JUST FYI...THIS POST IS POLITICAL



       

They, whoever they is, say you shouldn’t talk politics, but sometimes, I just cannot help myself. I couldn’t believe our idiot of a president (note, I did not capitalize that word) actually told people to inject Lysol to protect themselves from coronavirus. And, Lysol had to widely post information telling people not to inject or drink Lysol.  Sheesh.

          Then, I received an email from a friend that contained a picture of tRump and his mother in his far younger years. The quote that accompanied the photo was:  

“Yes, he’s an idiot with zero common sense, and no social skills, but he IS my son. I just hope he never goes into politics. He’d be a disaster.” 

          Now, I don’t know if his mother, Mary Anne Trump, actually said that. I didn’t go to Snopes or any of the other sites that would indicate if this was a true statement by her. The fact of the matter is I believe she must have had a crystal ball because she was totally right, he is a HUGE DISASTER!!!

          Other bits and pieces I’ve heard over the last month include he was provided with information the end of November about the as yet to be realized pandemic. Information was included in his daily briefing in January about the upcoming pandemic. Also, let me say I didn’t get this information from FOX news, but Good Morning America on ABC.

Throughout the whole of 2020, tRump has made statement after statement that’s been wrong, idiotic, stupid, whatever. In fact, I received an email from a friend that catalogued the arrival of coronavirus and what he did or said. Here’s that list if you’re interested:

April 4th - The US leads the world, over 308,000 COVID-19 cases, 8,500 Americans died. “Maybe we could allow special, for churches, maybe we could talk about it. Maybe we could allow them, with separation outside, on Easter.

          I copied and pasted the list exactly as it was sent to me. When I read it over, I simply couldn’t believe, and yet it’s right here in black and white, what a huge example he is as a totally clueless leader. Or, as the friend who sent the email said, “Yup, a real take charge kind of guy. Rallies and golf…oy vey!!!”

          Then, there’s this quote from an article “’Stable genius’ or dangerous ignoramous?” in The Washington Post by Jennifer Rubin,

Like a con man peddling patent medicine, Trump dispenses false hope and crackpot remedies, thereby promoting disdain for scientific inquiry and valid research. Once more, one is compelled not only to shudder that such an intellectually unfit man could be president but that legions of right-wing hucksters and sycophants could regularly contort themselves not merely to defend his blabbering but also to lionize him."

          You might also be interested in looking at an article which was forwarded to me by another friend and can be found in the link I'll include shortly. It's entitled, "British Writer Pens the Best Descriptionof Trump I've Read." It's spot on and can be found here:

          Enjoy!!!

          There, I’ve had my say. I believe the majority of my readers will probably agree with what I've posted and be interested in the information I cut and pasted into this post. Of course, there may be others who disagree with my opinion. It’s my hope they’ll read the above and take into consideration the Lysol “joke,” or was it “sarcasm,” tRump made and really think about who they want to see in the White House come January 2021.

          For me, I’m hoping to get a bumper sticker (a big one) that says, “Give me Biden or give me Bleach.” Join me won’t you!!!
