Pre COVID-19:

The Left: “Trump is a monster for making economic migrants wait in their home countries while applying for refugee status.  They should be allowed to come here and roam freely while their case is adjudicated.”

Post COVID-19:

The Left: “Trump’s travel ban from China – the one that 15 minutes ago we were calling racist – was useless because it only applied to Chinese nationals.  The US should have abandoned its citizens in a hot zone overseas in February. ”

I’m sorry but this is well beyond the pale.

The same people who wanted open borders for illegals now wanted US citizens denied entry to the US during a crisis.

We do not leave our people behind.  The Left is just fucking evil.

A commentor gave me a great idea.

Hollywood has been critical non-stop of Trump and demanding that the shutdown remain in effect for months.

I propose to help people during the lockdown the Trump administration immediately suspend all copyrights on entertainment and nationalize all TV, movie, and music streaming services, making them free for the American people, for the duration of the shutdown.

Until the lockdown ends you wan watch and download everything you want without paying.

I’m just asking Hollywood to sacrifice their royalties until we can all go back to work.

I guarantee that if Trump did that New York and California would fully reopen by the end of the day.

L:ast Saturday, Bette Midler posted this in Twitter from her home in NYC:

Mind you, the poor & Cabin Fever semi-demented woman probably saw photos taken of the beaches in other years and during big weekends or celebrations, apparently pissed off petty and jealous souls decided to do shot like that because they are having their own cases of Cabin Fever and Jellied Spine.  First Coast News posted a drone video of a beach opened in Jacksonville.

Now, I almost sort of understand the oozing jealousy pouring out of Karen Bette Midler: New York is leading, no, it is a Third World country of its own when it comes to being infected by the virus. Take a guess which one is dear ole Gotham?

New Yorkers are proud to live the way they live. Fine, it is their right and God Bless their little hearts. I’ve been there once visiting and truthfully I never had the urge to repeat the experience. But with a high concentration of people come a high concentration of problems and this time the problem was of a deadly nature as the graphic above shows. New Yorkers have condemned themselves to use mostly public transportation and that, in times of Pandemic, is not quite the best way to go if you want to remain uninfected:

A recently-published academic paper concludes that the subways have indeed been New York’s worst virus problem:

New York City’s multitentacled subway system was a major disseminator – if not the principal transmission vehicle – of coronavirus infection during the initial takeoff of the massive epidemic that became evident throughout the city during March 2020.

DID THE SHUTDOWN OF NEW YORK CITY FAIL?

Please go read the rest of the article plus a PJ Media article mentioned in it. It is illuminating.

I forget where I read that a New Yorker was complaining people outside the city were not showing the same love after 9/11. He is right, people are not feeling the same “love” because frankly we are kind of tired of the histrionics from people like Cuomo  who  wants all the supplies for New York and fuck everybody else and of course attitudes like Karen Bette Midler trying to dictate New York “morals” (I know, that was a stretch) against people that are not in her zip code, nor having to deal with viral cesspool conditions like her town. And wait till the Narrative about the Nation-Wide Shutdown shifts to “I lost my job and savings because the virus response was the same as the shithole New York instead of where I live.”

So, to the Karens of New York: Tend to your problems, get your house in order and leave the rest of the country alone.

Let’s say you have a buddy who is getting married.

And let’s say your buddy tells you his fiance has set up a wedding registry on Amazon.

You can go to that wedding registry and buy something his fiance wants and have it shipped directly to their address.

You can back out and add a bunch of stuff to that registry order and have it all shipped to their house in one package, as long as it all has the same Amazon prime delivery date.

Let’s say you are a generous friend, that wants them to enjoy their staycation honeymoon.

I’m just saying it’s possible to send both a Dutch oven set, a large bottle of personal lubricant, and a bouquet of dildos in the same box, direct from Amazon prime.

First from Oberbürgermeister de Blasio:

How do you report places that aren’t enforcing social distancing? It’s simple: just snap a photo and text it to 311-692. #AskMyMayor pic.twitter.com/WQdCcVf1Rl

First of all, Also, (and I will admit that this is my opinion) New Yorkers are not “warm” people.  They are assholes.

But more importantly, New Yorkers have been shit as social distancing.

As the New York Post put it, Google data show New Yorkers doing less social distancing than people in Italy, Spain.  

Or as ABC7NY put it, Coronavirus News: Social distancing is not happening on the NYC subway.

That is why the mayor wants people to rat out their fellow citizens who are not following his protocols.

New York is not alone, the mayor of Los Angeles wants his residents to do the same thing.

To protect our communities, non-essential businesses must remain closed during our Safer at Home emergency order. To report non-essential businesses that are operating illegally, visit: https://t.co/bgKX7F8JmF. pic.twitter.com/7cyPU9Taof

Do you own a small business that the Governor has decided is “non-essential?”

Are you trying to keep your head above water during this time?

Don’t worry, the city of LA will have have the good people of the city rat you out to the LAPD for hiding Jews in your attic staying open trying to make ends meet.

I can’t imagine a worse thing to do than empower every Karen in New York and LA to call or text a secret hotline to turn in their neighbors for violating a guideline.

I’m not saying that social distancing is a bad thing, but encouraging people to call the cops for not social distancing is right out of the George Orwell playbook.

Once again, I have to remind Leftists:

1984 was not to be used as a “how to” manual.  

Patton Oswalt used to be a genuinely funny guy.  I thought his old standup was hilarious.

Unfortunately, like much of Hollywood, he has been affected by a severe case of TDS.

That lead him to Tweet this, thinking it was witty.

There are so many things wrong with this that it’s hard to know where to begin.

Anne Frank didn’t hide in an attic because some politicians decided she needed to social distance to halt the spread of the flu.

She hid in an attic for two years because the Nazis were engaged in the genocide of the Jews.  When she was discovered, she was sent to a concentration camp where she died of Tyhups.

During the Holocaust, 85% of Jews who were sent to concentration camps were exterminated.  By 1943, the German mass murder machine was gassing 6,000 people per day.  Putting that in comparison, the total number of US Coronavirus deaths are not even a full week of work at Auschwitz.

Comparing Jews hiding from mass extermination to the overreaction of some politicians to a virus is obscene.

Such a downplaying of the Holocaust would get him excoriated if he were not such a Leftist.

And if he statement was even close to reality, his Tweet suggests that Nazieque tyranny is fine if you have Netflix and Grub Hub, which smacks so hard of Aldous Huxley’s Soma that it makes my head spin.

The irony here is that Oswalt in one of those who spent the last three years saying “Trump is Orange Hitler,” but now wants you to accept your governors having the power to make you hide in an attic.

Lastly, the assumption that the people protesting are doing it because of the inconvenience and not that they are going bankrupt and want to go back to work and make a paycheck is a completely out of touch take on the situation.

What I can guarantee is that the people who are screaming to reopen the Fuddruckers are the franchise owners – who are small business owners – and their employees who are losing money and their life savings in the shutdown.

Oswalt is an actor worth $14 million, and he makes his money mostly doing funny voices for cartoon characters.  His eating delivery while watching Netflix isn’t destroying his career.

This “let them eat home-delivery cake” coming from wealthy celebrities is really starting to grate.

I think my performance guillotines are going to hot sellers when this shit is over.

Trump saw the World Health Organization’s totally incompetent, Chinese lickspittle response to the Coronavirus outbreak and decided to defund it.

Reflexively, the Left started their caterwauling of “how dare Trump defund such a vital organization!”

Then, in the single most tone-deaf, Trump justifying, hold me beer act anyone could imagine, the WHO announced this:

The WHO is collaborating with Lady Gaga for a concert staring every celebrity you forgot existed and stopped giving a shit about during the Coronacrisis.

As people’s focus has been consumed by important things, like trying to survive financially in these trying times, and mourning the loss of those who died of a virus, Hollywood and the music industry have been suffering mightily from a lack of attention, which is the sustenance that sustains them.

They have untied in the most impossibly bad way to use the Coronavirus outbreak to make themselves the center of attention.

Their message couldn’t be clearer: “While you people at home are making masks and donating food to doctors, nurses, and first responders on the front lines against the Coronavirus, won’t you think about the poor, ignored, millionaire celebrities?”

The only thing that could get me to watch this would be if all these celebrities were trapped on an island with a bunch of Coronavirus patients and told to fight to the death for the one available N95 mask.

The fact is, this bullshit proves that Trump cannot defund the WHO fast enough.
