MAGA!







Modest proposal. Arlington is Arlington because Congress took it from General Lee and built a US military graveyard on his lawn. We should do the same for Covid patients. Bury them with honor on reclaimed Trump golf courses.

Trey Gowdy:

The common flu has killed more people this year already.

As Bocopro points out above, that particular statement by Gowdy is a lie.

I do wish that those on the Right would not tell lies.

This past week, Rush Limbaugh barked (paraphrase):

Think of what happened during the 1918 Flu Pandemic, folks. Nobody wore masks, and nothing shut down.

WRONG!

We have the historical record to the contrary. Look it up, Rush!

And I, personally, have my father’s words:

“The undertaker came to the house and embalmed Chrissie at the house. He dumped the blood behind the barn.” Dad was seven years old, and clearly recalld the loss of the circumstances of the death of his beloved, and last, sister; his first sister succumbed years before to diphtheria.

Chrissie died of the aftereffects of the flu at age 7, which was not the age of most flu deaths at that time.

Why did the undertaker come to the house? The undertakers were closed — as was most of everything else here in Northern Virginia — including churches. By government order? Yes! Dead bodies piling up all over the streets of D.C. resulted in government shutdown.

Let me reiterate: those of the Right should tell the truth about this Wuhan Flu — whatever it is.

Look it up, Rush!

It's encouraging to see people pushing back against the TrumpLie Machine. Whether it gets through to the Trump cultists is another matter.

They've bought into the fantasy that Trump is the greatest thing their party every supported and will never see what the majority of Americans and the world know: Trump is a liar, a cheat, and a fraud.

And the deaths of thousand and thousands of Americans are on him.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Dave Miller said...

Wow... you guys are quick.

AOW did indeed push back against the lies from the "Gowdy" letter. And on a ship makes it a point to respond to all her commenters, AOW was not even acknowledged. See what happens when you go against the party line?

I too sent a comment that way, knowing it will never be posted, or acknowledged. But mine focused on the fact that the premise of the entire post is false. Fmr Rep Gowdy never wrote the post and in fact publicly disavowed it writing...

"Just want to alert folks there is a fraudulent post attributed to me circulating on social media... [This is] not the first time, likely not the last. We have enough going on in our country right now without propagating misinformation. Stay safe and strong.”

But if anything is ever said about the obvious truth and the falsehoods the entire false premise of this post and that conservative blogger AOW decries, it will be something like this...

"Some blogger who I don't permit to post here sent me a comment that my post is not from Rep Trey Gowdy, but that does not change how right what was written is. My post stands."

Shaw Kenawe said...

Dave, I wondered who "Doris L" was, but I published her comment in the event it was real. I often get posts that are copies of comments from other blogs, but sometimes they are really from the commenter, so there's no way of knowing.

That blogger on the Mother Ship often publishes fake news, blast emails that are nothing but propaganda, and now another fake screed not written by Gowdy, but attributed to him.

It says everything one needs to know about those Trump cultists, they're gullible, and we knew that from the day they supported a fraud like Trump.

Dave Miller said...

Shaw... and many times, getting to the truth of whether or not a post is real, or from someone notable is pretty easy. Just type a few words into the Google and voila! The results magically pop up.

It takes work to get to the bottom of things and reach what's real. It's just lazy to not do that work before presenting something as true, or factual.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Today, an fb friend put up a Tweet by Trump that looked like something he would tweet. I checked it out and found it was a fake Tweet attributed to Trump. But it was so horrible, it could have been real:

"Memorial Day is a special day. A day to look back at the sacrifices that have been made for our country. I've sacrificed a lot to be your president and to Make America Great! America is now Great do to my sacrifices. Only losers and haters don't see that."

That was the Tweet under his @realDonaldTrump avatar. It's a perfect parody of him; so perfect, it seemed real.

I checked it out, and in 3 seconds found that it was not from Trump.

The Mother Ship lady is too lazy or too invested in what the fake Gowdy wrote to admit her being sucked in by a fraud.

And yes, I expect her and them to say that the "meaning" of the screed is what matters, not who wrote it. IOW, they too believe the pandemic was cooked up by the Dems in order to defeat Trump in November.

These same people believe the Dems are stupid, incompetent, and unable to govern, yet at the same time they believe the Democrats could orchestrate a pandemic that would kill off millions of people, just to defeat Trump.

Their mind would NEVER allow ration thought or critical thinking to intrude on their fevered fantasies.

SAD!

Doris L. said...

Here's one of their low-IQ, poorly educated Trump lovers trying to figure things out. And then watch it devolve into a typical racist rightwing sewerpit. With them, it's always about race:

"As far as I’m concerned, it’s as plain as the nose on your face. The dems have been in a very obvious self-preservation panic for at least a few years now. Yes, this virus is all about democrats and the election, and the shining star on the outhouse is mail-in ballots. What – you can go to Wal-Mart but not a voting booth? Perfect democrat ‘logic’.

Will much of America figure it out? Who knows.

And whomever Biden (or probably the DNC) picks as VP is the one who will really be running for President. Good golly, watch it be that overweight, seriously overdue for dental work, transgender and out of work Buckwheat from Georgia."

Dave Miller said...

Doris and Shaw...

I've already seen people calling Abrams Aunt Jemima...

And as they will tell you, it's not racist, it's just funny. Because nothing, absolutely nothing, ever rises to the level of being racism for that crowd.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Doris L. and Dave, That's from the crowd who call Muslims "vermin." Just like Hitler and the Nazis, they dehumanize anyone they don't understand and are frighten by. The saddest part is that those folks like to call themselves Christians while embracing a person who is everything their Savior warned he flock against. When this is over maybe they'll come to see how their support of Trump and racism destroyed their party, the GOP.

Les Carpenter said...

No they won't Shaw. It will be Marxism and the progressive dems (ie: Cultural Marxism), democratic socialists (ie: Cultural Marxism), the un-Americanism of the libs and progs and their desire to destroy American greatness. Rinse and repeat.

Of course its all BS but that will won't stop the trump cultists (trumotards) from beleiving and spreading their off the wall garbage.

Dervish Sanders said...

According to the other side "if the Economic Lockdowns Ultimately End Up Causing More Deaths than the Wuham-Virus, the Politicians Who Instituted Them Should Be Charged with Crimes Against Humanity".

So, while Dotard ignored the coronavirus, then decided he could wish it away, ultimately he did nothing wrong. Because doing nothing is the correct course of action. Minus FJ says we should be following the "Swedish Model" but I say what they really want is for us to be following the Brazil model (in a prior conversation with Minus he told me that he was pleased with the election of Bolsonaro. An indication that his way of thinking was winning out all over the world).

They call it the "herd immunity" strategy. I say it's a "thinning the herd" strategy. So long as you don't personally know anyone who's died (and you are a Dotard supporter) you're probably inclined to believe the "pandemic" is being blown out of proportion. And that the death figures are being inflated (it's "just the flu" and a "relatively harmless virus").

It's another Democrat "hoax" intended to harm Dotard's re-election chances. Although he WILL be re-elected anyway. Because it's all the fault of Fauci, The WHO, China and the Democrat governors. And if Biden were president things would be worse because he'd have shut things down sooner and we'd be in a forever lockdown.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Derv, so the "pro-lifers" show themselves to be the hypocrites that they've always been. "Thinning the herd?" What would the Baby Jesus say?

Minus and his gang still believe they're the majority, when in fact, they're a misguided and pathetically ignorant minority.

They can't face reality, so they continue to feed themselves lies and fantasies.

Just like the idiot they support.

Dave Miller said...

Here's the struggle in America.

It's 8pm EST on Wednesday. America has passed the 100,000 person death mark of Covid-19. There's no mention of this on the front page of FOX News or on the front page of their Coronavirus page dedicated to news of the pandemic.

How can we expect to have intelligent conversations with ppl who get their news from a site that doesn't even publish "just the facts"?

It's ludicrous.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Dave, this truth we know: If we had a Democrat in the presidency, those folks would be running around with their hair on fire over the 100,000 deaths. When one of their own is this incompetent and heartless, they're either too ashamed to acknowledge it or they just don't care. Maybe both.

Dave Miller said...

11:30om EST... Still nothing on FOX News online.

There is a story on a 103 year old man cracking open a beer to celebrate his coronavirus recovery. And another about some lawyer saying masks are about social control.

But the 100,000 dead? Nothing from FOX or our president.

Stunning.
