Hi Jeff. Great post! Great title! That was absolutely horrific wasn’t it? My acid reflux went to 11. You know there’s only so much “throwing up in your mouth a little” you can do before it becomes a full on puke fest. I’d consume a full gallon of dago red with the resultant barf-o-Rama and hangover before I’d watch that ego maniac’s narcissistic injury laden wounded animal diatribe ever again.

When are the republicans going to send for the loony wagon to haul him off? And no, yesterday would not be soon enough.

I started watching clips from it but then had to mute so all I got were gyrations and hand flapping. Which was also more than I could stomach. Thank you to all you people who actually watched. And listened. I can probably assimilate enough of the lying slobber to last me until the next lying slobber-fest.

Why, yes it is. And how did he stay in the US? He was at the end of his visa and in the terminal at LAX and suddenly decided he wanted to be in Hollywood. So he overstayed his visa until someone hired him. He’s also responsible for the charade that Trump was a great business man. Along with then NBC president Jeff Zucker, who then went to run CNN. May they both burn in hell.

I was going to mock Donny "gift" to the military of a $1,776 bonus, but all reporting on it made it sound legit, so I left it alone.

but nope, of course it just came out (shit that happened while I was writing this shit) that it's a sleight-of-hand scam.

"Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man"

Yes, I KNOW our system of government has proven over 249 years that it really does NOT "check and balance" itself very good (See Civil War, Jim Crow Laws, ERA, Citizens United, et al, for more information). Nonetheless, I NEVER in my wildest imagination would have thought a President would appear in this country and get away with so much crime, violence and death as this lochia mess of a human. For me, it is the court system and, specifically, The Supreme Court, that has EPICALLY FAILED us. And, yes, I know the sketchy at best history of bad rulings in the past too. But STILL!!!

Second, I have always known that 1/3 of our country was just waiting for the right time for the South To Rise Again!!! Here is a "no shit" story for ya: my mother married a Navy pilot in February of 1944. She met his mother a few months before the marriage in southern Illinois. The first words out of her soon to be mother-in-law's mouth was, "We ain't done with you damn Yankees yet!!!" My mother responded, "Uh......OK?" Let's just say my mom never got along with her....ever.

All to say that the rise of MAGA and Trump is a direct result of The Cult of millions and millions of people in America who have inherited and believe the "White Superior Race" narrative of western history. Everything about ICE, anti-immigration, DEI, "shit countries," "human garbage," etc, in this authoritarian regime is built on this FOUNDATION of DNA and skin pigmentation matters.

Moral? Even if Trump and MAGA were to magically disappear tonight, America will STILL have a deeply embedded and cruel RACE PROBLEM that is a true cancer in our society. IT WILL NOT GO AWAY. Sorry folks. It's just a fact. And...It is our "Bottom" in America! And they will surely find another Trump! As Jeff says when signing off: you can set your watch to it...

Denise Donaldson's avatar

True about the DNA, Brad. Almost 25 years ago, a friend moved to Atlanta after living up North all her life, and soon told me that the racism is simply inherent. People in the South don't even think about it; they just live it, and it's as natural as the air they breathe.

When Obama ran in 2008, they didn't even bother to overtly put him down. They just "knew" he was a worthless [fill in a racist epithet] and wouldn't vote for him.

I had similar experiences in the south visiting my brother in the New Orleans area in both Louisiana and Mississippi. I'll never forget my USAF officer training (8 weeks) in Montgomery, Alabama.

Our family lived in northeast Ohio, and when he was about 19, my brother was suddenly and mysteriously born again in a traditional Baptist sect. No idea how he ever connected with them. He adopted all their rigid, regressive beliefs. He quickly divorced his first wife because she only agreed to be about an 85% tradwife (he made her give him her paychecks), and has been a pontificating, proselytizing hypocrite ever since, four wives later.

I can’t watch him speak. I literally cannot. I can see a snippet on late night TV for a few seconds at a time, but if it is more than that, I start feeling nauseated.

She probably bought the bibles, branded watches, guitars, shitty gold sneakers, etc. Has a special room in her house for all the grift merch. Einstein, she ain't

I can't help but wonder what they have on Miss Lindsey. One poke and she was a convert? It's truly weird. Maybe she just likes the golf access?

I cannot even begin to figure out what filth they've got on Graham: it cannot possibly be anything as pedestrian as being gay--despite all of the efforts of the "Christian" Nationalists, the fact is that most of the nation has moved on (even South Carolina) from considering that as anything even close to a scandal. Whatever Graham did must be horrendous--and fully documented.

I saw a post somewhere that said "I really hate to miss Donald Trump's speech tonight, but someone invited me to their house to listen to Yoko Ono's greatest hits. And their amp goes all the way to 11."

I once hosted a Bad Taste Party (it was a hoot!) and we played Slim Whitman's Greatest Hits on a kid's phonograph.
