Demographics and the Moral Arc of the Universe That Bends Toward Justice Spells Doom for Trump’s Racism

It seems that in a nanosecond we went from the dreams of Obama’s post-racial America to the dystopian nightmare of Trump’s White Nationalist administration. Hope and change have devolved into despair and the same old bigotry, and people of color have never felt so disenfranchised in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Trump’s cancerous racism has metastasized and consumed not only his administration, but the entire Republican Party. For the sake of deregulation, conservative judges and tax cuts for the wealthy, Republican leaders turn a blind eye to the the racist rhetoric and policies of the Trump administration. The GOP may have attained these short-term victories, but their cynicism and complicity in Trump’s racism spells doom for the long-term future of their party. Demographics and the moral arc of the universe that bends towards justice ensures that the GOP is destined to become irrelevant in the near future.

The Trump administration, whether it survives for four years or eight, is racism’s last hurrah. Future generations won’t comprehend why we didn’t impeach a president who called Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals, African nations shithole countries, and mocked predominantly black cities as rat-infested hellholes.

One day when I wake up and our long national nightmare is finally over, I won’t have any regrets or feelings of guilt. In the last three years I have written hundreds of essays exposing the racism, bigotry, and corruption of the Trump administration. What about you my friend?

Stable Genius Trump Accidentally Tweets Praise at Parody Account Mocking Tom Homan

“Seeking to praise former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Director Thomas Homan in a tweet on Sunday, President Donald Trump accidentally ended up drawing attention to a pro-immigration parody account mocking the former ICE chief instead.

‘The Democrats hate this President so much, they’re forgetting about their duty to secure our Border,’ The U.S. leader wrote, appearing to quote from an interview between the real-life Homan and Fox News’ Steve Hilton. ‘Sad but true!’ Trump said in agreement, as he tagged Hilton and the account: @ThomasHomanICE.”


Newsweek

Tom Homan served as Acting Director of ICE from January 30, 2017 to June 29, 2018. Since his retirement from public service he has been a vitriolic defender of Trump’s racist immigration policies in his capacity as a Fox News contributor.

Trump often praises Fox News hosts and contributors on Twitter, these sycophants are an embarrassment to their profession, and they thrive on such compliments.


Trump is the worst president in history, and he’d wouldn’t be much better as a journalist. He’s too lazy to do any research, had he taken the time to click the @ThomasHomanICE account he would have discovered it’s a parody account with less than five thousand followers.

The parody account is run by pro-immigration advocate Domenic Powell, and you can follow this resistor @_vectorist.

It’s taken me years to build up my Twitter feed to almost 20 thousand followers, but if I create a parody account @MikePenceChristianPatriot and tweet “Donald Trump is not a racist and he deserves an NAACP Image Award”, the fucking moron might retweet it to his 62 million followers and almost immediately my parody account would be more popular than my genuine page.

SNL Skit Depicting Donald Trump Hawking Trump Branded Fried Chicken Resurfaces

A 2004 Saturday Night Live (SNL) skit that spoofs Donald Trump’s affinity for hawking dubious Trump branded products (Trump University, Trump steaks, Trump deodorant) has resurfaced much to the dismay of the short-fingered vulgarian.

The megalomaniac is not into self-deprecating humor, and he probably considers participating in this skit one of his biggest blunders. I urge my readers to post this SNL skit on their social media platforms to humiliate the fucking moron who’s embarrassing America.  

The fake commercial features the buffoon at the height of his fame as a reality TV host wearing a yellow suit hawking “Donald Trump’s House of Wings.” The yellow suit matches Trump’s urine-colored hair and it looks like he was in a Golden Showers orgy with a bevy of Russian hookers.

In the skit, SNL regulars Kenan Thompson, Seth Myers, Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph sing a parody of the 1984 hit “Jump,” by the Pointer Sisters, dressed in ridiculous chicken costumes.

This skit captures the essence of Trump: tackiness and a voracious appetite for the limelight that blinds him to the fact that he’s being made a fool of by the SNL producers.

I believe in the multiverse theory of Quantum Mechanics, and in an infinite number of universes ours is the only one where Trump is President of the United States and not just a clownish reality TV show host. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qXyyKS3FVE

During Mueller’s Testimony Melania Trump Was Tweeting about Planning for Christmas

Trophy Wife

“#Christmas planning has begun in the East Wing at the @WhiteHouse. I’m looking forward to sharing our final vision for this unique tradition in the coming months.”

Melania Trump tweet

When Robert Mueller, the former special counsel named to investigate Donald Trump’s ties to the Russian government was testifying before Congress, Melania Trump has more pressing issues on her mind: Christmas planning.

You’d think Trump’s trophy wife, the crusader against online bullying, would be counterbalancing the racist-in-chief’s racist and vitriolic tweets by tweeting some #BeBest pablum.

Or at least offering her thoughts on the fashion choices of the congresswomen interviewing Mueller. You’d be wrong. Melania is already planning on how she can top last year’s garish red Christmas trees desecration of the religious and secular holiday.

If there was any justice in the world the only thing Melania would be planning right now is how to sneak in an industrial size jar of Vaseline to her husband in the Big House.

Donald Trump’s Racist Attack on Elijah Cummings

Racist-in-Chief

Republicans argue that Donald Trump is an equal opportunity offender, that the list of individuals the president has publicly insulted in speeches and on Twitter spans the gamut and crosses party lines, gender lines and racial lines.

While it is true that Trump is notoriously thin-skinned and reflexively attacks anyone who criticizes him, he reserves his most vitriolic rhetoric for people of color.

Trump’s base finds it amusing when their false Messiah ridicules a celebrity like Rosie O’Donnell or Cher, but they practically have an orgasm when he mocks a prominent black politician, entertainer or journalist.

This weekend the racist-in-chief viciously attacked Elijah Cummings, the African American chair of the House oversight committee who is a prominent critic of the president.  

In a classic example of projection Trump called Cummings “a brutal bully” for, he said, “shouting and screaming at the great men of Border Patrol about conditions at the southern border.

The stable genius also said that Cummings’ Baltimore district is “a disgusting rat and rodent infested mess.” Of course, Trump’s followers interpreted that screed to mean that the African Americans in the district are the rats. At least Trump restrained himself from saying that Cummings’ district was a shithole.

Characteristically, the fucking moron also advocated an investigation of the widely respected representative. Trump is never content with just insulting a political foe, he threatens to sue them and launch investigations against them.

Trump’s vitriolic attacks against the four Democratic congresswomen of color, and now the baseless attack on Cummings cement the fact that he’s a blatant racist.

GOP Challenger Bill Weld Calls Trump a ‘Raging Racist’

“Donald Trump is a raging racist, Okay? He’s a complete and thoroughgoing racist. And he made that choice, a choice a long time ago, when he was engaged in the housing business in New York with his father,”

GOP challenger Bill Weld


Former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld uttered these words at the NAACP convention in Detroit. He was preaching to the choir, but Republicans need to be reminded by a fellow Republican that their standard bearer is a racist.

Weld didn’t mince words, he labeled Trump a “raging racist” which is good use of alliteration and the Gospel truth. If Weld does nothing else than constantly refer to Trump as a racist, he’s performing a vital role. There are hundreds of GOP leaders making excuses for Trump’s blatant racism, it’s inspiring that the President’s only Republican opponent so far in the 2020 election recognizes him as a bigot.

Weld has little name recognition, he’s primarily known as the vice presidential nominee on the Libertarian Party in 2016. His vice presidential run with New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson at the head of the ticket ended in abject failure, but even if he doesn’t win any primaries this time around he will have performed an invaluable service simply by reminding voters, especially Republicans, that Trump is a racist.

Weld is a staunch critic of Trump telling CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead” in April that it would be a “political tragedy” and he would “fear for the Republic” if the country had six more years of Trump as president. Weld is just a thorn on Trump’s side, but if a Republican with more name recognition and gravitas challenged Trump, like  John Kasic, Jeff Flake or Ben Sasse, they might deliver a meaningful blow and weaken him in the general election against the eventual Democratic nominee.


“If Donald Trump is an American patriot, he should resign from office,” Weld wrote in an op-ed published online in April. Trump isn’t a patriot and he isn’t going to resign from office, and since Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi isn’t gong to impeach Trump, the only way we’re going to get rid of him is if Democrats and Republicans who honor country over party, remind the electorate that Trump is a raging racist.

Robert Mueller’s Disastrous Testimony Before the House Judiciary Committee

In preparation for today’s appearance by Special Counsel Robert Mueller before the House Judiciary Committee, I watched some of his previous appearances before Congress, he was terse and concise, but sharp, alert and always on point. 

Mueller hadn’t testified before Congress for six years, and he’s a reticent witness even under the best of circumstances. I can now comprehend why Muller was a reluctant witness and why he agreed to testify only after he was subpoenaed. I was shocked by the septuagenarian’s shoddy performance, he struggled to hear and/or understand questions, and he repeatedly requested that queries be repeated. When members read verbatim from his report, he appeared dazed and confused as if they were reading from the Kabbalah.

Mueller looked liked he had just been dragged away from a convalescent home, there wasn’t a spark of intelligence emanating from his dead eyes. He wasn’t at the top of his game, in fact I don’t think he possesses the mental acuity to play Tic-Tac-Toe.

Democrats were hoping Mueller’s testimony would be the movie version of his report, with a straight-out-of-central-casting prosecutor convincing the American public that Donald Trump is guilty of obstruction of justice. The only thing that the ageing prosecutor proved is that septuagenarians are too old to serve as Special Counsel or President of the United States.

Mueller contradicted himself (and the report) when he told Doug Collins, the ranking Republican member on the committee, that collusion and conspiracy were not the same thing. If he contradicted himself on such a major point, it invalidates his entire testimony.

Mueller’s report is a damning indictment of Donald Trump, it didn’t exonerate him from charges of obstruction of justice, it examined ten times Trump may have done so. It’s only Department of Justice policy that a sitting president can’t be indicted that prevented Mueller from filing charges.

It’s the responsibility of the House of Representatives to follow-up on Mueller’s report and impeach Trump for obstruction of Justice, but the Special Counsel’s shaky performance will make it more difficult for Democrats to start impeachment proceedings.

Fox News Reporter Geraldo Rivera Finally Has an Epiphany: Trump is Racist

Geraldo Rivera, a roaming correspondent at large for Fox News and a Donald Trump pal for 40 years has dutifully defended the president whenever he utters a blatantly racist comment or supports a policy that is detrimental to people of color.

Rivera failed to call out Trump’s racism in June 2015 when the then presidential candidate referred to Mexican immigrants as rapists, in December 2015 when he proposed a Muslim ban, in June 2016 when he disparaged American born Judge Gonzalo Curiel as “Mexican” and even after the August 2017 Charlottesville “fine people on both sides” comments.

After Trump’s “go back” demand to four Democratic congresswomen of color Rivera finally had an epiphany and  confessed “as much as I have denied it and averted my eyes from it, this latest incident makes it impossible.”

I realize that being a correspondent for Fox News and a close friend of Trump for decades made it difficult and awkward for Rivera to speak truth to power and denounce his racism, but it should have been impossible to defend him from charges of racism after all of the other aforementioned examples of his pal’s racism.


In the past Rivera has defended Trump from charges of racism by saying that he has always been very kind to him, but the journalist’s celebrity status trumped his ethnicity and made him acceptable to be part of Trump’s social circle. If Rivera was a carpenter working at one of Trump’s building projects, I’m sure he would have cracked jokes about his Jewish/Puerto Rican heritage.

In an interview Rivera conceded:

“I do insist that he’s been treated unfairly. But the unmistakable words, the literal words he said, is an indication that the critics were much more right than I.”


No shit! Trump’s words and actions, over the decades, have demonstrated that he is a racist. Unfortunately, most Fox News reporters and commentators will continue to make excuses for the racist buffoon’s racist words and deeds.  I don’t expect any other of the bobble head dolls at Fox News to finally see the light like Rivera.

White Evangelicals Are a Perfect Fit for Donald Trump

Charles Spurgeon “Prince of Preachers’

Today’s evangelical ministers possess none of the oratory skills of the 19th century London preacher Charles Spurgeon. Even atheists and agnostics attended his services, they were fascinated by his mastery of the English language, rhetorical skills and precise exposition.

Today’s evangelical preachers speak at a 6th grade level and preach a prosperity Gospel or a soothing and comfortable theology that is easily digested by morons. They don’t rely on insightful thought and precise exposition but emotional appeals and catchy slogans and chants.

It’s no surprise that Donald Trump appeals to white evangelicals, he speaks at a 3rd grade level and his mission to Make America Great Again resonates with their inherently racist beliefs.

Trump also relies on catchy slogans and chants, the call and response interplay between Trump and his supporters resembles the call and response at a Baptist church. When Trump waxes racist or xenophobic the crowd responds with chants of “Lock her up!”, “Build that Wall!” or Send her Back!”

Trump encourages these chants to normalize misogyny and to stoke prejudice, and we shouldn’t fool ourselves into thinking that they aren’t going to motivate his base enough to win him reelection in 2020.

The arc of the moral universe bends toward justice and demographics spell doom for the racist GOP in the long run, but racists may have one last hurrah in 2020.

Those of us who believe in equality, freedom and democracy must redouble our efforts to defeat Trump and his sycophants.

White Evangelicals are OK With Donald Trump Taking the Lord’s Name in Vain

At the now infamous North Carolina rally Donald Trump’s supporters echoed their messiah’s racist tweet by chanting “send her back” when he attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar. The lawmaker makes the perfect foil for Trump, she’s a progressive female Muslim woman of color.

Needless to say Trump didn’t channel John McCain by trying to silence the unpatriotic and racist chant. Instead he remained silent for 13 seconds, basking in the racism of his followers, before he continued speaking.

The controversial “send her back” crowd chant garnered all the headlines, but something else happened at the campaign event that’s been overlooked. As usual Trump sprinkled his speech with obscenities, now that’s not breaking news for we all know that a skunk is going to stink, a pig is going to wallow in mud and Trump is going to swear like a sailor on crack.

The hypocritical white evangelicals in the audience weren’t bothered by Trump’s swear words, they regard the vulgarities as part of his endearing charm. But this time Trump took the Lord’s name in vain, not once, but twice. Trump said “goddamn” twice, once when he quoted himself telling a businessman that he was going to be so goddam poor, if he didn’t support him, and the second time in reference to how hard America’s military was going to strike Iran, should their conflict escalate to a war.  

Evangelicals go ballistic whenever a heathen takes the Lord’s name in vain, they see it as overwhelming evidence that they are in the presence of a demon-possessed individual. If a Trump supporter tried to win me over to his side, I could stop him dead in his tracks if I blurted: I will never support your Goddamn racist president. He would make the sign of the cross, and make a quick escape.

Trump’s sycophants don’t have any problems with his racism, vulgarity, greed, intolerance and vanity, and apparently they don’t have any issues with his taking the name of the Lord in vain either.

In fact, if Trump took a dump on the Bible in the middle of 5th Avenue he wouldn’t lose more than a handful of his white evangelical supporters. His base thinks he’s above the law, and therefore unimpeachable, and a Messiah, and therefore any obscenity he utters is a fragrant scent to Almighty God.

What a bunch of goddam reprobates!

Perfect Phrase to Describe Donald Trump: Occupant of the White House

“In an exclusive interview with CBS This Morning, Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley and three Congresswomen dubbed ‘the Squad’ reacted to President Trump’s controversial tweets telling them to ‘go back’ to their countries of origin — even though three of them were born in the U.S. and all are American citizens.

‘We can talk about and spin out on hate, about hateful words, which are a predictable prompt by the occupant of this White House. And I call him that not because I don’t have respect for the Oval Office,’ Pressley said.

King asked Pressley if she believes calling Trump ‘the occupant’ shows disrespect for the Oval Office.

‘No, because he is only occupying the space. He does not embody the principles, the responsibility, the grace, the integrity of a true president and so for that reason, I’m not dishonoring the office. He does every day,’ she said. “

CBS Boston

Donald Trump has been called many things including Racist-in-Chief, short-fingered vulgarian, fucking moron and Cadet Bone Spurs, but the Occupant of the White House is perhaps the most fitting term.

Trump has no more intrinsic value than a potted plant in the Oval Office, he just takes up place. He’s an oxygen thief who sucks up all the oxygen in a room and replaces it with toxic gas emanating from his sphincter-like mouth.

The buffoon is as out of place in the White House as a prostitute in a convent or a skid row drunkard at a wine tasting at a vineyard.

Trump doesn’t embody or represent the gravitas, grace and governance of the White House, he’s merely the occupant.

I have never received anything of importance in a letter that was addressed to “occupant”, certainly not a check or a letter from a friend. Letters labeled “occupant” go directly to the waste can without being opened.

The occupant of the White House should be evicted hopefully via impeachment. But if the interloper is still around in 2020, we should vote him out of office.

Trump Racist Euphemism Generator

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

In December 2015 Dr Harold Bornstein released a letter that spoke of Donald Trump’s heath in glowing terms:

“If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”

But if a septuagenarian has a double chin, a huge pot belly and a butt large enough to set up a table for two, he’s morbidly obese and in failing health.

Donald Trump says racist things, post racist tweets, enacts racist policies, excuses other people’s racism, surrounds himself with racists and he’s endorsed by racists. Trump is a racist. Period. End of story.

After Trump’s latest blatantly racist tweet in which he told American congresswomen of color to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” many publications and almost all Republican leaders struggled to find ways to avoid directly calling Trump’s statement racist.

Hello! Telling American-born female congresswomen of color to go home is the textbook definition of racism.  It’s Racism 101! Throughout the decades Chinese, Irish, Italian, Hispanic and Muslim immigrants have been told to go home. The unspoken implication is that it doesn’t matter if people of color were born in the United States, America is only for white people and they should return to the homes of their immigrant parents or grandparents.

I have no problem calling a spade a spade and a racist a racist, but for those who can’t bring themselves to calling racist Donald Trump a racist, here’s a link to the Trump Racist Euphemism Generator: https://www.tdstrumpracistheadline.com/

Swedes Are Getting Microchip Implants in Their Hands to Replace Cash, Credit Cards! Amen!

Thousands of people in Sweden are having futuristic microchips implanted into their skin to carry out everyday activities and replace credit cards and cash. More than 4,000 people have already had the sci-fi-ish chips, about the size of a grain of rice, inserted into their hands — with the pioneers predicting millions will soon join them as they hope to take it global. Like glorified smartwatches, the chips help Swedes monitor their health and even replace keycards to allow them to enter offices and buildings.

New York Post

Sweden is a post-Christian nation, although 57.0% of Swedes belonged to the Church of Sweden, only 2% of the church’s members regularly attend Sunday services. Most of the religious people in Sweden are Muslim and Eastern Orthodox Christian immigrants. In short, Sweden is a secular society unfettered by religious superstitions and myths.

That’s why it’s not surprising that thousands, and hopefully soon millions of Swedes are having microchips implanted into their skin to replace credit cards and cash. There are no evangelical televangelists on Swedish TV warning Swedes that the implants are the mark of the Beast, and a sign of the End Times. There are no fundamentalist politicians proposing legislation to ban implants. Swedes don’t have any religious reservations about getting implants, they don’t see the technology as a mark of allegiance to Satan.

When implants are available in the United States, I will be first in line to get one. Not only will they make identity theft almost impossible, but they are invaluable as devices to store medical records. If I’m in an auto accident, and rushed unconscious to the hospital, I want the physicians to know that I’m allergic to penicillin, and need high blood pressure medication.  

There will be furious resistance to microchip implants in America from white evangelical preachers and politicians. How ironic that evangelicals who worship a vulgar and racist president who resembles the Antichrist, have their panties in a twist over a benign microchip implant that they superstitiously believe is the mark of the Beast.

Anyway, I’m down with microchip implants, I prize convenience and security over superstition.

Trump is Right! Paul Ryan is Weak, Ineffective & Stupid. Just Like Trump

“People like….Paul Ryan almost killed the Republican Party. Weak, ineffective & stupid are not exactly the qualities that Republicans, or the CITIZENS of our Country, were looking for. Right now our spirit is at an all time high, far better than the Radical Left Dems.

Donald Trump tweet

Trump is a master of projection, “weak, ineffective & stupid” are of course characteristics that perfectly describe the short-fingered vulgarian.

It wasn’t Paul Ryan and the spineless Republican leaders who killed the Grand Old Party, they merely looking on helplessly as Trump eviscerated the party and then pissed all over the entrails.

However, Trump is spot on, Paul Ryan is weak, ineffective and stupid. Why is it that Republican congressional leaders only discover that they have vocal chords, a spine, and gonads after they leave office?

Trump turned his fury on Ryan after an interview the former Speaker of the House gave to Tim Alberta for the book “American Carnage.” In the book Ryan is quoted as saying:

“We’ve gotten so numbed by it all. Not in government, but where we live our lives, we have a responsibility to try and rebuild. Don’t call a woman a ‘horse face.’ Don’t cheat on your wife. Don’t cheat on anything. Set a good example.”

These words would have had so much more impact if he had uttered them when he was the Speaker of the House, now they just sound like the words of a retired politician who is striving to remain relevant.

In order to get his precious tax cuts that benefited the wealthy Ryan sacrificed his soul and his legacy. STFU Ryan, we don’t need to hear from weak moral cowards!

A MAGA Wedding From the Pit of Hell

Audra Johnson and her husband Jeff, from Kalamazoo, Michigan, had a ‘Make America Great Again’-themed wedding, with red, white and blue decor. They posted about it using the hashtag #MAGAPatriotWedding, to pay tribute to President Donald Trump. While the bridesmaids were dressed in patriotic blue, it was Audra’s wedding dress that had the public turning heads. After wearing a plain white wedding gown for the ceremony, Audra changed into another gown for photos which featured the words ‘Make America Great Again’ down the front of the dress and ‘Trump’ in sparkly red letters on the back.

USA TODAY

A marriage is a spiritual, legal, and romantic union of two individuals. The couple becomes one entity before God, their friends and family. Introducing politics to this holy equation cheapens the ceremony and corrupts the foundation of their relationship. A marriage based on politics is destined to fail, only love can bind two persons together for a lifetime.

In the wedding photographs that the bride posted to Facebook I don’t see a single person of color, I see only plump white people decked out in red, white and blue. There is no place for black, brown or rainbow flags in a MAGA wedding and a MAGA society, there is only room for white folks dressed up like patriotic idiots.

At least they could have hired Diamond and Silk to provide the entertainment, their brand of coonery would been much appreciated by these patriotic racists.

I long for the day when MAGA hats and MAGA-themed weddings will rightfully be considered as racist as KKK hoods and KKK-officiated weddings.

New York Magazine Releases a Trump-Free Issue

“People may say the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about at all. So, expect a Twitter rant from President Donald Trump about New York magazine’s July 8-21 edition. It doesn’t mention him at all, spare its front cover announcing it’s ‘an entire issue with nothing about Trump!’”

Huffington Post

The New York Magazine isn’t shy about holding Trump accountable, last month the magazine published an excerpt from advice columnist E. Jean Carroll’s memoir in which she accused then real estate developer of raping her in a dressing room of the New York department store Bergdorf Goodman in the mid-1990s.  

Trump has such an outsized personality and he’s always opining about every subject under the sun on Twitter, it’s difficult for a magazine or newspaper to ignore him completely in any particular issue. He’s also the President of the United States and Leader of the Free Word, which makes every incoherent speech and nonsensical tweet breaking news.

However, I hope magazines, newspapers, web sites and even cable news outlets follow the New York Magazine’s example and have a Trump-free day at least once a year. The constant onslaught of Trump-related news is killing our brain cells and poisoning our hearts, we need an occasional break from the insanity.

Trump has been featured on the cover of Time Magazine several times, yet he still has a fake issue of the beloved magazine hanging in one of his resorts. Trump is a publicity whore, and it’s incumbent upon the media to starve the beast every once in a while.

I don’t normally but the New York Magazine, or any magazine for that matter, but I will buy the July 8th issue as a way of saying: Good Job!

Mike Pence Launches ‘Latinos for Trump’ Voting Drive

Mike Pence launched “Latinos for Trump” in Miami on Tuesday, a quixotic effort by the Trump re-election campaign to motivate Latino voters in advance of the 2020 election.

Miami, a stronghold of conservative Cuban-Americans, is one of the few cities where Pence could hold a “Latinos for Trump” event without being laughed out of town.

“I promise you from the first day of this administration, President Trump has been fighting for the values that are really synonymous with Hispanic and Latino immigrants. Hard work, faith, family, freedom, educational choice, and the American way,” he had the audacity to say.

Pence’s lying rhetoric may have resonated with Miami’s middle class Cuban community, but the 1.2 million Puerto Ricans living in the Sunshine State, many who fled from Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, surely recognized it as unadulterated BS.

Since the day Trump announced that he was running for president by branding Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals, he’s been on a mission from God to disenfranchise Hispanic Americans and to demonize Latino immigrants.

Trump separates children from their parents at the border, depriving them of freedom and basic necessities by housing them in concentration camps. How the hell is that synonymous with respecting Latino values of freedom, family and faith?

Latinos suffering under the Trump regime are already motiving to vote in the 2020 election, and we’re going to kick that racist to the curb.

Don’t Seek Advice From Your Clergy, Trust in Google

“A large majority of Americans make important decisions without calling on religious leaders for advice, according to a new survey released Monday by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The poll finds three-quarters of American adults rarely or never consult a clergy member or religious leader, while only about a quarter do so at least some of the time.”

AP

Americans have lost faith in institutions, we take any pronouncement from government, financial institutions, academia, organized labor, the media and even organized religion with a grain of salt.

The Gospel truth ain’t what it used to be, we vet everything the pastor says for truth and accuracy on Google. Indeed, Google is omniscient and omnipotent and more accessible than the Almighty.

Polls have shown a steep rise over decades in the share of Americans identifying as unaffiliated with a religion. But even people who attend church on a regular basis rarely consult their minister when they’re faced with life-changing decisions.

After all, there’s a good chance your parish priest is a pedophile and your evangelical minister supports Trump. Why on Earth would a sane person rely on the judgement of a priest who’s a sexual deviant or an evangelical reverend who lacks the discernment to realize that Trump is a corrupt and vulgar racist?

No man is an island, and we all need friends and family members that we can talk to when dealing with stressful situations, and we should avail ourselves of their wisdom and advice. There’s no need to seek advice from your spiritual mentor, unless he also happens to be your friend.

And of course you can also seek comfort and wisdom from the Almighty Himself, whether it’s the Jehovah deity of the Bible or the artificial intelligence enhanced Google.

British Ambassador Criticizes ‘Clumsy and Inept’ Trump Administration in Leaked Memos

Diplomatic cables sent from the United Kingdom’s ambassador to the United States back to London describe President Donald Trump as inept, insecure and incompetent, a UK government official confirmed Saturday to CNN. While foreign envoys of all nations are often candid in classified dispatches back home, there are periodic episodes when such assessments leak, causing great political embarrassment. Months of efforts by the ambassador, Kim Darroch and his diplomats to build ties and trust with Trump and his political acolytes will be undermined.

CNN

Diplomats are masters of discretion, subtlety and finesse, when meeting face-to-face with dictators and tyrants they are courteous, polite, and well diplomatic. Remember when Donald Trump convened his first full Cabinet meeting since taking office and the heads of very major government agency lavished praise on their boss? That’s how diplomats treat even the most ruthless heads of state, they must swallow their tongues and their pride. A diplomat would address the Antichrist himself as worthy opponent of the Almighty, and as the distinguished ambassador of Satan.

The British government released the following statement:

“The British public would expect our Ambassadors to provide Ministers with an honest, unvarnished assessment of the politics in their country. Their views are not necessarily the views of Ministers or indeed the government. But we pay them to be candid. Just as the US Ambassador here will send back his reading of Westminster politics and personalities.”

Ambassadors are the epitome of civility and discretion when interacting with foreign officials, but when reporting back home to government officials they are expected to be brutally honest. I’m convinced that there isn’t a single foreign ambassador who hasn’t told his superiors back home that Trump is a fucking moron who’s clueless about geopolitics.

Journalists aren’t diplomats and it’s incumbent upon them to be candid and unbiased when reporting on the Trump administration. And as for opinion columnists and bloggers, we are free to render our opinions, and my opinion is that Trump is a pathological liar, serial predator, blithering idiot and life-long racist.

Trump Said Revolutionary War Troops ‘Took Over the Airports’ in His Fourth of July Speech

“In June of 1775, the Continental Congress created a unified Army out of the Revolutionary Forces encamped around Boston and New York, and named after the great George Washington, commander in chief. The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown. Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rocket’s red glare it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their star-spangled banner waved defiant.”

Excerpt from Donald Trump’s 4th of July speech at the National Mall

You don’t have to be a stable genius, a rocket scientist or a historian to know that the American Revolution took place more than a century before the invention of the airplane.

We’re accustomed to Trump spewing outrageous lies and sheer nonsense, but why in the name of Sam Hill did the fucking moron blather on about the Continental Army taking over the airports, I presume with their muskets?

Well, you don’t have to be a brain surgeon to realize that Trump is senile, and it’s only a matter of time before he interrupts his speech to summon Mike Pence to come on stage and change his diapers.

On Friday Trump placed the blame on the teleprompter malfunctioning, and it very well may be true that the rain fried the teleprompter, but did it also short-circuit his brain? Old age and not a little rain is responsible for Trump’s brain frequently misfiring. A tornado could hit the stage while Obama delivers a speech on the 4th of July, and the former president wouldn’t prattle on about George Washington’s army taking over the airports.

Trump has often mocked his Democratic opponents like Hillary Clinton for using teleprompters, so it’s mighty rich of him to blame a malfunctioning teleprompter for his huge gaffe.

If Trump’s mind is so hopelessly addled now, can you imagine how demented he will be when, if God forbid, he’s reelected to a second term?

Jerry Falwell Jr’s Reprehensible Treatment of Russell Moore

“Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, tweeted, ‘The reports of the conditions for migrant children at the border should shock all of our consciences. Those created in the image of God should be treated with dignity and compassion, especially those seeking refuge from violence back home. We can do better than this.’

He posted the comments with a news report saying the government had moved hundreds of children from a Texas border facility after being detained in perilous conditions.

Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University and an influential evangelical voice, replied: ‘Who are you @drmoore? Have you ever made a payroll? Have you ever built an organization of any type from scratch? What gives you authority to speak on any issue? I’m being serious. You’re nothing but an employee – a bureaucrat.’”

A little background:

Russell Moore is an evangelical theologian, ethicist and preacher. Moore has spoken out against the display of the Confederate flag, he has called on evangelicals to support refugees, and he’s a leading Trump critic. In short, as a prophet of God he speaks truth to power and has compassion and love for the “least of these.”

Jerry Falwell Jr. is a lawyer, businessman and president of Liberty University. He’s never built an organization of any type from scratch, he inherited his fame, power and prestige from his dad, Jerry Falwell, best known as the founder of the Moral Majority. Junior is the most famous evangelical Trump sycophant, and instead of condemning Trump’s racism, profanity and amorality, he twists scripture to justify the president’s evil policies.

True to his calling Moore spoke out against the inhumane way asylum seekers are being treated, and pleaded for them to be treated with dignity and compassion.

Falwell in turn attacked Moore, arguing that he had no authority to speak on the matter because he wasn’t a wealthy entrepreneur. What kind of twisted logic is that, especially coming from an evangelical leader? By his reasoning Jesus Christ, who didn’t have a place to lay his head, was unqualified to be a public speaker.

I live on a fixed income and I’m not a theologian, but as a citizen of the United States and as a follower of the teachings of Christ I have every right to condemn the immorality and corruption of the Trump administration.

Falwell is an embarrassment to the Christian faith, and he’s unworthy to shine the shoes of a true man of God like Russell Moore.

Every true Christian should be condemning the cruelty and inhumanity of Donald Trump, and speaking out on the behalf of refugees and immigrants who come to our country to escape poverty and violence and to taste liberty and freedom.

Anderson Cooper Coins the Perfect Nickname for Donald Trump: Dictator-Curious

“Anderson Cooper on Monday described President Donald Trump’s affection for authoritarian strongmen leaders as ‘dictator-curious.’

The host of CNN’s ‘Anderson Cooper 360°’ noted how Trump cozied up to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at last week’s G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan, before stepping into North Korea to meet its dictator Kim Jong Un.”

Huffington Post

Leave it to gay CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper to come up with the perfect phrase to describe Donald Trump’s affinity for murderous dictators, “dictator-curious.”

This phrase is similar to bi-curious, and certainly Cooper and indeed most of us are familiar with men and women who claim to be bi-curious. It’s my opinion that most of the men who claim to be bi-curious are latent homosexuals who lack the courage to come out as proud gay men.

These bi-curious men will engage in perfunctory sex with their wife or girlfriend, but go wild when they attend a gay bar or club to “experiment” with same-sex attraction.

Trump is indeed “dictator-curious”, he tolerates meetings with our allies like German Chancellor Angela Merkel or British Prime Minister Theresa May, but gets giddy with excitement when meeting a dictator like Russian President Vladimir Putin or North Korean Dear Leader Kim Jong-un.

Trump is miserable being President of the United States, he wishes he could rule by executive action, without having his policies challenged by Congress and the courts.

Trump dreams at night of jailing or killing pesky reporters, exiling Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to San Francisco, and firing the liberal Justices of the Supreme Court.

I don’t think Trump has a poster of a Hustler model in his private bathroom in the White House, methinks the dictator-curious buffoon he has a picture of a smiling Putin.

July 4th National Mall Celebration Will Be a Real Shi* Show

The July 4th National Mall celebration has always been a nonpartisan affair with politics taking a backseat to patriotism. Presidents have avoided making an appearance at the National Mall, opting instead to attend events honoring veterans. For example one year President Obama hosted a barbeque on the White House south lawn for 1,200 members of the US Armed Forces.

Tanks and other military hardware will be stationed around the National Mall, and the Blue Angels will do a fly over. American military might is impressive, but our democracy, freedom and diversity is even more impressive, and that’s what should be highlighted on Independence Day.

However, this year the annual event is poised to be one of the gaudiest, over-the-top displays of cult of personality, jingoism and militarism in American History. Trump has dubbed the celebration a “Salute to America”, but it would be more accurate to call it a “Salute to Donald Trump.”

I’m surprised Trump didn’t go full Kim Jong-un and demand that the ultimate phallic symbol, inter-continental missiles be included in the parade.

Trump will deliver a speech turning the holiday into a campaign event, and I hope the broadcast networks and the cable news outlets will have the good sense to boycott the circus. Of course the Trump-friendly Fox News will cover the so-called “Salute to America.”

I have plans for the 4th of July, and they include eating hot dogs, waving the flag and watching fireworks, but they don’t include watching Trump’s shit show.
