The
Mask of Red Death
A
grade school in the
year 2058.
Student: "iTeach,
it's hard to understand
President Trump's
actions during the
2020 pandemic. Can
you TL;DR the deets
for me, please."
iTeach: "Certainly.
He Ignored the virus.
Ridiculed it.
Called
it a hoax. Defunded
any research. Golfed.
Compared it to the
common flu. Lied
about when the virus
would
be
gone.
Predicted no one
would die. Castrated
the
CDC. Shilled for
a dangerous and ineffective
wonder-drug called
hydroxychloroquine. Cut
funding for emergency
response. Disregarded
and then discarded
an existing plan
to fight the pandemic.
Allowed his son-in-law
to
make a fortune from
the sales of stolen
PPEs. Favorably compared
number of deaths
by virus to deaths
by suicide. Predicted
50,000 would die.
Recommended
therapeutically injecting
bleach into infected
bodies. Shipped governmental
reserves of
medical
supplies to China.
Blamed China for
the virus. Blamed
the World Health
Organization. Blamed
President Obama.
Blamed President
Biden. Lied about
Obama's
handling
of the Swine Flu
in an attempt to
improve his image.
Golfed. Bragged that
his handling
of the
virus had
been "a great success
story". Forced workers
back into
virus-laden meat-packing
plants then shipped
the meat to China.
Attacked the press
for reporting
the facts of the
pandemic. Predicted
100,000 would die.
Hid the
data on infection
and
deaths. Lied about
when a vaccine would
be ready, then claimed
that
a vaccine was not
needed, that the
virus would go away
on its own. Opposed
the use of
masks.
Covertly gave $500
billion
dollars
to
his rich, corporate
donors.
Spread contagion
at his rallies.
Stopped predicting
how many
would die. Promised
tests for all Americans
then
dragged his feet
on testing before
prematurely shutting
the program down
completely.
Withheld $14 billion
dollars allotted
for Covid-19 testing.
Opposed additional
public funds to provide
food and shelter
to the huge number
of
unemployed
who had lost their
jobs...
Student: "Stop! Stop!
Stop! Why the Hell
would he DO all that?"
iTeach: "So
that evangelicals
would
vote for him."
-------------
My favorite Biblical
verse of the week:
Ezekiel 16:49 - "Behold,
this was the guilt
of your sister Sodom:
she and her daughters
had arrogance, abundant
food and careless
ease, but she did
not help the poor
and needy."
Karen, are you listening?
------------
I live in Dallas,
Texas. A local magazine
has created a Covid-19
heat map
of Dallas by Zip
code.
My Zip Code is the
5th most Covid19-prone
out of 22 in my area.
Siiiiiiiigh.
