All the News That’s Fake to Print
Trump hasn’t been saying “the failing New York Times” lately. Even his most devoted fans must realize the Times is still in business. He’s been relying on his catchall expression “fake news,” but even that seems to be falling flat, with the sudden resurgence in coronavirus cases.
The New York Times explains how epidemiologists estimate the number of unconfirmed Covid-19 cases, to determine a death rate that is perhaps less than 0.5%. At this link. That doesn’t mean, as Trump claims, the virus is “99% harmless,” but at least it’s based on something valid.
Political Pork
On this 4th of July, let’s recite one of the earlier versions of the Pledge of Allegiance, when America was 48 contiguous states.
Graham Cracker
Lindsey Graham, before he crumbled under Trump’s heel.
Huzza? Whuzza?
Here’s something I didn’t know until about 30 seconds ago. The word “boogaloo,” that I used in a post not long ago, has been appropriated by far-right wackos!
“Boog” is short for boogaloo, a far-right anti-government movement that began on the extremist site 4chan and aims to start a second American civil war.
This is screwed-up beyond belief. Trump has got to go! He’s been validating and enabling these armed clowns to an extremely dangerous degree, and I have my fingers crossed for election day.
(Huzza=Huh? Whuzza=What?)
His Words, Her Mouth
Tremendous medical advice.
