There are stories that just keep getting better and better every time you add more layers. This has definitely been the case with the so-called Trump Cemeterygate. Thank goodness for the Watergate Hotel. Now, we can attach gate to every single so-called scandal. There are big scandals and stupid ones. This one falls somewhere near the later.

Everything started out innocently enough. It was a simple story about a man lacking empathy. These stories are not unique. We see them all the time when teenagers and young adults take selfies at Auschwitz with a big smile on their face. I had a moment when I was much younger at Pearl Harbor. I was whacked on the back of my head and told that you never ever do that. It was the last time I did.

Only a jackass would take a political photo op in this moment with a stupid thumb’s up sign. Yet, a jackass is what we have. This story wouldn’t be worth mentioning otherwise, but the jackassery doesn’t end there. Apparently, an Arlington Cemetery employee tried to prevent them from going into the restricted area and was pushed aside in the same kind of thuggish way that Trump pushed aside the leader of Montenegro.

Yet, it doesn’t end there. The story coming out of the Trump camp is not that they broke any rules or violated any policies about the restricted area. They did mention the incident but simply said that “an employee had an apparent mental health episode.” Sure. All of these pesky public servants expecting you to follow rules about a solemn space. Surely, they are deranged.

The cherry on top of this douchebag sundae came when vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance told a rally crowd that Kamala Harris could “go to hell” for her negative comments on the situation. Harris would certainly be well within her rights to comment on this, but she hasn’t. So, this leaves one very important question for one of the biggest jackasses of our time. Are you saying that she did say something when she clearly didn’t or are you suggesting she should go to hell for not defending your future boss’s right to flout the rules and act like a jackass?

I am choosing to think these two are the highest performing performance artists of our time. Borat has nothing on these assclowns. If your goal is to see who can be the biggest asshole then we have a tight race between both of the guys on top of the GOP ticket.

Anyone supporting these duchebags are either addled-brained or diving head first into nihilism. It doesn’t help when we get more performance art like this. For those that don’t want to go down the rabbit hole, it is a New York Times editorial saying that Trump should run on character. I don’t pay to get behind the NYT paywall. Please tell me this is a joke.

Maybe it is all a joke. Maybe we are all the butt of a huge extended psychology experiment to see just how long it would take for decent people to lose their ever-loving mind. The layers of stupidity in this story are just staggering. We are being punked. Ashton Kutcher is just around the corner laughing his ass off.
