David Duke: I’m with Herr

July 22, 2016 By: Primo Encarnación Category: Uncategorized

Well, it’s Evening in America, and only Hair Drumpf can save us, according to Hair Drumpf. His speech last night, as we all know, tripled down on hatred, xenophobia, nationalism, and all other kind of mean, nasty, ugly things. Dark times, dark people, dark thoughts…  It’s as if Willie Horton has been cloned in a variety of shades of notWhite, and been sent forth armed with bazookas and howitzers.  Be Afraid! Be Very Afraid!

At a record-breaking length for an acceptance speech, Trump also set the bar for the longest time a Presidential nominee has spent spewing lies and listing false problems. This is a time-honored technique for Republicans: just look at the non-existent scourge of fraudulent in-person voting, which led to the real fraud: voter ID laws which disproportionately disfranchise the poor, the elderly, and minorities. And then the GOP with the “who, me?” looks avow that was NEVER the intent, until one of them slips up and admits that well, yeah, that was the intent.

So the Industrial Grievance Complex is not a new schtick for the folks who put the “Con” in “CONservative.”

But Trump is so far beyond the pale, that he has eschewed even dog whistles, and has essentially flat out said, “Only I, by virtue of the strength of my iron will, can raise us up from the weakened, downtrodden state of our nation and overcome the Others who are lurking to stab us in the back, just waiting to make us all speak Farsi-inflected Spanish.”

Just don’t ask him for details.

So clear was the message, that the country’s most famous Klansman, David Duke, whom the Donald had never heard of before, except for all those times he’s mentioned him, applauded the speech. “Couldn’t have said it better,” said the former Grand Wizard, who is now so fabulously inspired that he wants to join Hair Drumpf in Washington as the freshmen Senator for Louisiana.

So I’ve cobbled together something else the Klueless Klutz Klan – aka the Family von Drumpf – can now plagiarize:

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Füror

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furor

    (sp): Ein Führer, not “Ein Furor”.
    Although they sure like to raise a furor over a lot of BS.

    Mein Führer, Dein Führer, Ein Führer! Heil Trump! Seig Heil!

    (shades of Dr. Strangelove…)

    Sandridge, I’m not sure if it’s considered a cacography or a catachresis – a little of both, maybe? – but either way, it was a deliberate malapropism.

    Well PE, I don’t even know what “a cacography or a catachresis” is/are, so it might be a little over the top (you got me stumped and trumped, euchre dat? so much for an elite edu…).
    I do know what a malapropism is, but it just doesn’t work for me. Not to discourage you though, your writing here is always top notch.
    A decade+ ago I used a sig line of ‘Welcome to the Fourth Reich’ (in German, mas o menos) in oppo to the Cheney/Bush regime, guess I’ll have to dredge it up:

    Herzlich Willkommen im vierten Reich!
    Mein Führer, Dein Führer, Ein Führer! Heil Trump! Seig Heil!

    I’ll take Mien Furor the republi-con tempest in a teapot [dome, revisited.
    Their ‘con’-ventional lock-step agreement heralds more ‘con’-fuse-on.
    Their ‘con’-damnation of all liberal or moderate is as much a bellwether as a weather siren. Credibility whether or not one hears it is non-existant.

    I’m not sure I approve of the artwork overall, as it suggests that Hillary Clinton is the Nazi in this saga. Since Trump doesn’t seem to have a symbol at the moment, “improvement” will have to wait.

    As a nit, however, the arrows on the symbol are pointing the wrong way. (Boy, are they ever!)

    Well, the Trump supporters WANT to be under the “care” of an Authoritarian Magic Daddy, who makes all the decisions and absolves them of any responsibility for individual thought or action.

    Mindless crowd membership isn’t a bug; it’s a feature.

    Let’s contribute to Duke’s Democratic opponent to make sure he
    crashes and burns. There are already far too many closeted Klansmen in Congress. Do we know who the Democrat is?

  14. Primo, I *like* your malapropism, especially coming as it does on the heels of Jim Wright’s “they hate us because they anus” on yesterday’s Stonekettle Station (stonekettlestation.com).

    Interestingly, “herr” (хер) is Russian slang for a penis.

  16. Polite Kool Marxist says:

    Hair Drumpf? Herr Drumpf? Or, simply Donnie “the herring” Drumpf. His takeover plan smells worse than herring left in the sun without benefit of salt or processing. Drop the “h” as is often done in French pronunciation, and it becomes “erring.” Like in the name of his second son, Err-Reich. That suits Donnie. He’s a ton of un-American bullshit, flakier than a Danish pastry, as silly as a load of Freedumb fries, and as crazy as Ilse Koch known as the “Bitch of Buchenwald.”

    DNA testing would probably reveal that Charles, David, Donnie and Ilse are all “sisters under the skin.” h/t to Rudyard Kipling, “For the Colonel’s Lady an’ Judy O’Grady Are sisters under their skins!” And, maybe a tie to Donnie’s maternal Scot family branch.

    Or, with the forgiveness of Mama, Donnie is nothing but the “whiny little bitch” that Bill Maher declared him to be.

    Rhea- let’s do a Go Fund Me and get $1144 to buy a “resurrection seed” from Drumpf’s spiritual adviser and bring Molly back to life. Wouldn’t she be a blast in today’s political climate?

  18. Polite Kool Marxist says:

    maryelle, Louisiana is a “run-off” state for elections and other purposes, so David Duke would be in contention with David Vitter if he runs for the Senate, or Steve Scalise if he runs for the House seat. Today, 7/22 is the filing deadline, if Duke is serious. Found no mention of Democrats past Mary Landrieu. That’s a Red state for certain.

  19. I figured I was the only one that noticed that “avuncular” butt pat as they left.
    Did you noticed how he jerked Melania around as they moved stage right?
    Details tell the story…

  20. epo, I have a feeling that Molly Ivins would take a look around and cry out, “What the hell have y’all been DOING since I left?!”

    Rhea … you are soooo right!! LOL Molly would be having a field day with Drumpf and his minions!!

  22. Um, that 75 minute acceptance speech. Anybody ever hear of a thing called logorrhea? I once heard thats something Fidel Castro had. He often spent two hours or more in slinging word slaw to the gathered crowd. Somebody even postulated that it was a sign of brain damage. Hmmmmmm.

    That boy ain’t right. Delusional, self-delusional, delusions of grandeur, the base eats it up because they love the anger and hate, fear and loathing. Psychiatrists would have a field day analyzing this deviant. Some already have and declare him to be a psychopath. Hitler, here we come.

    After the bombastic spectacle and the ruins that are the RNC, this Bernie supporter and soon to be Hilz voter NEEDS the DNC convention Monday. Bring on the brain bleach of truth to wash away the stench of the Drumpster fire. I’m with President Obama on this one. In the America where I live, I awoke to the birds chirping. Now I don’t doubt there are compounds in Idaho, Utah and Nevada where the delightful birds have been replaced by bird brains of the NRA hogging the sound waves with their ugly assault rifle chatter. There’s an easy fix for that and the assault rifle carnage – those who have a strange desire to carry military style assault rifles must earn the privilege by wearing the uniform.

    As for Donnie Drumpf’s ridiculous claim that those who supported Bernie will support him, I’ll let Senator Sanders tweets speak to that. Feel the Bern, Donnie!

    Primo, if I may, I’d suggest only a minor change to your excellent graphic. Make the arrows black to reflect Donnie’s mood and mind. Not a subtle change, I will admit. Your most excellent graphic is perfect “as is” for the WMDBS audience. But we need to remember there are folks who read here who are not exactly erudite. Exhibit #1 would be Louis Gohmert.

    If I had better computer skills, I’d graph the 1/1 correspondence of the hours when Louie is not mentioned by Ms Juanita Jean Herownself and Louie’s eruptions. I encourage reading, so at times we do need to make an effort to be sure the less literate do understand what we write. Right Louie?

  28. Polite Kool Marxist says:

    Primo in an effort to be kind to Louie, perhaps also the “H” should be lower case and black, too.

    😀 While I am impatiently waiting for Monday and a sane discussion on the State of the Nation, I have a couple of more thoughts I’d like to share.

    To all the Hilz surrogates and supporters, please get out on twitter. Every time Donnie yelps about “crooked Hillary” blast him with “Moocher Donnie.” Seriously. The dude refuses to release his tax returns which would reveal he pays none and that his ‘generous’ charitable giving is non-existent.

    Tim Kaine as Hilz running mate. Excellent choice. I’ll leave the numbers to daChipster and Primo. But my take? #1 Donnie’s head exploded over her choice. Tim is sane “pro-life” … I “get” that. He’s not a forced birther. He is the sanest pro-life person ever – he “gets” that he makes his choices and others make theirs. I like the man. Believe it or not, he’s a little bit like me. Albeit, I’m a bit more vocally pro-choice and an ally to the LGBTQA community.

    But the bottom line, we all have our feelings, opinions, etc. and even a 1st Amendment right to speak about them, when even at times our heads may be closer to our butts than reality allows. So yeah, even the snacilbupeR can speak.

    However, what Donnie and the snacilbupeR pervangelists do not “get” is that is that they have the freedom to make personal choices for themselves. They do NOT have any special privilege to decide those personal choices for others; much less the ‘right’ to force their choices down our throats.

    Don’t want same sex marriage? Then don’t have one. Don’t want an abortion? Then don’t have one. On the second matter, most white males should be safe. 😉

  30. Y’all, Jim Wright has an excellent essay on Tim Kaine. http://www.stonekettle.com/2016/07/the-decider.html

  31. maryelle says:

    I was underwhelmed by Tim Kaine as the VP choice, until I just heard him speak. Wow! This guy can make a difference and has the civil rights creds, fluent Spanish and a fantastically successful progressive wife. He was amazing!

    31
  32. Re: “Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer”

    So the snacilbupeR have reached far, far up the alimentary and pulled out the chant for a nasty little paperhanger from the 1930s??

    Yeah Miz Ivins would have been right, Hair Drumpf’s talk would have sounded far better in the original German.

    Drumpf über alles

  33. Old Fart says:

    I don’t know if this is the right “thread” to add this, BUT:

    If you saw the “Real Time with Bill Maher” convention episode with Michael Moore, he declared Drumpf the likely winner. His argument made me think that for a lot of Drumpf’s supporters, scared, ignorant, and hurting, this comes down to a statement: “If I’m hurting, then you should be too”.

    That mindset is easy to dismiss, but if your worldview includes bullying the outcasts and the “browns”, NOT being able to do so means a loss in status. Hell, there may be a lot of guys that would root for the Roger Ailes of the world as their secret role model (and yes, I mean in the rapey power tripping way). They might be pitiful if it didn’t mean the end of government as we know it.

    33
  34. PKM, thanks for all that. The link to Bernie’s tweets was awesome. RA.: thanks for the link about Kaine. PKM, your reference to Hillary playing the long game is right on the money. It’s about time. George Lakoff pointed out 16 years ago how conservatives started investing in their “infrastructure” decades ago. I’m really glad I found this site.

    Did you get your invite?

    Donald Trump Jr. will speak at the Neshoba County Fair grandstand at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday, July 26, fair officials announced today

    That doesn’t whistle up your dog? The Mississippi Burning Murders.

    Three young men murdered in Neshoba County 50 years ago registering African Americans to vote will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the White House has announced.

    “Murdered in a plot hatched by the Ku Klux Klan, James Chaney, 21, Andrew Goodman, 21, and Michael Schwerner, 24, will be awarded the medal posthumously by President Barack Obama at the White House on Monday, Nov. 24.

    In the midst of Freedom Summer 1964, the three men on Father’s Day were investigating the ruins of Mt. Zion United Methodist, burned to the ground by the Klan because it was being used as a meeting place.”

    Trump is walking in Ronald Reagan’s shoes.

    Righting Reagan’s Wrongs? By BOB HERBERTNOV. 13, 2007

    “The murders were among the most notorious in American history. They constituted Neshoba County’s primary claim to fame when Reagan won the Republican Party’s nomination for president in 1980. The case was still a festering sore at that time. Some of the conspirators were still being protected by the local community. And white supremacy was still the order of the day.

    That was the atmosphere and that was the place that Reagan chose as the first stop in his general election campaign. The campaign debuted at the Neshoba County Fair in front of a white and, at times, raucous crowd of perhaps 10,000, chanting: “We want Reagan! We want Reagan!”

    Reagan was the first presidential candidate ever to appear at the fair, and he knew exactly what he was doing when he told that crowd, “I believe in states’ rights.””

    Donald tRUMP? Do we give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he is ignorant of the history and just wants the cracker and peckerwood vote? Or is it something else?
