If You Don’t Like the Answer, Shoot the Messenger

As anyone with common sense would know, incoming, uh…urp, president Cheeto Jesus is going to suck (sorry momma) at governing.  To reward his benefactor, Vladimir Putin, CJ has picked his first major twitter battle with the intelligence community, refusing to believe the mountain of evidence that the Russians did indeed hack into DNC and other computers in an effort to sway our national elections. Now that the CIA and other agencies have refused to change their assessment, CJ is now threatening to undo the Director of National Security that was put in place after 9/11 to coordinate the nation’s multiple intelligence agencies.

Apparently CJ has confused his role as Chief Tyrant at Celebrity Apprentice with his role as incoming, uh…urp, president.

UPDATED: Running Start: GOP Dismantles Office of Congressional Ethics

January 02, 2017 By: El Jefe Category: Congress

UPDATE:  As Juanita Jean has already pointed out, Congressional Republicans reversed themselves on dismantling the Office of Congressional Ethics after withering criticism from everyone including Cheeto Jesus.  An embarrassing start to what promises to be an embarrassing Congressional session.

Oh, and BTW – Best Tweet of the Day:

Well, we now know how this is going to go.  In it’s first action of the new Congress, Republicans dismantled the independent Office of Congressional Ethics which was put in place after the Jack Abramoff scandal.  You remember Jack, don’t you?  He was the guy who confessed to multiple counts of corruption during the GWB administration leading to the conviction of 21 officials all the way up to the White House.  I guess we don’t need no oversight anymore, yes?

New Year’s Revelers Cheer 20 Million Americans Losing Healthcare

January 02, 2017 By: El Jefe Category: Trump

Cheeto Jesus hosted hundreds at his lair in South Florida for New Years.  During his remarks, he repeated the lie that he was going to build a wall and gave passing acknowledgement to the terrorist attack in Istanbul.  But the crowning moment was when he renewed his promise to repeal Obamacare which has brought healthcare to an estimated 20 million Americans.  His well healed guests cheered others’ suffering.  We are on edge of the new Dark Age.

“And I Know a Lot About Hacking” – Yeah. Hacking America.

January 01, 2017 By: El Jefe Category: Trump

We’re entering Reality TeeVee World.  Now every national security or economic issue is going to be teased for days, just like Celebrity Apprentice.  Last night, Cheeto Jesus promised reporters a “revelation” on “Tuesday or Wednesday” about the hacking by the Russians of our elections.  This arrogant ass (sorry Momma) has decided he knows more than 17 intelligence agencies, using the false accusation that they got the WMD wrong in Iraq.  The fact is that the intelligence agencies didn’t get WMD wrong.  Cheney and his cronies cooked the intelligence to get the answer they wanted.  But we all know that.

“I just want them to be sure because it’s a pretty serious charge,” CJ said.  When asked how he knows more than US intelligence agencies, he said, “You’ll find out on Tuesday or Wednesday.” So, national security issues are teased like crappy television shows.  CJ’s nonsensical declarations last night harken back to the whole birther mess in 2011 and 2012.  Remember when he said, “I have people that have been studying [Obama’s birth certificate] and they cannot believe what they’re finding …”?  What they found was nada, zero, nothing.  So, the guy who made a career out of peddling BS as jewelry is now saying he knows more than 17 intelligence agencies.

One last thing that I left out – The stupidest thing he said?  Look at this:

“I don’t care what they say, no computer is safe,” he added. “I have a boy who’s 10 years old; he can do anything with a computer. You want something to really go without detection, write it out and have it sent by courier.”

“Send it by courier”?  This clown is so out of touch that he thinks the average American can afford a courier.  Jesus.  No, really.  Jesus.

This should be entertaining, if not infuriating.

 

Mormon Tabernacle Choir Sells Out – One Singer Says No

December 30, 2016 By: El Jefe Category: Trump

The Church of Latter Day Saints announced last week that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will sing at the, uh…urp, inauguration of Cheeto Jesus.  The announcement touched off a huge debate amongst the faithful, and 19,000 have signed a petition demanding the church rescind its decision.  One singer, though, Jan Chamberlin, has gone further and is standing her moral ground and publicly resigned from the choir saying that if she stayed a member after the appearance in DC by the choir.  In a letter she posted on Facebook, she said if she stayed, she “could never look at herself in the mirror again”, and that she “wouldn’t throw roses to Hitler, and could never sing to him.”

Good for her.

“We Ought to Get On With Our Lives”

December 29, 2016 By: El Jefe Category: Trump

Cornered by the press this morning, Cheeto Jesus engaged in word salad about the Russian hacking during the election, but the most shocking thing is that when asked about Lindsey Graham calling for strong sanctions against Russia, he said, “We should get on with our lives.”  WHAT? “…get on with our lives”?  If anyone needed convincing that he is nothing but a puppet for Russia, this should change your mind.  Whether the election was affected or not, Russian hackers, at the direction of Vladimir Putin, TRIED to affect the result of the election.  And CJ just says to “get on with our lives”?  That’s just like GWB calling for Americans to go shopping after 9/11.  Jesus.  I really mean Jesus.  Here’s more stupid things he blathered:

“I think that computers have complicated lives very greatly. The whole age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what’s going on.”  We have speed. We have a lot of other things but I’m not sure you have the kind of security that you need. But I have not spoken with the senators and I certainly will be over a period of time.”

Have you noticed that whenever CJ doesn’t have the slightest clue what he’s talking about he always says, “…nobody knows what’s going on.”?  Apparently he doesn’t “know what’s going on”, but we can be sure that intelligence and military officers certainly do.  So do all Americans who are normal. He just doesn’t like the answer that will piss off his patron.

He’s already out of control and not even in office yet.  I dread the next 4 years.
