The 200 Year Old Racist

Once and for all, Donald J. Trump is as healthy as any obese, pasty, intellectually incurious, septuagenarian who eats junk food all day, and whose idea of exercise is to either ride around in a golf cart, or sit on the toilet tweeting, has ever been.

He has excellent cognitive skills, too. (insert laughter here)

And he has "incredible genes".

(Have you ever had your genes examined during your physical? Me neither. In fact, I'm very interested in how that would even be done by an MD.)

The man is a fucking medical wonder, I tells ya!

And he has a doctor's note to prove it.

So that should settle that, huh?

After all, who you gonna believe, his doctor or your lyin' eyes and all the evidence to the contrary?

Norway

Norway is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe. It's just chock full of white--very white--people. Translucent, almost.

When Hitler got all hot and bothered for the Aryan race, it was blue-eyed, blonde Scandinavians he was thinking of. The Ur white.

Oh, I'm sure there are a handful of non-white folks there, too. The Norwegians, unlike Donald J. Trump and his brain dead supporters, are tolerant people. But the only reason Trump, the racist piece of shit currently residing in the White House, likes Norway is because of the large majority of white people there.

I doubt very much that Il Trumpo could find Norway on a map. In fact, I'd bet money that he couldn't. But he does know about all those white people.

And he really likes white people. He wants them, and only them, to move here.

Non white people, not so much...

I suppose we could blame his racist piece of shit father for this, but that's a cheap cop out. Donald J. Trump is 70 years old. He should know the difference between right and wrong by now, whatever Dear Old Dad taught him.

Oh, one more thing. Why on earth would anyone from Norway, by all accounts a civilized society, with healthcare and education for all, and no Second Amendment rights' addicts waving their great big guns in everyone's face, want to emigrate to the good ol' USA? Visit? Sure. See a few shows, do a little shopping, maybe take the kids to Disneyland and the Grand Canyon. And then get out of this "armed madhouse", before someone shoots them. Live here? Not if they're sane.

I don't know what kind of hut you live in. Maybe, in the words of our Orange Turd, it's a "shithole."
Not enough gold leaf for his taste, probably...But America is made up of all colors, all religions, all languages, all cultures, all economic classes. If we ever lose that, we lose what makes us "exceptional."

Better to lose Trump, and all his enablers, as soon as possible.

This Ain't Normal

We have had Presidents who weren't too smart....I'm looking at you, W.

We have had Presidents who were racists. I'd guess all of the ones from the South until Carter and Clinton.

We have had Presidents who were crooks. The obvious ones being Nixon and Harding.

We have had Presidents who were liars...probably most of them at one time or another.

We have had Presidents who were fools, bigots, misogynists, sexual predators.

But to combine all of these unfortunate traits in one bloated, orange, circus clown is a first!

And throw in the strong possibility of treason to boot...

I guess this is just another example of that famous American Exceptionalism.

We will get through this--I hope.

But we will never be the same country again.

Because once you let the crazy out of the bottle, it's impossible to put it back in again.

Complete Indifference To The Suffering Of Others

Big day if you're a billionaire, or at least a multi-millionaire!

All of those donations to the Republican toady of your choice finally paid off!

The long nightmare that the poor Koch brothers, and the Mercers, and the Ricketts, and all the rest of the country's owners have been living through is, at last, over. Little Barron Trump's future is secure!

Happy days are here again!

Your Republican Congress has come through for you!

And all it took was taking healthcare away from a few tens of millions of your fellow citizens. Oh, and don't forget stripping whatever is left of the safety net. And the deduction for your mortgage interest, too.

It's funny how all of these things don't matter much to the very rich...and poof, just like that, they're gone!

Maybe funny is the wrong word.

Pretty soon Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid will have to be "dealt" with, because, you know, deficits!

After all, defense contractors don't work for free! And bombers and aircraft carriers and nuclear bombs don't grow on trees. So we will need to tighten our belts a bit to be able to afford these absolute necessities. You can't have everything.

It would be wrong for you to have health insurance and access to welfare and food stamps if you need them, and that little government check every month to ease your retirement, when that money could just as easily buy a third or fourth home, or a new jet for some deserving oligarch.

So some of the entitlements that the lazy takers rely on will have to be restructured.

You see, the only unforgivable crime in the good ol USA is to be poor. Too poor to contribute to Republican politicians. So what do you expect? Fairness? A sense of community and a common cause? Justice? Hahaha. Ask a person of color about fairness and justice in the good ol USA...Looks like you're in the same boat now, baby!

To be fair, the Republicans always offer prayers and condolences when there's a national tragedy. Let's see if that holds true for self-inflicted ones.

Maybe they'll pray for you!

It Takes A Village To Keep An Idiot From Burning Down The Village

There he stands, The Pussy Grabber in Chief.

In one hand, a can of gasoline. In the other a lighter that he's still figuring out how to use.

And all around him, people are trying to distract him with whatever shiny objects they can find.

Like a baby.

This baby is your President. You probably didn't vote for him. The majority didn't, after all. But there are millions of your fellow Americans who did, and a large number of those still support him, despite all of his catastrophically inept actions, despite all of his disgusting behavior. Because he hates the same people they hate. And some people enjoy hating more than they enjoy anything else.

So, somebody please shake a rattle. Somebody make a silly face. Somebody coo at the baby, for Christ's sake! Because he still has the gasoline and the lighter. And sooner or later he will figure out how the latter works.

See, this is why you don't elect a person who doesn't know anything about politics or the world in general. And has no interest, or capacity, for learning. Why should he, what with his superior genes and his "good" brain?

The world is a very complicated place. And an imbecile really isn't equipped to deal with all of the complications.

No, an imbecile would rather just watch the pretty flames as things burn.

Religious Notes From All Over

Here it is once again, that sacred season wherein billions of dollars are spent celebrating a fairy tale.
You know, the babe in the manger, the virgin birth, the wise men, all that bullshit. I mean, you're free to believe whatever you want, but I guess faith must mean you turn off the rational part of your brain, huh?

Then again, maybe your brain doesn't have a rational part...in that case, never mind!

But whatever the state of your brain, at least we're all "free" to say "Merry Christmas" again. Finally. The stress was killing me...And a White House and Congress full of traitors, criminals, rapists, grifters, imbeciles, racists, white supremacists, and congenital liars, all conspiring to tear apart a once great country, is a very small price to pay for that privilege. So, Happy Holidays to all!

Down in that Alabama, which they tell me is still part of the Union, believe it or not, that good Christian Roy "Sugar, Come Sit On Uncle Roy's Lap" Moore wears a pin that is some sort of combination of a cross and an American flag. That in itself is a travesty, but the truly surprising thing is that it doesn't burst into flames every time Roy The Pedophile puts it on. But I guess things are different down there. And the one thing that fundamentalists of all religions are is fundamentally insane. So let's all "pray" that the "rapture" takes these assholes elsewhere, and soon.

Now let's turn to our Jewish friends. Any idiot who believes that recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is a good idea, and that it will in any way help the peace process, should immediately move there. I'll help you pack, Jared. Better hurry, though, because I hear that you are one small step ahead of the law.

Honestly, and this goes for all of you, if you love Israel sooooo much, move to fucking Israel. It's just that simple.

And speaking of Jewish Americans who love Israel more than the United States, Shelly Adelson, please shave your head. You look like somebody's addled Bubbe with a tragic dye job, and you're making us all sick.

1% Maverick 99% Bullshit

When it comes right down to it, Senator John McCain knows which side his bread is buttered on.

Mrs. McCain is very wealthy. Mrs. McCain and the McCain family will benefit greatly from the disastrous Republican tax plan.

So, OF COURSE the distinguished gentleman from Arizona is going to vote for that abomination that has absolutely nothing to do with "helping" the middle class.

Listen carefully. The tax cuts will benefit the very rich. That is what they are designed to do. They will damage the Affordable Care Act, they will drain money from Medicare and Medicaid, they will hurt the vast majority of Americans, and they will continue weakening the social safety net, something that gives all good Republicans a nice warm feeling in their shriveled private parts.

In addition, the loss of revenue, and increased deficits will immediately lead to loud cries about "doing something about Social Security". And by "something", the good folks of the GOP mean destroying it.

Of course, none of this means anything to Senator John McCain. He got to play the hero last summer with his thumbs down vote on the last assault on the ACA. People who didn't know better applauded McCain as if he'd done something truly noble. He didn't do it because he gives a rat's ass about saving health care for poor and working class people. He did it because he doesn't like Donald Trump.

But this is different. Even though passing this massive giveaway to the richest Americans may help Trump politically in the short run, that's small potatoes compared to the windfall the McCain family will receive.

Again, and it cannot be repeated often enough, Senator John McCain has never done a goddamn thing for the people of Arizona. The main achievement of his long political career has been the care and feeding of the Legend of John "The Maverick" McCain. That's it. That's all.

Oh, one other salient point about "the Maverick": He's been on the government tit his entire life.
