You know the difference between a pun and a politician? A pun is a shift of wit. A politician is a whift of …. Know the difference between Republicans and Democrats? If Democrats smell shit they take steps to remove the source. Republicans wear nose plugs and ignore the stink.
When evidence of corruption against a Democrat becomes overwheming, party leaders start insisting the miscreant resign. Even though losing congressional members would jeopardize majorities in both bodies of congress, Democratic peers are asking for Senator Bob Menendez (D New Jersey) and Representaive Henry Cuellar (D Texas) to resign. And now thrown in Mayor Eric Adams (D New York City). But Republicans of every stripe just can’t get enough of the stench emitted by a convicted fellon and sex offender, not to mention Trump’s Egyptian jobbery that is just as egregious as that of those three Democrats. Business as Usual . Inhale Trump fumes long enough you become desensitized to the point that offense becomes fragrance, so enrapturing you consent to his every demand or whim. That includes over extending your credit card limit to purchase whatever shiney object he dangles before you. And the selection of items is extensive, so much so one wonders if there can possibly be anything else left in the grifting market to effectively entice his patrons to part with whatever remains in their checking account. And the latest item Trump is hawking is surely to do just that- a $100,000 watch. R U kidding me?
To all the MAGA people out there I have a feeling as much as you adore Trump you’re not willing to take out a loan just to note the time of day with a $100K watch. But you’re probably hoping there might be something else he could come up with that would be more within the parameters of your contribution comfort zone. Well boy are you in luck! Trump has something really special he says has necessitated earnest stockpiling, but will finally be officially released today. Check it out.

And while I have your attention, if I might have a word with anyone intending to attend a future MAGA rally. Whenever Trump is up on stage congratulating himself for eliminating the estate tax and instituting preferential treatment for capital gains, for god’s sake don’t applaud and do the hootin’ and hollerin’ thing for that. FYI- that is red meat for the base he genuinely cares about- millionairs and billionairs. Actually they’re the ones Trump is playing with his $100K watch. He hopes regular rich ass kissers will be dumb enough to buy one and show it off in front of him as a way of expressing dutifull appreciation for all he has done for them, and greasing him for a future favor. ( god forbid he is elected). For Pete sakes you don’t have 5 million dollars that would qualify for the estate tax. And there won’t be many at the rally except those traveling with Trump who regularly use capital gains for tax computation. Those people are playing polo and cruising around the Bahamas on their yachts. If you keep applauding shit like this you are effectivly giving him the green light to fuck you over at tax time. (Again- god forbid he should be elected). Less taxes for the rich, more taxes and less services for you, and more importantly, me. Come on man! Pull your head out of your ass.
