When His Lips are Moving
Time magazine interviewed Cheeto Jesus yesterday and questioned him about lies and lying. Like Sarah Palin, when caught in a lie, CJ engages in word salad; in this interview, he went to the Defcon 4 of word salad. Here is the textbook example, when answering a question about him continually calling the credibility of the intelligence community into question:
“I’m not saying—no, I’m not blaming. First of all, I put Mike Pompeo in. I put Senator Dan Coats in. These are great people. I think they are great people and they are going to, I have a lot of confidence in them. So hopefully things will straighten out. But I inherited a mess, I inherited a mess in so many ways. I inherited a mess in the Middle East, and a mess with North Korea, I inherited a mess with jobs, despite the statistics, you know, my statistics are even better, but they are not the real statistics because you have millions of people that can’t get a job, ok. And I inherited a mess on trade. I mean we have many, you can go up and down the ladder. But that’s the story. Hey look, in the mean time, I guess, I can’t be doing so badly, because I’m president, and you’re not. You know. Say hello to everybody OK?”
I’ll just leave this right here.
No actually America was going fairly OK before November 8th, 2016. We were hated in a couple of places, but every country on earth knew who we were and where we stood and what we stood for.
Now, the world can’t help but snicker at and disregard our goofball in chief and slowly other Americans on the world stage will begin to see disregard for themselves and their work. That won’t take 4 years. And it will take more than 4 years to repair.
I just read a crawl on CNBC or MSNBC that said uneducated, ignorant “middle-class” folk die at a higher rate than their educated smarter brethren. “Not fast enough to do any good” was my first thought. And my current position as well. Let me hold your beer, you guys pile in the pickup and show me that trick again. All of you. I won’t believe it unless I see it myownself.
1Micr, you speak truth. But having agreed, if ignorance kills why isn’t that hoofwanking cockwomble keeling over from something? Anything!!! His delusional spewing of disconnected words has made him a prime candidate for a straight jacket. If he weren’t – ugh – president, he’d have been butterfly netted long ere since. At least our allies make fun of him. And I hope he see each and every dig cause some are great. And that’s what cockwomble can’t stand most being laughed at. In his sick, irrational mind he’s god junior and what he says or does is always perfect. But in reality he’s trash, money or not. I don’t think he’s wealthy at all. Truely wealthy people do not need to keep finding ways to make quick money as he’s always doing.
2“I put all these great people in place so hopefully things will straighten out. All the illegal things I did will be covered up by these great people, they’ll stop all the investigations and they will tell everyone I’m stupendous and you all can stop pretending I’m not the most corrupt, treasonous conman who should be in prison.”
3My money’s on glf!
4One step away from speaking in tongues.
Which might actually be an improvement.
5The rudest awakening for me: millions of Americans voted for Trump because he was an idiot, not despite him being an idiot. Trump is doing exactly what his millions of supporters want him to do. None of the current sh*t-circus is on Trump, it’s on us for installing him and our system (where less votes = a win).
Late stage empires always collapse from within. Welcome to the collapse.
6Okay, if we opened up his head, what would we see? I’m guessing a big mostly vacant space with a lot of cobwebs, and a very tangled bunch of cords in the middle of the floor, like a telephone exchange gone bad, and a bunch of baboons poking at it and ooking and sticking random parts together and then pulling them apart. Any other ideas?

“… if ignorance kills why isn’t that hoofwanking cockwomble keeling over from something?”
If ignorance only killed the ignorant, it might actually wipe itself out eventually. What self-respecting virus is going to do that with so many societies left to infest?
Rhea @7:
An empty unlit chamber housing an evil gnome who sits in a corner gnawing on his outrage at every time he’s ever been told “No.” He’s heard muttering “You’ll pay. You’ll ALL pay …”

Yes a number of us here at the salon share your revelation. Many to most of Drumpf’s base seem to not think well themselves and worse, seem to prize lack of academic success in their candidates.
Of course I hope your collapse assessment is wrong, but I suspect many have the thought, they simply don’t give it a voice.
9That’s one of the most bizarre messes of blather to drool out of Orange Whore’s mouth yet. He really thinks he has “great words, the best words.” The only other place where I see his level of true insanity is the downtown McDonald’s in Minneapolis. The homeless people with diagnosed mental illnesses come and talk to invisible people or their food. That doesn’t bother me because I know they’re doing their best to live in the world as they inhabit it. They make just as much sense as Orange Whore.
Really. No hyperbole. Orange Whore is just as messed up as they are.
10“City Pages” is a highly irreverent, often profane, free city weekly in Minneapolis. They have decided to go ahead and cast the inevitable “Russiagate” movie. I like some choices, others not so much. Charlie Sheen as Orange Whore. Biggest disappointments? Melissa McCarthy is Not Sean Sphincter and Rosie O’Donnell is Not bannon. Details are here:

12I LOVE this! Consider it stolen, with attribution! As in, describe the typical Drumpf supporter out in hinterlands, “an evil gnome who sits in a corner gnawing on his outrage at every time he’s ever been told “No”. He’s heard muttering “You’ll pay. You’ll ALL pay …””
@Micr
13Thanx. Catch you around …
“I’m president and you’re not”? By the jumping Jesus, I think the last time I heard something like that, I was in third grade.
14Remember Trump is 70. Or at least we’ve heard it said.
