Dictator-in-Chief, Ex-Dictators from Mar muy Largo

Sir Loin, or Devon

According to legend, Charles II of France once knighted a particularly good joint of beef, giving it the name Sir Loin.

Now, the noble Orange Sort-of-King-but-Really-a-Fat-Stupid-Imbecile has decided to give Devon Nunes the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Everyone, on both sides, thinks the sirloin is more deserving.

Sure, Devon is genuinely stupider than the Orange-Sort-of-King, and that is not an accomplishment easily won.

Sure, Devon kept the Orange-Sort-of-King updated on the impeachment charges and led the defense team from behind, which is Devon’s favorite position.

Sure, Devon can’t outdo the Orange-Sort-of-King in the contests of naming man, woman, camera.

Sure, Devon is so devoid of scruples that even sycophants to the Orange-Sort-of-King cringe when he says anything.

Still, he is at least as good a Trump Republican congressman as a sirloin would be, and the sirloin would never worry about having to depend on a presidential pardon to go along with Medal of Freedom.

Like, Stop It

The use of ‘like’ has been declared an epidemic and a threat to the future of the language. Federal, state, and local governments have begun to debate alternatives to combat language degradation, beyond the removal of twitter posts by the outgoing gang of language degraders.

The initiatives are already drawing criticism and push back, primarily from right-wing groups who see the effort to restrict their incorrect, gratuitous use of a specific word as constitutionally unacceptable.

“It’s like making us put, like, a mask on our brains, like,” a view simultaneously expressed by QAnon, the entire senate Republican caucus, and all of TrumPutin’s children.

Abner Abner, a GOP state legislator from any red state, immediately tweeted, “This is socialism at its worst, like, yeah, it’s socialism that’s, like, un-American, and not, like, socialism, that, like, gives billions to corporate agriculturalists.”

A senator from Texas, either idiot,  immediately announced he would hold senate hearings. “The Democrats are fixated on impeachment by, like, not re-electing our king, and they want, like, socialistic socialism, but they, like, totally ignore the legitimiciality of, like, like.” He stopped pounding the table only for a second before adding, “It is, like, so bad to stop, like, using a word like, like, like. That is socialism, to stop using words just because they, like, don’t mean anything. Like ‘conservative,’ or, like, ‘intelligent Republican,’ or, like, so, yeah.”

And then Abner Abner and the senator from South Carolina went golfing with the lame duck who won’t, like, shut up and, like, go away. So, yeah …

New Word

TrumPutin’s press secretary has declared that her boss will be the titular head of the GOP for decades to come.

TrumPutin’s grin indicates he thinks ‘titular’ means something different than what his press secretary or the GOP thinks it means.

Why did she choose that word? Doesn’t she know the guy she works for? Hasn’t she heard the Access Hollywood tape? Doesn’t she know that her boss has always been driven by one impulse, and it isn’t to be the titular anything of the GOP for decades?

And yet, she will do it.

Republican senators who are under the delusion that the idiot who is going to be the titular head of the party for decades to come didn’t commit impeachable acts all had to look up the definition of titular. They were heartened to know they would not have to explain away his titulariness the way they absolved him for his Access Hollywood truthiness.

Yes, he will be the titular head of the party. And that, Republicans, is the problem with him and you.

 

Dictator-in-Chief, TrumPutin

All We Have to Fear is Stupidity Itself

TrumPutin, channelling all great dictators from every era, has come up with a line of propaganda to mask his inadequacies:

"Don't be afraid of covid ... don't let it dominate your life." 

No, we need only be brave like TrumPutin, who, unafraid, checked into Walter Reed, at taxpayer expense, where he was attended by a minimum of six doctors, at taxpayer expense, where he was administered steroids and medication cocktails, at taxpayer expense.

His brave treatment, which did not dominate his life nor cost him any money, was available as a result of testing on fetal tissue, which he opposes except when it is necessary to make him feel unafraid and not dominated by a "hoaxy" virus.   

After several days of bravery, TrumPutin had a drive-by to reassure other citizens unafraid and patriotic enough to avoid masks, social distancing, or other minimal efforts at responsible behavior. His efforts to cheerlead put Secret Service agents at risk, and were paid for, once again, by all taxpayers, both those unafraid and those who are intelligent and responsible. Those two groups have no mutual members.

Then he returned to a thoroughly infected White House, flailing away on twitter and behaving with even more stupidity, arrogance, and incoherency than even his most ardent admirers are used to.

Court the virus with in-person events, no masks, no precautions; label those who behave responsibly as silly; lie about the timing and severity of the infection; hasten to the hospital to accept treatment of the "hoax"; require non-disclosure statements by doctors, nurses, and staff; jeopardize the health of doctors, nurses, and staff who don't sign NDA's; minimize the effects from the sanitized and infected White House; fault the Gold Star families for causing the infection; and have taxpayers foot the bill. 

No, we need not be afraid of the coronavirus. But we need to be terrified, once again, by  TrumPutin and the idiots who mimic his "bravery".

Eternal?

Leave a comment 
TrumPutin's West Point speech was, like all his attempts at serious thought, a failure.

What was particularly pathetic was the reference to the permanent, timeless, enduring, and eternal things in life. TrumPutin read off that part of the speech as though he might actually have a clue of anything permanent, timeless, enduring, or eternal. As though anyone who had paid for someone to write a book for him titled The Art of the Deal would know about anything enduring. As though the short-term and the convenient weren't the ideals that run his life. 

True to character, he wasn't called on to actually name anything that might qualify, in his view, as enduring or timeless. Not even the most intrepid speechwriter would enter those waters with a moron like TrumPutin.

Trying as always to project an image of strength, he once again managed only to embarrass the nation. Nothing he said was true, let alone enduring. The entire charade was an erzatz campaign rally, and TrumPtuin hoped to use the event to erase the memory of his bone spurs. 

Endlessly searching for approval, TrumPutin is shameless when it comes to pandering. His audience was less the men and women forced to listen to his drivel than it was the base whose approval he craves to the point of desperation.

As always, make America whatever.

Sarcastic, but still Stupid

Leave a comment 
Every time TrumPutin opens his mouth, he says something stupid. Or sarcastic.

The difference is that when he says 
something stupid, nobody corrects him. Good people among the White nationalists; or I knew it was a pandemic before anyone else, even while I was telling everyone it was a hoax and not a pandemic, which was when I was cheerleading for the nation, by telling a lie, which everyone knew was a lie. No one corrects those stupid lies. 

Sarcastic is when one of his sycophants tells him, in a very supportive way, that he has said something stupid. For instance, when he says that  drinking Lysol or Clorox is a cure for the virus, or Noble isn't the way to spell the prizes from Finland or Denmark, or wherever the prize that Obama stole is from. 

So, really, stupid and sarcastic are the same thing, only apparent to his sycophants in different timeframes. 

Sarcastic is an excuse that he can employ when he says something that makes even his sycophants cringe, he can joke that he didn't mean it. That he was being sarcastic. 

As usual, he lies, first because he doesn't know what sarcastic means, and second, because he is most at home with stupidity, not sarcasm. 

He is, though, entirely caustic. And vile. And stupid. And a liar. But not sarcastic.

Make America whatever ...

Barr the Magnificent

Leave a comment 
William Barr, rescuer of all things corrupt in the TrumPutin regime, declares the Russia probe as one of the greatest travesties ever. He thereby becomes another in the long list of reasons why this group of scoundrels should be put out of its misery. 

Barr's disclosure is not surprising, as his only enduring qualification is an unshakable predisposition to do the wrong thing for the wrong reason. 

He sends an unsolicited memo to the Dept of Justice absolving TrumPutin, which is his resume and job application all in one. 

He misrepresents the conclusions in the Mueller report, declaring that Mueller exonerated TrumPutin, and disregarding Mueller's declaration that TrumPutin could NOT be exonerated.

He claims the Russian probe was a travesty, the greatest in recent history, and that there was no justification, even though his department found justification and found no political bias in the investigation.

Of course, the travesty is that TrumPutin was acquitted by a bare majority of senators who believed the Dershowitz theory that TrumPutin could not possibly have committed an impeachable offense, based on Area 51 of the U. S. Constitution.

Barr has a vested interest in the corruption of the TrumPutin regime, as it plows forward with deregulation, judicial incompetence initiatives, and politico-religious demagoguery.

Make America whatever, Billy Barr.

Eloquent and Believable – the Myth

Leave a comment 
The Obese Orange went on national television to comfort and reassure a nation. 

How could he fail? Let us count the ways.

First, his speech was written by Steven Miller and Jared Kushner. 

Miller, trying to qualify as a human being but failing every test except the one that gives him credentials in the TrumPutin regime, wrote the part about "foreign" virus and travel bans. 

Kushner, trying to qualify as an adult but failing in every regard except toadying for his dad-in-law, wrote the other incoherent parts, presumably including the "moment in time" nonsense.

Second, TrumPutin can't read and looked like an imbecile trying to pronounce complex words like "country."

Third, TrumPutin exhausted himself trying to look sincere, and was winded by the time he was halfway through the speech. He tried to manage sincerity, but could only get to grotesque.

Fourth, he has never told the truth, so the speech was ruined even before it began.

Fifth, he's an idiot.

Sixth and so on, see above.

Crown Prince and Clown Prince

Leave a comment 
The tragedy of TrumPutin's foreign policy is that there is none. And when he or his minions attempt to adopt a policy all they do is illustrate how stupid they are.  

Pompeo the idolator tries so ardently to curry favor with TrumPutin that he becomes the Clown Prince, mouthing the fables that his boss believes and smirking his way across the Sunday news shows. He is always alert to what TrumPutin thinks he knows and believes at the moment, and tries to apply a coherency to the changing policies of his leader. 

At the moment, Pompeo and TrumPutin are eager to assuage the ego of the Crown Prince and ensure the supply of cheap oil, and so they applaud the Saudi claims that Iran bombed their oil fields. They require no evidence, not even the fabrication that Crown Prince's military hacks invent. 

The evidence that Saudi Arabia provides is ironclad, according to Pompeo, and because it is ironclad to Pompeo, it saves TrumPutin from having to think about it. He accepts Pompeo's word for it, and Pompeo accepts the Crown Prince's lackeys' word for it.

Both Pompeo and TrumPutin have had practice in taking the Crown Prince's words as truth, as they did when they accepted the solemn vows that the Crown Prince had no involvement in Jamal Khashoggi's death. 

The evidence the Crown Prince has shared on the death of Khashoggi is as unbelievable as what he has provided regarding the bombing of his oil fields. He is not to be believed on either issue. That is not enough to discredit him in the eyes of TrumPutin and his Clown Prince. 

The Crown Prince and his servants are lying, and that TrumPutin and his Clown Prince are willing to accept the lies in their effort to produce a coherent or defensible foreign policy. One that is centered on TrumPutin's hotels and oil, in that order.

Second THoughts?

Leave a comment 
The reporter who asked TrumPutin if he had second thoughts about the tariffs on China had to have been kidding.

The notion that TrumPutin gave any thoughts to the tariffs is at odds with everything we know about the child who now rides shotgun in his official Marine helicopter.

It would be nice if the Orange One gave second thoughts to the tariffs, which would be his first thoughts on the subject. 

Alas, it turns out that he has given no second thoughts to the tariffs. Not only that, but according to his press secretary (herself not one given to overthinking anything), he doesn't even understand the question. 

And according to both the Secretary of the Treasury, a person skilled in the intricacies of sycophancy, and TrumPutin's chief economic advisor, a charlatan who understands that expensive clothes and multiple wives are essential qualifications to the emperor's counselors, their fearless leader did not hear the question. He answered it three times, but heard it nary a time. 

The country obviously is in skilled hands, but is at the whims of deficient ears. 

¡Baboso!  ¡¡Babosonazo!!
