Trumpian Disaster Porn

September 14, 2020 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Some dandy writing by a guy named Tim Miller —

President Trump attempted to hold an unmasked, indoor superspreader event in Henderson, Nevada on Sunday night, running afoul of Nevada regulations and his own administration’s guidelines. (Due to meager turn out, I have taken the liberty to downgrade it to a Category 3 minispreader.) This was Trump’s first indoor rally since the Tulsa disaster that cost Brad Parscale his job and after which Herman Cain lost his life.

Miller calls the Trumpshow “disaster porn.” Trump gave this rally to a small crowd while none of the cable news or CSpan covered it.

Think of it this way.  The entire west coast is a’blaze, there’s a hurricane a’comin’ on the Gulf coast when they haven’t clean up from the one two weeks ago yet, we are getting close to 200,000 people dead of a virus and all Trump can think to talk about is Hunter Biden or that Barack Obama gave an American Bill of Sale to China and is now secretly living in some kiddy porn secret basement outside of Lincoln, Nebraska, dining on the rare delicacy of Republican brains.

Disaster porn.  Here we are.

It’s a real place with a webpage and everything.

At least donations are not tax-deductible and they are not associated with any bishops.  But, that the fine print on the website, not in their materials.

 

What a Damn Little Whining Ninnie Baby

Would he like some cheese with that whine?

Trump said that he’s going to run for a third term, maybe.  He told a crowd that he’d be reelected in November and then …

And then after that, we’ll negotiate, right? Because we’re probably — based on the way we were treated — we are probably entitled to another four after that.’

The way he was treated?  There are dead people that he treated badly with a virus.  There are people who had their children ripped away from them and put in cages over what he did to force that damn wall.  There are people with their houses burned to the ground who he treated badly because they deserved it for voting Democratic.

The way HE was treated?  He called his followers into big crowded arenas so he could give them a virus.

How about all the people he’s hired and fired?  Didn’t he treat them badly?

How ’bout the way President Obama was treated, you know, because he wore a tan suit?  Did you ever hear him whine? No, you did not. He’s a grown up man who has read the Constitution.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

 

It Sounded Better In The Original German

Roger Stone took his goofy self to be interviewed on the Alex Jones Radio Show.  Good thing it wasn’t teevee because there only so much rugged handsome that rightwing women can handle all at once.

Stone had some great political advice for Trump.

Stone suggested having federal authorities seize ballots, having FBI agents and Republican state officials “physically” block voting under the pretext of preventing voter fraud, using martial law or the Insurrection Act to carry out widespread arrests, and nationalizing state police forces.

I’m going to jail, y’all.  I’m just telling you to start saving up bond money because all my lawyers are going to jail, too.

Stone also urged Trump to consider declaring “martial law” or invoking the Insurrection Act and then using his powers to arrest Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook, “the Clintons” and “anybody else who can be proven to be involved in illegal activity.”

I think Stone and Trump ought to have to come to my house to arrest me.  I could take ’em both.  I could.  And once I get them on the ground, there’s no way they could get back up.

It would probably be more believable if they could spell it.

Here’s how you get nominated for the Nobel Prize.

Thanks to Larry for the heads up.

Pissing Off The Prudes

September 11, 2020 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

After much research and the miracle of modern journalism, I have discovered that this story is true.

In New Hampshire a woman went to vote in the primary on Tuesday wearing a teeshirt that said, “McCain Hero, Trump Zero.”  I don’t know this for a fact, but I think she was trying to start something.  I mean, it kinda seems that way. And, holy cow, did she ever.

The election clerk told her that she could not wear that shirt in  a voting center.  The woman pointed out that another voter was wearing a large American flag on her shirt, the appropriated symbol of the lying, cheating, killing, stealing, sexually perverted, nasty political party.  Well, she didn’t say that.  I did.

Well, let the weirding begin:

Scafidi said at that point, the woman asked him if he wanted her to take her shirt off, despite not wearing anything underneath.

“I said, I’d rather she not,” Scafidi said. “But she took it off so fast, no one had time to react so the whole place just went, ‘woah,’ and she walked away, and I let her vote. She could’ve just gone into the hallway and turned it inside-out.”

She voted and put her shirt back on as she left the booth.  Let’s hear it for Lady Godiva of Extner, New Hampshire!  She got her very cool teeshirt saying in newspapers across the country.

In all good fun, the poll workers just let it be.

Scafidi said as bizarre as the incident was in the moment, poll workers mostly laughed it off and continued about their day after she left the polling location.

“If she felt it was her right, more power to her,” Scafidi said. “We all laughed about it as things were winding down, so I don’t know if it was a set-up, but I’ve never experienced anything like that.

Everybody stand up and do a thumbs up toward New Hampshire.

Thanks to el Lagarto for the heads up.
