Probably seeing that the end is near, Trump is stepping up his efforts to destroy the US government and its stature around the world.  Just this week he’s nonsensically declared he has absolute power to pardon himself, sent his attack dog, Rudy Giuliani to raise the volume on Stormy Daniels and other women suing Trump, has continued tearing immigrant families apart at the border, refused to enforce provisions in the Affordable Care Act, allowed his EPA director to wreak havoc, allowed his education secretary to exclude guns from the nationwide study of school violence, and poked all of our allies in the eye.  The G6 just announced they are moving on without the US.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, and this picture of this week’s Time and The Economist magazine covers pretty much sums up the chaos that is the Trump regime.

I’m betting they have mind melded.

I wonder if Mother Pence is worried.

Georgia Republican Congressvarmint Drew Ferguson wants you to know that he’s a Yankee Doodle Dandy pure patriotic American type guy, so he did a tweet on Memorial Day.

That’s real nice except that Harry Truman wasn’t president on June 6, 1944, and those are Nazi troops.

Other than that, I think Ole Drew is a real Patriot and a damn genius.

Oh, y’all.  I hate to tell you this but …

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, who regularly launches crazed, conspiratorial rants in defense of President Donald Trump, has been lobbying the president and his staff for the job of America’s top law enforcement officer.

Politico reports that Pirro has “repeatedly told Trump’s aides and advisers over the last 18 months that she’s interested in taking over” for Attorney General Jeff Sessions in running the Department of Justice.

“Judge” Jeanine is so pro-Trump that even Fox News is embarrassed by her.

I put Judge in quotation marks because she hasn’t been a judge since 1991.  Since that time, she unsuccessfully ran against Hillary Clinton for Senate, been the subject of a federal investigation, and rode OJ Simpson’s back to media fame.

This woman does porn with a briefcase.

And it just got worse.

… the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman has revealed that Trump ordered current Attorney General Jeff Sessions to interview Pirro for the job of deputy attorney general, which is a position currently held by Rod Rosenstein.

Okay, last night I made the mistake of watching the news after the ballgame.  It gave me a bad case of the rage.

I found myself strongly inclined to grab my megaphone, go stand in my front yard and holler as loud as I can, “F*** Giuliani! Just F*** that rotten sumbitch!” at all my Republican neighbors until they called the damn police and had me arrested so I could go to jail and get local newspaper headlines so the whole town would know that we should F*** Giuliani.  It was a plan. I had a plan.

I don’t cuss much.  It has taken me 18 months to hit this level of rage and for some damn reason Rudy pushed me over the edge last night.

First they tell me that Rudy, an impotent old man, decided to poke a stick at Kim Jong-un. From the Wall Street Journal …

President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un got “on his hands and knees and begged” for their summit to be held after Mr. Trump canceled it in May.

I don’t know if Kim has a megaphone and Republican neighbors so he’s probably going to bomb something.  That’s gonna be his plan.

Then it got worse.  Rudy decides that he should pass judgement on Stormy Daniels.

“The business you were in entitles you to no degree of giving your credibility any weight,” Giuliani said of Daniels.”  Explain to me how she could be damaged. I mean, she has no reputation. If you’re going to sell your body for money, you just don’t have a reputation. I may be old fashioned, I dunno.

In the comments, he said he respects porn stars, but not “the way I respect a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who … isn’t going to sell her body for sexual exploitation.”

He then went on and said Trump wouldn’t mess around with Stormy Daniels, saying, “Look at her.” He explained that Trump likes classy women.

So here’s a man selling his very soul for a little attention and teevee time looking down on a woman who sells her body. Her body ain’t crazy like Rudy’s soul. Sweet Jesus sat down with the prostitutes but he kicked the Moneychangers out of the temple. Somebody remind Rudy.

No, Rudy, you’re not old-fashioned. You’re just batcrap crazy.  No, I mean it. Sane people don’t even think like that, much less say it out loud. I mean, you gotta dump two levels of the Hierarchy of Needs to get to Rudy’s place. Honey, B F Skinner couldn’t find him with a one-lane maze and a pound of gouda.

Look, John get-off-my-lawn McCain is just crazy old man.  Rudy is eight shades of grey passed that.  Rudy is at the ‘it’s irresponsible to put him on teevee because somebody is gonna get hurt’ level.

F*** Giuliani.

I had to read this from three different places before I would believe it’s real.

On a conference call with state officials to kick off the start of hurricane season, Trump explained why there were so many people who had to be rescued after hurricane Harvey.

“Sixteen thousand people, many of them in Texas, for whatever reason that is, people went out in their boats to watch the hurricane,” Trump said. “That didn’t work out too well. That didn’t work out too well.”

Hold on.  I have to take a few deep breaths before I can deal with this.  Nope, a few more. Somebody get me a cool rag for my head.

First off, many of them were in Texas because that’s where the freekin’ hurricane was.  Surprisingly, very few people in Nevada had to be rescued due to a hurricane in Texas.  Equally baffling is the low numbers of Texas rescues from fires in California.

Second off, one does not “watch” a hurricane, much less from a boat.  People on the coast know about tide surges, what 110 MPH winds can do, and that 52 inches of rain alone would sink your boat.

But here’s the clincher.  Texas Governor Greg Abbott is still kissing Trump’s hiney.

When asked later to confirm if people were out on boats to gawk at the storm, Abbott said he had “no information one way or another about that.”

Dumb as a bag of hammers and admiring the King’s clothes, Abbott didn’t have the courage to explain that the boats came out after the hurricane to rescue people trapped in their homes.

People NOT out hurricane watching.

I would like to extend a warm invitation to Trump to come sit in Bubba’s bass boat to watch the next hurricane that hits along the Gulf Coast.  Now, y’all all tell him it’s a bunch of fun and that Hillary was too chicken to do it.
