Dr. Birx Claims Election Distracted Trump Resulting in 130,000 Unnecessary Deaths


Former Trump White House coronavirus response coordinator Doctor Deborah Birx, told the House select subcommittee on the pandemic that the Trump administration was “distracted” by last year’s election and ignored recommendations to curb the pandemic.  She further added that more than 130,000 American lives could have been saved with swifter action and better coordinated public health messages after the first wave of the virus.

Gee, Donald Trump was “distracted?”  Who knew?  That’s funny, because I’ve always assumed Trump’s default mental state is “distracted.”  I mean, simply catching his own image in a mirror is a monumental distraction, if you’re Donald Trump.  Now, while “distracted” may be a polite way for Dr. Birx to phrase it, I’m pretty sure many Americans would likely describe Trump’s COVID response by using another word -  and that word is “indifferent.”


Anyway, now that Dr. Birx seems to have finally regained her ability to speak again after over a year and a half, I suppose it won’t be long now before folks like Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Majorie Taylor Greene - will be demanding that she be jailed.  Of course, in demanding that, they have to also be quite careful not to “distract” folk’s attention too far away from other pressing matters - you know, like Benghazi or Hunter Biden’s laptop.


Not surprisingly, after Dr. Birx’s testimony, angry Republicans were quick to remind citizens that President Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” is the primary reason we even have a coronavirus vaccine in the first place.  Oh really?  OK, but if that’s true and this really is “Donald Trump's vaccine,” then perhaps they should also explain why so many Republicans are deciding they’d much rather die of COVID - than get vaccinated?


Meanwhile, after hearing Dr. Birx testify about how many COVID deaths are the result of “election distractions,” more than a few of Trump’s most sharp-minded supporters are now thinking out loud, “just imagine if we could have somehow suspended that stupid election and automatically extended Trump’s presidency for another four years - why, I shudder to think how many innocent lives might have been saved!”


Now, I’m sure in the minds of MAGA cultists and QAnon believers, that all makes perfect sense.  As for the rest of us - well, we tend to think Donald Trump has a whole lotta blood on his tiny, little hands.  You can call me “old fashioned” if you like, but my guess is that most Americans still prefer presidents who don’t let more than half a million citizens die unnecessarily - simply because they’re “distracted."

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Former Trump National Security Advisor Warns ‘Deep State’ Putting COVID Vaccine in Salad Dressing

Former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired and then prosecuted for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia before being ultimately pardoned by Trump, is now sliding further into the QAnon conspiracy world, telling the hosts of an online show dedicated to COVID and election fraud conspiracies - that he has heard the “Deep State” is attempting to “sneak coronavirus vaccine into salad dressing.” Now, I have no idea where Gen. Flynn got this information, but my guess is it was probably a text from Mike Lindell or Rudy Giuliani, alerting him to the “hidden dangers of salad dressing.”  Or, it could have been Nicki Minaj for all I know.  After all, she does have another cousin who has a friend in Timbuktu.  Word on the street has it the “Deep State” will initially start with “Ranch Dressing” to vaccinate the cowboys, then move on to “Russian Dressing,” to get the rest of Trump’s supporters. Anyway, I hate to rain on Gen. Flynn’s conspiracy the...

Elon Musk Calls for the Prosecution of Anthony Fauci

Over the weekend, Elon Musk took to his Twitter account to call for the prosecution of infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, endorsing a convoluted, right-wing conspiracy theory that claims Dr. Fauci financed the COVID-19 pandemic.   Musk then proceeded to mock transgender people by adding “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.” Gee, the “world’s richest right-wing troll” said what?  Now, I realize it's a really low bar, but I think we’ve finally found someone who actually knows less about pronouns - than Herschel Walker.   Not to be critical, but a good sign you may have a wee bit too much money on your hands, is when you blow 44 billion dollars, just to call people names. Oh sure, I’m positive Elon Musk, like any right-wing crusader, gets a real kick out of using his Twitter to “Own the Libs.”  OK, I get that, but just who does he suppose is actually buying his friggin' cars, anyway?   I’m pretty sure it isn’t Trump’s toothless, MAGA half-wits who are fillin...
