What can I possibly add? When the maker of Lysol has to issue a public statement that, under no circumstances should its product be introduced into the human body, whether by ingestion or injection, and this statement is for a time the front page headline on CNN, we are in a waking nightmare.
Well, I do have something to add. Dr. Birx sat there, looking like she was dying inside, but she said nothing. The New York Times report reads, and I quote: "At a White House briefing, President Trump theorized — dangerously, in
the view of some experts — about the powers of sunlight, ultraviolet
light and household disinfectants to kill the coronavirus." What do the other experts think, Mr. Baquet? Senator McConnell, do you have a view about this? Secretary Azar? Mr. Vice President?
We have an insane idiot occupying the office of the president of the United States who is literally killing people. And every single person in a position to do anything about it is a sniveling, worthless coward. This situation has been a desperate emergency since November of 2016 and right now we're about to hit the ground from a thousand foot fall and splatter like paint. And Dr. Birx just sits there.

It would be great if one person at a White House stupidity/insanity/propaganda briefing would just take the mike away from The Don and blurt out, "I'm sorry, but this can't go on. It's one thing when it's your demented, alcoholic Uncle Fred at the annual family Christmas gathering ... but this is the White House, this is the presidency, and we need to immediately invoke Article 25 of the U.S. Constitution--the law of the land--and end this carnival sideshow. It's time to put a real leader in place and, with the greatest of compassion, get Shitler [sic] to a clinic where he can be treated for grave narcissistic personality disorder, aphasia, and incipient dementia. People are dying and this is serious; this is not entertainment."
I predict it would wake a lot of people the fuck up. It just takes one person to yell, "THIS IS BULLSHIT." Many others will fall in line. After all, so many have followed Shitler and he's the one person least worth following.
I keep having the feeling that we are living in an alternate universe, that some cosmic mishap happened and the timeline split. In the normal universe, Hillary Clinton is competently running the country, and this one, which is infinitely less likely, a stupid, ignorant psychopath was elected president. It simply makes no sense that this can be happening to us.
I've had the same feeling/thought, and so has my partner, so there are MANY of us having the same Serling-esque sense.
It all reminds me of Philip K. Dick's "The Man in the High Castle." At the end of the book, as I recall, they've figured out that they're in a parallel universe where Japan and Germany have won the war.
A similar short story, by Ray Bradbury, is called "A Sound of Thunder," in which a "big game" hunting company takes "macho" people back tens of millions of years to "bag" dinosaurs that were just about to die anyway, so as not to alter history. But when one hapless fellow steps off the prescribed path and ends up with a dead butterfly on the sole of his shoe, everything going forward changes with disastrous consequences.
We need to do the figure out a way back to real reality, I guess. We need sanity, but instead we've got people like Hannity. Feh!
Regarding the story:
I'm also gobsmacked at the phenomenon of a president whose "cavernous stupidity" (to quote a commentator on MS-NBC last night) is so beyond reprehensible that Shitler and his CYA people have to lie the next day, saying that Shitler was "being sarcastic" or "joking"--when, obviously and tragically, he was not. He cannot joke; he has no sense of humor.
As one man wrote of the priest who sexually abused him and many others, "It was as if we were asked to disbelieve the obvious and accept the improbable."
To quote Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, librettists for Puccini's La Bohème:
"La commedia è stupenda!"
