I'VE BEEN SICK FOR A WHOLE WEEK & IT'S ENOUGH ALREADY, BUT AT LEAST I'M NOT A TRAITOR
Nobody has time for this kind of time out when MSNBC just hired Ronna Fucking Romney
RSV is no joke, kids.
Last Friday, I woke up feeling like someone had hit me in the back of my head with a sledgehammer. My nose was stuffed up and I had a slightly phlegmy cough.
At first, I blamed it on having to walk those three miles to get my tire fixed last Wednesday, a day that feels like it was seven months ago at this point. But as the day progressed, it was clear this was more than a little cold.
I’m vaccinated and boosted to the gods, so I wasn’t surprised that my home Covid test came back negative. But I was dizzy and felt like utter shit, so I self-diagnosed it as the rhinovirus.
But when it got worse—think symptoms akin to Stephen King’s “The Stand” minus the tube-neck—but my Covid tests were still negative, I asked Dr. Google and Dr. Google came back with RSV. SO much mucus. SO MUCH.
All I can do is rest and drink lots of fluids while I wait for this shit to pass. I have almost zero appetite (but my wonderful older son brought me matzoh ball soup yesterday), and sitting at my desk has been a no-go the whole week because of the dizziness.
But today, even as the RSV still lingers, I forced myself to sit here upright long enough to write this post. Because NBC News just announced that they hired traitorous Trumptwunt Ronna Romney McDaniel as a commentator.
You might recall Ronna dropped the “Romney” from her name once she learned it triggered the tiny delicate fee-fees of her Dear Leader. You might also recall Ronna Romney from her January 6th Select Committee testimony when she admitted UNDER OATH that she promised Donald Trump she would help him with his fake elector scheme to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 election.
Here’s how that looked on MSNBC.
I don’t know why that Qunt isn’t in prison right now. If I admitted under oath that I did a treason, I’d be in federal stir for the rest of my life. That is, if I didn’t receive the proper punishment for selling out my country for a few extra digits in my bank account.
We are now trending #BoycottMSNBC and #BoycottNBCNews because WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?
No, seriously. Like it wasn’t bad enough when they replaced Chuck Todd with equally terrible Kristen Welker, or they allowed Joy Ann Reid and Charlamagne Tha God to regularly bash Joe Biden?
It’s not necessary to give any Trump sycophant a national platform. We know what they are and what they’re trying to do.
I’m hoping Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, Stephanie Ruhle, Nicolle Wallace, et al, will refuse to work with her. There is no excuse or explanation satisfactory enough to justify such a hire. Ronna’s only source of income should be the work she’s doing in the prison laundry.
It’s enough to make you sick(er). They should hire me, because I’m not a compromised lying traitor who lives in Trump’s alimentary canal.
I need to go back and lie down on my couch, where I’ll keep tweeting from a less-dizzying prone position. But while you’re doing your part to hold NBC accountable, this is also a reminder that I’m still selling a book here.
I’m up to 579 copies sold of The Sound of Settling, including to the actor who played the oldest brother in “E.T”, Robert MacNaughton. My newest Twitter pal ordered it from his local bookstore, which you can totally do now too. This means my rock and roll love story is now one degree from Steven Spielberg along with already being in Henry Winkler’s hands. I say let the Mensch Bidding War begin, but that just might be my low-grade fever talking.
The MAGA losers are hitting it with bad reviews, so if you could also rate it 5 stars to keep my rating over 4.5, I’d really appreciate it.
I’ll leave you with this video from yesterday, which was World Poetry Day, just so you can hear how I sound a little bit like George C. Scott at the moment. SMEXY!
Get better. Also Marjorie Barney Rubble Greene (h/t to Keith Olbermann) has filed a motion to vacate the chair which will not be taken up until after Easter break of two weeks, which should give Hakeem Jeffries to put together a coalition. Yes Easter is in 9 days while Passover is 31 days away. Weird this year. Considering that The Last Supper has generally agreed to have been a Passover Seder. End of religious history lesson.
