British Incursion

June 03, 2019 By: Primo Encarnación Category: Uncategorized

In the biggest bomb to hit Britain since the Blitz, Dunning J Kruger has flown over to London.  First of all, you know Trump holds Britain in low regard because the Ambassador to the Court of St James – yet another pal of his – is Mr. Stiff Prick.

Actually “Woody Johnson”

On arrival, Trump called London Mayor Sadiq Khan a “stone cold loser” and, typically, misspelled his name while insulting his 5’6″ height. “Kahn [sic] reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job – only half his height.”  Meanwhile, Melania be’d best by appearing as Eliza Doolittle.

“Vouldn’t it be besterly?”

England is responding with their typical brio and aplomb.  The Vauxhall Bridge, which faces the US Embassy, has been festooned with 5 banners reading “Resist sexism”, “Resist racism”, “Resist hate”, “Resist cruelty” and “Resist Trump.”

The Museum of London is hoping to add this satirical blimp to their permanent collection in honor of a “controversial moment.” (No, really!) The 20′ blimp was approved to fly by Mayor Khan, who also earned Trump’s Twit-ire by likening his divisive rhetoric to “fascists of the 20th century.”

Inspired by that blimp, which originally flew last year, an American animatronic dinosaur creator has sent this to the UK: a 16′ robotic Trump at what we all know to be his morning toilette.

I wonder what kind of welcome the Queen has planned?

Yes, Ma’am

From late last year, George Packer of the Atlantic summarized the last 60 years of the GOP and nailed it, from pre-Goldwater to the Trump era.  Best quote:

“The corruption of the Republican Party in the Trump era seemed to set in with breathtaking speed. In fact, it took more than a half century to reach the point where faced with a choice between democracy and power, the party chose the latter. Its leaders don’t see a dilemma—democratic principles turn out to be disposable tools, sometimes useful, sometimes inconvenient. The higher cause is conservatism, but the highest is power.”

it gives a blistering picture of what we non-GOPers face against “true believers”.  And it ain’t pretty.
