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.

(Right after I posted this I noticed that El Jefe wrote about the same thing. Great minds, y’all.)

Donald Trump is just a wealth of information about cybersecurity.  First off, expect his other son to be put in charge of it. “I have a boy who’s 10 years old. He can do anything with a computer.”

Asked about the Russians hacking us, Trump calmly explained it all.

And I know a lot about hacking. And hacking is a very hard thing to prove. So it could be somebody else.”

“I also know things that other people don’t know, and so they cannot be sure of the situation,” Trump responded when asked why he doubts intelligence reports of Russian hacking, according to a pool reporter.

When asked what Trump knows that other people don’t know, Trump responded, “You’ll find out on Tuesday or Wednesday.”

Or maybe Thursday, or …. hey, maybe it’s just like the secret stuff Trump said his investigators in Hawaii found about Obama’s birth certificate.  We’re still holding our breath for that one.

And then there’s his solution to cybersecurity:

“You want something to really go without detection, write it out and have it sent by courier.”

And there’s no way in hell that any courier, who makes maybe $20 an hour, can be corrupted.  You know, especially those riding bicycles.  Those are galvanized bicycles with rocket fuel engines, by gawd, and no damn Russian could steal that bicycle right from under a 400 pound guy that Trump knows.

To be extra secure, and if you really want to outfox the Russians, you can write your message like one of those origami fortune tellers we used to make a camp. The Russians could never figure that out!  Hell, it took Thelma all day to make one and she’s at least as smart as a Russian.

And think about it:  Twitter by Courier should be fun.  Slow, maybe, but fun. You just write something out a piece of paper and pass it around … to everybody. Or, you could use a courier, it’s up to you.

Hey, I need you to loookie here.  Sid Miller is trying to kiss some royal butt to become a cabinet member. He wrote an op-ed that nobody has bothered to re-print in their newspapers so he uploaded it to every conservative site he could find.

It is called, “Donald Trump Has Already Made America Great Again.” Even before he takes office, people! Yeah, because the stock market has “gone wild.”  Yeah like the dump of Lockheed-Martin stock minutes before Trump’s tweet blasting them over the cost on a new Air Force 1.  That’s pretty damn “wild.”

But, that ain’t all ole Sid has got to say.

The focus is now the golden lobby of Trump Tower, the new symbolic representation of power in America: an edifice built by sharp-edged business acumen and cold American cash rather than taxpayer dollars and political pork.

Sid Miller, the Chief Oinker of political pork, is is saying it’s not a good thing. You know, after he wanted taxpayers to pay for his Jesus-shot, brought all his unqualified friends to the public teat, and spent campaign money to travel to a rodeo. Oink, Sid! Let’s throw your butt over a spit.

Oh hell, at least being on the cabinet will get him out of Texas.  I dunno, we seem to have an unending roster of Republican idiots.

Thanks to Epp for the heads up.

I just don’t find this to be real comforting.

Yeah, this is in Russia.

They didn’t get his ducktail combover exactly right and the skin color is a little pale, but it’s him.

Thanks to Bob for the heads up.

In true form in a world where rules and laws don’t apply to him, Cheeto Jesus has decided to keep his private security detail in addition to the Secret Service.  It’s pretty much consensus that having divided security is stupid, and only increases the risks for him and his family.  However, since the laws of physics and common sense don’t apply to CJ, he’ll go his own way.

Maybe the MSM will begin reporting on all these abnormalities, when he closes the White House briefing room and turns it back into a swimming pool for his Miss Teen USA parties.

Chuck Schumer, whose useful time in the Senate has been past for some years, will be the new Minority Leader come January.  And if he gets his way, it will become the near permanent minority.  Though he hasn’t said a lot since his ascension to the position, reports are that he’s planning on cooperating  with Cheeto Jesus.  Apparently, Schumer has been comatose the last 8 years and missed Republicans’ vicious scorched earth strategy to stop every Obama initiative, even violating the provisions in the Constitution to steal a Supreme Court seat.  Working with CJ is not only a stupid strategy, it’s a loser.  It’s a fantasy to be implemented by an insider who’s had his head up his proverbial ass for decades (Sorry, Momma).  He’s doomed to fail, but the party’s too weak and inbred to see it, either.

Schumer is a terrible choice to lead the Senate Dems, living in a persistent fantasy world that legislative success will mysteriously equal protecting seats in 2018.  Only a person who lives in his own echo chamber believes such nonsense.  So, here we go again.  The Dems stupidly crowned Hillary as a  presidential candidate simply because it was “her turn”, resulting in an electoral disaster through simple negligence.  Now they’re going to do exactly the opposite of what the Republicans successfully did to stop President Obama and are actually going to work with the singularly most unqualified president in modern history. Instead of picking a fighter, they picked a deal maker.

God help us.
