Don't fret - we're in GOOD hands!


Our fine reality-TV president tRump has returned to the saddle after working hard to get the CDC defunded, and is ready to make sure that covid-19 is brought under control.  He's organized a new dream-team of clueless corruption to restore American confidence. Strangely enough, not one of them has any medical background whatsoever, unless we count Pence's proven ability to create epidemics.

Leading this valiant effort is the frat-boy turned evangelical lunatic and talk-show host -- Mike Pence.  As the unfortunate governor of Indiana, he defunded the only clinic in the state which performed HIV testing, eliminated programs meant to restrict the spread of disease among drug addicts, and presided over the resulting HIV outbreak whereupon he bravely determined that "prayer" was the appropriate response.

Supporting him is Steve Mnuchin -- a morally bankrupt uber-nerd whose primary qualifications seem to be doing "God's Work" for Goldman Sachs and using the proceeds to bribe an equally vapid and vain super-model to pose as his wife.

Rounding out the team is Larry Kudlow -- a hard partying Wall-Street financial analyst with a fondness for cocaine who has already declared corona virus to be contained within the US.

If I didn't know any better, I'd be inclined to think that someone views this virus as a golden opportunity.
