The Buttermilk Sky Organization wishes to announce that we have officially Had It.
Anthony Fauci says the US could soon see 100,000 new cases of covid every day. (Has he been wrong about anything so far?) At the same hearing, Robert Redfield promised a CDC program to build "vaccine confidence," so that if we ever get a vaccine against this fast-mutating virus, anti-vax morons won't refuse to take it.
Carl "Watergate" Bernstein has a long, enraging piece at the CNN website which details some of the ways Trump is systematically destroying our standing in the world, not to mention our troops. Funny but not surprising is his special venom toward female leaders. Does he really think he can intimidate Angela Merkel by calling her "stupid"? She grew up in East Germany, for fuck's sake. I didn't think it was possible but Trump makes me wish Margaret Thatcher could come back for just one hour. She'd have him whimpering in the corner.
Carl Reiner is dead. So is Ian Holm.
In the Washington Post Brian Klaas writes, "Even before the latest debacles, Brits, Canadians, Germans, Spaniards, Australians, Mexicans and French people held a more favorable view of President Xi Jinping of China than President Trump." Probably because Xi actually cares about China. Put a bounty on Chinese soldiers and see what happens.
The mothers of soldiers and Marines killed in Afghanistan want an investigation into the Russia bounty report, which Trump was told about last year. As do we all. Trump says he wasn't briefed (they have to tell him because he can't read) and then says he can't remember. Then he calls Biden "senile."
King Philippe of Belgium has expressed "deepest regrets" for his country's treatment of the Democratic Republic of Congo on the sixtieth anniversary of its independence. See, President Erdogan, it's not so hard to face up to your history.
After calling him a "dead man golfing," which I would love to steal, Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi concludes, "I doubt Trump will throw in the towel: he would rather drink bleach than be seen as a loser. He may be trailing in the polls but he will do whatever it takes to win." Robert Reich offers a checklist of things TRE45ON will try (and mostly has already). Charlie Pierce concludes:
"The idea of four more years of this is utterly terrifying. Worse is the rising feeling that, if he knows he's going to lose, and that all hidden things will be made manifest, he'll pull the temple down on his own head. It is time to force a confrontation, and a resignation. It won't happen, but let history record that it should have."
Meet G4 EA H1N1, the newly-discovered swine flu in Chinese slaughterhouses. Potential for human infection. Needs a catchier name, like "OH MY GOD NOT AGAIN!"
Trump has a message for African Americans, so he went to Fox News and conveyed it via Brian Kilmeade: "If you don't understand your history, you will go back to it again." Which sounds like a threat, since he wants people to learn history by looking at statues of dead white generals who fought to preserve slavery. Books just mix you up.
Three months ago Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz was the first NBA player to test positive for coronavirus. At the press conference where this was announced he thought it was funny to go around touching every camera and piece of equipment, because he does not like sportswriters. He is now well enough to work out but says he has not fully recovered his sense of smell. Or apologized.
The public toilets at Balmoral are closed because of the pandemic, and visitors are shitting all over the queen's Scottish estate. Being royal is not what it used to be.
