Economics

Here's what seems to be happening: The Blob has been clinging to a fairly consistent approval rating of around 40 to 42 percent. The larger share of his support comes from morons, misfits and yahoos who're treating this national malfunction as the zaniest reality show on TV, but there's a smaller share provided by people who tolerate The Blob because they coasting in a favorable economic environment. The Blob knows that if the economy goes sour enough, that group won't stick around out of blind loyalty to him. He could drop from the low 40's to the mid 30's fairly rapidly, and kiss the November election goodbye.

That would be the best explanation for his anxiety over ending the social-distancing requirements that have been introduced in a number of states, and why he's making noise about opening up for business in a matter of days.

Beware of the Blob!

The Blob's "press briefings" should only be televised live on Fox News, with all the other networks showing delayed versions with the self-adulation bullshit and false statements edited out. This might limit the damage caused by The Blob's lies to only the people who've been asking for it.

In a related story, The Blob is apparently working on a plan to funnel mucho tax dinero into his trump organization scam operation.

Added 11:19 PM: Rest assured, if there's easy $$$$ available to The Blob, it'll end up in his pocket. Being able to loot the U.S. treasury at every opportunity was a factor in the deal he made with Putin and other Russian power players (that stuff we're supposed to believe never happened).

Could be worse...

If you think it's bad now, can you imagine what it'd be like if we had an incompetent asshole in the White House... oh, wait. Never mind.

Sunday Update

Thanks to the spreading COVID-19, people are lining up at stores to pay three bucks for a roll of toilet paper. The whole MAGA concept was bullshit, since there was nothing Donny Dime Snatcher was capable of doing that would improve the United States even a tiny bit.

Donnie's campaign logo should be MAD, standing for MAKING AMERICA DYSTOPIAN. The next three (D) presidents will face the real challenge of making America great again, and it may take more than three.
