A Brief Glance At Some Of Trumpie The Clown's Proposed Administration

As you read these, keep telling yourself  "He only knows the best people. He only knows the best people. He only knows the best people." And, before you start, pour yourself a very stiff drink.

Attorney General: The first proposed candidate was Matt Gaetz, who is allegedly a sexual predator. Which he shares with Trumpie--except in Trumpie's case you can drop the "allegedly" part. He also appears to be suffering from either a very bad chem peel, or a complete failure of a face lift. But, not to worry--he's out. His replacement is Pam Bondi, whose one qualification is she knows how to take a bribe and keep her mouth shut. This is a very important trait in Trump World.

Secretary of State: Lil Marco Rubio, who apparently put his dignity, common sense, and manhood in a blind trust to please Trumpie, is perhaps the "most" qualified of Trumpie's picks so far. And he isn't qualified at all--except as a world class lickspittle. Another important trait in Trump World.

Secretary of Defense: Pete Hegseth's chief qualification to be in charge of the world's most powerful military is that he was a talking head on Fox News. Oh, he was in the Minnesota National Guard and he was posted  to Iraq and Afghanistan, but his main claim to military fame is he convinced Trumpie to pardon three soldiers convicted or accused of war crimes during those conflicts. So, you know his moral sense is in just the right place for this Administration. He's also been accused of sexual assault. Petey is on wife number 3. Just like Trumpie. Apparently he cheated on the first two. Now, if he can just cheat on number three, he'll be tied with Trumpie in that category. At one point, his mother criticized him for his treatment of women, using words like "abuser" "lies, cheats, sleeps around" etc. But, wonder of wonders,  he found religion and Mommie now says he's A-OK. A mother's love is a beautiful thing.

Whatever the fuck Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is supposed to be: the salient fact about RFK Jr. is that he is disgrace to his father's memory. Beyond that, he knows literally nothing about science, medicine, vaccines, and whatever else he is supposed to "fix". And the few things he does know are mostly wrong. His core "beliefs" are indistinguishable from medieval superstitions. Get ready for the triumphant return of assorted infectious disease that you thought were long gone. Enjoy your raw milk.

Ambassador to France: Jared Kushner's daddy, Charles, is a criminal. Trumpie, of course, pardoned him on his way out the door the first time. Odds are he will have to pardon him again on his way out the door this time, because once you start "crimin' it's hard to stop. A pile of moldy brie would make a better ambassador to France.

The DOGE kids:  Elon Musk has become the World's Richest Man by buying up other people's ideas, pretending he invented them, and then getting HUGE government loans to "grow" his businesses. He and Vivek Whateverswamy are so "smart", so very "smart" that they are going to gut the Federal government. And though this will cause untold suffering to everyone who needs government assistance (and that's most everyone who isn't a multi-millionaire or billionaire) they're sure that this will make everything much better...eventually. And if it doesn't, well, they'll still both be rich beyond most people's imagining, so it's all good. Besides, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few million eggs.

Some Things I Will Simply Never Understand

Let's say you're an American billionaire.

Or perhaps just a billionaire who's made their fortune in America.

You've obviously done very well under the system we have.

A billion dollars is a lot. Multiples of a billion are almost beyond comprehension for the vast majority of people.

Sure, there are rules and regulations and laws you may chafe about. Just because you have, at a bare minimum, one thousand million dollars doesn't mean you can't find things to complain about.

Human nature being what it is.

But, bottom line, you've done very well financially by this country.

So, why do some billionaires want to destroy the system that has made them rich, Rich, RICH?

It might make a suspicious person think that they must be working for someone else.

Maybe some foreigner.

Some foreigner who really does want to destroy America from the inside.

It isn't too surprising that Trump doesn't understand how tariffs work.

After all, he's bankrupted several business, including a couple of casinos.

He's simply not very good with numbers and he simply can't wrap his mostly empty head around the whole tariff issue.

But he has people around him who aren't complete imbeciles, and they should sit him down, give him a Big Mac and plenty of ketchup, and talk him through the whole tariff deal until he either gets it, which admittedly isn't likely, or gets distracted by something shiny, and forgets about the whole subject.

My dog, who is a poodle and therefore smarter than many people, understands that Obamacare and the ACA are the same fucking thing. Why don't the "low information voters" so beloved by Trumpie?

We continue to read about the many people who vehemently want to get rid of Obamacare but keep their ACA health plan.

I mean, it's one thing to be "low information" and quite another to be a fucking moron.

Don't you think?

Hey, once they round up all the "illegals" and throw them into processing "camps" so that the MAGATs, Tom Homan,  and Stephen Miller can finally get an erection that lasts, who's going build the houses, pick the produce, work in the slaughterhouses, clean houses, mow lawns, cook food, look after your kids, in short do all of the things that obese, lazy, soft, white folks can't or won't do?

Oh! That's why Republicans are bringing back child labor! My bad.

All the latest food fads, all the latest diets, all the latest miracle pills are completely unnecessary. And yet we are inundated with adds for all sorts "miracle" weight loss schemes. And desperate people frantically grasp any and all of them.

You don't need a pill to lose weight. Just stop eating so much.

We, as a nation, are obese because We. Eat. Too. Much.

It's just that simple. It's not about preservatives. It's not about what is and isn't organic. It's not about corn syrup. It's about quantity.

This isn't rocket science. You take in more calories than you expend, the excess turns to fat.

Every foreigner who comes to this country is shocked by our portion sizes.

Add in an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, and voila!

Exercise of practically any kind is good for you, but unless you're a marathon runner, or tri-athlete, there is no way that exercise alone will overcome the shear amount of food that the typical American ingests in a week.

Here's an experiment. Keep track of all the calories you consume in a week. Divide by 7. Then look up the recommended daily caloric intake for your age and sex. If your daily average isn't well above it, you are in the minority.

Really?

Let's see: the Deep State has "removed" elected leaders and overthrown governments all around the world, for many, many years.

Do you really think "it" would allow itself to be rolled up by a demented, orange painted, diaper wearing,  traitor and his gang of panty waist wannabees?

Really?

Dear American Peoples

On behalf of all of us, that is Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu, Kim Jong-Un, Viktor Orban,  MBS,  Elon Musk, Leonard Leo, and the Federalist Society, we would like to personally thank you for restoring our favorite lap dog to your Presidency.

It will certainly make everything that comes after so much easier for us.

Also, on behalf of rapists, tax cheats, business frauds, pathological liars, adulterers, Christo-Fascists,tech bros, neo-Nazis, white supremacists,  misogynists, and especially traitors everywhere, thank you for enshrining our cherished role model.

What is about to happen to you and your country, you have no previous experience with.

So, buckle up!

Who's the shithole country now?

Ha Ha Ha.

The Lady...Or The Spoiled, Damaged Child

Based on who his parents were, it would be hard for Donald J. Trump to be anything but a spoiled, damaged child.

His father was a racist, sociopathic, mobbed up crook. 

His mother apparently had no interest in being a mother. Or at least no discenible mothering skills.

Throw in Roy Cohn, certainly a contender for worst Americans ever, as a mentor, and the outcome was set.

So...Donald turned out pretty much as one would expect. "The apple", as they say, "doesn't fall very far from the tree."

If he hadn't inherited all that money, cheating his siblings in the process, he would've ended up in a trailer, down by the river. The sort of person good parents would warn their children to avoid.

In a sane world, this wouldn't be anyone's problem--except his immediate family and anyone stupid enough to do business with him.

But, as you may have noticed, this is not a sane world, and there are millions of people who literally worship that pile of Orange Bile.

Rapist, tax fraud, business cheat, adulterer, bully, Putin's puppet, traitor, all wrapped in a smelly package that is rapidly sinking into dementia.

None of that seems to matter to his disciples.

Or to the vile advisors he surrounds himself with. The Project 2025 scum. The people who choose his judges for him. The Libertarian billionaires, especially little Elon Musk. All of them couldn't care less about the majority of our citizens. They care, without exception, for their bank accounts, or their ridiculous religious beliefs, or their deluded views of our history, or their enormous egos. Or maybe just for the blinding whiteness of their skin. They're all committed to using him to get what they want.

Not what's good for the people. What's good for them. The people be damned.

Fortunately, I believe that there are more good people in this country than there are MAGAts.

At least, I hope so.

It's either President Harris, or the end of the American experiment.

It's just that simple.

 

Elon Musk: Liar? Idiot? Putin Stooge? All Three?

You have, no doubt, seen the photos of Elon Musk jumping around like a chihuahua on crack at a recent Trump Lie Fest. It was especially impressive considering that from previous photos I've seen, Musk's body appears to be made entirely from marshmallows. 

What you may not know is, that like many "I did it all by myself" Libertarians before him, Musk's businesses have all relied on government money, either through loans or contracts. His fabulous fortune is due to American taxpayers propping him up, to the tune of many billions of dollars. Your tax dollars at work again.

So much for the rugged individualist, the self-made man. Myths. All myths.

He's cosplaying as an Edison level inventor. Nope. Never invented anything, except his own legend.

And a "free speech loving patriot." Nope again.

Unless your idea of free speech includes a deluge of unchallenged MAGA lies, which flood his soapbox, Twitter/X, every goddamn day. It's heaven for Russian bots, and like walking through a field of fresh dog shit for the rest of us.

As far as being just a concerned, First Amendment loving, "American patriot", in truth he is a South African immigrant, whose family's fortune, like many white South Africans, depended on apartheid. 

(And that father of his? WOW. Like Fred Trump's most infamous spawn, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.)

If Elon isn't a paid Putin stooge, he certainly acts like a paid Putin stooge.

And, since he's gone all in supporting Traitor Trump, to my mind that makes him just another traitor, too.

The sooner this little man heads to Mars, the better for humanity. Oh, and let's make sure he takes Peter Thiel with him.

More Random Musings Of A Bitter Old Man

How stupid do you have to be to send money to a guy who claims, loudly and repeatedly, to be a billionaire? No, not just a mere billionaire, but a billionaire many times over! Trumpie the Clown loves the "low information" voters because they reinforce P.T. Barnum's dictum about suckers with every breath they take.

To be fair, I've lost count of the number of emails I get from Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg, and the other real billionaires, begging me to send them a little dough. Whatever I can afford. You know, fuck your house payment, skip a few meals, cash in your 401K, loot the kids' college fund, take a second mortgage on the double wide--whatever--just give until it hurts!!!

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that our poorest, stupidest states, are some of the RED ones. You know, the ones chock full of Real Americans.

The fact that almost all of the Red states get much more from the Federal government than they contribute, making them, well, Welfare States dependent on the Blue States to survive, is simply Not To Be Mentioned in polite conversation.

And now, a brief excursion into theology: My favorite thing about Easter, besides all of the chocolate, is that the date changes every year. Now, for the sake of this argument, let's assume that there really was a Jesus, that he really was crucified, and that he really did rise from the dead. It must have happened on a specific day. The date of this day shouldn't really change by weeks and even months from year to year. Even allowing for the changes to the calendar through the centuries, this is not how things work. I guess it's just another one of those miracles, huh?

Speaking of religious flotsam and jetsam, a quick Amazon search shows a variety of bibles on sale from six dollars up to thirty bucks. Anything more than that, you're getting into the embossed, illustrated, leather clad, your name here, autographed picture of The Big Guy and His Kid included, territory. Of course, the Trump endorsed bible is, by definition, priceless. And cannot be compared to any other bible anywhere. Amen.

Donald J. Trump, a multiple bankrupt with a long string of failed businesses, and Crypto, a "currency" backed by nothing but your dreams....What could possibly go wrong?

By the way, if you put all of your money into Trump Media stock you have a hell of a lot less money than you started out with. But at least you got to "own the Libs" for awhile. Right?

To be honest, I did not have Black Nazi Trans Porn Freak on my 2024 election bingo card. But if I had, I would have bet on him being a good Christian Republican.

Gotta go now. Me and some Haitians are stir frying Fluffy and Rex. And, if you believe that, have I got a Presidential Candidate for you!
