Day 205, Part One: Strap In, It's About To Get UGLY

Dovetailing off last night's big news...

I think we COULD be the weekend from a new President and a dynamic change in this country.  (And I'm not necessarily saying a good one.  Mr. Mayonnaise Dominionist is a very dangerous man -- he's also been announced as testing negative this morning.)

But that's not what I want to talk about.  I want to explain why I said what I just said.

There are two major reasons I think Trump is far further down the road toward the end that I think anyone will care to admit:

First, I do not, in any way, believe this is his first positive for the coronavirus.  I recall immediately back in February, when this was still over "on the other side of the world".  Trump had gone to wallow with some supporters in India -- and, within a couple of days of that event, if I recall correctly, that part of India had announced cases of the coronavirus.  I also recall several speeches where he sounded like he had either a cold-level case of the sniffles or was snorting cocaine just before them.

I recall watching various reports in the seven months since that Trump had this aide or that person he had visited, etc. test positive for the virus -- and kept wondering every day and week as to how he, with all his co-morbidities and everything else, could even think of keeping a clean bill of health with his travel, his ignorance, that of his supporters (including positive virus cases surrounding almost every event this son of a bitch actually has had...), many people in his employ and in his constituency believing this virus is nothing but a false sham...

Look, I liked to go out and about.  I would spend hours a day on a walk to get cans and bottles to help myself get from one month to the next.  And that I can't walk like that because of this virus has probably resulted that, even if we ever DO get a vaccine, I won't be able to do it again.  Aging and sciatica are no joke.

The amount I have foregone to do the right thing isn't as much as others, and I am thankful I, nor anyone close to me, has been infected with this shit.  But I will be DAMNED if you want to tell me this is a fake -- because, frankly, if it were, you don't want to KNOW what comes next on that kind of a governmental situation.

Back to my point:  The second reason that I believe Trump is far further down the road than anyone will admit is because of his arrogance, his bully nature, all of this that makes people like the "We can finally fuck them up" Proud Boys want to support this pig:  He sees, like many of his friends, including Vince McMahon, any sickness or the like as a structural weakness to be exploited and damned for.

It is inconceivable to believe that Donald Trump would announce himself that he is positive for the coronavirus except under one of two cases:

1) He wishes to SHOW it's fake.

or 2) He's dying from it and he knows it.

The man is over 70.  He's fat and almost certainly has the co-morbidities which come with that fact.  I'm pushing 300 pounds at 51 and he makes me look TINY, in all three dimensions.

He is the poster child for the type of person who, even if all the taunts of "Boomer Remover" and the desires this virus removes the irresponsible from the equation, should be in lethal trouble from this virus on at least a 1 in 10 basis.

And now, word leaking out this morning that:

a) he is not only symptomatic

but b) word is coming that his advisers and handlers have seen him as symptomatic since at least Wednesday!

This is not a man who suffers weakness and illness well.  He beats the shit out of those he considers "lessers".  Why would he admit to be one of "them" if it weren't serious enough that there's a very real chance we get President Mayonnaise? 

Many days, and this does have a lot to do with sports as well, I do begin to wonder if this virus (whatever bioweapon manmade or similar situation made it) came from God as a point of Him saying "I gave you an opportunity to clean your own house from the rape, pedophilia, sexual abuse, etc. endemic in your culture and you refused.  So now I kill your sacred cows because they must go."

Strap in, people.  This ride is about to get sickeningly fast.
