Yesterday's Orange Blob press conference

The conference began with a discussion of a released hostage and the efforts to get another located and released. That's great for their families and I'm happy for them.

However, Shitler always has a plan in his prepared messaging. In my opinion, yesterday he was trying to reverse the adage said by Stalin that "the death of an individual is a tragedy but the death of millions is a statistic." Or words to the effect.

I look for this type of "happy" news to continue as he tries to mask his ineptness with anecdotal stories of individual bright spots while all the while standing up a Potemkin Village disguising the suffering of tens of thousands.

We are watching true Disaster Capitalists in play

right in front of us. The Reich Wing and the Drumpt/Kushner vampire grifters see the virus not as a public health crisis, but as a once in a 100 year opportunity to cash in on the misery and death of people they consider expendable anyway.

The number is 77,000

Will the number of virus deaths exceed the number of votes that swung three states to Chump in 2016.

I certainly hope not.

As an old person a big motivation for staying alive

is to vote the Orange Blob out. I hope the voting booth fits a hospital bed with ventilator. Sorry, not that, not available.

Health care providers are

running into buildings burning with virus.

All the while being hindered and tripped by incompetent Chump stooges like Pence.

An offer you can't understand.

You are quarantined for 21 days. Pick a person from today, or in the past in there with you.

Rule: Can't be family.

I choose Groucho Marx.

Don Sutton was asked whether he put a foreign substance on the baseball.

He said absolutely not, vaseline is made in America.
