An Arranged Marriage
It is the honest to goodness truth and a verifiable scientific fact that the theme song played for Trump’s announcement of Mike Pence as his running mate was the Rolling Stones “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”
Yeah, well, you can bet that wasn’t done by mistake.
“And one of the reasons is party unity, so many people have said, party unity. Because I’m an outsider,” he added in explaining his decision.
And by party unity he means “the Koch Brothers have a lot of money and I don’t.”
That’s certainly exciting. Party unity. Not that Pence would be a great President or that he’s a leader, but that the Republican Party trumps good government. (See what I did there?)
My favorite meme of the team —
Not even counting the piano man, I love the way that Pence is looking at Trump’s stubby little fingers.
“You can’t always get what you want. But you get what you need!” Wonder how long it takes for the Rolling Stones to pitch a hissy fit about using their music? You’d think Trump, et al, would figure out that the only music safe to use at one of his rallies would be from Ted Nugent.
Watch 60 Minutes tonite…. I just saw the preview on Face the Nation. It should be interesting.
1Considering how the Koch Bros feel about Drumpf and LUV them some Pence, if I were Drumpf I’d be having a food taster and some body armor between me and Pence.
Beware the Ides of March, Donnie!
2Too late, Ethel. Drumpf already was warned back in May. Imagine Drumpf will prolly get sued and lie about it some more.

3Tiny Digits Drumpf was going for a divorce from Pence before the TP thing was even consummated, but someone leaked the Pence nomination and it seems Tiny Digits had to accept the fact that he was committed to go with Pence.
Yup, sometimes you sure don’t get just what [or who] you want!! LOL
4Ah, but Drumpf is used to getting what he wants and if the KochKash doesn’t magically appear, there may be a new VP announced, someone who will put out and shut up.
5“I love the way that Pence is looking at Trump’s stubby little fingers.”
Perhaps Mikey Pence is humming that old song “Anticipation” as he eyeballs those icky digits…maybe he misses the old team logo already?
6Talk about a shotgun marriage. Its every thing the TP party could hope for. Rich Boy and his punk. I think the Koch’s are smart enough to see through this. They will cover the down side of the ticket with money. And if the top wins. Well accidents happen all the time. The right accident and their boy is in. Kind of a win win –for them.
7Pence looks like a KGB agent sent from Russia with love, Donnie.
8epo, More Pus is probably a gift from Scumpf’s Russian boyfriend, Vlady Manboobs Putrid.
9How can Drumpt refer to himself as an “outsider” when he brags about how many politicans he has bought — I mean made contributions to.
10Is that Liberace’s piano?
11Debbo-+1 🙂
12If that is Liberace’s piano it appears to be Christie and Palin disgracing it.
13Ho boy! What is up with those chairs? A little too regal? A little too, um, gay? Ms. Betty Bowers would have a few things to say about that decor.
Here’s a new theme song for them:
14“You Can’t Seem to Get Anything Right”.
Have been waiting for an explanation, but I’ll bite now. Is that the photo-shopped specter of $carah draped in green draped over the piano?
BTW Who is the “designated driver” for the WMDBS during the snacilbupeR drunken debauchery? Otherwise I’ll be waiting for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to deliver The Late Night report.
15PKM? Designated driver? At TWMDBS? Why?
Uh…. wut!? Is Miss Juanita Jean Herownself going out of town? Now!??? Oh, noes…….
Tell me it isn’t so.
16Oh. And just a mention. What’s up with those BLUE ties? Hmmmm…..
17If that’s a depressed Christie at the piano, maybe he’s the one playing “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” Just PLEASE don’t let Palin screech it.
18Well, if stubby fingers equals teeny weeny winkie, then blank stare equals teeny weeny brain.
19I think you’re right Tilphousia.
I believe the smallest thing about Scumpf and his snacilbupeR and foreign dictator lovers is their hearts. Imagine shriveled up and gray. Probably not only their hearts, and I’m not thinking fingers. Just sayin.
20Pence is staring at Trump’s fingers to see if they ever leave his hands. Thats exactly how much he trusts his party’s nominee.
21I’m guessing that woman with her arms over top of the piano leg would have to have her butt facing the camera in order for her legs to be that far away from where the piano leg is. Gotta be a bad photoshop. Sure resembles Caribou Barbie the lounge lizard.
22The body language says it all! If you haven’t seen this catastrophe of an interview, go to the CBS 60 Minutes website and watch!
Or – to repeat Flounder’s immortal observation in the “Animal House” movie – https://youtu.be/arZdeg_fL-I
23I watched it, Umpty and didn’t see a piano in the background anywhere. Drumpf sure has bags under his eyes. Must keep loose change in there.
24The campaign must be wearing on Trump. He looks like somebody’s grandmother in this picture.
25A bit of subtext in the semiotics of ties. Pence’s is solid blue, a color not normally associated with the Republican party when not part of a flag display. Trumps is mostly blue stripes with a hint of some red. Ditto.
What does Pence’s tie “say” to voters? It’s not the orange or lime green that for some reason GOP men have been showing up with lately, as if most of them were either UTexas or UTennessee grads, or owned lime plantations. Pence’s tie says he feels “blue”. Not in the Democratic sense, of course, because he is a Republican, but in the sense of depression. And he looks depressed. Trump’s tie is mostly blue (because not everyone has bowed down to him and handed him wads of money–yet) with a red streak for his anger, and the overall busy design representing his inability to stay on one track longer than a half dozen words. Fireworks on the tie would have been clearer.
