The Caravan; mobilizing 5,200 federal troops to the border; executive order to end birthright citizenship.  Besides the “…gleeful cruelty and dickishness,” as Jon Stewart describes Trump’s behavior, these moves are simply pandering to the Knuckledragger GOP Base to drive them to the polls. This “crisis” is, yes, I’m going to say it, “Trumped up” by Trump doing the bidding of his enfant terrible aide, Stephen Miller, resident white supremacist.  It’s all nonsense, based on lies and exaggeration.  On November 7, all this will go back into the normal background noise, just like in 2014 when the Ebola outbreak in the US and ISIS fighters on the border ceased to exist on November 5, the day after election day.

After much consideration and contemplation, I have determined that the American electorate is stupid.  It has to be whipped up into a frenzy to just go to the neighborhood polling place to cast a vote.  Apparently, politicians have figured out that scared voters are active voters.

Stupid.

Yesterday, the Trump administration announced that it would like to guarantee an Ebola outbreak in the US this year.  As we all know, Ebola is a highly contagious and deadly disease.  During the last African outbreak, the US lead the way with other OECD countries to fund prevention, treatment, and screening at the source to protect our own shores.  We only had one actual case of Ebola and a couple of American doctors treated here who had contracted the disease in Africa.

Welp, ol’ Trumpie thinks all that disease prevention stuff is a waste of money, and to make it easier for Ebola to reach our shores next time, he’s just slashed 80 PERCENT of disease outbreak prevention spending from the CDC’s budget.  Isn’t that just a fine idea?  Yeah, I think the same thing.

MAKE AMERICA SICK AGAIN!
