Endangered Nation

Wackydoodle sez: it just did!
More: Don't let the relatively low death rate per capita figure fool you. The US has double the per capita deaths of Germany, Denmark and Portugal. Belgium's highest death per capita figure is due to regulatory rigor, not a broken health care system. At the pandemic peak in the country, 43% of this nation's intensive care beds were unoccupied. Belgium counts probable cases and deaths in nursing homes. If the US were to do that, its per capita figure would be closer to Belgium's.  Who needs testing when it would only reveal the true extent of the pandemic disaster in this country?  Certainly not Total Douche!

Latest: The storm of ridicule for his dangerously ignorant suggestions [below] finally was too much even for Narcissus bombastis. He cut his propaganda show, Brief the Nation, short and did not take questions from reporters, which he exploits as a free opportunity to promote himself, and engage in confrontational rhetoric. "NASTY!" Do you want to help your nation in this time of plague? Then turn the channel on the Chosen One, if he does not quit first.

So if you are a die hard Trump believer and are infected with COVID-19, you should follow your supreme leader's suggestion, zombie-like, and inject yourself with alcohol or bleach, to clean out your lungs.  If Total Douche says do it, then it must be true and the nay-saying nabobs are just punk commie America- haters. No doctor in their right mind will flush you, so you have take your life into your own hands, which should not be a problem for a rugged individualist like yourself. Report your results, if you are still alive after the treatment.

The fact that this floundering apprentice of a president stands in front of a sign that says in large capital letters "The White House" for the world to see, while he spews his mendacious nonsense, is one of the saddest spectacles in this nation's history, and there have been a few.  Totale Trumpillini is so desperate to feed his mental illness that he will say just about anything to get camera coverage*. US COVID-19 Deaths (est.): 50,000+

*This relevant quote from Hanah Arendt's Origins of Totalitarianism: The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.  The fascist beast, in the guise of the evangelical extreme right, has returned in our times. The UK's Guardian reports that one of these crazies wrote to Total Douche this week about the miracles of industrial bleach against COVID-19. Mark Grenon, the head of a fringe group known as "Genesis II", which poses as a religious organization, wrote Total Douche that chloride dioxide, an industrial cleaning solvent, "can rid the body of COVID-19." Since the start of the pandemic, Genesis II has been marketing MMS (Mineral Miracle Solution, its name for bleach) as a cure for corona virus. It advises users, including children, to mix three to six drops of bleach in water and drink it.  This dangerously irresponsible quackery has been repeated by Alan Keyes, a former political advisor to Ronald Regan, on a web based TV program.
