New Book Details Trump’s Plan to Send People Stricken with COVID to Gitmo

New Book Details Trump’s Plan to Send People Stricken with COVID to Gitmo:  A new book by two Washington Post reporters, claims that former President Donald Trump, eager to suppress coronavirus numbers on US soil which he felt made him look bad politically, suggested sending COVID-positive Americans to Guantánamo Bay.   The former President reportedly startled aides when he asked "Don't we have an island we own?   What about Guantánamo?” Now, for those of you who pretend to be soooo concerned about his plan, it’s important to remember it could have been a helluva lot worse.  Why, Trump could have tried to send these poor souls off to Cleveland, knowing full well that a good many Cleveland residents actually ask to be sent to Gitmo each year.  By the way, didn’t Donald Trump actually have COVID-19?  So, why the hell didn’t we send him to GITMO - or Cleveland?  Must have been an oversight. Meanwhile, a lot of people are quick to point out that the O...

Rand Paul Calls Senators Who Wear Masks Science Deniers

Rand Paul Calls Senators Who Wear Masks Science Deniers:   During a recent appearance on Full Court Press with host Greta Van Susteren, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) defended his refusal to wear a face mask on the Senate floor, by calling other senators "science deniers,” then declaring that “he wants to be a leader” because there is no evidence whatsoever that wearing a mask protects one from getting the coronavirus. OK, Senator Paul, we get that you want to be a leader -  but, the big question is, a leader of what ?  Hell, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a pirate, but the only pirate ships I could afford, came out of cereal boxes, and they were so small, that the only body of water they could safely float around in, was my bathtub.  But, that’s not really important now. Anyway, Sen. Paul justifies his anti-mask position by claiming that ”almost everybody who got infected, said they were wearing a mask all the time.”  Excellent point senator!  And, I’d also...

Trump Tweets Rudy Giuliani Has Tested Positive for Coronavirus

Trump Tweets Rudy Giuliani Has Tested Positive for Coronavirus:   President Trump has just tweeted that his personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, who has been the main point man in the President’s bid to overturn the November election, has tested positive for the coronavirus. Geez, don’t tell me yet another Republican coronavirus denier, has now tested positive for the virus?  Why, who could’ve thunk it?  My word, the Republican Party is working like a well-designed, self-cleaning oven.  Now, my question is, does anyone know if Beano can cure Covid-19?  Otherwise, Rudy’ll soon be farting Hydroxychloroquine.  Now, on a positive note for Rudy, most of those hospital gowns are backless.  But, come on!  Who could have possibly imagined that meeting with hundreds and hundreds of people, without social distancing or wearing a face mask - while you’re trying to undermine the basic foundations of our democracy, could make you vulnerable to contracting...
