Fat Frog Diary

Just when I thought the stupidity could not get any lower, #45 (I will NOT give him the dignity of a title he has not earned.) has encouraged his devoted, fanatical followers to protest. They have responded witlessly and defied the quarantine to get out and blockade city streets to the point of blocking entrances to hospitals so doctors have to come out and beg them to let the ambulances through.

The only ones left working are fast food/carry-out restaurant workers an
