You may have already won, the good doctor was absent again today. Working for Trump means agreeing with Trump’s lies with a straight face, no exceptions.
So, how many people WILL trump KILL just to get re-elected? AND, how many MILLIONS will he SKIM OFF THE “Bailout Slush Fund”, and channel DIRECTLY INTO HIS OWN POCKETS under the LIE of "Helping his Hotel Chain???
On Monday, Democrats blocked for the second time a massive $1.8 trillion stimulus bill aimed at bolstering an economy that’s been devastated by the coronavirus. Democrats have been strongly critical of a proposed $500 billion pot of money aimed at helping distressed companies, including major airliners and cargo carriers.
They also warn it could serve as a “slush fund” that disproportionately benefits large businesses, which could include Trump’s hotels. Democrats are seeking to impose much tougher conditions on companies that accept emergency funding, as well as ensure the president can’t direct government money to enrich himself.
The Washington Post reported the president’s businesses have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic as his resorts in Las Vegas, Miami, Ireland, and Turnberry, Scotland are closed — and likely suffering a substantial loss of income. His hotels are still open in Washington and New York, but they laid off many workers.
The Constitution bars presidents from accepting federal money beyond their salary. If Trump’s businesses receive a bailout, ethics experts say that could raise constitutional issues.
Walter Shaub, the former head of the US Office of Government Ethics, said any federal lifeline to the Trump Organization would “violate” the Constitution as an “illegal emolument.”
“Congress MUST explicitly ban Trump Org from getting ANY money AND must include other built-in oversight,” Shaub wrote in a tweet.
“It’s something that I witnessed in all of them,” Earnest recalled. “They have, like — you can describe it like allergy eyes. The white part of your eye is not red, it’s more like they have red eye shadow on the outside of their eyes. But we’ve had patients that just had the red eyes as the only symptom that we saw and go to the hospital and pass away in the hospital.”
“I’ve even had the disaster medical control physician say, ‘Do they have the red eyes?’ And I will say yes. And he’ll say, ‘I’ll find you a bed.’ It’s just something about this, the way that it affects these patients.”
I’m unable to copy the link to it, but if you search for “When What You Say Is So Dumb, the Infectious Disease Expert Touches His Face”, you’ll see a real-life version of the above illo.
I am (sadly) just waiting for Dr. Fauci to be fired and Dr. Oz to be hired. I wish I could say that was sarcasm, but Oz was pushing chloroquine yesterday morning on Fox and by the afternoon Trump was pushing it even harder.
An old song that could be imitated as a parody of Trump in this cartoon is the old, old one named “The Man on the Flying Trapeze.” It could contain the Refrain:
He lies through the air with the greatest of ease,
That daring guy Trump, The Master Of Sleaze.
His excuses are graceless, yet Fox News he does please,
This is not the first time chloroquine has been suggested as a treatment for a viral disease, all due to the fact that in vitro it does inhibit viral reproduction. However, to quote from a story on WHO efforts to test potential drugs:
“Encouraging cell study results with chloroquines against two other viral diseases, dengue and chikungunya, didn’t pan out in people in randomized clinical trials. And nonhuman primates infected with chikungunya did worse when given chloroquine. “Researchers have tried this drug on virus after virus, and it never works out in humans. The dose needed is just too high,” says Susanne Herold, an expert on pulmonary infections at the University of Giessen.”
And: In guidance published on Friday, the U.S. Society of Critical Care Medicine said “there is insufficient evidence to issue a recommendation on the use of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine in critically ill adults with COVID-19.”
Hydroxychloroquine, in particular, might do more harm than good. The drug has a variety of side effects and can in rare cases harm the heart. Because people with heart conditions are at higher risk of severe COVID-19, that is a concern, says David Smith, an infectious disease physician at the University of California, San Diego.
SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH! It has now been conclusively proved, beyond the tenth part of the tenth shadow of a doubt, that growing up with gold diapers and a platinum pacifier can lead to a high (yet FALSE!) opinion of oneself…..
It’s a major enigma whether Trump believes the stuff he makes up (which is almost everything). And, does he know it’s lying, or does he sincerely believe in his own magical thinking?

His job is simply to tell the truth. Until The Donald cannot stand it any more and he’s “allowed” to resign.

“Lamericks”
Dr. Fauci stands stoic’ly by
As the President acts like a guy
Who knows medical stuff,
But it’s all just a bluff.
Fauci must want simply to cry.
.
Dr. Fauci has great self-control,
His eyes never upwardly roll
When Trump makes no sense
(As seldom does Pence),
His expression avoids being droll.
.
Dr. Fauci is medic’ly trained,
Whereas Trump is deficiently brained.
Trump should yield doctors the floor
And not fake anymore —
Just keep his ego well chained.
.
Dr. Fauci must actually hate
To hear Donald Trump bloviate,
His comments half false,
His rantings repulse,
On Fauci’s ears they must grate.
.
When the president loses his cool,
And makes himself look like a fool,
Fauci cleans up the wrecks
That Trump often affects,
Re-establishing logical rule.
.
The Medal of Freedom should go
To Fauci, when this crisis of woe
Is done and well past,
And Donald Trump at last
Into History’s dust bin we throw.

Trump: Screwed.
