Pandemic + Election = Troompa Loompa Implosion?

There’s a school of thought Stateside that all Joe Biden need do to win in 2020, is light Donald Trump’s fuse and step well back. Some political observers think Joe might not even need to do that. That master of ‘cool’, the 44 th  President Barack Obama has given some advice to his former Vice-President. Keep speeches, interviews and tweets short and sweet. Calmness will win the day. Due to his 77-years, Joe is libel to a few verbal slips and some mind wandering moments that send his advisers into a tale-spin. Recently he gaffed that 125 million Americans had died from COVID19, when he meant to say 125,000. Compare that to the everyday carnage of Trump’s Presidency, with screws visibly loosening and daily temper tantrums indicating implosion is always imminent. So, the word on Pennsylvania Avenue is for Joe to keep his cool, drink plenty of water and avoid any more mistakes, that make him look decrepit. The fact that the Coronavirus has claimed 125,000 American lives is really hurt...

Can CoronAmerica resist the narcissist?

On November 3 rd  2020, surviving COVID19 Americans will decide between a creepy, forgetful Septuagenarian weird, uncle figure and a Septuagenarian racist, pussy-grabbing, misogynist with an Olympian Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Donald J Trump has consistently displayed all the classic symptoms of NPD, for four long years. The  Freudian  checklist for Donald’s chronic narcissism will begin to sound familiar very quickly. First does the 45th   President possess a grandiose sense of self-importance? Does the Pope do number twos in the woods? Arrogant, vain with a relentless sense of his own superiority, (‘I have the best words’). Trump is the most malignant Narcissist since Herr Hitler. From the day Donnie first threw his toys out of the Trump gold-plated  perambulator , he’s been ‘special’. We, after all are lucky to have him. Does Donald live in a fantasy world that supports his titanic delusions of grandeur? Again, Pope Francis is back in the woods d...

COVID Conspiracy Theories spread faster than COVID19!

Trying to make sense of the car crash that is 2020, is a tricky business. Which is why conspiracy theories are born. From a laboratory manufactured bioweapon to tracker vaccines, that know what you had for breakfast. One man’s conspiracy theory is a trillion men’s misinformation. Clutching at straws is what human beings do, when our world is in meltdown. In writing this piece I do not wish to trivialise the gravity of the situation we find ourselves in. The very nature of Social Media and the light speed a rumour, falsehood or fabrication, can whizz around the globe is frightening. I sincerely urge you to stay safe by continuing to practice good hygiene and physical distancing. As well as avoiding public gatherings and by isolating yourself, if need be. It’s a tough call but these are tough times. So, in no particular order here are some of the more colourful Coronavirus conspiracies that are nuttier than Secret Squirrel doo-doo. First, as I’ve already mentioned, features a swarthy ...

‘COVID Clinton’? It’s all Hillary’s fault!

President Donald Dump pointed out way back in 2016, that all the woes of America were the fault of one woman and one woman only: Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton. This of course, includes the Coronavirus known as COVID19. Has the President been off his meds again? ‘At first I didn’t believe it because I did not think a woman could spread a virus. Hillary, she must be a cyborg; they’re totally nasty. Cyborgs. Nasty.’ Donald has even upgraded his handle for his former Presidential rival from ‘Crooked Hillary’ to ‘COVID Clinton’.     Hillary, Me Old China. Hillary was always going to return and be a thorn in the portly side of the President. Now she’s back and has really rattled Donald’s cage, ‘Guess who spread the novel Coronavirus around the U.S? ‘COVID Clinton’. I have handled this whole thing perfectly. Everything that went wrong in the U.S is because of her.’ Trump then tweeted an explanation of sorts, ‘I have a lot of different nicknames for Hillary – ‘Evil Pantsuit W...

Donnie Darth-O, COVID19 and 4 more TRUMPet blowing years?

Should Donald Trump’s re-election campaign line be, ‘May The Farce Be With You’? In the run-up to the presidential election in November, the U.S. is quickly descending into farce. In Georgia, traditionally a Republican stronghold, the Democrats chances of winning a special election were scuppered by COVID19, George Floyd protests, ballots failing to arrive, voting machines malfunctioning, provisional ballots running out and Uncle Tom Cobley and all! Carry On Up the Ballot Box! Questions, questions! Will President Trump actually make it to November? The U.S. now has a record 2 million cases of COVID19, with a death toll of over 115,000 and rising. Civil unrest, with ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests are reminiscent of post Martin Luther King’s assassination, in 1968. As Trump’s tenure in the White House lurches from one crisis to another it will be viewed by history, as a low point of the Republic. Is the System broken? Rumour has it that Republicans are prepared to lose the White House, ...

George & COVID19: Triggering a second American Civil War?

The first shots of a second American Civil War may have already been fired. COVID19 ravaged cities across the United States, still have George Floyd protesters on the streets, weeks after he was killed. Is indifference, bitterness, grievance and good old-fashioned hate, dividing America enough to mobilise combatants to a second American Civil War? Telling Tweets. The Orange Man in The White House recently turned on his own Social Media Channel. Accusing Twitter of liberal bias, after they had the temerity to fact-check a Trump Tweet. ‘Social Media Platforms totally silence conservative voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down.’ Spookily, the most telling Tweet wasn’t tapped out by small orange fingers but came from an Evangelical, Pastor Robert Jeffress. ‘If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office, it will cause a Civil War which our Country will never heal.’ Scary s***! North verses South? Not this time. So, who’ll be fighti...

Tears, Tear Gas and COVID19?

If we thought our pandemic gripped world couldn’t get any worse, we were wrong. With the murder of George Floyd by the lethal use of a Minneapolis police officer’s knee, cities across the world have risen with mass gatherings of protesters. Outrage for George’s unlawful and  unnecessary  death have stoked fears the contagion will spread, as many protests occurred in Coronavirus hot spots. With streets flooded with demonstrators, many not wearing masks and the police responding with tear gas, the perfect Petri dish for COVID19 has been created. Imperfect Timing. George’s murder and subsequent protests have come just as many communities were beginning to lower their guard. Restrictions were gradually being loosened. In terms of COVID19, the protests couldn’t have happened at a worse time, with fears for a second more deadly wave, making the first look like a walk in the park. Months of social distancing have been overturned overnight. Fresh outbreaks could see the rein...

U.S. in the grip of Moronavirus?

In the United States, Coronavirus has mutated into Moronavirus! Worryingly, even though there is an international travel ban, this mutation of STUPID20 is spanning oceans and crossing borders with ease. We might try to compensate for Moronavirus’s spread, by saying the world has never had to deal with anything like of COVID19 before but recent U.S. lockdown protests, have probably spread the virus further. Data from protester’s cell phones suggest, the virus travelled hundreds of miles after these protest rallies were over. Little or no precautions were taken and the consequences will become apparent, when America’s death toll breaks through the 100,000 barrier.  Second Wave inevitable? These anti-lockdown protests seem to have provided perfect conditions to launch a second wave of COVID19 in America. Trying to explain exactly what an epidemiologist is to a protester, might have been a task for Fox News. Taking advice from an expert in controlling diseas...
