Dems are Literally Exploiting Death and Disease to Advance an Agenda

Like a bunch of howling monkeys flinging poop, democrats are throwing all of their pet projects at the wall to see what will stick as congress tries to relieve the nation's pain and work toward steps to revive the economy.  No matter what it is, no matter how completely unrelated the issue may be, they’re trying their best to tie it to the Covid-19 pandemic relief bills.  Universal basic income, tax hikes, gun control, and end to oil, Medicare-for-all.  No matter how tenuous or outright ridiculous the connection may be, they're attempting to portray all of their longstanding agenda items as an imperative part of the recovery.

“Squad member” and Prog Princess Ayanna 'Bullethead' Pressley (D-MA) as rabidly left-wing as anyone in the House of Reps, is doing her part by trying to inject a steaming pile of progressive pipe dreams into the next round of stimulus that includes cash for illegal immigrants, prisoners, homeless people, and 100% student loan forgiveness.

Never mind that in most cases these financial situations either pre-date, or have absolutely nothing to do with the coronavirus pandemic, Pressley smells blood in the water, and she’s looking to exploit it. Logic, and fiscal realities, be damned.

Even the perpetually confused Joe Biden on an appearance of CNN’s Fredo Cuomo Corona Basement Show, reiterated comments made by James Clyburn in which the House Minority Whip accidentally admitted Dems view the COVID-19 outbreak as an “opportunity.”  An opportunity to do what? Restructure the United States. Since Joe also needs to shore up his left-wing bona fides, he also takes the opportunity to blame the corona pandemic on the environment. As he puts it:

“We have an opportunity, Chris, to do so many things now to change some of the structural things that are wrong, some of the structural things we couldn’t get anyone’s attention on. In a sense, no pun intended, the Band-Aid’s been ripped off here. Everybody now understands that we have a voting system that is not transparent and clear and available for everyone. Everyone understands that the environment has impacted on this coronavirus and there’s mounting evidence of that.”

That’s some impressive gaslighting, and since it’s CNN, no reason to challenge him for any actual proof to back up those claims.  But get used to it, because the media is going to have to cheerlead and NOT ask the right questions if they want to drag Joe’s sorry ass across the finish line Election Day.

Coronavirus Hasn't Slowed the Sewage From the Ivory Towers

The Wistful Utopian Centrist Thomas Friedman

If you happen to have perused the latest dreadful exercise by NYTs Thomas Friedman in drunk revisionist history, magical thinking, and radical 'both siderist' idiocy seems vaguely familiar to you, it should.  Because it is virtually identical to the drunk revisionist, magical thinking, radically idiotic "OMFG Democrats Should Do National Unity" column that Friedman wrote just before Michael Bloomberg's campaign and his $500 mil. went in the woodchipper.

Friedman, bless his heart, has a long-time, brainsick fetish for solving all nation's problems by waving a wand and creating a Magical Centrist Third Party. With 'Bernie the Red' all but out of the way, Friedman is now suggesting that at the 2020 Democrat National Convention that the nation's coming savior, Joe Biden, name a “national unity cabinet” to signal an end to the bad old “hyperpartisanship” of the previous era.

From his Ivory Tower of privilege and political infantilism, Friedman pleads for a “political system to mirror the best in us rather than to continue to exacerbate the worst,” which presumably means parking your political party, your ideology, and perhaps your values at the door and pitching in to the common cause of having a common cause.

He wishfully dreams the Democrat Party, a political cult which has openly declared war on everything America believes in, a party of bigots and imbeciles which has been going very publicly insane for the past 40 years,  rotten from top to bottom and has shown over and over again that the minute it gets its filthy paws on any political power whatsoever it will unhesitatingly use that power to damage the country,  should actually share power in the nation saving Biden administration with a renewed Trumpless Republican party.

[insert laugh track here]
 
Friedman even included 20 suggestions for Biden's fantasy Cabinet, my favorite feature being that it would place Alexandria Ocashew-Cortex at the U.N. as our ambassador, reporting to Mitt Romney as secretary of State. That should be a fun partnership. Even among the Democrats, there are some strange configurations, like Wall Street’s own Mike Bloomberg at Treasury cheek to jowl with Lizzy Warren as Czarina of oversight for the trillions of dollars in emergency coronavirus spending. What could go wrong...

For some reason people like Friedman struggle to understand or accept that partisan polarization is in no small part attributable to genuine ingrained differences of opinion over economics, the role of government, the legal system, America’s place in the word, and yes, culture. Culture Mr. Friedman. One you've turned your back on from the relative safety of your Ivory Tower.

You Know It Pained Cuomo the Elder to Say It -'DJT Delivered'

Democrat Sphincters Clinched all Across the Fruited Plain at Hearing His Words

Meanwhile, about that same time over at the incapable of relating to facts network, CNN's Anderson Cooper was claiming no timeline for PPE has been provided after CNN refused to air WH press conferences during which military officers provided a timeline for PPE.

National Media is Actually ROOTING for Hydroxycloroquine To Not Work as a Treatment. Think About That.

Dr. Anthony Cardillo said he has seen very promising results when prescribing hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc for the most severely-ill COVID-19 patients. "Every patient I've prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free. So clinically I am seeing a resolution."

Cardillo is the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, which has locations in Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys and Burbank. He said he has found it only works if combined with zinc. The drug, he said, opens a channel for the zinc to enter the cell and block virus replication. He says that the drug shouldn't be prescribed for those who are only mildly ill, because he doesn't want to exhaust our supplies. But he says it has "very promising results" for the "most severely ill."

Meanwhile, the media continues its open war on hydroxychloroquine. The Bad Orange Man said it's good, therefore, it must also be bad.  They pretend their bias comes from "experts" but they always seem to forget to quote the expert medical doctors treating patients and seeing success. Someone is anti-hope b/c that goes hand-in-hand with being anti-Trump. Trump and the others at the briefing SAID it's not for everyone and even some shouldn't based on their health history. And it should come as no surprise some wacked AOC want-a-be wants to refer crimes against humanity' charges against the president.

But sure, be unhinged. Alinsky tactics all the time at CNN:

Why today's WH briefing was disturbing: presidential misinformation from the podium; dangerous and unconfirmed claims about hydroxychloroquine; gratuitous shots at rival politicians. pic.twitter.com/dHqUtCzkKC

If hydroxychloroquine is proven to work well against COVID-19, its sales would jump, but pharmaceutical analysts say they don’t know of any company or individual that stands to make a windfall. That’s because there’s so much competition and the vast majority of prescriptions filled are for generics. But that hasn't stopped Ricky Maddow and the frothing Tin Foil Hat Brigades from aping their conspiracy theories.
