Okay, mje doesn’t need one more reason to want an end to trump’s destructive reign but this one is personal. I had a perfectly good post ready to launch but don’t ya know it, he had to jam himself into my editorial space and poof! Like that it was as if what I commented on was a year old. Dammit, can’t a working woman catch a break? Well, “working” is really a squishy description, given the latitude with which it is applied. Why are women who stay in their homes to take care a bunch of yapping rug rats, with no salary, overtime or hazard pay, not considered to be “working”? I can tell you, they would trade places in a new york second with someone who’s in an orderly office space, even better a private office, with clear rules and regs, a designated hourly work week, and an hr department that would quickly dispatch anyone who throws himself on the floor and has a tantrum because the vending machine is out of hohos. Hell yeah I work, maybe not in a factory or a diner or a dry cleaners, or once again raising children (and grandchildren, cue the harps) but I do work. In my case my mental wellbeing is frankly a full-time job, more than that, not just 40 hours a week, I’m talking 24/7. Do you know how heavy that load is? And add to that, the OB&C is no picnic either. His relentless obsessions with idiotic and unimportant tasks is enough to drive even the most stable person nuts. As an example, the mother of deadbeat son of a neighbor in the big sleazy somehow thought that the ob&c’s scientific background indicated that he might have a slew of contacts in the elevator repair industry. Huh? But like a true soldier he threw himself with vigor into locating someone, anyone to help this person out. He rooted around and somehow, after months of digging, found the name of someone who might be in the elevator repair biz, and got a name to pass on. For god’s sake, I said, tell the kid to go on indeed, zip recruiter or monster and get the same info in about 35 seconds. But whatcha gonna do….the ob&c kicks it old school, like 1959 school…
But enough about him, this is my space, don’t crowd it buddy.
Before I was so rudely interrupted by my own digression, I was hot on the trail of a coherent thought. Oh yeah, that the covid denier in chief has now been diagnosed with the hoax. Who’dathunkit? But lucky for him, he’s living on the taxpayer dime (not the $750 in income tax he paid last year) to enjoy in-house 24 hour medical care in the white house, but also access to a helicopter to swoop him off to a taxpayer supported medical facility where he has a team of about eight docs supervising his care. Headed not by an md, but by an osteopath. I thought they were just a bunch of self-important chiropractor types in white coats. But I totally underestimated their credentials…apparently, DOs are fully licensed physicians who practice in all areas of medicine. Like jacks of all trades, but masters of none. Emphasizing a whole-person approach to treatment and care, DOs are trained to listen to and “partner” with their patients to help them get healthy and stay well. They advise patients about changes in lifestyle and diet to encourage “wellness” of the whole patient, not just treat symptoms like massive heart attack or stroke. I gotta tell you, if I suffer a massive stroke, head trauma, or heart attack the last thing I need is some quackeroni sitting by my bedside giving me advice on changing my lifestyle (say, drinking habits) as my life slowly slips away and I undergo the ultimate change in lifestyle from alive to dead.
But leave it to our pretender in chief to opt for an osteopath instead a real medical doctor. But whoa nelly, can you imagine his visits with his patient trying to advise him on lifestyle and dietary changes. Sir, have you thought that perhaps eating big macs and french fries for lunch, drinking twelve diet cokes and having steak for dinner every night might not be the best dietary option for optimal health? Hell no doc, look at me, People say I am the most incredible human specimen ever seen! It’s all over the internet. I’m not some lily livered diet and exercise freak like obama, wasting valuable tv time in the gym, living on vegetables and fish, drinking water all the live long day…hell no. I could knock that skinny illegal immigrant over like a paper doll with a single fart.
That’s one trump pronouncement mje does believe.
