President Methy thinks he’s well enough to leave the hospital. Ok.

Hi. It’s Monday, October 5, and it is your last chance to double, triple, quadruple check your voter registration if you live in: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Go to Vote.org, confirm you’re registered, and if you’re not, REGISTER. Last chance, guys. Let’s do this.

Instead of a cute animal video, meet Andrew Farmer:

Political Crap

Alright, so where did we leave off with this shitshow? President One-Man Disaster announced late Thursday night/early Friday morning that he had tested positive for COVID-19 and everyone had a good hearty case of schadenfreude. As the day wore on, more and more dingus Republicans who were at the White House event nominating Amy Coney Barrett announced that they, too, were positive. And then I hit “Publish” because if I waited for the news to slow down, I’d never actually post anything.

And sure enough, a few hours after I posted, President “I’M NOT DEAD YET!” was medevacked to Walter Reed Hospital for what was being described as “a few days.” Then on Saturday, a gaggle of Walter Reed doctors and President Stalin’s personal doctor, one Sean Conley, DO, came out and declared everything was just great while avoiding questions about President Hypoxia’s blood oxygen levels, or whether or not they were administering oxygen at that time. Also, they maybe let slip that President Not Aysymptommatic Anymore might have known he was positive since Wednesday, not late Thursday — after he had attended two fundraising events — and that he had been receiving treatments before the world knew he was positive.

MEANWHILE, minutes after the doctors’ press conference, Mark Meadows, the White House Chief of Staff told press off the record that, and I quote: “The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.”

So then Dr. Conley had to put out a statement clarifying that he didn’t mean “72” hours, and also, too, they only began treating the Liar-in-Chief the day before, not two days before and anyway LOOK OVER THERE.

All of this, understandably, created a great deal of confusion as to WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING, and I didn’t even get to the part where President Propaganda put out two pictures of himself “working hard,” pictures that were taking a whopping ten minutes apart. They showed him signing blank pieces of paper with a Sharpie.

Leaving this excerpt from a Vanity Fair piece about how Dummy Jr. thinks his father is acting like a deranged lunatic for no reason in particular:

There is a long history in the Trump family of denying serious illness. According to a Trump family friend, Trump’s father, Fred Trump Sr., insisted on working even after his Alzheimer’s disease advanced in the 1990s. “To retire is to expire!” Fred Sr. would say. The friend said that as Fred Sr.’s disease worsened––he once came down the stairs wearing three neckties––the family created a system so that Fred could think he was still running the Trump Organization. Every day Fred Sr. would go to the office in Brooklyn and they would give him blank papers to sort through and sign. The phone on Fred’s desk was set up so that it could only dial out to his secretary. “Fred pretended to work,” the family friend said.

On Sunday, the doctors gave another press conference where they confirmed that President Steroids’ oxygen did, in fact, drop a couple of times, but he’s JUST FINE now and in fact, might go home on Monday. And all those times he evaded questions about his oxygen levels before was just Dr. Conley’s attempt to put a positive spin on the situation.

And that’s when President Dear Leader made his secret service agents get into a hermetically sealed SUV with him so that he could drive around Walter Reed and wave at his supporters.

From a different Walter Reed physician:

The secret service is not amused:

Which brings us to today. We woke up to this tweet hurricane from President Dexamethasone:

VOTE!

And then, this afternoon, before his doctors could give their press conference, he tweeted out this news:

“Don’t be afraid of Covid” if you have access to the best doctors and experimental treatments unavailable to the average American and can be helicoptered to the hospital. For free.

As for the rest of us: last week an average of 700 Americans died of this virus a day. TAKE THIS VIRUS SERIOUSLY. BE AFRAID OF IT.

Also, “don’t let it dominate your life?” COVID-19 has killed nearly 215,000 Americans. What an insult to their lives and those they left behind. I’m disgusted.

While all this bullshit was happening, the following GOPers tested positive:

  • Kellyanne Conway (and her daughter)
  • Chris Christie
  • Kayleigh McEnany
  • Bill Stepien
  • Nicholas Luna
  • Ron Johnson
  • Chad Gilmartin
  • Three more members of the press corps

Meanwhile, Joe Biden continues to test negative, thank God, but President Superspreader’s campaign is trying to use that against him because of course they fucking are:

29 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY, KIDS. STAY STRONG.

Going Viral

Oh, hey, those PSAs the government ordered featuring B-list celebrities urging us to “defeat despair” in regards to the virus (scheduled to roll out ahead of the election, obvs), has turned into a complete boondoggle to absolutely no one’s surprise. Celebrities are dropping out, the firm hired is incompetent (but politically connected), and Democrats are sniffing around.
