What can you say about the theater of the absurd that is American politics these days? I won’t try to outdo other commentators regarding Dementia Zhou’s announcement of his cancer. It turns out that he doesn’t really have cancer, according to the White House, but he does have Covid. Per the announcement that my wife just heard on the radio.
Of course, coming on the heels of further disastrous polling results—including an eye-opening 18% approval rating among Hispanics in one poll—one has to wonder about this Covid announcement. Is it possible that this is simply a ploy to get Zhou out of the public eye, send him back to the basement? Or a ploy to gain sympathy for a pathetic figure? Then again, there appears to be no regime figure capable of generating trust or sympathy in this summer of America’s discontent.
Strange days.
I agree, it’s a perfect cover for getting rid of him. Of course there’s the little problem of the VP, but hey, one step at a time.
It would be the perfect way to get rid of him. See “Covid-19 is still dangerous—it just killed the President; do you have better doctors and medical facilities than the President of the United States?” “Clearly we need to lock down everything again, but for real this time; universal mail in ballots by executive fiat—the public health and civil rights issue of our time.” It also makes sure that if Kamala did somehow manage to get re-elected in 2024 she’d be a lame duck since she’d already served more than half her predecessors term, and she’ll have a few months with control of the House and 50 Dem Senators plus RINOs and retiring Senators to push through her VP nominee. They’d just have to agree on one.
