7/31/20: Trump spent the last day of the month complaining because the coming election was going to be rigged. It would be a hoax, a fraud, a calamity, a con, a debacle, a fiasco, and a five-alarm fire.
He did not spend the day talking to health officials about how best to address the COVID-19 crisis.
Because: Trump is an idiot.
He did find time to fly to Florida and squeeze in a campaign fundraiser, and
then fly back to Washington D.C.
On this, the final day of a brutal month, the U.S. recorded 68,605 cases of COVID-19. That brought the July total to:
1,916,706.
Trump likes to say he has done more than any other president in his first three-and-a-half years in office.
You could say he has singlehandedly rejuvenated the mortuary
business.
According to the CDC, on July 31, another 1,371 Americans succumbed from COVID-19. The death toll stood at:
152,870.
One final bit of Trumpian imbecility. On this last day of July, the president tells the American people he has the coronavirus on the run, or soon will. “We’ll get rid of it, we’ll beat it, and it will be soon.”

Sen. Katrina Robinaon, right. |
Unlike the President of the United States, this blogger has no trouble condemning lawmakers who are alleged to be crooks, no matter what side they’re on (see post for 9/1/20). When Fox News reports on a Tennessee state senator, Katrina Robinson, a Democrat, who has been charged with stealing $600,000 from a company she owns, Mr. Blogger does not start shouting that Robinson is being persecuting – as Trump always says when his pals get arrested and charged.
The senator is accused of using the cash to pay for her own wedding, to buy her daughter a Jeep Renegade, and to fund an extravagant lifestyle.
So, if she gets convicted? Yeah. Lock her dumb ass up.
BLOGGER’S NOTE (3/18/22): Robinson
is eventually convicted on two counts, but a
judge sentences her to “time served,” and one year of probation. She had
previously been expelled from her seat in the Tennessee Senate, but called the
27-5 vote a “procedural lynching.”
Appeals and additional sentencing seem
likely.
