The King of Petty

December 12, 2019 By: El Jefe Category: Trump

Trump flew into a rage this morning after Greta Thunberg, the 16 year old climate activist, was named Person of the Year by Time Magazine.  He then attacked her on Twitter causing an even greater backlash.

As if that were bad enough, the Team Trump showed up to get even more petty.  They tweeted out the Time cover with Trump’s face photoshopped onto Thunberg’s body:

To make it worse, they posted the picture with 4 lies:

  • Booming Economy (It’s not)
  • Record Job Creation (Wrong)
  • Historic Tax Cuts (That are causing record deficits and slashes to fundamental programs)
  • #AmericaFirst Trade Deals (Not Really.  And causing the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs)
  • ISIS Destroyed (Not hardly)
  • Building the Wall (Not really, and stealing money from the military in the process)

There’s no stunt too silly, no insult too low, no pettiness more petty than from Trump.

 

Piled Higher and Deeper…

In a court filing yesterday, the US Attorney prosecuting Giuliani associate Lev Parnas claimed that he was being paid by the Russians, too, and that he was hiding the money in his wife’s name.  He received  a cool $1 million from them in September.  They have asked the judge to revoke Parnas’ bail and jail him.

More manure on the giant Trump manure pile.

Trump to Be Impeached

Nancy Pelosi and the chairs of the House committees that investigated are now announcing two articles of impeachment against Trump.  One is for abuse of power in extorting Ukraine, and the second for obstruction of Congress.

More later.

Trump Using War Criminals for Fundraising

December 08, 2019 By: El Jefe Category: 2020 Election, Trump

Last night at a secretive fundraiser in Florida, Trump brought onstage two war criminals. They were former US Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance and former US Army Maj. Mathew Golsteyn.  Both had been given clemency by Trump last month.  One was convicted of ordering the murder of 3 unarmed Afghans, and the other charged with murdering an unarmed Afghan.  The fundraiser netted $3.5 million.  One attendee noted that Trump “was in rare form” and “hilarious”.

Yes.  Nothing is more “hilarious” than honoring murdering war criminals.

 

Friday’s Word Salad

December 07, 2019 By: El Jefe Category: Trump

Trump went on one of his now famous word salad rants yesterday, blaming light bulbs for his orange spray tan, then moving on to indecipherable complaining about showers, sinks, and low water flush toilets, and then somehow tying all that to the steel industry.

Here is the entire riff, word for word.  See if you can figure it out.

“The light bulb — they got rid of the light bulb that people got used to. The new bulb is many times more expensive and — I hate to say it — it doesn’t make you look as good. Of course, being a vain person, that’s very important to me. It’s like — it gives you an orange look. I don’t want an orange look. Has anyone noticed that? So we’ll have to change those bulbs in at least a couple rooms where I am in the White House. … We have a situation where we’re looking very strongly at sinks and showers. And other elements of bathrooms — where you turn the faucet on, in areas where there’s tremendous amounts of water, where the water rushes out to sea because you could never handle it — and you don’t get any water. You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out, just dripping out, very quietly, dripping out.People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once. They end up using more water. So EPA is looking at that very strongly, at my suggestion. You go into a new building, or a new house or a new home, and they have standards where you don’t get water. You can’t wash your hands practically, so little water comes out of the faucet. And the end result is you leave the faucet on and it takes you much longer to wash your hands. .. For the most part. you have many states where they have so much water, it comes down — it’s called rain. They don’t know what to do with it. … A lot of things we do are based on common sense. If I didn’t get elected you wouldn’t have a steel industry. … We weren’t going to have a steel industry.”

Turn About is Fair Play, Right?

November 27, 2019 By: El Jefe Category: Trump

In one of his now well known narcissistic fits last night at his rally in Florida, Trump curiously boasted about his “gorgeous chest”, which is anything but.  Even more curiously, this morning he tweeted out a photoshopped pic of the character Rocky Balboa with his head on it.  Hold your nose, here it is:

Of course, we all know he actually looks like this:

So, turn about is fair play, yes?

 

Right?
