Note: I use the word “further” here to note that Donald Trump only threw gas on an already burning pile of troubles.
I could have used a euphemism like “FUBAR” here but I don’t feel like treating this human toxin like a friend at a tea party who vomits on the doily.
First an image from an old column suggesting that the super villain Trump killed Abe a second time.
What follows is a hurried outlining I just made in about five minutes of all the things that demonstrate that the Trump WWF cult remembers as the greatest presidency of all time is as fevered as it gets. First of all the economy he inherited came from Barack Obama who sailed through the Republican fed Mortgage collapse and world depression of 2008 by raising taxes to spend money to keep our economy going which even Republicans signed off on because things were quickly heading into 1930’s Depression level shit. So if the economy was good it was Obama not Trump who should be given the lions share of the credit.
BUT WHAT ELSE SHOULD TRUMP BE GIVEN CREDIT FOR??????????????????? (PARDON ME WHILE I PUKE!)
SECOND PROLOGUE:
Cults can’t easily hide in plain sight. THANK GOD. Life is too darned busy with the Internet and cell phones pulling the average person’s eyes to their cell phone 2,000 times (or more) a day…..in an 18 hour day that 111 views per hour
For another example of business NPR reports today that the Sundance Festival that offered 24 movies 40 years ago when it started has received over 17,000 movies this year to choose from. If they averaged a petite one hour in length that would require a person a little over three years of watching to see them all at 18 waking hours per day. So it takes work for 25% of America’s population to absorb even a fraction of the Fox News inspired coverage. No wonder Trumplicans can end up being confused…..From another of my columns, The Furries are coming for us.
BTW Minnesota’s Republican candidate was still making this claim that children were pooping in School kitty litter boxes the week of the election a full half year after I wrote this column which my editor found so appalling he sent me a comment wondering where these Republicans were coming from.
So the list of Trump presidential turds in no particular order and with only minimal summaries:
Iran. By denying Iran the commitment to a world pact on the environment it freed the cultish imams to continue refining uranium into fissionable bomb making material and freed it to continue being a renegade nation which provided the Israel haters in Lebanon and Gaza with rockets and the support to unleash the recent Hamas slaughter that now threatens to start a raging fire worse than George W Bushes forays into the Middle East as a clueless crusader.
Oh and slowing global warming was slowed down too sorry corals, sorry song birds, sorry coastal cities, sorry flood ravaged populations from monsoons spun off in different directions, sorry elderly people with limited air conditioning etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
Israel by OK’ing the creation of Jerusalem as the official capitol of Israel and paying heed to the corrupt Bebe Netanhayu he unleashed the most virulent Jewish settlers to pillage Palestinians who have suffered under Israeli politics and unleashed Netanyahu to destroy the independent Israeli courts which might actually hold him to account for his corruption while taking his military establishment spy network off of Hamas thus putting all Israel under threat of losing the support of people like me in the United States who are more than tired of pretending that all Israelis are Anne Franks when they are beginning to put NRA groupies to shame with their stocks of munitions and eagerness to abide by stand your ground tactics when it comes to angry Palestinian kids. And from another of my Columns on the subject of Israel. You have my sympathy Ilhan
Russia’s Stalin Wannabe leader Vladimir Putin has only gotten more aggressive knowing that Trump turned America on its head leading Putin to think no one would stop him if he invaded the Ukrainians after thirty year of independence from the Russia ruled by Stalin who butchered and starved in the previous Century. Now the global warming besieged Earth is squandering its treasure to prevent a democracy from being eaten by the Russians who came so close to Democracy themselves before Putin crushed it.
And Putin is only one of the many dictators unleashed by nationalists everywhere now playing by the Trump playbook. From another of my old columns. Pete’s Way
And here’s the crude cartoon I drew to emphasize the Trump Way:
Cultism
Science Denial
Undermining justice…..or at least the Respect for the Law now claiming that the four court cases out of the many investigations Sean Hannity listed are now proof that he needs to be reelected to gut the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department that he never managed to find a supine enough Attorney General to castrate it for him.
A million Covid Deaths that his worshipers deny took place which included a hundred thousand deaths from people who on Trump’s advice by refusing to be vaccinated as people like the Furry-addled 2020 Minnesota Republican governor candidate, a Doctor if you can believe it, agreed telling voters he knew better that Covid was nonsense.
The turbocharging of journalism’s abandonment in the miasma of Internet overload at a time when Deep Statey consortiums of the Rich are buying up newspapers, radio stations and tv stations to disseminate and broadcast Trump friendly news absent serious content while news prostitutes like Fox News’s Murdoch family gin up viewership and revenue by passing on dubious pro Trump propaganda and outright lies which has cost them big time in court but not enough to offer the neutral news the claim to offer.
the turbocharging of the cheapening of Christianity by tying it with a political party and big money so that evangelical ministers are now discovering they piss off their congregations when they read passages of the Bible like the beatitudes which their congregants complain sound like liberal bullshit.
the turbocharging of gun mania, gay hating, immigrant hating and white racial resentment and rooting for his 20 most mutant congressman to grind America’s government to a halt on behalf of making think its Joe Biden’s fault to justify his reelection through more fraudulence which he hopes to achieve should he win reelection and replace government with graft.
BUT. You gotta admit Donald Trump made politics a real spectator sport if the soap opera of a staged World Wrestling Federation match really counts as sport. Its not, of course. Its an entertainment business and understanding that is like understanding that fiction novels are not the truth no matter how much their fiction attempts to tell us many truths. There are boring good guys in politics and their are heels like Donald Trump who tend to be fan favorites because they are more fun.
I’ll add this. Minnesota politics gave Donald Trump the template for his winning race for President. We elected a professional wrestler as our governor while I was on the Duluth School Board. I liked Jesse although I voted for the Republican candidate that year. Like Trump I thought Jesse could win. I counted on such an election myself in the year Ross Perot first demonstrated America’s dissatisfaction with Republican and Democrat politics in 1992.
I think this is my first book. I may call it my two hour book because that’s how long it took me to cobble it together here on my blog. It will take longer to read because such a book will include all the verbiage of the several 1000 word columns I added links too.
I will publish it with some polishing because there is one thing people will need to understand from the start of my campaign. I oppose Donald Trump not only because he’s trying to destroy America’s democracy in the bullshit name of saving it but because everywhere Donald Trump has been in his life he has made the world a worse place to live and has threatened it future existence. That is what he want’s his Christian abandoning proto fascist supporters to continue on doing.
To that I’ll be making another claim. Donald Trump is hurting his supporters and they are far better people than to be represented by such a turd as Donald Trump. As I once caught hell for writing in my blog about a woman on the Duluth School board who kept claiming the people of Duluth would be saving money by building a massive new school facilities system that today has added about 30 million a year in operational costs…….sometimes people need a brick to the head. Trump’s addled supporter need a brick load of truth knocked into theirs.
