HE"S POSITIVE!!!

I was right:  Trump has now tested positive for COVID-19. . . 

This is really tragic and terrifying moment in the history of the United States.  The President of the United States has now come down with a deadly virus.  This is horrific news for the country and the fact that he did this largely to himself doesn't change that singular fact.  This is a horrifically dangerous moment for the United States.  The head of the US Government has a deadly virus, can't necessarily perform his duties to the same level, and may have infected many of the senior members of the American government.  This is terrifying and dangerous.  It's sad and scary that this country has to go through this, it's a sad and terrible day for American democracy.  

Let us all please rally around the government of the United States, the chain of command, and support the continuity plan and show unity in our nation.  Let us hope for the safety and health of Vice President Pence and House Speaker Pelosi as the next leaders in line.  

May God bless and support America in this time of need. . . 

Trump In Quarantine: Its Obvious He's Infected With Covid-19

News broke tonight that Hope Hicks, advisor to the President, is confirmed to be positive for COVID-19.  According to the timeline, she was contagious from Monday onwards on their trip to Cleveland for the debate.  She began showing symptoms on Wednesday night and of course the White House covered it up.  The only reason we know she's infected, and has exposed the entire White House, is that Bloomberg News broke the story (i.e. someone leaked it from the White House).  This was ultimately confirmed tonight by the orange blowhard in chief on Fox "News" where he admitted Hicks had tested positive, that he was waiting for his test results, and subsequently they announced he would be quarantined.  To repeat:  your Government did NOT tell you the President of the United States, the man with the nuclear codes, had been exposed to a deadly virus along with most of the senior staff.   Let that sink in for a minute.... 

I will preface my comments by echoing what has been said across the media reporting on this:  our hopes and prayers go out to Hope Hicks, the staff, and the president himself.  I hope he did not get infected with the virus.  And I hope that Hicks recovers quickly without issue.  

But it's now been several hours since the news broke and the White House has said nothing about POTUS' test results.  Remember, this is the White House, they have the best tests in the world including the instant 15 minute tests and the 3 hour tests and everything in between.  Yet they haven't released the results of the test.  Why???

For the answer, let me take you through a simple thought experiment.  First, let's remember who we're talking about here, it's Donald Trump, the man who's lied over 20,000 times since taking office.  A man who lied about his crowd sizes, something easily verifiable.  So let me ask you then:  if there was even a 1% chance that he was NOT infected, do you think he'd be going into quarantine instead of lying about it?  Do you think that four weeks out from the election, with his campaign bombing, with the threat of prison once he leaves office, and the last chance to stand in front of adoring crowds screaming his name, do you really think he'd go into quarantine for 14 days?  Really???   Not a chance in hell. . .  They're hiding either his positive test result, or figuring out how to spin the test result of others.  

That takes you to the second part of the thought experiment.  Let's assume he does have COVID-19 (which is obvious):  do you think there's any chance in hell he'd tell us before they'd figure out a way of spinning it somehow?  Of blaming it on BLM or Antifa or Kamala Harris or whatever.   Not a chance.  Right now, as of midnight East Coast time they're trying to figure out how to spin this.  And there aren't many good answers, he's called this a hoax for 6 months and told people not to wear masks, to re-open states and schools etc.  

And let's take the next logical step.  At a very basic governmental level, they still have to at least think through the contingency plan of what happens when he's infected.  So they have to bring in Mike Pence and test him too.  And what if, shock of shocks, he's infected too?   He's certainly been exposed, so what if he has it too?!. . . 

Then, Oh, My God, the country would be lead by Madam President Nancy Pelosi!!!!!!  Oh horror of horrors!!!  She's second in line to the Presidency, and there is no way they would easily hand over power to her, but they really have no other options if both POTUS and Pence are sick.  So they're panicking and trying to figure out what to do.  Imagine President Pelosi for the next 30 days.  She'll oversee the election and ensure it's peaceful.  That means she'll immediately fire Attorney General William Barr.  Goodbye election lawsuits, goodbye voter intimidation, goodbye election corruption, hello investigations into the Proud Boys and voter suppression.  And what's more, good bye Obama-care lawsuit in front of the Supreme Court.  And, OH MY GOD, goodbye Amy Coney Barret!  Take your Supreme Court Seat and shove it!!!   

And that is why, eight hours into the crisis, the White House has not issued a public statement or said a damn thing.  We could be sitting on the verge of a tragic, yet amazing, miracle.  The Lord sure does work in mysterious ways. . . .

Trump Calls On His Brown Shirts

Last night during the Presidential "debate" Donald Trump called on the Proud Boys to "stand by," asked supporters to watch the polls, and again questioned the legitimacy of any election he loses, and blamed the violence on the "left wing."  Trump has now called out his modern-day Nazi Brown Shirts to "stand by" to riot through the streets, attack voters, intimidate election workers, maybe take over a local TV station, and do whatever is necessary and he asks for when he loses the election in order to keep him in power.  

As a reminder, the Proud Boys are a men-only racist far right neo-Nazi white supremacist hate group who are looking forward to the second civil war slash race war.  These are the racist morons who walk around with army fatigues (even though few of them ever served of course), AR-15s, bullet-proof vests, and attack BLM or other peaceful protestors in Portland and other areas around the country.  Their modus operandi is to show up to peaceful protests armed to the teeth, pick out some unwitting victims, beat the crap out of them (or worse) and then cry "self defense" or invoke stand-your-ground laws.  They also wear shirts that say "Free Kyle" in celebration of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17 year-old Illinois kid who drove to Kenosha Wisconsin with his machine gun to kill two people peacefully protesting police violence.  Essentially they're a bunch of cowardly white trash losers who can't function in the modern world, blame minorities and liberals for it, and hide behind their guns and hatred as a crutch and solution.  

Unfortunately, their cowardice, stupidity, and racism doesn't make them any less violent or dangerous.  According to FBI Director Christopher Wray, they, and other white supremacist groups like them, are the biggest domestic terror threat to the United States.  And they are now also clearly the biggest threat to safe and peaceful elections and the transfer of power in this country.  Last night when Chris Wallace asked Trump if he would ask his supporters to be peaceful, stand down, and respect the results of the election (and not declare victory until it is announced) he instead called on his henchmen to go into the polls, "watch the polls," and obviously intimidate minorities and others who might vote against him.  Within hours the Proud Boys had actually turned Trump's words into a new logo and meme to help them market themselves, recruit, and raise money.  And this will only get worse over the next four weeks.    

These are Trump's Brown Shirts.  They serve the exact same purpose as the Brown Shirts did to Hitler and the Nazi party in the 1920s and 1930s:  intimidate and brutalize the opposition, terrorize opponents, stifle the free press, and ultimately destroy democracy by brute force in the streets for your Nazi fascist dictator.  These Proud Boys don't respect the Constitution of the United States, couldn't care less about democracy, and will violently support the Orange Fuhrer when called upon.  And let there be no doubt, in the coming weeks Trump will become more and more desperate, encourage more and more violence, and put more and more barriers in front of voters.  Come November 3rd he will definitely claim that a coup is being perpetuated when he loses the election or claim "victory" by 2pm in the afternoon and try to get his racist dogs to go out in the streets to support him in order try to impose martial law or some other mechanism to try to stay in power.  It's a given.  

Our only answer is to brave the Brown Shirts, stand up to the racist bullies and vote no matter what.  Imagine if, knowing what you know now, you were magically back in 1929/1930s Germany and could help Jews and others rational peaceful Germans stand up to the Brown Shirts, Nazis, and prevent Hitler from gaining power, would you have done it?  I certainly would. . .  Well now is our time to do just that.  We need to stand up and have a wave of anti-Nazi enthusiasm to wash over this country and cleanse us from all these pieces of trash by winning the election and saving American democracy.  And, once in office, we need to make sure President Biden fixes the DOJ and redoubles efforts to prosecute and stop violent white supremacist militia groups once and for all.  

Vote November 3rd!
