focus on public health instead of his own bottom line.

The “Morning Joe” host called on lawmakers to waive their objection to sending coronavirus relief to properties owned by Trump and his family, saying he’s been worried about the president’s priorities.

See the little kid in the corner throwing a fit at the birthday party because he can’t have all the ice cream?  Give him all the damn ice cream because otherwise he’s going to ruin the party for everyone.

1. I resent the hell out of being extorted by my president. Did he go Stalin on us now?  Tell ya what – give him your money, Joe.

2. How fair is this to the mom and pop who bought a La Quinta franchise?  They don’t have the Russians to bail them out.

3. The last damn thing in the world I want is Donald Trump focusing on pubic health. Seriously.

What we need now is not saving Trump’s hotels. We do, however, need better morning show hosts and the 25th amendment.

Say it, Joe.

Please meet Katherine Wall.  She is in a run-off for the Republican nomination for Texas CD22, my district.

Not only is she a quart low on estrogen, her neurons don’t synapse practically at all.

The order from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has suspended all abortions in the state except in cases of life-threatening pregnancy complications. Texas is one of multiple Republican-led states to take advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to order a halt to abortions, under the guise of freeing up medical resources.

Here’s the scary part, CD22 is an open seat.  There’s no incumbent.  So, 15 Republicans filed for the seat, including a Bush, and this person rose to the top along with out current sheriff who is a proud graduate of Liberty University and has a boy-crush on Trump.

The district went narrowly Republican in the last election and since nobody knows what’s going to happen this afternoon, much less in November, I’ll keep you up to date about my future congressvarmint.

So now Trump says we’ll be back at work by Easter.

President Trump said he wants the nation “opened up and just raring to go by Easter,” a date just over two weeks away that few health experts believe will be sufficient in containing the spread of coronavirus.

Speaking during a Fox News town hall, Trump reiterated he was eager to see the nation return to normal, even as doctors warn the nation will see a massive spike in cases if Americans return to crowded workplaces or events.

He sys things like that because he has a fever.  And he’s nuts.

I know you can’t holler fire in a crowded theater, but if you go on teevee and say that eating a frog will cure you of arthritis and some fool eats a frog and dies, is that free speech?

Easter?  Really?  You know, that’s almost as ridiculous as him assuring us that he’d watch over how the $50 gazillion is spent and expect us to trust him.

Nope.  Watching over. No Easter working.

I don’t turn on the teevee during the day.  I try to listen to music. I exercise and do a yoga session every day. I FaceTime with my grand baby.  I talk to friends on the phone. But, like everybody else, I caught a miserable case of anxiety.

So every now and then, someone sends me a hint of good news.

Michael Levitt, a Nobel laureate and Stanford biophysicist, began analyzing the number of COVID-19 cases worldwide in January and correctly calculated that China would get through the worst of its coronavirus outbreak long before many health experts had predicted.

It’s in the LA Times so that gives me hope this guy is not a Trump apologist. The numbers do look a tiny bit less dire now.

And, a bit of bad news.  Science-type people are now wondering if the loss of smell is an early indicator of Coronavirus.

Medical professionals say one indicator for the coronavirus may be a simple one: the loss of smell.

Those in the health care industry are still waiting for firm and robust data confirming that patients with COVID-19 develop this symptom shortly after contracting the disease. However, anecdotal evidence has started to show anosmia, partial or complete smell blindness, may prove to be a side-effect of the disease, some claim.

I guess this means I have to cook Brussel Sprouts every night just to check it out. Yuck.

Thanks to Epp for the heads up.

From our friend Kary, a Texan who now lives on the coast of Spain and who thinks I’m an idiot for not getting in my brother’s bass boat and heading over there right now.

For the average American the best way to tell if you have covid-19 is to cough in a rich person’s face and wait for their test results.

He’s got a point.

Oh y’all.  No. No. No.

Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick was on Fox News tonight just a few minutes ago and volunteered me to die for my grandchild.  Click right here.

He’s apparently calling old people on the phone to get them to volunteer to die to save the economy.

That is so messed up.  That is so messed up that Mr. Clean, super glue and McIver couldn’t fix it.

And no, I am not willing to die so Donald Trump can get re-elected.  And thank God that I am blessed with children who are also mortified by this.

What?  The free market and trickle down now requires human sacrifices?

Hey Dan, you go first. It was your idea.  I told you that Trump is going to get us all killed, Dan, but you wouldn’t listen.  So, instead of grandparents, how about Republican politicians volunteering to die for Trump’s screw-ups.

If there’s 100 typos in this, it’s because I am shaking.
