Fox News Begins Presidential Candidate Auditions

Fox News has officially opened its company auditions portal for President of the United States. The 2024 cycle presents some unusual circumstances, most specifically the uncertainty of former President Trump’s candidacy.   Since he has continued to remain uncommitted, Fox News has been hesitant to start the auditioning process. But it has emerged that the company now feels it is extremely important to get an early look at potential candidates to see who is best qualified to carry the heavy burden of misinformation if the former president decides not to run.

Always eager to take advantage of opportunity, Senator Ted Cruz wasted little time to be the first to declare his servitude.  Ted Cruz- Always at the Ready to Bend Over

“I was a little surprised at the extent of his groveling,” said company CEO Lachlan Murdoch. “But on the other hand I like the fact that he elbowed his way to the front of the line.  That’s something we hold in high regard and our last guy had that trait in spades.”

Murdoch went on to say that though assertivness is important, at Fox the most prized charactersic is the ability to discern the truth. “Truth is paramount. We look for someone who understands the facts and what is false and is able to tell our viewers which one is best for them to hear,” Murdock stated.

Now that Senator Cruz has auditioned for the Fox endorsement, the company expects a flood of applicants.  It is rumored that  Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green has scheduled an interview and the word is Sean Hannity is enamored with the feisty Georgian.  According to Hannity’s make-up assistant, he likes the fact she is interested in space and laser technology. And it’s no secret Hannity thinks accesorizing with an assault rifle is something more young ladies should consider feminizing with.

And speaking of guns, Fox commentator Laura Inhgraham on the other hand is said to favor Representative Lauren Boebert.  Ingraham feels honest commitment is really important, and you can’t get more committed than Boebert, who lives in Rifle Colorado and encourages open carry in her restaurant, Shooter’s Grill.  And like Ms. Greene, she devotes a large portion of her time on the congressional clock to Qanon studies.

It is believed Tucker Carlson is hopeful Representative Louie Gohmert drops by for an interview.  In Carlson’s opinion, Gohmert’s Texas drawl has a certain charm that appeals to much of America.   There’s no denying that listening to a Louie Gohmert rant can make you wonder if there isn’t a causal connection of sorts between his type of homespun folksiness and something the family might not want revealed in ancestry.com.

Some executives in the hierarchy at Fox think Congressman Matt Gaetz might have the inside track for their coveted endorsement.  They reason that just as the Access Hollywood tape worked for Trump, showing phone tit piks to colleagues on the House floor might give Gaetz’s candicacy a boost.

The dark horse in the endorsement race has to be Congressman Paul Gosar of Arizona.  A couple of members of the polling department at Fox News are seeing data that indicates a rapidly growing development that potentially could push the country in a complety novel direction.  In an effort to “own the libs,” there appears to be a surging movement in the Republican party to migrate from authoritarianism to total governing by incompetence.  One optimistic pollster put it this way: “The deep thinkers of the movement believe it’s time for a legitimate crazy man to run the country. Plus, there will be people who sympathetically vote for Gosar since from all appearances he was the unfortunate victim of some horrible farm accident. It’s kind of a win-win.”

Murdoch said any one of these people would make a great candidate and the company would look forward to manipulating whoever is selected. “I think there is a bench here that’s full of promise,” he said.  He did clarify that with the 2022 midterms on the horizon, the pool of prospects could deepen dramatically.  “I can’t claim to understand how these people got elected,” he said.  “But that’s the point.  They did.  I know some constituents think electing people like this is funny, and some like to push the envelope of credulity, that sort of thing.  But that’s what makes this country great.  It’s full of people who love a good joke as well as mind bending risk.  And boy does it make our job easier.”

 

 

Prolific Number of Death Threats Creates Bountiful Opportunities for Aspiring State and Federal Office Seekers

With death threats being hurled at them from every direction, jittery U.S. elected officials are abandoning re-election plans left and right.  As a result, 2022 is shaping up to be an unprecidented year for ambitious political neophites.  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he’s never seen anything like it.  “It used to be just the Democrats  had to worry about getting shot.  But all of a sudden, threatening phone calls and emails are becoming an every day occurance for Republicans as well.  That is simply unacceptable.”

When congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was recently queried about the increasing amount  of vitriol being leveled at public servants, she had a more optimistic spin on the unusual situation.  “It is public knowelege that I believe the best solution to all our problems is to fire a bullet into Nancy Pelosi’s head.”  She went on to praise her colleague congressman Paul Gosar for stepping up and sharing his video fantasy of beheading Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes on social media. “A beheading fantacy is nice, but I am a bit surprised he  didn’t involve working over her big mouth with a Dremel tool and vice-grips.  After all he is a dentist.”

In Colorado, reporters reached out to Representative Lauren Boebert and asked her opinion about all the threatening derangement.  Conducting the interview at the shooting range in her Rocky Mountain home, she was asked if she thought Gosar’s video was appropriate.  Ms. Boebert replied with a one word answer: “Bullseye!” she said, as reporters bore witness to the 10cm hole in the middle of the image of Dr. Fauci’s face, a favorite paper object Boebert family and friends use to hone their shooting skills.

During a press conference yesterday, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy addressed this roiling subject in conjunction with the confusing House Republican voting record.  Several concerns revolved around the recently passed infrastructure bill. McCarthy was asked why Republicans voted almost unanimously against something the majority of their constituents are begging for.  McCarthy explained that every American has the right to choose not to drive on smoothly paved roads and safe bridges.  He made it abundantly clear he was positive our freedom loving country was fed up with the Democrat’s socialistic agenda of forcing clean water down their throats.

Pressed about seemingly contradictory House censure votes, McCarhty stumbled a bit.  When asked why he thought it was appropriate to strip committe assignments from the 13 Republican representatives who voted for the  overwhelmingly popular infrastucure bill, but refused to censure Gosar for an outrageously offensive and inflammatory video, McCarthy mumbled something about baby carrots and passed the question off to G.O.P. flamethrower Jim Jordan.

“We love Paul Gosar,” Jordan declared.  “We need more patriotic dentists like him running the country.  It’s just like snowflake Democrats to make a big issue out of this beheading business when everyone knows how hard it is to aquire a decent sword nowadays. Who goes out looking for a sword when you can pick up a perfectly machined assault rifle for practically pennies?  We need people like Paul Gosar in our party- people with a provocative imagination who think for themselves as long as they agree with whatever ego enhancing and self serving directive trickles down from our authoritarian leadership. If you are fed up with being told what to do by a horde of bureaucratic Marxists, tired of all the tortuous masking up cruelty, are willing to go the extra mile and forgo a covid vaccination, jeapordizing your own life  and keeping a lethal contageon active out of sheer spite for the current Democratic administration, then you my friend are just what our party is looking for.  Make no mistake.  We have our best people out there making sure these political offices keep opening up, and the 21st century Republican party wants Republican leaders like Paul Gosar filling those positions.  They are the  the driving force behind the Republican Party’s remarkably simple ideology- the stick together or you might get shot platform.  Join us.  It will be a blast.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Study Reveals Millions are Suffering from Long Haul Trump

Mental health experts from several renowned scientific communities have recently issued a colloborative study that indicates long haul Trump could be far more pervasive and debilitating than the regular form of Trump.  Although the typical eitiology of Trump, which includes rampant corruption, inciting insurrection, insidious cronyism and nepotism, indisputable narcissism, unrestrained graft, blatant incompetence, habitual lying, willful disregard of public health and scientific expertise,  moral degeneracy, overt racism, unfettered misogyny, heartless mockery of the handicapped, lawless obstruction, abuse of power, distain of laws and institutions, eschewing responsibilty, and general ignorance of history and the U.S. constitution, as well as many things rooted in reality, is difficult to deal with, it was assumed that as it ran it’s four year course the misery would subside.

Regarding personal symptomology, the study confirmed that long haul Trump is similar to the garden variety of Trump- lethargy, headache, nausea and vomitng, diarrhea, constipation, depression, suicidal thoughts, loss of appetite, polyphagia, anxiety, urinary retention, urinary incontinence, double vision, hemorrhoids, essential tremor, antisocial behavior, and almost anything else that is wrong with you.   However, there are two important symptoms that are much more prevalent in long haul Trump.  First, an overwhelming sense that Trump will never go away, and second, a crushing conviction that American democracy is teetering on the verge of collapse.

We are frustratingly close to both prevention and a cure for Trump in all its forms.  All that is required is for Republican leadership to start telling the truth.  And above all else, why that is not happening is  what is so perplexing about the Trump contageon. What is it about it that transforms the moral spine of intelligent Republican members of congress into a gellatanous mass of sinister pusillanimity?  To the embarrassment of many, there will be a future study that gives us the answer to that question.

 

 

 

 

 

Arizona Republicans to Enlist Services of a Cyborg/Ninja Team for Next Ballot Audit

Undeterred by the disappointing results of their Cyber Ninja audit, it has emerged that Arizona Republicans will now move forward with yet another election audit, and this time they really mean business.  That’s because the person put in charge of this audit is none other than former President Trump’s man for all Four Seasons, Rudy Giuliani.

When contacted by reporters yesterday, Mr. Giuliani seemed extremely confident the people he  has in mind to scrutinze ballots would unfailingly turn up election chicanery.  Although he wouldn’t go into specific details, he did reveal that his audit would be conducted by a team of cyborgs and ninjas with unprecedented experience in meeting out justice.  “I told the Arizona Republicans last time that this is the way to go,” Mr.Giulini stated.  “CyBORGS and ninjas, not Cyber Ninjas.  Well, they got mixed up.  Mistakes happen, like landscape businesses and hotels. That stuff just happens.”

Mr. Giuliani went on to explain how the ninjas, with their extremely quick reflexes and hand-eye coordination will flip through ballots at the speed of light, and cyborgs will use their amazing powers of vision and computer interfacing to sort out anything nefarious.  “There’s no doubt in my mind these guys will find those bamboo ballots.  And you know darn well there’ll be other things, like counterfit things.  What do you suppose the Democrats do with all the leftovers of the babies they eat?  Everyone knows what’s going on in those pizza parlor basements.  It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they’re manufacturing ballots using paper made out of cadaver skin.  And Venezuelan oil!  You can bet those voting machines are loaded with oil from that communist country.  And dead people! You know dead people smell horrible.  If there are votes filled out by dead people a cyborg will pick up on it just like that,” Giuliani said with a self-assured snap of his fingers.

 

                                                   

Giuliani claims a half dozen cyborgs will do the trick.                          A Mr. Chi will supervise all ninjas

Paying it Backward

Sorry but this is a continuation of stuff I bitched about last time.  I have to after seeing this.. Group Manslaughter  . There is nothing acceptable about this. Intractible anti-vaxers and anti-maskers are responsible for this and can just eat shit.  And if you fall into the catagory of vaccine hesitant, I understand your trepidation. It’s completely normal to question things. I am aware shaming you is counter productive.  But for god’s sake what more proof do you want? These vaccines are miraculously effective and safe. And hardly anything in life is without risk.  Every year over 5000 people die in this country choking on food. Armed with this information it would not surprise me at all if a few hard core conspiracy enthusiasts gave up eating.

Every sane person in this country wants to put this virus behind us.  By now it is obvious what is needed to get that done. Specifically it will require having a population that is as close to universally vaccinated as posssible, and wearing masks, testing and contact tracing  whenever needed until that densely vaccinated population is achieved. At this point in time it is mind-boggling that so many people do not understand this, or even worse, understand it and still refuse to participate in this imperative.

Assholes that believe mandatory vaccination or masking are somehow infringements on their liberty  have a very narrow perspective of the concept.  If we all want freedom from this disease, we need a collective effort to enjoy it.  Without it, we will become locked into an ongoing loop of viral mutation.  Disruptions, health concerns and frustration will continue.  In a vary large measure liberty will evade all of us if we stay on this trajectory.

That is no more apparent than what is happening in our hospitals presently.  With the development of the vaccine, we once had the ability to crush covid, at least in this country.  Because so many people decided, for whatever reason, their individual rights were more important than the common good, we are where we are with covid surging again. Historically this nation has been better than this.  The ideal of freedom and liberty that unvaccinated people are bringing into emergency rooms along with their disease I imagine mutates into the very real concepts of carelessness and selfishness in the eyes of hospital staff.  Who can blame them.  A logical but admitedly dysopian step for hospitals to implement would be mandatory vaccine passports for admission.  Screw these unvaccinated people who believe freedom means they have complete access to a hospital bed at the expense of someone else who is more responsible.

If you have been unfortunate enough to observe local school or county board meetings lately, you might have noticed some people seem to believe freedom of speech belongs only to those who can scream the loudest.  Depending on how well controlled the meeting is, it also seems that is not always an incorrect position.  If you are one of those  dip-shits utilizing this technique to futily argue that proven virus mitigation methods are liberty infriging or don’t work, just review what is going on in the nation’s school districts.  Those without masking mandates are reporting far more covid cases, symptomatic infections and quarantines than schools mandating masks.  The lesson is we should listen to health experts, not politicians or conspiracy theorists.

Man’s Impassioned Speach Inspires Neighbors to Secure Famlies and Homes

Senator Ron Johnson to Force a Senate Reading of Every Word Written by Dr. Seuss

As part of his ongoing war to reshape history, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is about to achieve unparalleled stature as the most significant political figure of the modern era to insufferably waste everybody’s time.  When it was revealed six books written by Dr. Seuss would be discontinued over concerns about racial insensitivity, Johnson interpreted the decision to be the result of liberal cancel culture, ignoring the fact that it was a corporate decision  of conscience.  As a personal protest,  it has emerged that he will enlist the skills of two local area third graders to spend an entire day on the Senate floor reading all the published works of Dr. Seuss. 

The staged event follows Johnson’s day long recital of the entire stimulus bill being debated currently in the Senate.  When asked if there was any issue on the horizon that was important enough to prevent him from egregiousy abusing Senate rules, he mentioned he was looking into passing a law requiring all Mr. and Mrs. Potatoheads to be properly reintroduced as such and retrofitted with gender specific accouterments.

 

 

 

IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BEING HELD HOSTAGE?

Honesty, WTF is going on in the Republican Party.  A couple days after the January 6th insurrection at the National Capitol Building, the Republican Minority Leaders of both  legislative houses issued very forceful statements condemning Trump’s involvement . A few days after that, McConnell and McCarthy  both made  political U-turns that figuratively slammed my brain against the side of my skull.  Concusion therapy required some diligent periodical research.  Specifcally I was curious what would drive the Republican heirarchy to forgive a president that committed sedition and insurrection.  If that isn’t impeachable, what is?

Most of the articles I read universally concluded it was all about power, that basically for the Republicans nothing is out of bounds as long as it helps to regain power, and there certainly is power behind 70 million Trump votes. Naturally money and ethical abandonment play a part in such Machiavelian conduct.  But power is what it is all about.

Then I ran across this. Our Domestic Terrorism Problem

These people are bat shit crazy.  Do you suppose a few of these nut jobs got to the people walking the halls of our hallowed government buildings?  Maybe all the threats and destruction that went on the 6th of January actually served their intimidating purpose.  How much of the Republican vacillation and cowardliness is due to fear of losing power as opposed to outright fear of bodily harm?

Consider Lindsey Graham. After Joe Biden was finally declared the winner of the presidential election on November 7th, Graham, the next day, urged the president to fight on and not concede.  The day of the Electorial College count,  January 6th, after the Capitol Building had finally been cleared of insurectionists, he said “enough is enough.”  He basically denounced the “big lie” and said the election was compeltely legitimate.  A couple of days later he was accosted at the DC airport by a dozen Trump supporters calling him a traitor, and a few days later quickly mended fences with Trump, flying with him on Air Force one to Texas and later in the week castigating fellow Republicans for considering Trump’s second impeachment. During that speech he emphasized those who participated in the storming of the Capitol should be punished to the full extent of the law, but mentioned nothing about Trump’s participation.  I suppose without a spine it’s fairly easy to squeeze through tight spaces.

So, scardy çat or ass kisser? Only Lindsey knows,  What is going on in the GOP?  According to Colorado Dem. Jason Crow, in a conversaion with a few of his fellow Representatives, a couple of them broke down crying  fearing for their lives if they voted for impeachemnt.  Some History of Intimidation in Congress. This article also points out how history is repeating itself with regard to racism.

The crazy shit thought?  I guess there’s nothing more intimidating than a ranting psychopath, and especially one of those with a gun.  Brings to mind Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Here is a card carrying QAnon conspiracy theorist who has openly endorsed hate and violence, including the suggestion of a “bullet to the head” of Nancy Pelosi, likes to pose in photos with White Supremacist leaders, and claims California wildfires were ignited by a space lazer controlled by Jewish bankers.  As more and more of her craziness has been revealed, various members of congress are starting to wonder if Minority Leader McCarthy shouldn’t have a word with her and at least consider pulling her from her committee assignments.  This would seem to be a good idea in light of the fact she is slated for the educational committee and in her mind the Parkland and Sandy Hook Shootings were both a staged hoax.  Ya. I know. WTF!

So McCarthy says he will talk to Greene.  But there’s a problem. Trump loves Marjorie Taylor Greene- says she’s a “rising star” in the Republican Party. McCarthy just spent an entire day at Mar-a-lago spit polishing Trump’s ass. Demoting one of Trump’s fellow “birthers” seems fraught with the risk of Trump’s wrath.  Stay tuned.

Well, there you go.  No matter how you try and get around it the commmon denominator to all this chaos in the Republican party is Trump.  Power quest and bullying and intimidation are certainly Trump trademarks.  For reasons difficuilt to fathom, the Trump voting base, ever clinging to his populist, anti establishment mystique that incorporates racism and anti-immigration,  is willing to look beyond his crimes, divisive rhetoric, incompentence, corruption and moral degeneracy.  As far as craziness goes, the average Trump supporter would consider Trump’s narcisistic personality disorder to be a diagonisis leved only by those bent on defaming him.  But there is no escaping his promotion of consipracy theories, a number or which are related to QAnon.  What he did on January 6th was in no way normal and absolutey impeachable.

Trump is the Republican party, still.  He is the power, the intimidation, the crazy.  Continuing to defer to Trump as the de facto leader of the Republican Party  is to risk labeling the party as the Lunatic Party.  Hauntingly, it is the party that elevated to president someone who once bragged he could shoot someone on New York’s 5th Avenue and get away with it, and proven right.  Five people that died in the Capitol Building on 1/6/2021 would be alive today if Donald Trump had not been president.

Homeland Security just issued a Terror Advisory Bulletin that bullet points several threats to national security posed by Domestic Violence Extremists.  Political commentator Nicole Wallace  relevantly called the warning statement the “manifesto” of the Trump militant base. Terrorism Bulletin

The years of condoning all of Trump’s deceit have put the Republican Party in a difficult fix.  Whether it’s sheer embarassment, want of power, or lack of courage, too many  congressional members of that party find themselves unable to do what is right and tell the truth- that widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election was a big lie and President Trump committed acts of insurrection and sedition. That is the only way this country will even begin to heal.  The unity Republican elected officials are demanding Democrats initiate will only be possible after Republicans concede to, and explain to their constituents, the truth.  It’s that basic.

I sympathise if it is true that the threat of physical violence is the reason an elected official chooses to flush courage down the toilet.  But doing the right thing is the critical part of the job. It is so confoudingly perplexing why so many Republicans insist on maintaing fealty to Trump. As more absurd conspiracy theorists carve out  larger niches in the party, more mainstream conservatives will leave.  Over 9,000 Arizona Republicans changed party affiliation after the January 6th riot.  The party deserves someone better.  And it needs someone better. There are plenty of Republican leaders who favor comprehensive immigration reform without Trump’s attatched racism for one thing. If Republicans keep going down their current path of attempting to restrict voting rather than expanding their voting base, it is an absolute forgone conclusion and demographic fact Democrats will strenghtn their grip on power. There can not possibly be a more logical time to cut Trump loose, and If the Republicans can’t figure out a way to do it,  their party might have to confront a 21st century Bull Moose conundrum that will likewise ensure a long string of Democrats in the White House.

Historian Jon Meacham commented a few days ago about abstractive dilemmas past presidents periodically have had to deal with.  He said FDR had to negotiate between capitalists and labor.  Truman and Eisenhower had to confront the extremes of McCarthyism and Communism.  And Biden, of all things, is in the ridiculous position of having to forge his administration through the 21st century’s clouded view of what is fantasy or reality.  That should be a jarring realization of what is happening to our country.

 

 

 

Congressional Republicans All On Board with Fresh Ideology

Citing recent polling numbers and referencing their stunning ability to coalesce into a unified body of pusillanimous sycophants, congressional Republicans have decided to abandon past democratic  concepts like patriotism, honor, freedom and justice and move forward with what they consider to be the more progressively simple and pragmatic ideology of corruption.  When Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was asked if he was concerned about labeling his entire political party with such a customarily  defamatory term, he responded by pointing out corruption is just what Republican polling numbers seem to indicate the country wants.  “Our president, if nothing else, is consistently corrupt.  You have to admire that, and we have taken notice how well he is received publicly.  We have decided it just makes sense to accept the will of the people and tell it like it is.  Our party appreciates all President Trump has done for the country, and if he dabbles here and there in corruption, well that’s certainly ok with us if it gets the job done.”

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) took exception to Senator Graham’s statement.  “I’m not sure “dabbling” in corruption is how I would describe it.  I mean the country hasn’t seen this kind of corruption since Harding and the Teapot Dome scandal.  Just look at all the cabinet members that have had to resign for improper conduct. You’ve got, Flynn, Price , Pruitt, Zenke, Shulkin, Acosta, I mean what more do you want.   Let’s face it.  The president, when it comes to corruption,  really knows how to pick the best.”

But Congressman Kevin McCarthy  (R-CA) was not sure that was fair to the president.  “Sure all those people resigned, but that doesn’t take into account all the graft going on in the cabinet right now.  There’s Wilber Ross who’s involved hand over fist with insider trading, and Mnuchin and Betsy DeVos are smothered in conflict of interest violations.  And how about Ben Carson?  Not only did he stiff the government for fancy office furniture, he managed to stuff his family’s pockets with department access. And I have to put in a good word for Mitch McConnell. Taking advantage of his wife’s cabinet position to bring federal bacon to his home state was a stroke of financial and political genius that just takes your breath away.  So, I think it’s important to see the whole picture.  Just sayin'”.

When Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was asked if he had any qualms about the new direction of his party, he had this to say. ” Look, the people of this country aren’t stupid.  They know corruption when they see it.  It’s obvious that’s what they want, and by god the Republican party is perfectly positioned to give it to them.  But you should remember.  Corruption is not so much what you do for others.  It’s what you do for yourself. I mean you should be able to take a dip in the swamp too, right?   Look at what the president did just last month.  He doubled the rates at his Doral resort ahead of his visit to address the RNC. He’s always doing stuff like that- billeting military personnel at his resort, bilking the government with inflated charges for secret service protection at his hotels, using his office to get free publicity for his properties.   I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone more capable of spotting avaricious opportunity. It’s amazing.  Not only are his hotel room rates overpriced,  but it’s where all those foreigners like to stay just to make him happy, so he’s got to be overjoyed making all that dough and screwing foreigners at the same time.  The guy truly is a “stable genius” when it comes to corruption. America can count on this president, and trust me when I say Republicans in Congress are listening to your concerns about corruption. With the experience and help of our great president, you can rest assured we are doing everything possible to make sure we learn how to do it right.”

Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) said he has always been impressed with the resourfulness of Trump family members.   “I think it’s important people realize just how well the president takes care of his family.  How grateful they must be to have a father with such extensive experience with corruption.   Jared and Ivanka wasted little time taking advantage of the Oportunity Zone program and you sure don’t notice any tarriffs on anything Ivanka makes.  There are so many examples of nepotistic favoritism it’s really easy to forget all that this family has accomplished.  Right out of the gate there was the nepotism thing that saved his son in law from bankruptcy. Qatar buys Jared’s billion dollar Manhattan money-pit and the president tells the Arab states involved in a Qatar blockade to back off.  You gotta believe the president’s favorite movie is “The Godfather'” right?  Speaking of that, did the job search for a compliant AG pay off or what?  With Barr in the bag, you’ve got a commander- in-chief with the infallibility power of the pope.”

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) stressed the importance of party unity and she said she was looking forward to the next nine months. “Now that we are all on the same page with this corruption incentive, I think it’s safe to say we are poised to significantly change the course of the country.  Sure we have work to do.  There are still people out there that don’t believe it’s ok to direct a lawyer to pay $280,000 in hush money to cover up extramarital affairs, or influence the investigation of a presidential campaign, or invite foreign government interference in our elections, or ridicule a physically disabled person, to harass the chairman of the Federal Reserve or denigrate a war hero and Gold Star family, divert money from a charity fouindaion for personal use, and undermine basic democratic institutions like our jury systemn and inteligence departments.  I know some people just can’t let go of the idea the president is always lying, like when he reneged on campaign promises to release his tax returns and get Mexico to pay for a border wall, but that’s what regular people love about the guy.  Everyone knows lying and ignoring the truth are how he gets things done.  It can be crucial when you want to do something like make the planet we live on less livable. In time, all those people who consider his racist, mysogynitic, homophobic and religiously hypocritical comments and policies abhorrent will realize it’s just his way of getting the country on the right track. President Trump is the perfect man for our times.”

Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) said he has always been impressed by the president’s ability to distract attention from one egregious action with another. “He keeps America ahead of the curve with all the flummoxing.  It took people a little bit of time to accept all the corruption, but after awhile it just became normal. That is no small feat.  I mean even the members of congress were a little sceptical at first.  We didn’t think anything like the corruption dreamworld the president has pulled off was remotley possible.  Of course we are certainly grateful.  But think of all the possibilities now with an attorney general ready to sign off on any whim the president conjures up.  Who doesn’t want to get in on that!  You sure don’t want to tick him off now.  The country wants a leader who can create real change.  Our archaic laws and institutions are outdated.  Some of them are over 200 years old for Pete’s sake, and they just aren’t working out for our president.  How can you expect him to make America great again if he can’t do anything he wants!  The  Republican party has the right idea embracing corruption and can see the advantages of encouraging the president to keep moving forward with his unique vision of democracy. It’s improtant to  make sure our leader is equipped with the necessary tools to complete his utopia. The people now understand that when you are president of the United States,  you just can’t have people criticizing what you do. We won’t get anywhere doing that.   He knows what’s fair and who to lock up.  The way the president pulled off the acquittal over the Ukraine scandal was impressive you have to admit.  Lot’s of big time players involved in that loop, right?  You got a VP, a secretary of state, an attorney general, a secretary of energy. It just doesn’t get any better than that.  Move over Harding!  You might not get all of us to agree the president made a perfect phone call but I know we all agree it’s pretty close to perfect when you all stick together in the name of corruption.”

 

 

 

Trump Confident His Christian Values Will Inspire Others

Fresh off the roaring success of his address to the attendees of the March for Life protest at the National Mall last month, it has emerged President Trump is exploring the possibility of expanding his outreach to any religiously affiliated group interested in receiving the enlightenment of his rich, moral conviction.  Presidential aides have recently contacted a number of Catholic organizations and evangelical leaders to gauge their interest in hearing the president speak about any of his deeply held spiritual beliefs.  Presidential aides are promoting a varied menu of topics to consider, like “The Sanctity of Marriage,” and “Do Unto Others- The Importance of Mutual Respect and Humility in Our Daily Lives.”

Spokesperson Kellyanne Conway mentioned a joint family venture is in the works.  “America is naturally interested in knowing more about the president’s well documented concern for the underprivileged  and the impact this admirable attribute has had on his children,” Ms. Conway stated.  She went on to mention Ivanka and Donald Jr. had just recently conferenced with a council of U.S. Catholic bishops and were very pleased with the enthusiastic response they received for a project they call “Giving Back: Tips on Conducting a Charitable Foundation.”

“Religious communities across the county have embraced President Trump because they all know what a righteous and caring person he is,” Ms. Conway explained. “His profound faith guides his every action and his grace is on display every day.  If people want an example of how to live a rewarding Christian life, look no further than the god-fearing man occupying the White House”.

Let’s Make a Deal

 

Holes in the Ground Causing Mass Confusion Among Congressional Republicans- Explosive Situation Fomenting

As accumulating evidence keeps shattering President Trump’s arguments against impeachment  one after another, a mystifying phenomenon is becoming alarmingly apparent- congressional Republicans have somehow lost the ability to locate their asses.  Curiously, the anomaly is attributed to a somewhat bazaar reflexive response to seeing a hole in the ground.  “It’s just weird,” one reporter stated.  “Republicans exit a building and if they come across a hole in the ground, they just stand there all tensed up staring at it, often swirling a piece of paper in it for some reason.  I’ve never seen anything like it.”

When Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff saw Republican Devin Nunes locked in a  paralytic fixation with a hole in the ground, he said he did his best to reach out to him.  “I said Devin, quit staring at that hole in the ground.  That is not your ass!  Your ass is right behind you. Just reach around with your hands and you’ll find it. Deep down you know you can do this!” After several minutes of futile instruction, Schiff said he threw up his hands and went to lunch.

One reporter said he became so concerned about Lindsey Graham he gave serious consideration to calling emergency health services  “There was Lindsey, poking a stick in and out of a hole in the ground, and he wouldn’t even make the slightest attempt to find his ass.  Not only did he refuse to believe any of my information, he said the hole he was prodding with that stick was working out just fine, and to fuck off because he wasn’t about to listen to anything I had to say anyway.   Jesus I was only trying to be helpful.”

Longtime observers of Capital Hill affairs commented that the strange behavior is not at all unprecedented.  According to them however, what is unusual is that it has so completely overwhelmed one political party.  Many experienced people have expressed a fear that the resulting obstruction amongst so many Republicans not being able to distinguish their ass from a hole in the ground will precipitate an explosive situation.

“I don’t know about explosions,” said congressional record clerk Robert Noteman, “but I don’t advise lingering anywhere near a Republican caucus room right now.  It can really stink in there.”

And everyone, enjoy this holiday.  I know President Trump issued a stern warning that there are liberal subversives roaming about with nothing better to do than insist on changing the name of today’s holiday from Thanksgiving to…Actually I don’t know, and the president doesn’t know,  because typically enough Trump only told this blatant lie to stir up the people he was speaking to at a political rally.  But rest assured there is no problem here.  If you are one of Trump’s true believers, you know,  just as he did with Christmas, saving holidays is in his wheelhouse and seems to be a thing you should be thankful for.  And for the rest of us, we perfectly understand this man does not know his ass from a hole in the ground.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
