Putin, the real Putin, is so arrogant in his humility that he stuns the Russian Parliament into obeying. The Russian constitution - a droll notion, if there ever were one - is amended to allow him continuous reign until he decides when to quit. The Parliament votes in favor - notwithstanding that to vote against is not allowed, or allowed only on pain of death. It is each legislator's choice. The crowning moment is when Putin takes to the podium to express his humble acquiescence to the wishes of the Parliament. For it would be far from his choice to do anything that they did not favor all on their own, without his having to threaten them and/or their families, whichever they prefer. A return to former glory, where rulers ruled and the peasantry farmed, or died in war, or starved waiting for the rulers to finish their suppers of French cuisine. Former glory, indeed. And crowned with a Trump Hotel in Moscow, complete with fake gold and everything. Make Moscow Great Again, Comrades.

Shut Up, Mitch
Moscow Mitch is the evil behind the empire, concocting the vilest explanations and then trying his gosh-darn hardest to hide his racism and manipulation behind a righteousness so earnest it might almost be evangelical. Now, Moscow Mitch is trying to float the idea that TrumPutin's fixation on impeachment diverted his impressive attention span from the Coronavirus, and the Democrats are the reason TrumPutin stayed so stupid so long regarding the pandemic, which he knew was a pandemic while he was telling everyone that it was like a mild flu. He knew it was a pandemic but because impeachment was on his mind, he kept trying to imagine a perfect call and couldn't quite manage to say pandemic because it sounded so much like impeachment. Damn, Mitch, it makes so much nonsense. He was so absorbed in impeachment, even though there was no chance in hell the Senate would even have witnesses, let alone convict the moron. And TrumPutin was so immersed in impeachment that he told everyone to go get ready to go to church and then celebrate Jesus by buying all kinds of crap to get the economy going again. Impeachment made him confuse safety and saving lives with corporate greed. No problems, Moscow Mitch, it's a mistake Republicans make every day. So shut it, MoscowMitch!
Worse than the Disease
As usual whenever he speaks, TrumPutin lies and he is wrong, this time when he says the cure is worse than the disease. However, there are other things that are worse than the Coronavirus: The White House initial response, particularly the opinion by epidemiologist TrumPutin that the Coronavirus was a flu -- definitely worse than the virus; The revised response, stating that the Coronavirus was not, after all, simply a flu, but that TrumPutin knew it was serious, and knew it to be a pandemic far earlier than anyone else -- such nonsense is worse than the disease; The daily briefings that substitute for the mindless rallies that TrumPutin is used to having -- absolutely worse than the virus; Mnuchin's pandering for the corporate elite, including Boeing, which suffered so badly that it could offer its disgraced former CEO only a $60 million payout; and cruise lines, which license themselves in foreign countries to avoid U. S. taxes, but which line up for U. S. taxpayer bailouts -- worse than the disease; The parade of corporate shills at the daily briefings, performing like trained seals so that they are not left out of the stimulus money that TrumPutin and Mnuchin are earmarking for their friends -- truly a scar on the nation and far worse than the disease; Pompeo's idiotic talk of the Wuhan virus, carrying the xenophobic and nationalist ball for his lord and master -- despicably worse than the disease; GOP reluctance to pay for sick leave and unemployment, until shamed into doing so, and Moscow Mitch's reluctance to have any oversight until forced to -- worse than the disease. TrumPutin's hunch that the virus will be subdued, his hunch that we have plenty of ventilators, his hunch that the economy is more important than people's health -- all politically motivated responses worse than the disease; The country will survive, recover, and thrive -- despite the lies, selfishness, and greed of the TrumPutin elite that currently governs. Thank God for Speaker Pelosi and the good sense she shows in leading an intelligent response to the crisis.
