Evil Democrats Again
Go After Puppies and Christmas
Puppies and Christmas factored in the latest GOP (trumpers all) fusillade against President Joe Biden, the Democrats and Biden’s medical advisor, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci.
I would like to clear up two of the crazier issues that have been recently raised by the Republicans.
1. President Biden and the evil, anti-God Democrats did not invent the supply chain crisis in order to derail and destroy the Christmas season and the spirit of good will to all.
2. Despite a campaign headlined by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kent., Dr. Anthony S. Fauci did not orchestrate a campaign to sadistically torture and kill puppies as part of a “twisted scientific effort.”
The malarkey about being anti-Christmas is being driven by the Republicans’ (read: trumpers all) longstanding claim so carefully crafted by the bad guys on the right that the Democrats always have and always will be a part of the Marxist, anti-Christ movement.
This is what Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., chairman of the Republican Study Committee, wrote in a memo to the committee and publicized by Fox News: “Our job as Republicans is to explain to the American people what the grinches at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave did to ruin Christmas.”
Grinches indeed. The reasons for the supply chain problems have little if anything to do with Biden and date back to the start of the pandemic, complicated by factors including a drop in production of critical components of products and a shortage of container ships to bring to consumers the many items that originate abroad. It’s safe to say, and I’ll go on that limb to say, that neither Biden nor the Democrats, in general, have any bad things to say about Santa et al or Jesus Christ, for that matter.
P.S. On Sunday, Twitter suspended Banks’s account because the trump-adoring congressman intentionally misgendered Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine, the first openly transgender Senate-confirmed federal official. Reacting to the news on Twitter, Banks wrote that the historic honor had been taken by a “man.” And sorry, Mr. Congressman, it is not in your purview to decide on anyone’s gender identity.
Here’s another Banksian statement that I can debunk:
Banks claimed that he is the ranking Republican on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. That is how he signed at least one letter requesting information from a federal agency related to Congress’ probe of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. I don’t understand how he could be the ranking Republican on the committee because he isn’t even a member of the committee, but I’m just nitpicking.
Regarding the evil puppy experiments, the N.Y. Post reported (erroneously) on Sunday that horrible experiments on wittle puppies were funded by a grant from a division of the National Institutes of Health to a lab in Tunisia “to torture and kill dozens of beagle puppies for twisted scientific experiments.”
“‘Cruel’ (Dr. Anthony) Fauci is condemned for … experiments which saw beagles ‘de-barked’ and trapped in cages so flies could eat them alive,” reported Britain’s gossipy tabloid, The Daily Mail, noting “a Tunisian research lab where beagle puppies were force-fed a new drug.”
A story in today’s Washington Post examined the claims and found they were nothing more than right wing disinformation to further besmirch and decapitate Fauci from the government. The Tunisian study was erroneously attributed to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). NIAID funded different research in Tunisia but the beagles weren’t puppies, they weren’t euthanized, they weren’t “de-barked” and they weren’t “trapped” so “flies could eat them alive,” the Post reported.
And while I’m debunking, I can’t completely debunk the fact that was espoused by trump during his first presidential run, that the father of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was mysteriously alongside John F. Kennedy’s assassin shortly before the president was murdered. I’d rather have bone spurs debunk it because he said it. I don’t feel badly about not debunking the Cruz story because it’s just desserts for the good senator from Texas, who vacations in Mexico when things get too hot at home, and who was quick to jump on Fauci, one of the world’s leading epidemiologists, and charge that Fauci and the National Institutes of Health have been “torturing puppies.”
“Remind me again how Fauci still has a job???” Cruz tweeted.
“Remind me again how Cruz still has a job???” says I.
“Remind me again how Paul still has a job?? I say.
And as far as questioning how someone still has a job, I turn to the bloviator of misinformation, Sen. Paul, who has regularly criticized Fauci and this week intoned that Biden should fire Fauci “just for lack of judgment, if nothing else.” Paul, an ophthalmologist, apparently is as blind as a bat to the facts concerning Fauci, who is not an eye doctor but is the director of the NIAD and the Chief Medical Advisor to the President.
Paul based his baseless comments on his interpretation of a report outlining U.S. research conducted in Wuhan, China, into various viruses by the National Institutes of Health. In response, Fauci said Paul doesn’t know what he is talking about because it is “molecularly impossible” for the viruses that were researched by U.S. scientists in China to have produced COVID-19.
“They were distant enough molecularly that no matter what you did to them, they could never, ever become SARS,” Fauci said.
Not to be silent, Cruz, who claimed the NIH tortured puppies, tweeted Monday that “Anthony Fauci’s NIH funded the Wuhan lab that ‘did indeed enhance a bat coronavirus to become potentially more infectious to humans.’”
Not for nothing, but on Aug. 10, YouTube removed a video by Paul for the second time and suspended him from publishing for a week after he posted a video that disputed the effectiveness of wearing masks to limit the spread of the coronavirus. A YouTube representative said the Republican senator’s claims in the three-minute video had violated the company’s policy on Covid-19 medical misinformation. The company policy bans videos that spread a wide variety of misinformation, including “claims that masks do not play a role in preventing the contraction or transmission of Covid-19.”
And the award for statements most lacking in class and compassion have to be equally shared by trump and his Cretan-like progeny, trump Jr.
The younger malodorous noodnick is selling T-shirts on his website apparently mocking this week’s fatal shooting on Alec Baldwin’s movie set. The T-shirts include the tagline “guns don’t kill people, Alec Baldwin kills people.” The shirts retail for $27.99 and appeared online after Baldwin accidentally fired a prop gun on a movie set, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Little trumpie also shared a meme on his Instagram, “Let’s all watch Alec Baldwin blame the gun. It’s only a matter of time.” It should be noted that Baldwin advocates stronger gun control laws while baby trump is known for killing threatened species in other countries.
Baby trump didn’t step back from his mean comments when he noted in Instagram, “Screw all the sanctimony I’m seeing out there. If the shoe was on the other foot Alex Baldwin would literally be the first person pissing on everybody’s grave trying to make a point. F — him!” What is the point, Baby trump? That you can compete with big daddy for being a boor? You can.
Now for the tasteless comment from little trumpie’s big daddy.
The ex-president, who was trounced by Biden in November, said the media was way too complimentary in covering the death on Monday of former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
“Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media. Hope that happens to me someday,” Trump said with great compassion in a statement. As an aside, I wouldn’t tell trump to hold his breath, after he breathed his last breath, on being “treated in death so beautifully” as Powell.
Fortunately, the voice of Bone Spurs was in the minority as expressed eloquently by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who said, “I feel as if I have a hole in my heart. The world lost one of the greatest leaders that we have ever witnessed.”
