Trump Lies Because He’s a Liar

Liar-in-Chief

George Conway isn`t buying former White House communications director Anthony “Scaramucci`s claim that President Donald Trump lies because he thinks it`s fun.

The conservative attorney, who is married to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, on Friday appeared to suggest that Trump`s fondness for telling untruths is actually more deep-seated.

He used a fish-themed tweet to explain:

I don`t really agree with this. Think of fish. Fish don`t swim because they think it`s fun; they swim because they`re fish.”

Huffington Post

There`s nothing fishy about Conway`s explanation for Trump`s mountain of lies. Trump hasn`t piled up almost 10,000 lies since his inauguration because he gets a kick out of telling fibs.

Fish don`t swim for exercise or recreation, they swim because they`re fish. When you`re born with a tail and back fin, you`re going to use those appendages to swim in the water.

Trump lies because he`s a liar, a pathological liar. Naturally sometimes Trump lies because he thinks it`s fun, for example he enjoys exaggerating the size of his crowds knowing reporters will wax apoplectic.

Trump lies for myriad reasons, sometimes he lies because of his inferiority complex. He lies about his IQ to cover his ignorance and stupidity, and he brags about the size of his hands to compensate for his shortcoming.

Sometimes he`ll tell a whopper about a political opponent because he`s a mean-spirited SOB who thrives on demeaning and ridiculing his intellectual superiors.

Trump will lie for a specific reason, and he will lie for no reason, sometimes he`s aware that he`s lying, sometimes he isn`t.

If Trump`s lips are moving, chances are he`s lying. When his lips stop moving and he gives up the ghost he should be buried in his dung pile of lies.

It’s Telling That Obama Hasn’t Defended Creepy Joe Biden

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden enjoyed a storybook friendship. In 2017 Obama tweeted: Happy Birthday to @JoeBiden my brother and the best vice president anybody could have. Obama even presented Joe with the Medal of Freedom. They were best buds, they golfed, jogged and attended basketball games together. During Obama`s tenure the most popular political meme was of Obama and Joe doing goofy things together.

The truth is that the Obama/Biden bromance was as fake as Donald Trump`s tan. Their friendship was phony from the start, Obama didn`t choose Biden as his running mate because they were simpatico, or because their policies were in alignment. As the first black presidential nominee of a major party Obama felt compelled to select a white elderly establishment vice president.

The true test of a friendship between a president and his vice president is how they relate to each other when they`re no longer in office. It`s noteworthy that Obama wants nothing to do with creepy Uncle Joe, they never socialize together and I doubt that he even returns Joe`s calls.

It`s interesting that in the 2016 presidential election, Obama didn`t publicly urge Biden to run against Hillary, and this time around not only has he failed to endorse Biden, but he`s failed to defend him from the accusations that he touches women and underage girls inappropriately.

Why is the media ignoring the fact that most of the females that Biden groped were underage girls? If it`s difficult for a grown woman to tell a powerful creep like Biden to back off when he invades her space and gropes her, it`s impossible for an innocent child to avoid an adult pervert`s unwanted hugs and kisses.

I`m not talking about alleged cases of groping, C-SPAN cameras captured dozens of real instances when Biden fondled, groped and otherwise molested young girls. But you won`t find one video or photograph of Biden groping Obama`s daughters, Obama would have beat him to a bloody pulp.

Obama is no longer pretending that Biden is just a harmless goof with a penchant for being too handsy, and neither should we. It`s incumbent on us, especially Democrats, to call out Biden for being a serial molester of innocent underage girls.

Study: Cats Know Their Names as Well as Dogs

“Call a dog by its name, and its tail wags, it starts panting happily, and it showers you with love and affection.

Call a cat by its name and … well, cats are a bit harder to read. Does the cat even know what its name is?

So researchers in Japan set out to answer the question: Can a cat understand the difference between its name and any other random word that sounds like it?

In any case, the results were clear: Most of the cats moved their head or ears in response to hearing their name. The results, researchers said, showed that the cats could identify their own names among other, similar words.”

NPR

When I adopted a 7-year-old 25-pound kitty from the Humane Society, the animal shelter employee told me that he was named “Tico” by his previous owner, so I decided not to change his name.

When I took him home he failed to respond to his name, at first I thought he was just too fat, lazy and indifferent to pay any attention to me. But after a few days of failing to respond to his name, I grew worried that he might be deaf, and I took him to the vet. The vet`s verdict was that he wasn`t deaf at all, but a typical feline who`s too arrogant to respond to his slave`s voice.

No fat cat is going to outsmart me, so every time I opened his can of food I simultaneously called him, and now he usually acknowledges me when I call out his name.

There`s more than one way to skin a cat, and there`s more than one way to get your kitty`s attention.

Don`t let your cat fool you, he darn well can recognize his name.

Donald Trump is Spot-On: Joe Biden is His Own Worst Enemy

Creepy Uncle Joe

“President Donald Trump said Friday that he is not worried about competition in 2020 from Joe Biden and that the former vice president will be his own worst enemy on the campaign trail.

`I don`t see Joe Biden as a threat. No, I don`t see him as a threat. I think he is only a threat to himself,` the president told reporters as he left the White House on Friday.”

Politico

I don`t look to Donald Trump for astute political commentary, it`s almost impossible to distinguish the noxious nonsense that he spews out in his rallies from the toxic gas that emanates from his rear end.

But the stable genius was spot-on in his assessment of Joe Biden as a potential rival. It`s manifest that Biden is his own worst enemy, when he`s not putting his foot in his mouth, he`s putting his hands on a woman or an underage girl.

America was shocked in 2016 when the most inexperienced and unqualified presidential candidate in history defeated Hillary Clinton, history will repeat itself if the Democrats elect Biden as their standard bearer.

Biden has experience up the wazoo, name recognition and the support of most moderate establishment Democrats, but his liabilities outweigh his assets. The geriatric politician has enough baggage to sink a luxury liner the size of the Titanic. He`s too old (chronologically and culturally), too white (in this election cycle Democrats are yearning for a woman or a minority to represent them), too moderate (he`s a fish out of water in a sea teeming with sharks the likes of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Beto O`Rourke, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris), and too disrespectful of women and children, the #metoo generation will not tolerated an old geezer who gropes women and underage girls.

Dear fellow liberals I come to bury Joe Biden, not to praise him or make excuses for him. There are a dozen young, energetic, progressive female and minority presidential candidates who can defeat Trump. For God`s sake let`s bury Biden before he destroys our chance of retaking the White House.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg: A Gentleman and Scholar Imbued With the Spirit of Christ

“Presidential candidate and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg said during his interview with USA Today that it is hard to look at the actions of President Donald Trump and think he believes in God.

`I`m reluctant to comment on another person`s faith, but I would say it is hard to look at this president`s actions and believe that they`re the actions of somebody who believes in God,` Buttigieg said.

`I just don`t understand how you can be as worshipful of your own self as he is and be prepared to humble yourself before God. I`ve never seen him humble himself before anyone. And the exaltation of yourself, especially a self that`s about wealth and power, could not be more at odds with at least my understanding of the teachings of the Christian faith,` he added.”

Mediaite

White evangelicals worship Donald Trump as the Messiah appointed by the Almighty to make America Great Again by restoring our nation to a time when Christianity ruled supreme, minorities knew their place, and women realized that their greatest contribution to society was having babies.

I certainly don`t view the short-fingered vulgarian as a Messiah or even a particularly religious person.

Politicians, especially during a campaign, consider commenting on another politician`s faith the third rail of politics.

But Mayor Pete, no fool, rushes in where angels fear to tread. He points out that the emperor isn`t wearing a stich of clothing, and certainly not a clerical collar. Mayor Pete is spot on, it`s hard to consider Trump`s racist comments, mean-spirited tweets, and evil policies, and come to the conclusion that he believes in God.

The essence of Christianity is to love God and to love your neighbor as you love yourself, and the Gospels elaborate that neighbors include social outcasts, the poor and strangers in the land (immigrants). Trump may love his neighbors who live in his tony zip code, but he expresses nothing but disdain and disgust for the working class and poor.

To be a Christian means to humble yourself before a deity who`s omnipotent and omniscient, and Trump a most imperfect man doesn`t humble himself before anyone or anything.

I don`t care for a politician who wears his religion on his sleeve, but by the same token liberals shouldn`t cede Christianity to white evangelicals.

White evangelicals pervert the teachings of the Bible and dedicate themselves to preaching against abortion and homosexuality. The Bible is silent on the subject of abortion, and Jesus didn`t have Jack to say about homosexuality.

I consider Mayor Pete`s humanitarian immigration policy, his health plan that benefits the poor and sick, and his gracious demeanor and I say to myself: Now there`s a real Christian.

Mayor Buttigieg: It’s Hard to Look at Trump’s Actions and Think He Believes in God

Creepy Joe Biden is Dead Man Walking

Joe Biden is dead man walking, the only question is whether he will do the right thing and decline to run for president or enter the race and be forced out after the inevitable gaffes and parade of groping victims shame him into retirement.

This isn`t an editorial written by a conservative desperate to destroy the leading Democratic challenger to Trump, this is an essay penned by a liberal, but most importantly a human being, who despises men who grope, and otherwise disrespect, women and underage girls.

Biden is dead meat, and Democrats would we well-advised to bury him, and champion presidential candidates who aren`t burdened with his excessive baggage.

Democrats are blessed with a plethora of attractive, qualified and charismatic candidates: Mayor Pete, Senator Cory Booker, Senator Kamala Harris, former Gov. John Hickenlooper, ex-San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, former Rep. John Delaney, former tech executive Andrew Yang and author Marianne Williamson.

These are all excellent presidential candidates who can thrive in the #metoo era, and defeat Donald Trump. I will extoll the virtues of these worthy candidates, while at the same time warn Democrats not to waste their treasure and energy propping up an old fossil.

How can we condemn Trump for his myriad transgressions, including his sexually predatory nature, while turning a blind eye to Biden`s decades-long history of groping women, and most troublesome, underage girls.

Repulsive Mike Huckabee Defends Creepy Joe Biden

Creepy Uncle Joe

Mike Huckabee is physically repulsive and spiritually depraved, he condemns and ridicules anyone who doesn`t subscribe to his Neanderthal evangelical faith.

His children inherited his homely looks and his cold-hearted religion. When his son David was 17-years-old he viciously killed a stray dog that had wandered onto the grounds of a Boy Scout camp where he was working as a counselor. David didn`t outgrow his violent disposition, when he was 26 he was arrested in a Little Rock airport when he attempted to board a plane carrying a loaded Glock pistol.

Of course we are all familiar with his daughter, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who has the same sweet disposition as her daddy and brother, and kills the truth on a daily basis.

The last thing Joe Biden needs right now as he is getting ready to announce his presidential candidacy in the midst of allegations of improper touching by Lucy Flores and other women is any support from Huckabee. In fact, when Huckabee defended Biden he very well may have put an end to the serial groper`s presidential aspirations.

This is what Huckabee had to see on the Fox Business Network:

“Well, it is creepy. But I have to say, I don`t think Joe Biden is a sexual predator. I think he`s a creepy old guy who is a little hands-on and all that. Biden`s behavior can`t be that bad because he was doing them in public. It wasn`t like he invited women up to a hotel room or office by himself. This is stuff he did with a thousand cameras on him and he did it anyway.”

That`s one way of looking at it, but I wonder what the hell Biden does to his great-nieces and great-granddaughters in private if he has the nerve to grope underage girls in public before the cameras.

Huckabee has done very little good in his public in his public life, but let`s hope that at least he`s put an end to Biden`s presidential dreams.

Lucy Flores Incident Isn’t an Aberration! Joe Biden Has Groped Dozens of Women and Underage Girls!

Pervert

Joe Biden leads all of the polls by virtue of his name recognition, and it helps that he hasn`t uttered a word as an official candidate. But as soon as he announces that he`s running his ratings will plummet — his gaffes will inevitably derail his candidacy.

Biden has often been compared to Hamlet for his indecisiveness, but he possesses none of the eloquence of Shakespeare`s protagonist. He is a bungling idiot whose foot invariably finds itself in his mouth, and whose hands invariably find themselves groping women and underage girls.

Biden has teased and toyed with the idea of running for president, seemingly forever. He`s talked about how close he is getting to making a decision, last I heard he was 95 percent certain of entering the fray. His supporters, donors and political operatives are desperately waiting for him to declare his candidacy.

But still nothing. Biden must be at home fiddling with his Camaro or diddling a young niece or great granddaughter.

While Biden is doing his Hamlet “to be or not to be act” his political career as a serial groper is crashing down on him.

Lucy Flores alleges that at a campaign even in 2014, when she was running for lieutenant governor, Biden accosted her from behind. The creep inhaled her hair, and planted a big sloppy kiss on the back of her head.

The Flores incident isn`t an aberration, Biden is a serial groper and there are dozens of women, and more disturbingly, underage girls that he has groped and otherwise sexually assaulted in his decades long career as a politician.

I`m hoping and praying that the #metoo movement will destroy his candidacy before it gets off the ground.

A 2020 face-off between serial sexual predator Donald Trump and serial molester of young girls Joe Biden will mean the end of our democracy.

Joe Biden’s Penchant for Pawing Underage Girls is a Disqualifier

In 2007 before he totally flamed out of the presidential race Joe Biden “complimented” Barack Obama:

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that`s a storybook, man.”

The guy is a gaffe machine, his foot is always in his mouth and his hands are always caressing underage girls.

That statement could have been uttered by a White Nationalist, but Biden usually gets the benefit of the doubt from the mainstream press that`s transfixed by his quirky albeit creepy personality.

It`s 2019 and Biden still has that glint in his eye, your guess is as good as mine, if it indicative of presidential ambitions or a craving for young girls.

Most political pundits expect Biden to finally enter the presidential race sometime in April. It`s been reported that he is mulling over choosing Stacey Abrams as his vice presidential running mate. Abrams is Biden`s kind of African American: articulate, bright, clean and a nice-looking gal.

Actually Abrams is considering a presidential run herself, and I hope she doesn`t damage her credibility by considering Biden as her running mate.

Biden knows that his time has come and gone: he`s too moderate, too freaking old, and too much of a sexual pervert to run for the Democratic presidential nomination in this woke generation. But I must concede that he would make an excellent Republican presidential candidate.

Biden`s despicable and transparent attempt to appear relevant by invoking the name of a black woman as a possible running mate, is proof positivethat the old fossil should be buried once and for all.

Joe Biden is the Creepy Uncle of the Democratic Party!

Creepy Uncle Joe

Almost every family has a creepy uncle whose presence we tolerate only on Thanksgiving and Christmas. In order to keep the family peace and appease grandma and grandpa the creepy uncle is invited to holiday dinners, but we make sure he`s never alone with any of the children.

Y`all know what I`m talking about, this cretin doesn`t understand the concept of personal space, and he makes us feel dirty and violated by his mere presence.

The safety and well-being of our children should take precedence over family dynamics and the proverbial creepy uncle should always be treated as persona non grata.

Why should we care about the feelings of this touchy-feely psycopath when he demonstrates no empathy for the nieces that he hugs and little bit too closely and the toddlers and young children that he plays with a little bit too exuberantly?

In this “#metoo” era we should have zero tolerance for the creepy uncle who always ruins our holidays.

Joe Biden is the creepy uncle of the Democratic Party, it`s an open secret that he never misses an opportunity to kiss a young girl. Do a Google Image search of “Joe Biden kissing” and you will see multitudes of images of him getting uncomfortably close with women and especially underage girls.

Biden`s enablers will protest that that`s just “Joe being Joe,” but there should be no room in the Democratic Party for a man who has a suspect attraction to young girls. How can we condemn Trump`s predatory sexual behavior if we turn a blind eye to Biden`s creepiness bordering on child molestation?

Donald Trump Jr. Shares Pornhub Meme of His Dad! Who Does That?

We are living proof that sometime, at least in the distant past our parents had sex, but the thought of our parents having sex renders us nauseous. For the sake of my mental well-being I still cling to my childhood belief that the stork delivered me to my parents` home.

The Trumps are a dysfunctional family, and Don Jr. has no reservations about imagining his father having sex, in fact he even posted a Pornhub meme on Instagram about dear old dad fuc*ing the entire Democratic Party.

Imagining my parents doing the nasty is a wet dream compared to imagining the Orange Baboon having sex with anyone. The horror! The horror!

Clearly Donnie was alluding to the release of the summary of the Mueller Report which cleared his father of collusion, but he could have made his point without making us want to vomit.

Anyways, we don`t need to be reminded that Trump is screwing the Democrats, hell he`s screwing the entire county. Trump may only be packing a tiny mushroom pecker, but he`s screwed over the entire country with that nasty little thing.

Donald Trump’s Hateful Rhetoric is Poisoning our Democracy

It`s been three years since Donald Trump descended the golden ecalator at Trump Tower to announce his candidacy for President of the United States.

This wasn`t a god descending Mount Olympus to impart his heavenly wisdom with mere mortals. Hardly. In Trump`s Presidential Announcement Speech he vilified Mexican immigrants, referring to them as rapists and criminals. In the intervening months and years his vulgar, coarse and hateful rhetoric hasn`t mellowed.

I don`t expect every president to have the eloquence of a Kennedy, the genteel charm of a Reagan, or the professorial authority of an Obama, but I do expect a president to exercise a modicum of civility.

But that ain`t how Trump rolls, he traffics in conspiracy theories, engages in racist tropes and sprinkles his speeches with obscenities.

Trump cultists excuse his buffoonery and spitefulness by saying that it`s just Trump being Trump. They counsel us to look past his shtick and consider the substance of the man. But beneath the shtick there`s no substance or gravitas. Underneath Trump`s clownish veneer beats the heart of an authoritarian who delights in demeaning and degrading everyone who doesn`t go along with his patently racist executive orders and mean-spirited tweets.

Trump`s hateful rhetoric in his speeches and tweets aren`t just a harmless quirk that we can ignore. His divisive, racist and vulgar rhetoric cheapens the office of the president of the United States, demoralizes the electorate, weakens the rule of law, and ignites racial tensions.

Woe is unto us if we excuse or normalize Trump`s noxious rhetoric, it`s incumbent upon patriots to denounce his every racist statement and every hateful tweet.

Most importantly come 2020 we must vote him out of office, and retire him to Mar-a-Lago where he can vent his nonsense and racism all he wants to without having a national platform.

Mike Pence the Homophobe Meets Openly Gay Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar

Vice President Mike Pence is the face of homophobia and intolerance, the most important persons in his life share his revulsion of gays and lesbians: Trump and Mother.

The notorious homophobe`s wife works at a so-called Christian school that bans members of LGBTS communities.

As a real estate developer and reality TV entertainer Trump was gay-friendly in speech and substance, after all most gays are unencumbered with children and they have the financial means to afford his condos and apartments. And in the entertainment business he met many gay and lesbian artists and discovered that they are normal human beings, no better and no worse than anyone else.

Trump doesn`t share the religiously based animus towards gays and lesbians as his vice president, but since taking office he has pursued a virulently anti-gay agenda to pander to his evangelical base.

Pence had the chutzpah to invite Ireland`s openly gay Prime Minister Leo Varadkar to his official residence for a visit. Pence was probably clutching a cross with one hand and a four-leaf clover with the other to protect him from any possible sexual advance from the Irish Prime Minister.

When reporters asked Varadkar how he felt about being so close to a politician who views homosexuality as a sin and works against the interests of gays and lesbians, he didn`t hold back:

“I lived in a country where if I`d tried to be myself at the time, it would have ended up breaking laws.

I stand here as the leader of my country. Flawed and human, but judged by my political actions, not by my sexual orientation, my skin tone, gender, or religious beliefs.”

We are, after all, all God`s children.”

Bravo! That`s what we Americans call speaking truth to power! If only Pence possessed such remarkable courage and admonished his boss whenever he made a racist statement or attacked someone on Twitter.

Kid Rock and Donald Trump: Dumb and Dumber

“Kid Rock`s gleeful pose with Donald Trump on the links at Mar-a-Lago didn`t go over very well on Twitter.

Fans mocked Rock`s goofy flag pants and his choice of golf partners. Some wondered what Trump was doing playing golf Saturday in the middle of his declared “national emergency” at the southern border. Others were perplexed that Trump has a conniption fit when football players take a knee during the national anthem to protest racial injustice, but apparently found those pants perfectly okay.”

Huffington Post

A true patriot doesn`t wear patriotism on his sleeve, he won`t install a 20-foot flagpole on his front yard and he won`t festoon his vehicle with patriotic bumper stickers.

He will demonstrate his patriotism and love for his country by paying his taxes, voting on a regular basis, giving generously to charities and welcoming immigrants to the land of opportunity for all.

Then there are the yahoos like Donald Trump and Kid Rock who make a Hollywood production out of their expressions of patriotism. Trump has a penchant for dry-humping Americans flags on stage, and Kid Rock routinely wears attire featuring the American flag and the Confederate flag. A genuine patriot would never honor the Confederate flag, but that fodder for another article.

It`s par for the course for golfers to wear goofy pants, but Kid Rock`s American flag pants are an affront to fashion sensibilities and an insult to our democracy.

In the 1990`s Kid Rock achieved success as a rapper and in the 2000`s as a rock star, but recently the hits have been few and far between. Today Kid Rock is trying to achieve legitimacy primarily as a country artist, and he believes that by palling around with Trump and waving the American flag he will be accepted by fans of Country music.

I doubt that Kid Rock will achieve the same kind of success as a country artist, that he enjoyed as a rapper and rocker, but I do know that his clownish antics of late have made him an embarrassment to fans of all genres of music.

Kitty the Cat and Leila the Chihuahua: A Love Story! Video!

“An unlikely duo at MSPCA-Angell`s animal shelter in Boston is hoping to be adopted together after they were surrendered in the same crate.

A cat named Kitty and her Chihuahua best friend Leila were surrendered to the Jamaica Plain animal shelter on March 14 after their owners lost their home and could not find a new place to accommodate the pets.

The pet pair`s bond is so paws-itively unique and true, that the two were even surrendered to the shelter in the same pet carrier.”

NECN

A friendship rarely blossoms between a cat and a dog, the natural state of affairs is them being at each other`s throats.

If you put a cat and a dog in the same pet carrier mayhem and perhaps murder will soon ensue.

But a cat named Kitty and dog named Leila were surrendered to an animal shelter in the same crate. It turns out that these adorable creatures are best buddies, and the animal shelter is trying to find an owner that will adopt them as a pair.

The Palestinians and the Israelis may never live side by side in peace, and Trump supporters and Democrats may never hold hands and sing Kumbaya, but the friendship between Kitty and Leila gives me hope that humans can resolve some of their differences.

Donald Trump Keeps Punching the Corpse of John McCain

Donald Trump is infamous for being a counterpuncher, for every perceived slight he responds with a flurry of haymakers.

But Trump`s favorite mode of attack isn`t a jab or a haymaker, he`s the master of the downward punch.

When you`re the Leader of the Free World you should be very judicious when and how, and indeed if you punch back, because every punch will be a downward punch. Trump excels at criticizing and ridiculing individuals and communities that are in a position of social, political, or economic weakness.

Trump isn`t content to punch the little guy, he prefers to punch someone who can`t punch back. For almost two years Trump relentlessly attacked Special Counsel Robert Mueller, knowing that he was legally prohibited from responding to any criticism.

But now Cadet Bone Spurs has found his perfect victim: John McCain, a war hero who died eight months ago. When McCain was alive he wasn`t afraid to criticize Trump`s comments and policies, but now that he`s dead he can`t punch back, thus he makes the perfect punching bag.

In a sense McCain is still alive in Trump`s brain, our fearless speaker speaks about McCain in the present tense, as if the cantankerous maverick was still in the Senate turning his thumb down at all his ridiculous proposals.

Every time Trump attacks McCain he succeeds only in diminishing his own reputation and legitimacy, and reminding us of the heroism and integrity of the recently departed war hero.

Mike Gravel for President of the United States

There are a hundred and one reasons why Donald Trump shouldn`t be president of the United States, and we often overlook one disqualifying factor: his age.

The septuagenarian president has been in re-election mode since his inauguration, and the two leading Democratic challengers (former vice president Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders) will be in their late seventies by 2020.

It`s not ageist to point out the obvious: if your daily routine includes putting on a fresh pair of adult diapers you are too freaking old to hold the most stressful job in the world.

The aforementioned septuagenarians better make way for an octogenarian that has just joined the crowded Democratic presidential field, former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel.

Gravel, 88, is as energetic as Beto, minus the spastic arm waving, and he`s full of piss and vinegar — eager to shake up the Democratic primary season.

Gravel announced his candidacy not by Telegram but via a tweet:

The goal will not be to win, but to bring a critique of American imperialism to the Democratic debate stage.

How refreshing that from the outset Gravel publicly acknowledges that he doesn`t have a snowball`s chance in hell of winning.

The Eleventh Commandment was a phrase used by President Ronald Reagan during his 1966 campaign for Governor of California. The Commandment reads: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. The Democratic presidential hopefuls have adopted this motto for the 2020 election cycle, they refuse to criticize each other.

Gravel not so much!

This is what he had to say about Rep. Tulsi Gabbard:

She is a wonderful public servant, and she and I agree on many issues. That being said, her campaigning has been ineffective, her stance on Israel needs tweaking, and she lacks the bluntness necessary to get the message across.

He may actually have done Gabbard a favor by reprimanding her, she`s such a non-entity that hardly anybody mentions her.

Gavel cut Senator Amy Klobuchar to shreds with this withering tweet:

@amyklobuchar it`s hard to fight the big tech firms that abuse American workers when you also like to abuse American workers.

Gravel is as old school as a dinosaur and he isn`t afraid of being called sexist by politically-correct wimps for condemning Klobuchar for the horrible way she treats her staff.

Gravel ridiculed Sen. Cory Booker`s Spartacus moment during the Kavanaugh hearing.


Spartacus moment. This is me, in 1971, reading the Pentagon Papers into the record for hours on end, risking expulsion from the Senate. That`s real courage, Cory.`

He reserved his most potent vitriol for former vice president Joe Biden:

I sure do hope the faucets at @JoeBiden`s house are strong, with the amount of Iraqi blood on his hands.

We don`t need old codgers the likes of Trump, Biden and Sanders running for president, but thank God Gravel is running, he`s destined to make the 2020 presidential race entertaining and educational.

Is Beto O’Rourke Hot or is He Just a Tall Dork?

Discussion of powerful female politicians often devolves into a debate over their physical attributes.

What`s good for the goose is good for the gander, so let`s discuss Beto O`Rourke`s physical appearance, especially considering the most striking quality about him is his energetic physical presence. To declare that Beto is like a dervish on crack is the understatement of the 2020 presidential campaign.

Beto is generally considered attractive, and I agree that he`s attractive in a Robert Kennedy sort of way. Robert didn`t possess the matinee idol good looks of his brothers John and Ted, but he had enough resemblance to his siblings to be considered handsome or at least semi-good looking.

Compared to politicians the likes of Ted (Zodiac Killer) Cruz and Donald (Orange Orangutan) Trump Beto is a rock star, but does he have enough physical charisma to compensate for his inexperience, arrogance and lack of a coherent political platform?

Beto stands above the crowded Democratic presidential field, because he`s so darn tall. But tall stature isn`t synonymous with physical attractiveness, in my opinion he`s just a tall dork. Case in point Paul Ryan, I don`t know anyone who considers the Eddie Munster looking putz hot.

I`m neither female nor gay and maybe women and gay men find the Texas politician hot; I`d love to hear your take on him. I don`t want to hear from freaks who equate power with sex appeal and froth over any powerful politician, regardless of gender.

I`m not going to vote based on physical attractiveness, after all I was for Bernie in 2016, but I am curious. Please send me a tweet or an email?

Donald Trump Gets an Earful at St. John’s Episcopal Church

“When President Donald Trump made a rare appearance at church on Sunday, he heard a pointed message from the minister: call out hate speech whenever you hear it because it`s a sin against the Gospel.

The entreaty to rebut the type of language and mentality that spurred a gunman in New Zealand to open fire on mosques last week came from Rev. W. Bruce McPherson, who delivered Sunday`s sermon at historic St. John`s Episcopal Church, situated just across a small park from the White House.”

CNN

Donald Trump isn`t a regular churchgoer, he attends services on Christmas, Easter, and for state funerals. The short-fingered vulgarian would attend church more regularly if the ushers were buxom young ladies who leaned in real close to collect the offerings from the faithful.

On Sunday Trump was moved by the spirit to attend church, unfortunately for him he made the mistake of attending a mainline Protestant church instead of an evangelical church where he would have been welcomed as the Messiah.

The Rev. W. Bruce McPherson of St. John`s Episcopal Church spoke truth to power, he delivered a searing sermon on calling out hate speech. If only Trump`s inner circle and Republican leaders had the holy boldness to rebuke him for failing to condemn White Nationalism in the wake of the New Zealand mosque massacre.

Thank God that there are still some outposts of real Christianity in the age of Trump. Thank God that there are still some true prophets of God who speak truth to power and speak out on behalf of the powerless. Thank God that there are still ministers who preach the message of love from the Gospels instead of preaching hate by focusing on the handful of Old Testament verses that prohibit acts of homosexuality.

I would urge Christians to shun churches where the vulgar, obscene racist Trump is welcomed with open arms. I would urge Christians to avoid churches were fetuses are adored and poor children are neglected and ignored. I would plead with Christians not to attend churches where the kind of people Jesus ministered to (migrants, the poor, social outcasts) aren`t accepted.

Let me break it down, screw Trump-loving white evangelical places of worship and attend an enlightened and loving temple like the historic St. John`s Episcopal Church.

Beto O’Rourke: I Was Born to Run! Actually He Was Born to Drown in White Privilege!

As the scion of a billionaire businessman and as a former hacker and punk rocker Robert (Beto) O`Rourke was born to be a digital currency entrepreneur or an alternative music festival organizer.

But the three-term congressman feels he was born to be the president of the United States. His main claim to fame and political legitimacy is that he lost his bid to unseat Senator Ted Cruz last November.

In spite of Beto`s paltry political resume he considers himself presidential timber because he`s charismatic, tall, boyishly handsome and WHITE. Social media aptitude, fundraising prowess, and a winsome smile is not synonymous with presidential gravitas.

In the least surprising development of the nascent 2020 Democratic Party primary season, Beto finally declared his candidacy with a video that was heavy on gesticulating and light on substance.

In his announcement video Beto is gesticulating wildly with one arm while his longsuffering wife is clutching his other one. Her main function seems to be to keep him from flying away or at least to restrain his flight of rhetorical fancy. He seems oblivious to his spouse`s presence, he doesn`t look in her direction, his focus is on the camera.

On the campaign trail Beto joked that his wife Amy raised their three children, sometimes with my help. He quickly apologized for his politically-incorrect joke, but the fact remains that she is raising their children by herself while he`s on his vanity tour.

In the current Vanity Fair issue Beto appears on the cover (photo by Annie Leibovitz) and in the accompanying interview white privilege oozes out of him when he states that he was “born to do this.”

Maybe so, but Senator Kamala was also born to run. Ditto, Senator Cory Booker and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro.

I might hire Beto as a scarecrow or as a windmill of sorts to power my house, but I`m voting for a seasoned and qualified candidate and a legitimate progressive like Kamala Harris. She was born to run and to win.

Cat Ladies are the Last Hope of Humanity!

In days gone by young women lived in fear that they would die a spinster or old maid. Their version of happiness and fulfillment was spawning a brood of bouncing baby boys and adorable baby girls.

In the age of climate change, overpopulation, and not to mention feminism, women don`t judge their self-worth by how many children they have. Children are viewed as an infection, rather than as a blessing from God, by a growing number of enlightened individuals.

Today women fear that they will become cat ladies, “OMG I`m going to be a cat lady” a woman wails when she`s 30-something and still single. Cat ladies – who are just single older ladies with felines — represent abject failure in the eyes of young women.

But cat ladies shouldn`t be looked down upon with disdain or sympathy, they deserve our respect for realizing that a small fluffy kitten will give them more comfort, companionship and fulfillment than any man or woman ever could.

They also deserve our gratitude for not giving birth to greedy insatiable little monsters who pollute the Earth and kill off thousands of other species of living creatures.

Indeed I would urge all women and men to save the Earth, and forgo having any children, and adopt a kitten or a puppy from an animal shelter instead.

God save cat ladies, they are the hope of humankind!

Donald Trump’s Tepid Response to New Zealand Massacre Proves He’s a Racist

Racist-in-Chief

When tragedy strikes whether in the homeland or somewhere else in the global village, the president in his role as comforter-in-chief soothes our anxiety and fear with soothing words.

President Donald Trump has the best words, but in times of turmoil his tweets and comments always inflame rather than soothe the national psyche.

When White Nationalists, Nazis and assorted racist scum paraded their racism for all the world to see in Charlottesville, instead of uniting our country with words of condemnation for bigotry and racism, Trump made things exponentially worse with his despicable “good people on both sides” rhetoric.

In the aftermath of the horrible massacre in New Zealand when a white nationalist gunned down dozens of Muslims while they were worshipping in a mosque, Trump once again failed to call out white nationalism.

Here`s Trump`s tepid response to the abominable act of terrorism, via a tweet:

“My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques. 49 innocent people have so senselessly died, with so many more seriously injured. The U.S. stands by New Zealand for anything we can do. God bless all!”

Later in remarks in the Oval Office, he said:

“I spoke with Prime Minister Ardern of New Zealand to express the sorrow of our entire nation following the monstrous terror attacks at two mosques.”

Trump didn`t express empathy or solidarity with the Muslim community in America and around the world, and he didn`t explicitly condemn white nationalism. Granted Trump is a psychopath incapable of empathy, but he should have forced himself to fulfill his responsibility as comforter-in-chief.

Less than 24 hours after the terrorist slaughtered 49 Muslim worshippers at two mosques in New Zealand and posted a manifesto online citing the “invasion of France and the West by nonwhites” our fearless leader had this to say:

“People hate the word `invasion,` but that`s what it is. It`s an invasion of drugs, criminals, & people…in some cases, they are killers.”

Trump boldly echoed the rhetoric of white nationalists by referring to hardworking immigrants as “invaders.” Trump utterly failed to moderate his language given the rise in violence and terrorism by white racists all over the world.

You don`t need to be a member of the “Southern Poverty Law Center” to deduce that Trump is an implacable racist. By word, deed, executive action and policy Trump has proven that he is racist to the core, and it is incumbent upon all Americans who hate racism and bigotry to remove him from office by any means necessary.

Dick Cheney Reams Mike Pence

Evangelical Creep

“A large group of conservative donors and scholars were shocked last weekend after a friendly exchange between Vice President Mike Pence and Dick Cheney, the former vice president, turned tense.

Cheney, a fierce defender of the foreign policy of President George W. Bush, politely questioned the approach of Pence`s boss, President Donald Trump, on foreign policy and national security.”

CNN

Actually by most accounts the “friendly exchange” was more like a grilling, Cheney accused the Trump administration of treating American foreign policy like a “New York real estate deal,” and he demanded answers from the hapless Pence.

The current vice president is normally mild-mannered and even-tempered but he`s a loyal lieutenant and he vociferously defends his boss`s contradictory and irrational domestic and foreign policies.

Most Republican leaders are too afraid to confront Trump, so they take out their frustrations on Pence, they rightly deduce that a milquetoast whose nose is perpetually brown is just going to stand there like a mannequin and take it.

I rarely find common ground with Darth Vader, but Cheney is spot-on: Trump treats foreign policy like a “New York real estate deal.”

When deciding what action to take in hot spots around the globe the stable genius doesn`t take geopolitical concerns or our democratic values into consideration, he merely does a cost-benefit analysis.

Take Syria for example, Trump wanted to remove our troops from the god-forsaken country immediately and precipitously as a cost-saving measure. He didn`t consult with our allies, and he was willing to leave the Kurds to the tender mercies of the brutal Turkish army.

Nobody treats Pence with the deference due a vice president, and he`s in for at least two more years of Cheney-like attacks.

But reaming Pence is as challenging as taking candy from a baby. I wish Republican politicians would grow some gonads, and attack Trump directly for destroying their party and doing indelible harm to our democracy.

OMG! Can You Imagine Donald Trump as an Airline Pilot?

In the aftermath of an Ethiopian Airlines crash that killed all 157 passengers on board, the stable genius offered his ideas on improving airline safety.

We might be wise listen to the owner of defunct Trump Airlines, the shuttle service that operated flights from LaGuardia Airport to Logan International Airport and Ronald Reagan Airport.

Maybe not, after all the fuc*ing moron bankrupt Trump Airlines in less than five years due to his mismanagement and incompetence.

Here`s what the engineer-in-chief had to say, on Twitter of course:

Airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly. Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT. I see it all the time in many products. Always seeking to go one unnecessary step further, when often old and simpler is far better. Split second decisions are….

… needed, and the complexity creates danger. All of this for great cost yet very little gain. I don`t know about you, but I don`t want Albert Einstein to be my pilot. I want great flying professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control of a plane!

We don`t need Albert Einstein or a computer scientist from MIT flying commercial airplanes, and we also don`t need tips from a businessman who has several bankruptcies under his belt telling us how to run an airliner or any other business.

I wouldn`t be surprised if Trump petitions the FAA to reduce cruising altitude from 35,000 feet to five thousand feet so commoners will be able to read the Trump logo when he`s flying one of his private jets.

Can you imagine Trump as an commercial airline pilot?

I`d like to welcome the ladies and gentlemen on first class, never mind the losers flying coach.

My copilot for this flight is Mike Pence, his primary responsibility is serving me coffee and fluffing my hair. But in case of an emergency, the Holy Roller will recite a prayer over the PA system.

But don`t worry! This will be a beautiful flight, believe me! I will probably set a world record getting you to your destination.

To reduce tension and anxiety feel free to flirt with all the stewardesses, believe me, they are all hot! I picked the bitches myself!

I`d like to ease your mind by informing you that there are no therapy animals onboard this flight, crapping and pissing all over the cabin. God, how I hate puppies, kittens and all fluffy animals that losers and mental cases rely on for comfort.

Pence you moron! Wait until I get up to stretch my legs before you try to kiss my ass. Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, it`s so hard to get good help these days.

Thank God Trump isn`t a pilot, engineer or anything having to do with the airline business.

Stable Genius Donald Trump Calls Apple CEO Tim Cook ‘Tim Apple’

Tim Apple

At a meeting of the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board Donald Trump called Apple CEO Tim Cook “Tim Apple.”

Here`s the actual quote:

“We`re going to be opening up the labor forces because we have to. We have so many companies coming in. People like Tim – you`re expanding all over and doing things that I really wanted you to do right from the beginning. I used to say, `Tim, you gotta start doing it here,` and you really have you`ve really put a big investment in our country. We appreciate it very much, Tim Apple.”

Nobody present smiled or acknowledged Trump`s faux pas, after all he has a long history of butchering people`s names. The stable genius once referred to Melania Trump as “Melanie” on Twitter, he`s safe as long as he doesn`t call her “Stormy” during one of their annual intimate interludes.

Tim Cook wasn`t offended, in fact he playfully changed his name on Twitter to Tim and the Apple logo. Naturally, Trump haters on social media gave him a hard time, just like they do every time he says something stupid, racist or ignorant.

But Trump has such a thin orange skin that he just can`t let it go. At a meeting with donors he told them that what he actually said was “Tim Cook Apple” really fast and “Cook” was just really soft.

And today he tweeted:

“At a recent round table meeting of business executives, & long after formally introducing Tim Cook of Apple, I quickly referred to Tim + Apple as Tim/Apple as an easy way to save time & words. The Fake News was disparagingly all over this, & it became yet another bad Trump story!”

The hallmark of a pathological liar is that he can`t keep his story straight. I don`t know why the fuc*ing moron lied to cover up his gaffe, his critics know he`s a compulsive liar and his supporters don`t care. If Trump had called Cook “Johnny Appleseed” more than a few of his cultists would name their firstborn “Johnny Appleseed” in tribute to their Messiah.

If Trump doesn`t want to see another bad Trump story, he should try keeping his trap shut because nothing but obscenities, lies and nonsense emanates from his pie hole.
