Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

Yesterday’s joy ride around Walter Reed yesterday was SO bad and SO stupid, that even Don Jr. said how his father is acting is crazy.  He said the incessant tweeting and crazy talk is really concerning, but Ivanka and Jarad think everything is dandy, and Jr. apparently doesn’t have the stones to act on his own.  The House of Trump is crumbling, and soon there will be stories of Trump running around the WH in a night shirt screaming about the large spiders chasing him.  But Tucker Carlson says we’re being mean to his Dear Leader.

Trump’s joyride to see his supporters yesterday pretty much hacked off everybody with synapsing neurons.

A doctor:

Dr. Leana Wen published a related tweet, adding that if Trump were her patient, in an unstable condition with a contagious illness, and he suddenly left the hospital to go for a car ride that endangered himself and others, “I’d call security to restrain him then perform a psychiatric evaluation to examine his decision-making capacity.”

And staff.

Pointing to yesterday’s joy ride, Axios reportedyesterday, “Two senior White House staffers said they thought the P.R. stunt was selfish, and compounded a weekend of horrible decisions.”

And Secret Service:

A growing number of Secret Service agents have been concerned about the president’s seeming indifference to the health risks they face when traveling with him in public, and a few reacted with outrage to the trip, asking how Trump’s desire to be seen outside his hospital suite justified the jeopardy to agents protecting him.

Frankly, that’s just Trump.  I don’t know why anybody is surprised.

Kayleigh McEnany just tested positive.  She says she has no symptoms.

Y’all, I’m getting real conspiratorial about all this and if Trump goes home today I can only suspect that either they were lying about him having it, which would mean that Jesus saved only him out of hundreds of thousands, or he’s a whiney little simpering ninny baby with a cold.

They have pretty much shut down the press shop.

Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and two of her deputies, Chad Gilmartin and Karoline Leavitt, have tested positive for COVID-19 since President Donald Trump announced his own infection, and CNN’s Kaitlan Collins said that had cut into operations.

So …. just like always except for a shortage of lies.

I understand that Tom Cotton is from Arkansas and well, you know, they have different habits and mores than other people do.  I get that, and most of the time I can excuse him when he says something just whacky.

He was on Fox News insisting that this little Covid in high places the Republicans all gave each other is gonna be over by the time they vote for a new Supreme Court later this month.

But, he carefully explains, if it’s not …

“But if that’s not the case, Maria, there is a long and venerable tradition of ill or medically infirmed senators being wheeled in to cast critical votes on the Senate floor.”

Wheeled in?  I can see where that would work for a broken leg or even someone after surgery.  But, I have no idea how an intubated person would vote. Or, someone who is contagious with something awful.

If I was a Republican and thank you, Sweet Jesus, I’m not, but if I were I’d be a little hesitant to screw with Ruth Bader Ginsberg again.  Apparently, she’s got some turbo charged bitch dust.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

Heads up! Here is the new Fort Bend Republican Headquarters. I’m not joking. It’s off Crabb River Road and used to be Z-Bar – a place where if you didn’t bring a gun, they rented you one at the door.

But now it’s “Freedom Hall: A Home Built by Conservative Values.” I have pictures to prove it. Best I can figure that means it’s an event venue for your third marriage, a p***y grabbing practice arena, and a Covid distribution center.

t’s at Crabb River Road and the freeway. Bunches of big candidate signs are out front and the place looks to be filled with stacks of yard signs that people won’t put in their yards.

Conservative values? Trump must have taught them how to steal the money to buy it.
