Ahhh Summer national holidays! And really a tale of two countries, one with a strong Federal Government and national health care the other led by a dangerously stupid narcissist delegating all responsibility down the line. Canada like the other normal democracies has bent the curve and reopening carefully as cases decline, cases in Canada this week just over 100,000 now compare to the US who stands at over 3 million! Turns out Texas, Florida and especially Republican states are showing a huge uptick in cases mostly due to stupidity! In Florida where cases have exploded to 100,000 in a week, over 3,000 cases daily, the angry bug up his ass- Desantis insists the growth in cases is due to more testing, echoing the dip shit in chief Trump and is also blaming young people. Well, I also blame young people but who cares? Blame is not helping anything, make people wear masks!!!
Canada Day was a low key affair with a message from the PM and no celebrations, compare to Trumps 4th of July corona-palooza events! In a life imitating art moment Trump is like something out of a South Park episode where Cartman has decided that more people should get the virus and cause a forest fire while also insulting all minorities prompting more rioting in the streets. On Friday Trump goes to Mount Rushmore to hold a rally with people crammed together not wearing masks, have fireworks in a normally fire restricted forest and basically insult all minorities, happy 4th everyone, hope y'all get the virus! It does not help that the Governor of South Dakota is also like some made up character with the accent of the South Park Mayor and the looks and personality of a FOX News beauty! Sheesh! We already know that 8 Secret Service members contracted covid in Arizona on the trip with Pence and Pepe The Frog lookalike Kimberly Gilfoyle (Trump Jr. girlfriend) contracted covid as well. These people attending these rallies not taking precautions are fools and they are asking for it. My question is how long will it take for cases to explode from this BS and Trump has to cancel his rallies prompting him to god knows what juvenile reaction!?!?! The contrast between Trump and normal leaders is the belief in science, Trump does not want to believe facts, as right wing pundit David Frum said recently "he is affected by magical thinking" he does not want to believe reality it's what crashed his stupid businesses and it is killing Americans right now and will kill more. Right now Biden has a 12 point national lead in the polls and we hear Republicans are panicking, oh well, you created this monster you deal with the fallout!!!
As for young people, I overheard a young man recently bragging about how he follows the rules in public but not in private and I believe this is the attitude of most young people. This generation all won medals remember and never had to sacrifice anything so I think mask wearing should be mandatory in public, it's very simple and will help. Do you want to have some semblance or normality or go down the path of stupidville USA????
Well, it's supposed to be Stampede time in Calgary but it is cancelled of course, I miss the nightly fireworks however the dog does not, but I miss the fun energy in a way too. At least we don't have a beach, just seeing on TV all the footage of Americans flocking to the beach, it's stupid!
A curious thing happened all across America on the 4th of July, thousands of fireworks in every city across the nation. Now we know Americans love the 4th and fireworks but just the sheer number of them as we saw in a shot of the L.A. skyline must have deeper meaning. It is a sign of the times and I think shows deeper feelings about the virus, the stupid President, where the country is going etc. these are crazy times don't ignore spontaneous public displays.
