Okay, so when they announced that Trump did not have coronavirus, I didn’t believe it. I can’t imagine why I wouldn’t except that his doctors lie about him as a matter of routine, leaving me to think if they said he didn’t have it, he did.

Okay, now hear me out. I think there was supposed to be a second part to the announcement.  I think the reason they postponed him having the test is that they wanted to say that not only did he not have it, it was discovered that he is the only person on earth to have natural antibodies to coronavirus.  He is the Henrietta Lacks of coronavirus and he – and he alone – can save America.

But then, the deal with the German scientists fell through, leaving Trump with no magic cure.

That, my friends, is the only damn way I can come up with an explanation of why the United States would want to buy a scientist’s cure and not share it with anyone else in the world.

Thanks, Republicans, for this gem of a man.

Thanks to Wayne for sending this reminder.  Click the little one to see the big one.

Okay, so we’re trying to get groceries and wonder what we’re going to do with grandma if she gets sick.  We are looking at our retirement disappear with the stock market.  We are trying to get tested for this crap and wondering if we’ll be left in the hallway to die because a younger or healthier person comes to the hospital sick and needs a ventilator.

And our president this morning?

He’s rejoicing over the remote possibility of more Benghazi investigations.
