Furthermore, here's a picture my friend DG took on a flight of his just last week -- same thing -- and no, the airlines don't enforce their own rules. They don't give a shit. I guess they figure if people are foolish enough to fly, then they take their chances. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This woman was asked multiple times to put a face mask on -- <b>BEFORE</b> the plane took off. She refused. And were there any consequences for her? Was she told she couldn't fly? Was she banned for life? No. You speak to a flight attendant the wrong way and they drag you off the plane. But act like a MAGAss and endanger everyone around you -- no problem:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Because our moron of a president can't keep his mouth shut, and always has to spout off half-cocked when he knows nothing -- <i>especially</i> when he knows nothing (even though he is <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-im-like-really-smart-a-very-stable-genius">"like, very smart, a very stable genius"</a> and an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GqJna9hpTE">"expert" on everything</a>) -- we'll now probably have a few more contenders among his brain-dead base for a <a href="https://darwinawards.com/">Darwin Award</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At yesterday's <strike>political rally</strike> press conference on COVID-19, the orange oaf went off on his latest pet theory: that disinfectants could somehow be "injected" into people to kill the virus.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/23/trump-coronavirus-treatment-disinfectant">Yes, he did</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Seriously, you can't make this shit up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Every day a new low with this guy, every day a new reason to say, "you can't make this shit up."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Given that one of his followers was stupid enough to <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/52012242">drink fish tank cleaner</a> because his beloved leader touted the completely <a href="https://www.thestate.com/news/coronavirus/article242196966.html">bogus "cure"</a> of hydroxychloroquine (Trump's a physician, too, don'tchyaknow?!), I'm sure there'll be plenty of other goobers who will now step up to try ingesting the magic elixir of household cleaners.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As one Twitter wag so elegantly put it:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://twitter.com/kid_prairie/status/1253551199913041920">"I'm old enough to remember when Presidents didn't inject themselves with disinfectants."</a></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Or when you didn't have to explain to anyone but 3-year-olds that no, you shouldn't drink bleach.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And so it goes in the Land of the Free.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Addendum: the fact that <a href="https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1253680910328901632">major companies now feel compelled to urge people not to put this shit in their bodies</a> -- unbelievable. Check that; entirely believable. Every day a new low in this country, thanks to the Moron-in-Chief. Every. Single. Day.</span>Lisa Simeonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08541483476456219974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703018908063185894.post-71686676447807078222020-04-23T10:42:00.001-04:002020-04-23T10:43:41.389-04:00Covidiots On Parade<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You know what? Nobody cares if you get sick and die. Good riddance. What we care about is the fact that you could take innocent people along with you.

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well, here we have yet another moronic MAGAT who mocked and minimized this pandemic and paid for it with his life. Tsk, tsk.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“He watched Fox, and believed it was under control,’’ Kristen told me.<br />Early in March Sean Hannity went on air proclaiming that he didn’t like the way that the American people were getting scared “unnecessarily.’’ He saw it all, he said, “as like, let’s bludgeon Trump with this new hoax.’’ </span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/18/nyregion/coronavirus-jjbubbles-joe-joyce.html">Joe Joyce</a> is hardly the only one denying science, ridiculing facts, and parrotting the stupidity and ignorance promulgated by <a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-nation/fox-news-diamond-silk-claim-number-coronavirus-deaths-are-increasing-make-donald-trump">Fox So-Called News</a>. He's in good company. <a href="https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2020/03/26/virginia-pastor-who-said-covid-19-was-anti-trump-mass-hysteria-dies-of-virus/">Landon Spradlin</a> also thought COVID-19 was a hoax.

Both thought God actually talked directly to them. Yet both died.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oops.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/18/health/coronavirus-america-future.html">Meanwhile</a>:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He calculated that those voters could be 30 percent more likely to die of the virus.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In literature that's called "poetic justice."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And there's lots more of it to come. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While the Sociopath-in-Chief tweets from the toilet inanities like "LIBERATE!" and his brain-dead followers <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/17/us/politics/trump-coronavirus-governors.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage">turn out</a> en masse <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/07/us/coronavirus-idaho-bundy-patriot.html">to demand</a> that they be allowed to infect everyone else, heroic healthcare workers <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/11/opinion/sunday/coronavirus-hospitals-bronx.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage">bust their asses</a> trying to save people. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So before anyone reading this tut-tuts about how "ghoulish" or "distasteful" or "wrong" it is to cheer the death of anyone, keep in mind who is risking their lives on the front lines and who isn't. Who appreciates that risk and who doesn't. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm not the one who's causing these deaths. <a href="https://thebulwark.com/trump-identifies-the-real-victim-of-the-covid-19-epidemic-himself/">Trump & Co.</a> are. The behavior of Trump supporters is what's wrong. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I'll say it again:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Trump is a criminal. Therefore, anyone who supports Trump is aiding and abetting criminality, so he/she is likewise a criminal.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Just so I understand --
Boris Johnson has been moved to the ICU because of:
A) <a href="https://crooksandliars.com/2020/03/yes-sean-hannity-you-did-call-coronavirus">a hoax</a>
B) <a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/rush-limbaugh-coronavirus-common-cold-and-all-panic-just-not-warranted">the common cold</a>
C) just the flu (though <a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/rush-limbaugh-coronavirus-who-cares-if-its-10-times-more-lethal-flu">"who cares if it's 10 times more lethal"</a>)

I've been railing against p.c. lunacy for over 35 years, every chance I get, not that I make much headway with my lefty brothers-in-arms (oh, lord, I just used a "gendered" expression -- oh, the horror!).</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">The wokerati stand firmly against the entire history of liberalism, with their insistence on "safe spaces" and "trigger warnings" and "sensitivity" and "cultural appropriation" and the whole raft of language-policing bullshit. They don't believe in freedom of speech. </span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">They don't believe in the First Amendment at all. They are little modern-day counterparts to the Maoists and Stalinists of old. They would be perfectly happy with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_session">struggle sessions</a> (if they even know what those were, ahistorical as these people are).</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">They are, in short, frighteningly similiar to the far-right loons they love to decry. Hell, I decry them, too. But decrying two sides of the same coin doesn't give me much hope for the future, especially since these woke ones don't recognize their rightwing mirror images.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">So several weeks ago, I wrote the first of what I imagine will be many such op-eds on this topic for my hometown newspaper, the Baltimore Sun. Here's the first part of it, with link to the whole thing:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have a pretty good idea whose woods these are, believe me.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This guy lives in the village. So what if he sees me stopping here?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I dare him to sue me! I dare him!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And by the way, this snow is pathetic.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These are, by far, the least downy flakes ever!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hear they import them from Canada.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't know. Maybe they did. Maybe they didn't. We're looking into it.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They're always shaking their bells at me, it's very loving.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's a beautiful thing.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let me tell you something, these woods are an embarrassment.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They're not dark. They're not deep.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Brunhilde Pomsel, the private secretary of Nazi propaganda minister Josef Goebbels during the last three years of WWII, has died at the age of 106.</span></div>
