A Senile Donald Trump Calls in to ‘Fox & Friends’ on his Birthday

June 16, 2019robertpaulreyes

Most septuagenarians celebrate birthdays by putting on their dentures to nibble at a sheet cake from Costco with their fellow nursing home residents whose names they’ve long ago forgotten.

Trump’s mind is as addled as your average nursing home resident, but wealth and privilege has enabled him to move from a mansion to the White House, and he celebrated his 73^rd birthday by calling in to the three bobble head dolls/anchors of Fox & Friends: Steven Doocy, Ainsely Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade.

If your senile grandpa calls you on his birthday you will indulge him for a few minutes before cutting him off, but when the demented grandpa is the President of the United States and he’s calling in to his favorite show in his favorite network the three stooges have no recourse but to let him eat up almost an hour of the top-rating cable news program.

The marathon call was a 50-minute stream of consciousness/river of petty vindictiveness occasionally interrupted with a sycophantic comment from dumb, dumber, and bimbo.

I’m not going to get into the substance of Trump’s diatribe for that would be as educational and enlightening as examining my diarrhea after consuming a 7-11 hotdog. Suffice to say that watching Trump call in to Fox & Friends lowered my IQ by 20 points, and raised my blood pressure by 50 points.

Donald Trump’s Disastrous Interview with George Stephanopoulos

June 15, 2019robertpaulreyes

Donald Trump’s interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos was an unmitigated disaster, it exposed the president as unprepared and unpresidential. It’s no wonder that Trump rarely grants an interview with a real journalist, and he prefers to chat with the friendly news personalities of Fox News.

In the most shocking segment of the interview Trump told Stephanopoulos that he’d accept dirt on his opponents offered by other governments and ridiculed the idea of telling the FBI about it. Trump’s answer proves that the only lesson he learned from the Mueller investigation is that he can get away with anything, and he considers himself above the law.

When the stable genius was pressed by Stephanopoulos on why he didn’t answer questions from Mueller about obstruction, the short-fingered vulgarian resorted to name-calling, calling the 5’5” journalist “a little wise guy.” Once again demonstrating that when the fuc*ing moron can’t compete on an intellectual level, he lasing out with juvenile insults.

In one part of the interview the 6’3” buffoon was sitting at the Oval Office while the petite Stephanopoulos was standing, negating Trump’s height advantage and making him appear small. Where the hell are Trump’s handlers, are they too afraid to give him advice?

Stephanopoulos clearly came ahead in the encounter, he refused to be intimidated by Trump’s bluster, and refused to accept his initial disclaimers.

Drag Queens Make Lovely Video for Mike Pence’s Birthday

June 13, 2019robertpaulreyes

Donald Trump is turning 73 on June 14, and he’s managed to restrain himself from issuing an executive order making his birthday a national holiday. However, he is making a big deal out of his birthday, an email was sent this week to subscribers of the Trump-Pence campaign urging them to sign a birthday card that his lackeys will bestow on him come June 14. Their goal: Two million signatures.

Vice President Mike Pence will turn 60 on June 7, and I know what y’all are thinking: with his constipated smile and his white hair he looks older than Trump. Some kindhearted drag queens are making sure that Pence’s important day isn’t overlooked by releasing a video wishing him a happy birthday by urging people to donate money to LGBTQ organization in the homophobe’s name.

The drag peformers parody Marilyn Monroe’s famous “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” performance to John F. Kennedy by singing the sultry song to Pence.

Many raging homophobes are latent gay men, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Pence bats for the same team as these lovely drag queens.

I bet Pence will play this video every day until he joins the big Broadway chorus line in heaven.

Mike Pence Says Banning Pride Flags at US Embassies is ‘the Right Decision’

June 12, 2019robertpaulreyes

Vice President Mike Pence confirmed reports that Pride flags had been banned from U.S. embassies, and expressed his support for the administration’s decision. June is Pride Month, and in an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker, the vice president said four embassies’ requests to fly rainbow flags, which symbolize LGBTQ pride, were denied.

‘I’m aware that the State Department indicated that on the flagpole of our American embassies, one flag should fly, and that’s the American flag. And I support that,’ Pence said.

CBS News

It’s not exactly breaking news that Vice President Mike Pence supports the administration’ decision to ban Pride flags from American embassies. First of all the obsequious Pence has never publicly disagreed with any of Trump’s policies or statements, and secondly the notorious anti-gay religious conservative considers the Pride flag aesthetically and theologically offensive.

On May 31, 2019 Donald Trump tweeted:

As we celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions LGBT people have made to our great Nation, let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation.

The stable genius is such a hypocrite, what better way to stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in countries where they are persecuted, and even put to death, for the crime of being gay, than by allowing the Rainbow flag to fly from U.S embassies?

When he was governor of Indiana Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a law that allowed citizens to cite religious reasons for refusing to serve gays and lesbians. The Vice President’s wife, Karen Pence teaches at a Christian school that bars employees for engaging in homosexual activity. In other words, for as long as they cling to their narrow interpretation of the Bible, Pence and his wife will remain hopelessly homophobic.

The blatantly racist Trump and the zealously homophobic Pence are a threat to our inclusive secular democracy, and everybody who values liberty, freedom and racial and religious harmony should vote this evil men out of office in 2020.

Donald Trump Signed The D-Day Proclamation In The Wrong Place

June 11, 2019robertpaulreyes

“Of course, Trump was unlikely to let arguably the single most momentous and traumatic day of fighting of the 20th century upstage him. He was one of 15 world leaders to sign a special D-Day proclamation reaffirming the importance of co-operation and peace, but took the opportunity to remind everyone in Europe who’s the best by completely forgoing basic letter-signing decorum. Nothing says ‘We affirm that it is our shared responsibility to ensure that the unimaginable horror of these years is never repeated’ quite like scrawling your name at the top of a proclamation to show you’re actually the best.”

Esquire

After almost two and a half years in office, Donald Trump has signed myriad executive orders, and you’d think that the stable genius would know that important documents are signed at the bottom.

But it’s probably not ignorance as much as narcissism that compelled the fucking moron to scrawl his signature at the top of the proclamation.

He wanted his signature to stand out, and he didn’t want the name of any of the European leaders to be in close proximity to his own. Just to me sure his signature stood out, he did a John Hancock.

I guess we can’t rule out that the buffoon thought that “D-Day” stood for “Donald Day”, and his autograph deserved a place of honor.

Dear Lord what a moron! Some patriot should tie his tiny hands so he can’t tweet or sign anything.

It’s a Sin for White Evangelicals to Pray that God Protect Trump

June 9, 2019robertpaulreyes

“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” — 1 Timothy 2:1-2

For generations Christians, including evangelicals, interpreted this admonition from the Apostle Paul as a directive to pray that their political leaders were guided by the wisdom of the Almighty. Even in authoritarian states where Christians were persecuted, they prayed that their dictators might bend to the will of God.

These prayers were uttered in the same spirit of a beauty queen contestant’s pontification on world peace during the interview segment of the beauty pageant. No one believes that a beauty queen’s soliloquy on peace will bend the moral arc of the universe toward peace and justice, and no Christian really believes that his supplications for political leaders will have an effect on their morality and adherence to Scripture.

But in the 1970’s with the rise of the Moral Majority, white evangelicals started to equate spirituality with the Republican Party, and instead of praying in a general sense for wisdom for political leaders, they prayed that the Congress and the president would uphold the family values of the GOP: anti-abortion, anti-women, and pro guns, a strong military and prayer in public schools.

Being pro-Republican is so ingrained in evangelical thinking that they now embrace a thrice married real estate huckster and serial sexual predator who became president by demonizing immigrants and palling around with white nationalists.

When white evangelicals intercede with the Almighty on behalf of Trump they don’t pray that he repent of his racism, intolerance and mean and petty ways, they pray that God would defend him from his enemies and bring his racist policies to fruition.

And they really believe in the efficacy of their prayers, they are persuaded that God is blessing their false Messiah, and his mission to make America Great Again.

We can be faithful to Paul’s teaching to pray for those in high positions without selling our souls to an extreme political ideology. Simply put: If a president’s policies and rhetoric are antithetical to the message of love and peace of the Gospels pray for his repentance, and if he rules with compassion and understanding, pray that God continues to bless him.

But thoughts and prayers and two bucks won’t get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks, vote the short-fingered vulgarian out of office in 2020.

The Old Stumbling Bumbling Joe Biden Returns

June 8, 2019robertpaulreyes

For the first six weeks of his campaign, Joe Biden largely drifted above the fray, a front-runner beyond the reach of the masses of the Democratic presidential field. His rivals publicly welcomed him into the race, and not a cross word was said about his moderate policy proposals or his advanced age.

For the first six weeks of his presidential campaign, Joe Biden engaged in a Hillary-like campaign: relaxing comfortably above the fray he barely deigned to acknowledge the existence of his myriad rivals.

His competitors publicly enthusiastically welcomed him into the race, and they treated him with the dame deference that functionaries in North Korea treat Kim Jong-un.

The heresy that Democratic presidential hopefuls shouldn’t speak ill of one another lest they weaken the eventual nominee had taken over the Democratic Party.

But politics ain’t beanbag, in fact it’s not even dodge ball, it’s a WWE Battle Royale where entertainment may be the name of the game, but the contestants suffer real physical injuries.

Miraculously, Biden survived the first six weeks of his campaign without suffering a major blunder, primarily because he barley campaigned and didn’t grant any interviews.

But you can always count on Biden to be Biden, and this week the real bumbling and stumbling Biden surfaced, and his opponents were quick to pounce.

In an unforgivable flub, for someone whose 1987 presidential run was derailed because of plagiarism, his campaign was forced to confess to plagiarizing a portion of the climate change plane he released this week.

On this same fateful week Biden reaffirmed his support of the Hyde Amendment – a measure banning federal funding for most abortions that’s universally opposed by his Democratic challengers – he reversed himself a couple of days later, saying he no longer supports the controversial measure.

Biden’s rivals from the joke candidates like Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) to serious challengers like Sen. Elizabeth Warren were quick to attack him.

Enough with the kid gloves treatment, if Biden is to survive the Democratic Primary (which I doubt), a little roughing up by his rivals will do him good.

Don’t Ring My Doorbell!

June 6, 2019robertpaulreyes

“Have millennials killed the doorbell? People admit they’re ‘too scared’ to answer the ‘aggressive’ ring – and don’t open the door to visitors unless they TEXT.”

Daily Mail

I have watched too many flicks where a knock on the door or a doorbell ring is a prelude to mayhem and murder, and I regard a knock on my door or a doorbell ring as an assault on my safety, privacy and security.

Not that I get many unwanted visitors, the “no soliciting sign”, the four “beware of dog” signs and the alarm company decals tends to discourage Jehovah’s Witnesses, salespersons and brats selling candy to raise money for school activities.

When contractors, friends and family members visit me, they send me a text when they arrive at my home, or they honk the horn (I know really ghetto but not as intrusive and invasive as a doorbell.)

In fact, if it weren’t for doorbell camera systems doorbells would have become extinct by now.

The last time someone knocked on my door, the sun had already set, and without looking to see who it was, I shouted “What the hell do you want?” I didn’t hear a reply and there was no second knock. If you come to my little pink house, think twice before knocking!

Move Over Trump Baby Blimp, Here Comes the Farting Trump Robot

June 5, 2019robertpaulreyes

“Thousands of Brits took to the streets here Tuesday, where they marched alongside a 16-foot farting robot of Donald Trump and held aloft huge photos of John McCain in an attempt to trigger the president.”

Daily Beast

During Donald Trump’s visit to the UK, the inflatable caricature of Trump (universally known as Trump Baby) was flown in protest of his racism, bigotry, and xenophobia. Basically the blimp is a protest against everything foul that Trump represents.

The balloon which has achieved iconic status was first flown over Parliament Square, London on July 28, in protest of Trump’s first visit to England as president.

Trump Baby has a presence on all the major social media platforms, and he is so popular that he has made appearances at anti-Trump demonstrations in Paris, Buenos Aires and other major cities, and replicas of the beloved blimp have flown over hundreds of anti-Trump rallies all over the world.

Move over Trump Baby, a new Trump protest symbol made its inaugural appearance this week in London. The Trump farting robot sits atop his golden throne (a golden toilet) with a smartphone in his tiny hand. It emits farting noises and the mantra “no collusion.”

I favor the realism school of art, therefore I would have filled the toilet bowl with real excrement, and given Trump’s penchant for golden showers I would have poured urine all over the work of art. But at least the creator, Don Lessem, kept things real my making his penis only three millimeters.

I’ve grown in love with Trump Baby, and I don’t think the Farting Trump Robot will become quite as popular, but kudos to the Brits for being so inventive and creative.

Donald Trump Shocks the World With New Hairstyle

June 4, 2019robertpaulreyes

On Sunday Donald Trump attended a service for victims of the mass shooting in Virginia Beach sporting a new hairdo.

This is earth shattering news, first of all the evangelicals’ darling attends church only on Easter and Christmas, and secondly he never changes his hairstyle.

Trump’s urine-colored weird hairstyle is his trademark, and he’s never been known to deviate from his peculiar look.

Trump arrived at the church straight from his real place of worship, the golf course, wearing a baseball cap, and some argue that Trump wasn’t trying out a new look, and that he was simply suffering from a case of “hat hair.”

By the time Trump landed in London on Monday he had returned to his signature look that we hate so much.

With his slicked back hair Trump looked normal, we’re talking used car salesman normal, televangelist normal, or creepy old dude trying to look normal, but somewhat normal nevertheless.

I guess it really doesn’t matter what hairstyle he dons, his mouth still looks like a sphincter, his complexion is still orange, and he still has two or three chins, depending on how many burgers he eats on a given day.

Pic of Trump’s new hairdo:

It’s in White Evangelicals’ DNA to Worship Donald Trump

June 2, 2019robertpaulreyes

It’s axiomatic that white evangelicals worship Donald Trump, but let’s examine why this is the case:

White evangelical ministries, for the most part, aren’t hierarchical organizations like the Catholic Church where the local parish priest has to answer to his archbishop, cardinal and of course the infallible pope. Franklin Graham, Pat Robertson, Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar aren’t restrained from their wildest impulses by a board of deacons, they answer only to themselves. They justify their most outlandish pontifications, by claiming that the Almighty is speaking through them.

It’s in white evangelicals’ DNA to worship an authoritarian figure like Trump, who disparages the coequal Judiciary and Congress and pretty much does damn well as he pleases.

Evangelical leaders aren’t challenged by their followers because they preach the inspired an infallible Word of God, never mind that Christianity is a Byzantium religion with thousands of denominations, each one with their own unique interpretation of scripture. Trump speaks with the authority of a televangelist, and his sycophants accept everything he says as the Gospel truth even though he’s a pathological liar.

Evangelicals have a binary world view: Christians and sinners. Likewise Trump supporters have a binary belief system: There’s them and then there’s everyone else: liberals, feminists, abortionists, homosexuals, globalists, climate change fanatics …

Evangelical ministers are prone to making crazy promises, “Give to my ministry and I will build the biggest cathedral, the largest university in the world”, all for the glory of God of course. “Give us your tithes and offerings and we will convert the heathen lands of China and Russia”! Trump supporters swallow the buffoon’s incredible claims like: I will build a beautiful 30-foot concrete wall from sea to shining sea.

Evangelical ministers strip their followers of their money and self-respect and in return provide them with a superficial faith that doesn’t sustain them in difficult times. Ditto Trump.

Racist Donald Trump Won’t Swap Harriet Tubman for Andrew Jackson on $20 Bill

June 1, 2019robertpaulreyes

The American dynasty was built by the English invaders on the slavery of Africans and the genocide of the indigenous population, and centuries later these two races still lag far behind the white ruling class.

For a short time during the Barack Obama administration we dreamed that we were living in a post-racial society, but the election of Donald Trump has crushed those fantasies and brought us back to reality.

Trump is loath to see even symbolic acts of racial progress, thus he directed his Treasury Secretary to postpone the unveiling of the Harriet Tubman $20 bill until after he leaves office.

The Tubman bill was an Obama administration initiative, and Trump is determined to undermine every initiative and law of the first African American president.

And let us not forget that Tubman would replace the notoriously racist Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, the same bastard responsible for the Indian Removal Act:

At the beginning of the 1830s, nearly 125,000 Native Americans lived on millions of acres of land in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida–land their ancestors had occupied and cultivated for generations. By the end of the decade, very few natives remained anywhere in the southeastern United States. Working on behalf of white settlers who wanted to grow cotton on the Indians’ land, the federal government forced them to leave their homelands and walk thousands of miles to a specially designated “Indian territory” across the Mississippi River. This difficult and sometimes deadly journey is known as the Trail of Tears.

https://www.history.com/topics/native-american-history/trail-of-tears

There is no way in hell that Andrew Jackson a vile racist would be replaced on the $20 bill by Harriet Tubman, a former slave, abolitionist and founder of the Underground Railroad on the watch of the blatantly racist Trump.

Anybody who still thinks Trump isn’t a racist is a liar or a fool.

It’s Only a Matter of Time Before Trump Soils Himself on Live TV

May 30, 2019robertpaulreyes

“It’s Only a Matter of Time Before Trump Shits Himself. Frankly, I’m shocked it hasn’t happened already. We have a president who regularly shows signs of mental decline: He regularly forgets people’s names and places. He makes up words. This much is clear—there will quite likely come a time when our president shits himself, probably on TV, for all to see.”

Splinter/Katherine Krueger

Trump’s mouth looks remarkably like a sphincter, and watching him speak is like watching a porn video for freaks with a sphincter fetish. Nothing but crap flows from his mouth, and whenever I hear him speak I feel like taking a shower afterwards.

But I concur with Krueger that it’s only a matter of time before the stable genius shits himself. Trump is like a ticking bomb full of crap: there will be a detonation and the shit will hit the fan. You don’t have to be a professional gambler to know that the odds are in your favor that the obese septuagenarian who eats crap every day will sooner rather than later shit himself on live TV.

The man-baby probably stains his drawers in private every day. Mike Pence doesn’t just wash his mouth after kissing his boss’s bunghole, I bet he’s tasked with washing the feces stains from the sofas and chairs in the White House.

The short-fingered vulgarian has already besmirched the presidency beyond redemption, and it won’t be much of a shock to anyone when the inevitable happens and he suffers the mother of all wet farts in public.

White evangelicals will claim that the stain in clown’s rear end is the likeness of Jesus, and Nancy Pelosi will hold her nose and insist that it’s still not time to impeach the incontinent demented moron.

In other words, it will just be another day in the Trump White House when the crazy old buffoon soils his diapers.

Nancy Pelosi Stop Dithering Around and Impeach Donald Trump

May 29, 2019robertpaulreyes

“I pray for the president of the United States. And I pray for the United States of America.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Pelosi uttered these words after Donald Trump threw a temper tantrum and stomped out of meeting with Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to discuss a grand infrastructure deal. Trump was furious that shortly before the ill-fated meeting Pelosi had accused him of being engaged in a cover-up.

Trump drives some people to pray and others to curse, but it’s impossible to remain neutral about the most corrupt administration in history.

Allow me to parse Pelosi’s statement:

I take issue with the Speaker stating that she’s praying for the president of the United States, she should have said that she’s worried about the office of the president of the United States.

I refrain from referring to Trump as president, he’s not my president as he’s made it abundantly clear that he cares only about his base. He’s an illegitimate president who won the election with help from the Russians, and he’s never made the transition from firebrand populist campaigner to a statesman worthy of being called president.

I also take exception to Pelosi mixing religion and politics, doing so only further cheapens both corrupt institutions. I don’t believe in Trump’s border wall, but I do believe in the wall that separates church and state.

I don’t care if Pelosi, or any politician, prays to Jehovah, Lucifer or Tinky Winky, she would be well-advised to keep her religious sentiments to herself.

In these perilous times we need action, not thoughts and prayers, and the only action that makes any sense is impeachment. Pelosi is a master politician who knows how to get under Trump’s skin, the goal shouldn’t’ be to rattle the fucking moron, but to impeach him.

Pelosi calculates that if the House impeaches Trump, that the Senate would never remove him from office, and the controversy would only motivate his base and lead to his reelection.

Of course the Republican-led Senate would never remove him from office, but I doubt that his base can be any more motivated than they are now. If Trump shot Schumer in the well of the Senate, Republican Senators still wouldn’t impeach him and his base would still vote for him.

Trump must be impeached to demonstrate that no man is above the law, not even the president. He must pay a price for his high crimes and misdemeanors.

Franklin Graham Calls for ‘Special Day of Prayer’ to Protect Donald Trump

May 28, 2019robertpaulreyes

“Graham and 250 other Christian leaders are calling for Sunday, June 2, to be a ‘Special Day of Prayer for the President’ in hopes God will ‘protect, strengthen, embolden and direct’ Trump against his political foes.

‘President Trump’s enemies continue to try everything to destroy him, his family, and the presidency,’ Graham posted Sunday on Facebook.

‘In the history of our country, no president has been attacked as he has. I believe the only hope for him, and this nation, is God. This is a critical time for America. We’re on the edge of a precipice. Time is short. We need to pray for God to intervene. We need to ask God to protect, strengthen, encourage, and guide the President,’ said his post.”

Charlotte Observer

We are living in perilous times and it’s incumbent upon prophets of God to speak truth to power and condemn ruthless authoritarians like Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

We need a man of God to stand in the breach and rail against the racism, homophobia, misogyny and xenophobia of the Trump administration. Someone like Nathan the prophet who confronted King David over his adulterous relationship with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband to cover-up the affair.

Evangelical leaders like Franklin Graham and Jerry Falwell Jr. speak out in no uncertain terms against the sexual immorality in Hollywood, but they give their false Messiah a mulligan for his myriad sexual indiscretions.

When Franklin and his ilk say they’re praying for Trump they don’t mean that they will pray that he will repent from his vulgarity, racism, intolerance and pettiness. They’re asking the Almighty to protect and strengthen Trump in his mission to Make America Great by demonizing immigrants, stripping away rights from transgender individuals, and appointed conservative judges who will overturn Roe vs Wade.

It’s blasphemous that white evangelicals are praying that the Supreme Being will protect the most evil American president in history, but at least we know that their thoughts and prayers have the efficacy of belches and farts.

I don’t know what I’ll be doing on June 2, I certainly won’t be praying for Trump but I know what I will be doing November 2020: voting for the Democrat who will face off against the fucking moron.

Is Donald Trump a Stable Genius or an Unstable Moron?

May 26, 2019robertpaulreyes

President Donald Trump, who raised fresh questions about his mental stability with a wild week that included walking out of a meeting with Democratic congressional leaders, has renewed his claim of being a ‘stable genius.’ Trump boasted that he was ‘an extremely stable genius’ at a White House event with farmers and agricultural industry leaders on Thursday.

Huffington Post

I doubt the late British physicist Stephen Hawking ever set his speech-generating device on scream mode and typed “I am a very stable genius” on his computer.

It’s manifest that the renowned theoretical physicist was a genius, listen to his lectures or read his books and you will discern that his intellect was far above an ordinary person.

Only a narcissist, who is rightly insecure about his intelligence, will frequently boast that he’s a “stable genius.” It’s manifest that Trump is a fucking moron, read his grammar-impaired tweets or listen to his disjointed speeches and you will discern that his intellect is far below that of an ordinary person.

Trump usually claims that he’s a “stable genius” after he’s done something stupid that makes it crystal clear that he’s an unstable nitwit.

This time the moron bragged that he was an “extremely stable genius” after he walked out of a meeting with Chuck and Nancy to discuss an infrastructure deal. I wonder how many more infrastructure weeks there will be before the volatile man-child is finally impeached or voted out of office.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) questioned Trump’s mental stability after his temper tantrum ended his meeting with Democratic congressional leaders, and of course the easily triggered buffoon ranted and raved about his intellectual prowess.

Republican congressional leaders know very well that Trump is an unstable imbecile, but they don’t care as long as he continues to appoint conservative judges, and strip away rights from gays, lesbians and transgender persons.

I do care! I worry about how much damage the unstable nincompoop will do our credibility overseas and to our democracy in the homeland before his term ends. Can we afford to wait that long? I think not, impeach the dumbell now!

Flying with Donald Trump on Air Force One is a Nightmare

May 25, 2019robertpaulreyes

“Traditionally, White House staffers cherish the opportunity to travel with the president overseas on Air Force One as a perk of their service. But traditionally, the president they are traveling with is not Donald Trump. CNN reports on the dread and horror that has overtaken the White House staff when duty calls upon them to accompany the 45th president. ‘It’s like being held captive,’ one source reports. The experience of overseas travel with Trump is almost exactly like traveling overseas with a poorly behaved toddler.”

Intelligencer

I’ve survived a boss from hell who made my blood pressure soar when I heard his footsteps approaching my cubicle or office, and I recognized his footsteps even when he was approaching me from behind. Even the most basic interactions with him stressed me out, because he always handled them in a way that reminded me that he was the boss and I was the underling. His suffocating presence didn’t stay confined to his office, his evil vibe permeated the entire office. We were always miserable as long as we could see him inside his office, and to add to our misery he never pulled down his shades.

I could only find relief during my lunch break, when I bypassed the company cafeteria and enjoyed my precious minutes of freedom in a restaurant, preferably one that sold alcoholic beverages.

Everybody, especially White House employees, can relate to my experiences with a boss from hell. No one enjoys working For Donald Trump: He expects undying loyalty but offers none in return, he demands that you work tirelessly to promote his inane and often contradictory policies, but will throw you under the bus once you’ve outlived your usefulness, and he will strip you of the last bit of dignity and integrity and render you unemployable.

Imagine travelling with the stable genius on Air Force One where the only escape is to force open the emergency exit and jump to sweet oblivion. It’s like a surreal vision of hell with a pilot who puts the plane on autopilot, and then goes to the cabin and entertains all the passengers by recounting the many close calls he’s had during his miraculously long career.

Click the link at the bottom of this page for a detailed account of how miserable it is to travel with Trump on Air Force One. It’s a living hell to live in a country with a racist buffoon as president, but at least we don’t have to travel in a confined place with the idiot.

Cannes Film Festival Debuts Movie Poster featuring Melania Lookalike With Likeness of Severed Trump Head

May 23, 2019robertpaulreyes

“A new movie poster at the Cannes Film Market features a bikini-clad woman carrying two severed heads, one of which looks like that of President Donald Trump wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat, while the other appears to be a zombie. The woman in the poster also resembles Melania Trump. The satirical sci-fi film – written, directed, and produced by Sheldon Silverstein – is titled ‘When Women Rule the World.’ According to the movie’s website, it is based in 2121 ‘after Trump has pushed the button, and World War Three and climate change have decimated life on earth.’ ‘The few women who have survived have completely separated from men, blaming them for all the destruction. The women live together in a women’s village lead by Auriana and protected by women warriors. The men live out in the desert,’ the description reads.”

International Business Times

The movie and its controversial poster is all about free speech, political satire and artistic expression.

I don’t have any problem with the bikini-clad Melania Trump lookalike carrying Donald Trump’s severed head, however the poster would have more symbolic punch if Trump’s severed head was hanging like an albatross around her neck.

I bet the real Melania would prefer to wear Trump’s shriveled up balls as earrings: a fantasy of many women married to serial philanders. It is a symptom of this Trumpian dystopia that normal people dream of the stable genius suffering all sorts of physical calamities.

Sheldon Silverstein, the auteur who wrote, directed and produced this masterpiece, is a prophet who imagines the world after Trump has pushed the nuclear button and decimated life on Earth.

If only women ruled the world, or at least America in 2020, and we avoided a disaster of Biblical proportions. I’m not calling for Trump to be beheaded or castrated, but I sure as hell am pleading with my fellow Americans to vote the bastard out of office.

Televangelist Jim Bakker is Peddling $45 Trump Coin

May 22, 2019robertpaulreyes

For only $45 you can establish a point of contact with God via a gold-plated coin engraved with President Trump and King Cyrus’ faces — according to the ‘Jim Bakker Show’ at least. The coin is being peddled by Lance Wallnau, who claims God told him people need it to pray for Trump. ‘When I asked the Lord, ‘Why the coin?’ he said ‘Because when you take the coin, it’s a point of contact,’ Wallnau said in the recording. ‘So your faith is being released with a million other believers to pray protection and peace and wisdom and counsel over the president of the United States and over his family.’

The New York Daily News

You don’t need a material object, much less a 24-carat gold coin, as a point of contact with the Almighty. A seeking and yearning soul is all that is required to make contact with the Supreme Being. Only a con artist would make the patently ridiculous claim that a gold coin, engraved with Trump’s face, conducts the divine energy the same way wire conducts electricity. Only a Trump cultist would swallow such hogwash. Wallnau is destined to make millions of the ignorance of Trump supporters.

Wallnau claims that if millions of believers use the coins as a “point of contact” that their faith will be released, and I guess that means that Jehovah will smite godless liberals, rain down fire on abortion clinics, and strike immigrants with boils until they return to their godforsaken countries.

If there’s a heaven I’m sure it will be populated with the poor and undocumented immigrants who put their faith in God, and if there’s a hell I’m sure it will be populated with the likes of Lance Wallnau, Jim Bakker, Donald Trump and millions of white evangelicals who put their faith in their False Messiah.

Donald Trump and His Propaganda Arm Fox News

May 21, 2019robertpaulreyes

The Fox News Network stopped using the “fair and balanced” tagline a while back, a tacit admission that as the propaganda arm of the White House it’s neither fair or balanced.

The prime time opinion hosts of the conservative network (Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham) resemble Joseph Goebbels, Adolph Hitler’s Propaganda Minister, more than they do objective analysts. Only a Trump cultist would be satisfied by the reporting and commentary offered by Fox News.

Trump enjoys a symbiotic relationship with his favorite news network. He praises his favorite Fox News personalities on Twitter, and grants interviews to Fox News on a regular basis while shunning the broadcast TV news programs and CNN and MSNBC, and it return he expects glowing coverage. To sum it up he generates ratings for Fox News and in return they treat him like the Second Coming of Ronald Reagan.

Make no mistake about it, Trump views Fox News as the media arm of his White House, and he throws a tantrum whenever the network provides air time to any of the Democratic presidential hopefuls.

The mutually beneficial relationship between Trump and Fox News has become strained after Fox hosted town hall meetings for Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar and Mayor Pete. After Sanders got the town hall treatment from Fox Trump tweeted:

“So weird to watch Crazy Bernie on @FoxNews. Not surprisingly, @BretBaier and the ‘audience’ was so smiley and nice. Very strange, and now we have @donnabrazile?”

Notice the use of the word “we”, Trump views Fox News as an integral part of his reelection campaign.

And after the Mayor Pete town hall aired on Fox News, Trump tweeted:

Hard to believe that @FoxNews is wasting airtime on Mayor Pete, as Chris Wallace likes to call him. Fox is moving more and more to the losing (wrong) side in covering the Dems. They got dumped from the Democrats boring debates, and they just want in.”

He also referred to the South Bend, Indiana, mayor again as longtime Mad Magazine mascot Alfred E. Neuman. When Trump is frustrated he reverts to using childish nicknames to refer to his political opponents.

I hope the head honchos at Fox News will have an epiphany and realize that their cozy relationship with Trump is destroying their credibility and enabling a tyrant.

Oh for the old days when Fox News could get away with semi-plausibly using the slogan “Fair and Balanced.”

White Evangelical Hypocrites Aren’t Bothered When Trump Curses

May 19, 2019robertpaulreyes

It’s not surprising that a functional illiterate like Donald Trump has a penchant for using 4-letter words, you don’t have to consult a thesaurus when the stable genius is delivering a stump speech. Any middle school student can understand his speeches and appreciates his frequent use of profane language.

By all accounts Trump curses like a sailor on crack in private, and in public he can’t help himself from uttering obscenities, but lately his use of coarse language in public has increased, especially the use of “bullshit.”

During a recent speech to the National Association of Realtors in which Trump denied being in conflict with his advisers over Iran, he accused the media of making up sources for its reporting.

“There is no source, the person doesn’t exist, the person’s not alive. It’s bullshit, OK. It’s bullshit.”

The use of the swearword wasn’t s slip of the tongue, he repeated the epithet twice for emphasis.

There hasn’t been any outrage over Trump’s predilection for cursing from Republican leaders, even from ones who make a fetish out of “family values”.

Let me call bullshit on the hypocrisy of the GOP, can you imagine the outrage if President Barack Obama has uttered just one “bullshit” during a speech? The Republicans would have been all over him like white on rice; they would have accused him of demeaning the presidency and moral depravity. There would have been racially-tinged condemnations galore. I can imagine a Republican blowhard saying that you can take the boy out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the boy, even though Obama has never lived in the inner city.

I call bullshit on the evangelicals condemnations of the corruption that they say emanates from Hollywood! Until they condemn their Orange Messiah for the filth that spews from his mouth, they can shut the fuc* up.

Does Trump Use a Sophisticated Algorithm Software to Generate His Tweets?

May 18, 2019robertpaulreyes

Donald Trump’s tweets are bonkers, to use a psychological word. I can hear a chorus of “no shit” from my progressive readers.

But what if dementia or vanity aren’t responsible for Trump’s incoherent tweets? Bear with me now, what if the stable genius employs a sophisticated algorithm software to generate his tweets?

The fuc*ing moron types a message on his favorite social media platform that’s somewhat coherent and semi-logical, and then the app turns it into a typical Trumpian tweet that freezes your brain and deadens your soul.

The funky algorithm randomly capitalizes words, invents new words (covfefe), fractures the syntax and misspells words. The source code must have been written by a racist, because there’s usually at least a tinge of racism in Trump’s tweets.

You may be thinking: your wacky theory may be correct, but why would the short-fingered vulgarian use such an app?

Why you ask? Perhaps there’s method to Trump’s madness, and there is as much Machiavellian trickery as there is buffoonery at work. Trump intends to leave his critics in a perpetual state of confusion so they will be incapable of adequately countering his nefarious policies.

Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser Wears Wacky Trump Socks

May 16, 2019robertpaulreyes

It’s not uncommon for a voter to express homage to his political hero by donning a tie. I’ve seen more than one MAGA cultist wearing a Trump tie, and I don’t mean a Trump brand tie but a wacky tie featuring Trump’s unique visage.

There’s always that one zealot who takes things to an extreme to demonstrate his fealty to his favorite politician, witness Roger Stone who has a huge tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back.

Somewhere in the middle is Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser who wore socks depicting the face of Trump. In an exhibition of abject humiliation Nungesser even hiked his trouser leg so that Trump could take a good look at them.

I would be too embarrassed to wear a Trump pin on my suit or have a Trump bumper sticker on my car. I wouldn’t want my friends to lose all respect for me knowing that I support a racist ignorant buffoon.

The only Trump-themed article of clothing I might wear is a pair of Trump drawers. I wouldn’t change them for a week figuring that a feces encrusted and urine-stained underwear is the perfect tribute for the stable genius.

White Evangelicals Like Mike Pence and Jerry Falwell Jr. Betray the Gospel of Jesus Christ

May 15, 2019robertpaulreyes

The last time Vice President Mike Pence spoke at Liberty University, he used the backdrop of one of the world’s largest Christian schools to vouch for candidate Donald Trump’s faith credentials during the 2016 campaign.

When Pence returned to the school Saturday to deliver the commencement address, his remarks were more personal.

Pence, who has been facing criticisms of his own religious views recently, warned graduates that they have to stay strong against the challenges they’ll get from Hollywood, the media and the secular left.

‘Throughout most of American history, it’s been pretty easy to call yourself Christian,’ Pence said. ‘It didn’t even occur to people that you might be shunned or ridiculed for defending the teachings of the Bible. But things are different now.’

USA Today

Jerry Falwell Jr., the president of Liberty University, was the first prominent evangelical to endorse the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump.

Ever since Trump and his lackeys have maintained a close relationship with Falwell and his university, so it wasn’t surprising that Vice President Mike Pence made a pilgrimage to the Mecca of White Evangelicalism to deliver the commencement address.

Pence warned the graduating class that they might be ridiculed for defending the teachings of the Bible. Jerry Falwell Jr. and his acolytes have been mocked and castigated by Hollywood, the media, the secular left and true Christians not for defending the teachings of the Bible, but for making a mockery of the teachings of Jesus Christ by supporting and enabling a morally degenerate president.

Pence, who was dubbed, a cheerleader for a porn president, by Mayor Pete is the last person on Earth who should be dispensing spiritual advice to graduates.

WWJD if He was the commencement speaker at Liberty University? He would rail against the university in the same way that he railed against the Pharisees. He would condemn them for turning their backs against poor folks, immigrants, prisoners and other social outcasts. He would condemn them for embracing the spirit of anti-Christ in the person of Donald Trump.

I beseech my readers to be like Jesus and condemn the anti-Christian spirit of Trump, Pence and other reprobated white evangelicals.

Donald Trump’s Tweets: The First Rough Draft of History

May 14, 2019robertpaulreyes

The late David Carr, the New York Times culture and media critic famously quipped that Trump’s tweets are the first rough draft of contemporary American history.

“Rough draft” is an understatement, Trump doesn’t employ any editors or fact checkers to correct his syntax, spelling errors and outright lies. Even though Trump is cognizant that his tweets can rock the stock market, ignite political dissent at home and abroad, and cause citizens to doubt his sanity, he promiscuously tweets without giving it any thought or consideration.

Before a reporter’s story is published by the Washington Post or the New York Times it’s vetted by lawyers for any possible legal liabilities, editors for grammatical mistakes and fact checkers for truth and veracity. Trump, the most influential publisher in the world by virtue of his Tweeter feed, answers to no one and tweets away like a glutton farting away after a huge banquet.

It’s not the broadcast TV evening newscasts or the cable news outlets that directs or controls the news cycles, it’s Trump’s Twitter machine. Of course, the major news outlets and bloggers are complicit in Trump’s stranglehold on the news cycle, but how can we be blamed for commenting on the tweets of the Leader of the Free World?

One day Trump’s tweets will be intensely studied by historians, educators, and students of the media. They will surely wonder how the confluence of the rise of social media and the rise of a populist racist almost destroyed American democracy.
