All right, that will have to do. This is your (semi-Holiday) Weekend Open Thread. Talk about these or whatever else you’d like, within reasonable bounds of decorum and discretion.
*Simply Stated: Which picture would you ascribe to: Jackass, functional illiterate, vulgar, repulsive, megalomaniac, manic depressive, overbearing, ugly, twisted, lying, cruel, mean spirited, hateful, ludicrous, demeaning, ill educated, mental defective, extremely despicable and brutally offensive?
Of course that would be just for starters!
*You guys didn’t say “functional illiterate,” did you?
Never mind, I’m in a foul mood.
*OK Chairman Vern…..would you settle for “Amateur Night at the White House”…then?
*Chairman Vern,…you probably wouldn’t settle for “Quasi-Illiterate Functionary” either…eh?
*It’s tough to find a good dentist….many are what we call Disco Dentist……they wear
the gold chain around their necks and pretend. We now have Disco President………
OMG!
*So let’s see…..Harry Truman had his Pendergast Machine and a daughter that could not play the piano. Ike had Mamie……and John Foster Dulles, JFK had his brain trust and his brother as Attorney General, LBJ had Clint Merchanson and the whole Texas Mafia, Richard Nixon had his California Mafia and his book of dirty tricks, Gerald Ford was able to Klutz his way until he was defeated and wrote the book on how too many hits to the head in football, definitely has an effect. Jimmy Carter had his Peanut Farm and the pot bellied stove to discuss things with his brother Billy, Ronald Reagan had his CA Kitchen Cabinet, George H.W.Bush, had all the CIA contacts and IRS measures he would ever need, Bill Clinton had Hillary and Janet Reno and Madeline Albright, George W. Bush had Laura and all the left overs from his daddy’s Administration, Barack Obama had class, Michelle and exactitude in order to fend off the evil powers of the KKK. D.J. Trump is our Armani Empty Suit Executive, with his assorted of Bling and bad management techniques. However, Trump is perhaps the most dangerous of the bunch…….because he sold out this country….long, long, long ago. Let us Pray!
*One more thnig that really bugs us …is the so-called Trump Salute. The so-called Commander in Chief does not realize that HE does not HOLD his Salute
…..everyone under him HOLDS there Salute until he retires his. Meaning, that a quicker Salute from the Commander in Chief is always required so that your soldiers and officers do not have to continue to hold their FOREVER! Of course,
as Nero Fiddles….Rome Burns! Congratulations President/Dictator Caligula!
*OK…..so the Trumpster is a Commie Sympathizer, bed wetter and lying sack of potatoes…….what did you want….perfect?
John Oliver, invaluable as always:
*Hey, Maybe Al Cowens is available, or maybe Mike Pence can fill in for that part. Now all they heed is White Ford Bronco and the President sitting in the back with all the helicopters circling overhead. With crowds cheering as they cross the United States.
When the digital video of Trump of his engagement to Vlade and with D.J. on his knees naked in front of Putin…..would that even be enough for the American people to finally call for an Independent Prosecutor and demand to see D.J.’s passport, how many times he personally visited Russia, met with Russia Diplomats or exchanged Banking information?
Probably not, the Trumpsters in our society don’t really care about the facts….they only want their own White President to wipe the scourge of eight years of a Black America from their memories. “I am shocked that their is gambling in this place….round up the usual suspects… Here are your winning Commandant….Oh thank you!” – Did Paul Ryan say that really?
Come on CIA, NIA and FBI bring out all the Digital Video and Digital Recordings of every conversation by the Trumpster or his operatives and let the people decide. If not, let’s just raise that Solid Red Flag with yellow Hammer and Cycle to the top of the flagpole of the White tomorrow and declare we have re-instituted the USSR. If we don’t start addressing the facts – there may never be another election in America…..ever! Our Newly Declared Dictator can just start his own Stalin Style oppression, purges and gulags – with political prison camps and the trashing our First Amendment and even our 2nd Amendment..(quietly behind the scenes of course) 4th and 10 Amendments….. It really wouldn’t surprise us if he didn’t want to take away the vote for women and minorities! What a wonderful country! Resist folks….time is wasting away and so are our freedoms!
