THE ABSURD TIMES
This is Hard to Believe

This was put out by Move On, and is probably underestimating the problem. However, it is a good place to start. Politicians have been telling us that we do not need the "Medicare for All" type healthcare because most people prefer the healthcare benefits they get with their jobs. Once fired (or we use the term "laid off"), they loose that healthcare. Still, we are also told that such healthcare is SOCIALIST and Pol Pot was a socialist. People believe that.
Now, what they do not know is that the original leader of Cambodia, Prince Sianook (or however it's spelt), would not let us into his country to continue with Viet Nam. Nixon's "plan" to end the war included invading Cambodia and, with the help of Henry Kissinger, depose the guy. Eventually, this Pol Pot took over, so a Republican administration put him into power.
I had a patient once who eventually told me about his activities in Cambodia. He also told me that if he did tell me, he would be killed and so would I. He was captured and tortured. He said that the pulling out of his toenails and fingernails was the worse, but not the only part. Obviously, he suffered from PTSD and he used drinking to deal with it. He eventually shot himself in the head. I have not yet been killed, but if they want to kill me, I'm available. Just so everyone remembers that it was a Republican administration.
Still, rest easy. Universal healthcare will not require your nails to be pulled. (Not even in the South.)
These are from Carlos Latuff, inspired by the fact that he noticed both Google and Apple have eliminated Palestine from their maps. I once had fun with the fact that some Israeli lobby ranked him the third most "anti-Semitic" entity in the world. I thought he should be proud as ranking fourth was "European Football Fans". Now imagine how many European football fans there are. The number is in the millions, yet Latuff managed to beat all of them! In other world, one of the top three in the world, and being in the top three of anything is quite a

Now, why did I announce that I had nothing more to say?

It got too easy. Where is the challenge in finding the absurd in Trump's actions?
For example, Trump has talked to Roger Stone more in the last few months than to Dr. Fauci. Why? Easy, Fauci lacks a tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back. Ask a silly question, … .
In the UK people carry signs saying: ALL AMERICANS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT.
Bill Kristol and George Will have been making sense lately. That is how low we have sunk. I must admit, however, that George Will was always correct in his pronouncements concerning Baseball, especially Chicago baseball.
A poll result recently revealed that 3 our of every 4 Americans trusted Fauci rather than Trump on pandemics. That scared me because I wondered where they found the fourth guy. Under some rocks, I suppose? How is that possible? It doesn't make any sense to me.
Remember Trump announced that he was the "Least racist person in the world" and also a "very stable genius." He took a cognitive test and said that the doctors were amazed. At what?
The new rule is that all facts about the pandemic be sent to the government, and bypass the CDC. The CDC publishes it's data.
Florida had more deaths in one day from the disease than Germany, the UK, and Japan, collectively, all in one day. Of course the Governor is a Republican.
The Mayor of Atlanta made mask wearing mandatory and the governor is suing her for that. He is a Republican.
And where is Antifa when we need them? Trump has invaded Portland Oregon with soldiers wearing camouflage outfits and they are well armed. Is this the work of the Secretary of Education's brother? Or is he using federal troops? Sieg Heil, Trump.
Well, I suppose there is nothing more to say, but I am reminded of an exchange in the movie Casablanca. Some Nazis are questioning the saloon owner Rick about the German advances. Finally, they get to the point of Germany invading the United States. At that point, Rick warns that there are "a few neighborhoods in New York" that they might be advised to avoid. When Trump was talking about perhaps invading Chicago, that exchange immediately came to mind as there are some areas of Chicago even I was careful to avoid. In fact, one seemed to develop a sixth sense about even crossing certain streets into what would be an entirely different neighborhood. Now, I am sure that the exact neighborhoods have not remained the same geographically, but they certainly do exist. Then there are the Chicago Cops to contend with as well. They will take their lead from the Mayor (whether they like her or not) and if she orders, as did Dick Daley once "To shoot to maim or kill," you can count on them to so.
To be sure, Barack Obama or any other member of past administrations would give the same opinion. Still, Donald, if you are ready to Rumble, there is a place that will give you a good contest.
