(Hold your nose and embrace your destiny.)

     Right wing whores gotta whore.

     Because, according to the right wing jackals running HHS, it's impossible to be asymptomatic.

     Meanwhile,. in the land of Monkey Trials and moonshine... Thanks, again, Tennessee!

     These old Republicans may be nuttier than squirrel turds but the skill set that never seems to abandon them is the ability to successfully grift and steal money from the US taxpayer. Take Mayor Rudy and his shell company with no employees that got tons of PPP money

     Great moments in signage.

     Quid pro quo? Never heard that one, before.

     "SCOTUS, wah wah, I didn't get my way again."

     This is sad, that we have to do this.

     When is law enforcement going to stop playing footsie with these Dollar Store Storm Troopers and start pushing back?

     Trump MAGAts are so spectacularly insane, they actually see an alternate world that doesn't exist. What I fault CBS for is confusing reality with the truth. We already knew that reality is subjective and squishy. Literally, no news there. The truth isn't subjective. It just is, such as the earth revolving around the sun. What CBS seems to be out to prove is that reality and the truth are the same and that MAGAts' points of view, which are colored by ignorance, racism and authoritarian thinking, are as equally valid as Democrats' views, which they are not.

     So, when Trump launched his own Nazi Youth League, he also attacked Howard Zinn, who's been dead for a decade.

      You want to know how mythical Trump's health care plan is? Think Joseph Smith's golden Bible.

      Boy, the Klansman in Chief must be getting desperate if he's giving any aid to Puerto Rico.

     Going back to that CBS experiment, right wingers DO see reality through a very warped lens and see the very exact opposite of what Democrats can see, even a study using hard numbers and data.

      It's fucking North Carolina. No surprise here. Gentlemen, start your rat fucking.

     Meme intermission.

     Jared Kushner is a nasty little sociopath, plain and simple. He demanded to take over the federal response for the Coronavirus Task Force only to immediately say, "Let the free market and the states decide what to do." Of greater interest, and what's the bigger scandal, is the murky deal to send ventilators to Russia as far back as March when our own hospitals needed them.

      Shit, I've been saying this all year.

      Joe Rogan, you are officially invited to go fuck yourself.

      He fell and couldn't get back up.

     This is coming from the douchebag who denigrated POWs and ordered the removal of the POW-MIA flag from the WH on 9/11, of all days.

     "It's hindering our lifestyle," he said about masks.

     COVID-19 hinders life. But, please, as you were.

     I'm losing count of all the lawsuits.

     First the Puerto Rico aid now Trump's trying to import Canadian drugs to Florida, a state he's barely smart enough to know he needs to win. From here on in until election day, everything this clown does has to be seen through a cynical lens.

     Andrew McCabe might be surprised if Trump fires Wray before election day but I wouldn't be.

    "(“The Apprentice”) was an experience so profound for Trump that he did something highly unusual: He learned something. He absorbed the idea that a well-constructed illusion of competence gets you all the benefits of being accomplished, without having to do the hard work of actually achieving anything." -Salon

     God damn, This is bad. This is soooo bad.

     Lame duck Senator Joni Ernst didn't even wait until RBG's body was cold before fundraising on her death.

     "But Fortune caught nothing except a bad case of seasickness. He spent the next 12 hours 30 miles at sea, alternating between heaving over the side of the boat and sleeping next to his sea sickness bag.

     This was one of many indications that the mysterious man from New York City might not be who he claimed to be — and that he was on a different type of fishing trip..."

      Seniors trumped by Trump cards that cost them $150,000,000,000 in drug reimbursements.

      $14 b to farmers, eh? Yeah, now suddenly he's fucking Santa Claus.

      Right wing hacks were more interested in keeping the "president" from being publicly embarrassed when his lies were exposed than in keeping Americans alive.

     "CNN in a report published Friday quoted Lookhart as saying 'looking back, I can’t say exactly when I began to go off course. I could have and should have maintained better discipline and focus'.”

     Trump's next Surgeon General?

     The "best thing to ever happen to Puerto Rico"? Because you threw paper towels at them?

      Yet another lame duck right wing senator trying to capitalize on the late RBG.

     This November 3rd, we face a momentous choice- We can either vote for a Nazi impersonating a Republican or a Republican impersonating a Democrat.

     May we have the strength to choose wisely.

     I have to laugh every time I hear the phrase, "black Republican" and this is part of the reason why.

     This is what my GOP governor said Saturday.

      Don't let the sons of bitches breathe.

    Gee, isn't a campaign coordinating with a Super PAC or an independent organization illegal? I thought so.

      Lithwick and Reid nail it when they say the GOP regards any Supreme Court seat as theirs needs to be challenged for once by the gutless, spineless wonders of the Democrat Party.

     Moscow Mitch is in no position to carp about Democrats trying to "permanently disfigure" the Senate after the vicious stunts he's pulled over the years.

      "That hair is the star of the Trump show. Other than the ubiquitous billowing blue suit, Trump's hair is the most consistent thing about him. I mean, look at that snowdrift atop Mount Trump: It looks like someone dumped a tequila sunrise on his head and then swooped and sprayed and blow-dried the resulting glop into a kind of double-reverse cantilever combover. You have to wonder how long it takes to construct the thing in the morning, how the hell it's actually done, how many times a day it has to be re-sprayed and tediously teased into shape, with its gleaming duck-tails and prideful collar-brushing flip in the back. An elaborate confection of ego and insecurity and hormonal loss and want and need — you almost have to conclude it's the thing he really cares about." - Lucian Truscott IV, Salon

     Good Jobs First's Violation Tracker discovered 175 large corporations and "non-profits" that have gotten almost half of the roughly $12 billion in contracts awarded so far for laboratory services, medical equipment and more.related to fighting the pandemic.

    "Among this group, 69 contractors, or more than one-third of the total, have paid fines and settlements during the past decade for healthcare fraud and other violations relating to the federal False Claims Act or related laws. They have been involved in 189 individual cases with total penalty payments of $4.7 billion. 

    These are not trivial matters. Twelve of the contractors paid total penalties of more than $100 million and the average per parent company was $27 million." 

     So why are we still giving these scumbags contracts knowing damned good and well they'll rip us off again? And finally...

      Speaking of bleeding the government dry,. yeah, LET'S talk about "draining the swamp."
