In case you are not aware, maybe you like to disassociate yourself from the abuse of political hate mongering on this day that is traditionally considered to be one of our holiest, a day for peace and joy and football, the president of the United States has sent all of us a Truth Social Merry Christmas wish.  That’s right.  All of us.  Even, as his post continued, the radical left scum.  Appropriate for the season, I guess he is in forgiving mode, despite some confusion.  I mean he is wishing radical left scum a Merry Christmas.  That’s kind of nice of him, in that it is a wish for a merry Christmas, even though he thinks the nation is harboring some people who are scum and it is the domain of the radical left.  I don’t consider myself to be radical, and really, I think you would have to label me centrist, maybe even centrist right.  In theory I guess I am not included in the scum category.  So, also nice.  But I am also pretty sure he would not like me if he met me,  because I think he is a loudmouth degenerate prick.

That’s for starters.  To me there seems to be something wrong with him up in the old bell tower.  He is old.  He does tend to nod off right in the middle of meetings and such.  But hell, I’m just a year younger than he is and will admit I am a fitful sleeper, but if I was still working I am pretty sure if my job required I pay attention to proceedings I could at least accomplish that.  It’s the disjointed rantings that are the big reveal as far as I am concerned.  Whether it happens during his rally blovations or social media tirades, that stuff is just not normal.  Especially for someone who is supposed to be the leader of the nation.  So much of it is outright bullshit,  insulting and racial disparagement, or just plain crazy nonsense.

OK.  There’s more.  He has turned the Oval Office into a money making machine for him and his family.  Pay to play should be incorporated into his official presidential seal.  Jesus Christ I can’t believe all the grifting.  All the tacky shit he hawks, the political fund scams, presidential pardons for donors, emoluments violations left and right, including a half billion dollar “gift” from the Saudis that is actually nothing more than a vailed bribe and will cost American taxpayers a billion dollars to securely retrofit.  And don’t get me started on crypto.  That stuff has easily vaulted him into the league of multi-billionaires, and perfectly so for a grifting self centered narcicist- through a currency transaction system rank with money laundering, cybercrime, proliferate scams that is highly volatile and can very well  provide investors with nothing but significant finacial ruin.  He has already taken advantage of people with his meme coins. As the issuer, he can’t lose, but many unfortunate purchasers have taken it in the shorts.

It’s all about him, it will always be all about him and sadly congresss is willing to grant him his all.  What’s worse, he has managed to eliminate most of the combersome oversight of his scheming ambitions.  Government inspectors general have been eliminated or replaced with loyalists. And many of his cronies and cabinet members are extremely happy  scooping up the spoils he generously rewards them with for that loyalty.

And now he can’t seem to get enough of blowing shit up or conducting demolition parties.  Goodbye East Wing and the Lincoln suite bathroom.  Hello gaudy White House gold medalions and embelishments that jolt the eyeballs.  Paradoxily, he can not restrain himself from plastering his name on anything in his field of vision, conduct much like many members of the animal kingdom performing ritualistic urine marking.  WTF!

A lot of this seems to be machinations to keep everyone distracted from the looming fallout of the Epstein files.  To keep pushing his justice department cronies to stonewall the file’s release as much as it has surley indicates there is something far worse for Trump embeded within them than the criticism endured for stalling.   Will we ever get to see the totality of the material?  Will there be a very opportunistic explosion leveling the building that houses the documents?  Was Epstein murdered?

Who knows at this point.  Trump is one lucky son of a bitch.  His repulsive narcissistic, amoral, racial, misgynisitc conduct somehow does not bother much of American society.  I have never understood that.  Because he is rich and powerful, he has escaped legal consequences for his actions, a product of our two tiered judicial system of due prosess  that favors those with means and is denied the less fortunate.  There is rumoring among congressional members heavily involved in the Epstein drama suggesting it will bring the ultimate end to Trumpism.  I’ll believe it when I see it.

Remember, merry is just another word for shit-faced, and staying merry has propelled us   through the Trump administrations.  So Merry Christmas to all, especailly to my fellow scum dwellers, and hopeful dreams of returning sanity in the coming year.

The family of House Speaker Mike Johnson requested a wellness check yesterday over concerns about the speaker’s recent reclusiveness.  It  has emerged that the speaker has not left the house for seven weeks, and for the past five days has locked himself in a basement room of his residence.

One of the responding police officers, Sergeant Doug Wilson, said that the family informed him that as time elapsed during his self-imposed congressional recess, the speaker became more and more depressed until it reached the point when he raided the residence pantry of canned food items and locked himself in the basement mother-in-law suite.

Information gathered from the family members revealed the pivotal cause of Mr. Johnson’s distress is his psychological conflict over the Epstein files.  As a deeply religious man, he feels he has a moral duty to do everything in his power to secure the file’s release.  On the other hand, crushing political pressure bears down on him to do otherwise.  Mr. Johnson’s 38 year old adopted son Junior put it this way.  “He knows the right thing to do is get the files out there.  He openly stated several times he has an obligation to  do that.  Then when it became public knowledge that Trump was extensively involved in the mess, the politcal pressure was so intense he not only made a conscious decision to go along with a cover up, but he became the unwitting commander of an unholy alliance protecting pedophiles.  And it’s killing him.”

Junior is particularly close to the speaker.  The two of them have made a pact to inform each other whenever they are tempted to succumb to the enticement of pornography, using computer software that enables rapid notification. Newsweek Nov 6 2023:

Junior says he rushed over to his parents house after his anti-pornography feature lost contact with his father’s.  When at the home, he had to speak through the locked door of the mother-in-law suite.  “My father was weeping and telling me he had let me down.  He was obviously emotionally conflicted, saying he was afraid he was traveling the road to hell by abandoning the Lord and serving a false prophet.  I could tell his mind had been visited by wicked demons,” Junior said.  “That’s when we decided to call the police.”

The police involvement initiated a panic attack from the speaker that escalated into screaming hysterics, but after the police and Junior calmed him down and he assured everyone he was alright, he unlocked the door and the police left.  Family members also adjourned to the upper level of the home leaving Junior alone to console his father.

Junior said that the two of them talked briefly about the president, reporting that his father was specifically interested to know if his son agreed with the surging population who think they have been duped by a dividian leader possessing  demonic powers and who’s soul is a moral wasteland.   Junior, who runs a marijuana business and dabbles in cryptocurrency, thought it best to mollify the situation by reminding the speaker of all the good that could result if he should happen to get some inside information about the looming plans the president has for federal stablecoins.  Junior said that made his dad feel a lot better, and he is ready to convene congress and continue the work of his lord.

When reporters at yesterday’s  press conference began inquiring about the president’s detachment during the recent Oval Office meeting with pharmacuetical executives, Steven Miller became irrate.

Press corps members expressed concern about Trump’s comportment during last weeks Oval Office conference where an attendee suddenly collapsed

“The man was laying dead on the floor and you guys don’t notice the president’s deep state of meditation?  You act like he was standing there with his thumbs up his ass.  He saved the man’s life!”  Miller said as he stormed out of the room, leaving Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to provide clarification.

“Yes, yes of course,” Leavitt deftly responded, and proceded to switch her lips into rapid-fire mode.  Pouty Lips Hire   “As you well know the president possesses mystical powers incomprehensible to the rest of us.  That man was dead on the floor and thanks to the president’s quick thinking and impromtu telapathic response, he was able to transmit  life saving rays of devine resuscitative matter into that poor man that fortunately pulled him from the brink of death.”  After a short pause that gave the members of the press time for apologetic reflection, Ms. Leavitt said the incident should make clear to everyone  how the president always considers the needs of others before his.

Ms. Leavitt also reminded everyone that whenever the president appears to be snoozing he is merely regenerating his messianic powers.  

Fresh off finding out he has solved America’s health care crisis with his ingenious Medbed card, Straight from our Big Brother’s Ministry of Plenty    President Trump was absolutely elated to see he ended the wars in Gaza and Ukraine overnight.  Taking a cue from his sister in law Lara,  Don Junior relayed the good news on Trump’s Truth Social network.  Not to be outdone, this morning Eric Trump had his own posting on Truth Social,  informing  his father that he has just crushed the nations nagging inflation numbers with his construction of  a nation-wide chain of grocery stores called Goodgrub, all stocked with typical supermaket items priced at 1970 levels.  When asked to comment on his remarkable achievements, Trump said it was nice to see his family’s involvement in announcing his incredible accomplishments, and was quick to point out the Medbed card would be the end of Obamacare, and he had now fulfilled two of his most pivotal second administration campaign promises.   “The corrupt communist Democrats said I would never end those wars and lower grocery prices, but I’d say they look pretty foolish now, wouldn’t you?”

It has emerged that the supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, has executed nearly every member of the country’s Central Committee.  A spokesman and interpreter, Hu Flung Poo,  stated the supreme leader became incensed after he viewed a video of President Trump’s cabinet meeting this week.  “Basically it amounted to an out of control jealous raging,” Hu said.  “He had never seen so much ingratiating groveling and was stunned  at the degree of extravagant servitude Trump’s cabinet members embalmed him with.   He was particularly impressed, but paradoxically  enraged, over the excelleration of praise heaped upon the president with each successive speaker. It seems the more he thought about the lavish devotion of Trump’s toadies,  his chagrin spiraled into feelings of envious resentment and anger at his party confidants he has surrounding him, considering the group a disastrous failure in comparison.”  Hu went on to say that  Kim Jong Un is absolutley intolerant of any perception that he is not the most magnificent leader of all time, and advisors not fullfilling this demand are historically doomed to a savage demise.

“It seems to me the consideration of insufficient praise as an unforgivable offense is something both of these leaders have in common.” Hu said. “Of course unlike North Korea’s government,  America’s form of democracy will always prevent petty obsessions of  retribution from getting out of hand.  Right?”

After insisting  that the GOP controlled Texas legislature institute a mid-census election redistricting of their state and demanding congress prohibit all future mail in voting, President Trump issued an executive order that prohibits anyone that is not a registered Republican from voting in all future elections.  When asked about the constitutionality of such a drastic requirement, press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the president felt that since he has the power to do anything he wants, this measure would simplify the entire voting process by tasking only true patriotic citizens with the precious right to vote.  “You can understand how silly it is to jump through all these redistricting and specific voting method hoops when the president can just help the great citizens of this country out by providing a simplified voting system,” she said.   Leavitt went on to say that as a bonus the president went even further in the simplification process by generously offering his gold card as an even more convenient way to vote.  Perchasing the $100.00 card and presenting it to poll workers will allow any registered Republican to forgo the tedious identification and signature details at voting sites.

I mentioned in a blog a few days ago how important it was to incorporate traditional media into our information sources.  Check that.  Included in the sale of CBS’s parent company Paramount to Skydance Media is a stipulation that CBS install a “bias monitor” which is basically someone who will make sure the news company’s reporting meets standards demanded by President Trump.  WTF?  Trump already has Fox News under his thumb.  Now CBS.  ABC has revealed it’s spineless organization would also rather lay down and get  steamrolled by one of Trump’s  frivolous  lawsuits.  That company might be just another Trump threat away from capitulating to demagogury.  What to do?  Good alternatives are PBS and NPR.  Oh shit.  I forgot.  They are in Trump’s crosshairs too.  He’s been able to claw back their funding that congress had previously approved. Are you starting to see a pattern here?

Controlling the media is a primary tool for authoritarian ascent.  Think Orban in Hungary and Erdogan in Turkey.  The Trump media megaphone is suddenly a serious threat to democracy.  He knows he needs all the help he can get now that he is at the center of the slippery Epstein vortex.

Whatever your prefered media source, if Trump is front and center be prepared to hear him  utter the word “hoax”  after every third breath. So far not much seems to be working for Trump in the way of Epstein deflection.  But “hoax” is tried and has always been true.  It’s uncanny but there is something entrancing to the MAGA base about that word.  Repeating “hoax” over and over again mysteriously transports them into the Trumpian nether reality where everything he says becomes believable.

But he’s been saying that, you say, and he’s still not breaking through?  Yes, he has been promoting his hoaxing pitch, but he can’t seem to stick to one story.  Maybe this is a case where deflection is counterproductive.  Maybe the usual bag of tricks doesn’t play so well when a sensitve topic like pedophila is involved.  Too much diversion and the power of the word “hoax” gets diluted.

As we know, the story starts with the seedy Epstein documentation that upon getting elected Trump said he was going to expose.  But when the spotlight suddenly started shining a little too brightly on him, he started up with his usual hoax routine.  Nothing there he said. But because of AG Bondi’s revelation that there indeed was a shitload of Epstein material, the public didn’t buy into the hoax business.  Trump didn’t give up on it though.  He simply embelished  the story a bit and stuck with the ever reliable hoax messaging by declaring that the stuff  out there, wherever it is, is still a hoax but only because it is  perpetrated by Obama and Hillary and Comey and any and all of his usual tormentors. But he suddenly  careened  off the hoax track with rants about Obama and Russian election interferience and the Biden laptop and imagined election shenanigans by Kamala Harris, Opra, Beyonce’ and Al Sharpton.  It’s surprsing he didn’t continue on and accuse the entire membership of the Black race.  He did make that one course correction when the Wall Street Journal said it possesed an Epstein birthday letter that had a risqué contribution from Trump, calling it a hoax.  But then, reponding to public pressure, he veered the hoaxing wagon off path by ordering DOJ to release “pertinent” grand jury testimony concerning the Epstein case.   Since then he’s been off the hoax  beam and just randomly haranguing about anything that comes to mind- badgering NFL and Major League Baseball management to change their team names back to something a little more racially slurring and acceptable to him, posting AI generated mug shot images of his political enemies, slinging allegations of mortgage fraud at his arch enemy Adam Schiff, and lying about positive polling numbers, and that’s just a small sample of his ragings.

A major opportinity has opened up for Trump to get his hoaxing train back on track and squelch this embarrasing Epstein business.  Start labeling the Ghislaine Maxwell verdict as a hoax.  How hard would it be for Trump to sell that narrative to his fawning tribe.  Sure she’s a convicted pedophile, but no one can spin it like Trump.  After all, he’s the guy that somehow managed to convince millions of people to disregard what they saw with their own eyes on January 6th 2021 and believe in the almighty word of Trump.  The Democrats and mainstream media would have you believe it was a rampaging insurrection incited by none other than President Trump. Gasp. Hoax! Hoax!

If I may Mr president.  That’s the playbook.  Stick to it.  I know it looks bad.  Word is you are mentioned over 100 times in the Epstein files.  And I must say, good thinking with that preemptive  move, you know, sending in about a thousand federal prosecutors and FBI agents to scour the data for any mention of the word “Trump.”  Decisive action like that shows the nation you are the president and you mean business.  You know you have the power to do anything you want.  Remember- the Supreme Court said so.  So get back on that horse and lasso this thing, cowboy!  Hoax!  That’s the ticket.  Ghislaine Maxwell’s convictions- all a HOAX.  When she conveniently reveals that she can’t ever recall  seeing you with Jeffrey Epstein, go ahead and pardon her. You don’t want all that work Todd Blanch did to prep her go to waste.   Remember, you pardoned and commuted over 1,500  Jan 6th convicts and there was hardly a peep.  All the photos and video of you cavorting with Epstein- AI.  All a hoax.  Of course you might want to see to it your professional loyalists take care of loose ends like making sure anything that looks “hoaxy” disappears.

You are the omnipotent president for god’s sake, with unparalleled media power behind you.  If you don’t control all of it quite yet, what everyone realizes now is the simple threat of litigation will remarkably force media outliers to get in line.  So stay the course.  HOAX, HOAX.  You can now spread the word like soft butter over warm toast.

During a Truth Social rant a few days ago, President Trump threatened to interfere with a deal to build a new football stadium in Washington D.C. unless the local NFL team now known as the Commanders, changes their name back to the Redskins.  The team dropped the name Redskins in 2020 after decades of criticism that it was a degrading racial slur with links to US genocide of indiginous populations.

“I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original Washington Redskins and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, Washington Commanders, I won’t make a deal for them to build a stadium in Washington,” he stated on his social media platform.

In an obvious reference to his war on DEI, Trump also said “Times are different now than they were three or four years ago.  We are a country of passion and common sense.  OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!”

Later, when asked to clarify why he would resurrect such a contentious issue, Trump seemed firm in his response. “That name change was a disgrace, a bunch of woke nonsense.  We all remember those pesky redskins.  One of them came up to me just the other day, big man, strong man, war paint streaming down his cheeks.  He said “sir, sir, why did white man change name of football team?  Me, redskin.  Call me redskin, my heart will soar like a hawk.  You, heap big chief, you make white man change name back!’  I gotta tell you ol’ Red, I call him Red, he was really mad.  You don’t want to piss off those redskins I’ll tell you. They’ll SKIN YOU ALIVE! They have those special scalping knifes.  Of course in the old days they were called ‘dirty redskins’ because they fought kind of dirty- the scalping, flaming arrows, nasty war clubs with nails in them.  And living in those Teepee’s they didn’t really shower or anything.   But we took care of that, cleaned them up, sent the kids to nice schools and got rid of all the buffalo so they finally started eating right.  When we get back our great football team, the’ Washington Redskins,’ I think the players should wear different colors of that stuff they smear on their faces, some nice red and blue, like, flag colors, maybe some white, to look more like real redskins.  Ol’ Red would really like that. I don’t like that black color. There’s too much black going around. I think the fans would like to see their Redskins look more like real Redskins.  If that doesn’t happen, then, well, management might be getting a visit from the tax auditor.”

Sticking with a theme of merging the good old days with the new age, Trump also reminded his supporters that there was a time when pedophilia was commonly accepted, and it was time everyone moved on from the practice’s social distain.  “I can’t believe people are still talking about sexual abuse of children.  We should be talking about all the great things I have done to make America great again.  I have gotten more things done in 6 months than any previous president got done in  four years.  That’s what people should be talking about.”  He went on to mention that the age of concent has kept creeping upward over the years, and states needed to get back to the good old days and take a hard look at lowering it or getting rid of it altogether. The importance of compliance in this regard seems paramount to Trump since he threatened to withhold federal funding of any kind to states that do not submit to his desire.
