He Is a Deranged and Dangerous Man

1459DCEF-D5BF-45C2-8FAD-E20BB3B5A3F5Donald Trump used his vast knowledge of science and medicine to float more medical trial balloons. He is now repeatedly suggesting the idea that disinfectant should be injected into the bodies of humans to cure coronavirus patients while doubling down on his claims that sunlight kills the deadly virus.

“I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning?” Trump wondered aloud during his daily COVID-19 briefing.

So all you Trump fans, go grab your syringes, fill them up with a large dose of Lysol and inject it directly into your lungs. Your president has said you’ll be COVID-free in one minute, so what have you got to lose?

But before you do, be aware that a senior health official, under questioning from reporters, later said federal laboratories are not considering or trying to develop such a treatment option. That health official is about to be fired for contradicting the king.

As to sunshine being the cure, Vice Buttlicker (aka Mike Pence) said that there is “encouraging” news about how “heat and sunlight” affect coronavirus. So all of you Trump supporters need to run out and buy yourself a tanning bed and burn that damn virus right out of you.

But before you do, Deborah Birx, one of Mr Trump’s coronavirus task force members, disagreed that the sun’s rays could be used to help virus victims, saying that the sun should not be used as a treatment.

Trump is a fucking moron. A deranged and dangerous one, at that.

T is for This

A2Z2020For this year’s A to Z Challenge I’m going to attempt to post an old saying or adage each day of the month of April (except for Sundays). I’m going through the alphabet, with the first letter of the adage beginning with the first letter of the alphabet (A) and continuing for 26 adages in alphabetical order until I get through the entire alphabet by April 30 — from A to Z.

I don’t know if it can be done, but I’m going to give it the old college try. Here’s my April 23rd adage and it starts with the letter T.

This, too, shall pass.

FOWC with Fandango — Dinner

FOWCWelcome to April 23, 2020 and to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). It’s designed to fill the void after WordPress bailed on its daily one-word prompt.

I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (US).

Today’s word is “dinner.”

Write a post using that word. It can be prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. It can be any length. It can be just a picture or a drawing if you want. No holds barred, so to speak.

Once you are done, tag your post with #FOWC and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Or you can simply include a link to your post in the comments.

The issue with pingbacks not showing up seems to have been resolved, but you might check to confirm that your pingback is there. If not, please manually add your link in the comments.

  1. And be sure to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this prompt. You will marvel at their creativity.
