February is Donald Trump History Month Because He is More Oppressed Than Anyone. Ever.
Up until I read Donald Trump’s remarks kicking off Black History Month, I did not feel sick like I do now. He spent the whole speech talking about himself and how persecuted he is. The only thing he could say about Dr. Martin Luther King is that he’s “unique” and someone said he took King’s statue out of his office and they were wrong, wrong, wrong. Poor Donald.
He has got to quit whining. I can’t take it. I just can’t. I will pay him twenty dollars cash American money to stop whining for an hour so everybody can catch their breath.
He did offer this tidbit about actual black history:
Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I noticed.
He does not know who Frederick Douglass is. He does not. And he thinks Douglass is still alive and is competing for Nielsen ratings.
Holy damn cow, y’all.
I Love Yew, Texas, And Sun City Democrats
I do. I love this bunch of butt-kicking, loud-mouthed, wine-drinking old farts and fartettes up in Williamson County. They kick up more dust than Noah’s flood could settle. I’ve been up to speak to them before and had a ball.
Take this community newspaper announcement.
Well played, Sun City Democrats, well played.
Thanks to Arden and Larry for the heads up.
Keep Marching
Well, lookie at this: The little snowflakes have covered Harley-Davidson.
A presidential visit to a Harley Davidson factory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin has been canceled because the company was worried about the fallout from protesters for hosting the toxic Trump.
CNN reported, “President Donald Trump will not head to Milwaukee for a previously scheduled visit of a Harley Davidson factory after the company decided it wasn’t comfortable hosting him amid planned protests, an administration official said Tuesday…It was the threat of protests, and not Trump’s planned signing of executive orders, that made Harley Davidson uncomfortable, the official said.”
The protests are working because Harley-Davidson went out of their way to say they didn’t disagree with Trump’s policy. So, if we can’t make them smart, at least we can make them scared of their bottom line.
And this morning I got some restored faith in my fellow Americans. Reuters just released a poll —
Imposing a temporary travel ban on citizens from seven Muslim countries, President Donald Trump said the move would help protect the United States from terrorism. But less than one-third of Americans believe the move makes them “more safe,” according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Tuesday.
So, Trump has a whole 30% of Americans behind him. I can live with that.
Oh yeah, there’s one other poll this morning I kinda like. Chris Christie approval rating dropped to 17%.
The Supremes
Okay, here’s the deal, I think Donald Trump should be treated just like President Obama. I think Trump should not be allowed to pick a justice in the last year of his presidency either.
So, let’s wait a year and see if Trump is still around. I’m betting no.
