Diary 268

Friday, December 11th

The former ‘president’ has been holding parties at which masks were not in great evidence. Asked about it in a White House question session he did not deny it, but said he’d seen ‘a lot of masks’ amongst the guests. Those masks would have been removed for eating and drinking and photo ops, of course.  Clearly there is one law for the rich and one for the poor, but in this case it seems the wealthy are happy to risk destroying themselves. It’s a topsy-turvy world in Donaldland. As Jimi Hendrix sang, “If the six became a nine, I don’t mind.”

But it gets worse. Stephen Hahn, the chief of the FDA, has told reporters that he was instructed by the White House, via Mark Meadows, to approve the vaccine right away or find a new job. Is this the way we want to operate?

Between 2700 and 3300 covid deaths were recorded each day this week.

The good news is that the Supreme Court reject a lawsuit filed by Texas to overturn the election results. My hope is that the people who paid for this ridiculous suit lose their money and so get the opportunity to think again about what they’re doing.
