Time revealed its Person of the Year cover this morning, of course naming Cheeto Jesus to the title. What was brilliant, though, is their strategic placing of devil’s horns on him. Have a look:
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
When I stop laughing . . .!
1He looks like he has hemorrhoids.
2I don’t know, Jefe, I think you may be reaching a bit here. Those guys ain’t that clever.
3So he’s right up there with Hitler (1938), Stalin (1939, 1942), Nixon (1971, & 1972 with Kissinger), the Ayatollah Khomeini (1979), Newt Gingrich (1995), Ken Starr (with Bill Clinton 1998), and his buddy Vladimir (2007). Such an honor.
4Couldn’t happen to more deserving guy. And the “Divided States of America” couldn’t be more apt. Of course, he denies any responsibility for the divisiveness. Does he think all those generals in his cabinet will scare us into submission? Think again, Drumpf.
5Time didn’t place those horns there. They’ve been on his head all along.
6Right now, I’m watching a program about Hitler’s personal life. The parallels go far deeper than public persona and bigotry:
1] Early in his reign, he put on an act for the Germans. Everything was for show. He NEEDED the adulation of the throngs. Sound familiar?
2] He loved Hollywood and watched westerns virtually every day.
3] Very early on, a man who complained because his photography studio was demolished so Hitler could enlarge his mansion got sent to Dachau. [Watch out, American comedians. Trump WILL come for you, just wait.]
4] Hitler wanted to decorate his mansion in a kitchy, glitzy style but he allowed his decorator [the only person who was allowed to disagree with him about anything] to dissuade him. Um — have you seen the interior of Trump’s apartment? Next to it, Versailles looks dull.
And I’m currently 19 minutes into an hour-long program.
The saving grace, for us, is the fact that Trump is lazy. That’s something you couldn’t say about Hitler. Of course, because Trump is lazy, we’re really getting President Select Pence. Heaven help us.
7Will the Orange Prince abdicate to the Snake Pence?
8I was going to comment, but Rhea definitely has it covered.
9That’s nice. And on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is Melania! Got it covered! (Well, just barely for Mel.) *wink*
10The Trumpenführer has it all wrong. Alec Baldwin’s takeoff is the ONLY thing funny about him.
11Love your new name for Drumpf, UmptyDump: Trumpenfuhrer.
12(How do you do the umlaut dots over the u?)
Heil NO! mein Fübar
13@maryelle – Discovered I posted to the wrong article! On an iPhone or iPad, hold down the “u” and a submenu will open up with accents and umlauts and stuff. Slide your finger over there and release. On a Mac, look for the keyboard icon in the menu bar. Been so long since I’ve used Windows, I’ve forgotten.
14Trumpenfüher. On my tablet I hold down on the “u” and several options appear – ú ù û ų ű ů ū ü There’s a name for those things but I don’t recall it.
15The more I look at him, the more I wonder how a man with a perpetual scowl like that could ever create a sense of optimism that he could “make America great again.”
16I’ve gotten through half the latest tome on the Romanovs — Umpty Dump is a lot like them.
17Sometime in the 1930s Time featured Hitler as “The Man of the Year”. It is not necessarily a compliment.
18TwoCrows – what is the program and where can I watch it?

20Someone on a site I’ll keep nameless pointed out that the chair is either a good distressed replica or the original from an auction of one the Duke of Windsor owned. You know, the fascist supporter who abdicated the throne “for the woman he loved” and giving England the gift of a much abler king in his place. Just sayin’, the subliminal stuff in that picture doesn’t stop with the carefully placed “M.”
21Anybody else remember the right-wingers losing their s__t a few years back, because of the “horns” appearing above one of the Clintons on a “Time” cover? The conservatives saw it as nothing less than a warning from Jesus himself, that the Clintons were sent from the depths of hell to take everybody’s guns and wreck the country.
I never thought I’d be remembering such things as The Good Old Days, but here we are…..
22His digs in Trump Tower? Hey,have any of you seen the pix of the lobby of the Old Post Office in D.C. made over into a Trump Hotel? Nobody can figure out what the hell went on between the designer and CJ! It is gawd awful and the way over-priced rooms are just as bad!
23Warpster, thank you from the bottom of my snarky little heart, I couldn’t “see” the horns until you pointed it out and now I will never unsee it.
24@ 1smartcanerican:
It’s on the American History Channel. The program is a 6 part series. Title is “Hitler.” Here, it’s at 10 PM on Tuesdays.
The similarities are uncanny. I wonder how one creates a nickname combining ‘Hitler’ and ‘thin skin.’ “ThinSkintler” could work, I suppose.
Other ideas?
25I wonder if CJ too is afraid of cats, as was Hitler.
Accent codes on the iMac – Option+U, and then the vowel.
