Melania Trump Doesn’t Care

Donald Trump`s callous, cynical and inhumane immigration policy that separates children from their parents at the border is antithetical to the compassion and love of Jesus Christ as depicted in the Gospels. Trump`s evangelical base, for the most part, supports his immigration policies, but it`s anathema to most Americans, including many Republican Congressional leaders.

In an effort to put a human face on the administration`s immigration policy Melania Trump went to a Texas detention center. The incisive questions she posed to the staff demonstrated that she was well-versed on the subject, and her concern for the migrant children was manifest.

But the First Lady blasted the good optics of her trip to Texas by wearing a green, hooded military jacket with huge graffiti-style message that read: I really don`t care, do u?

When asked what message the first lady intended to send, spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said: “It`s a jacket. There was no hidden message. After today`s important visit to Texas, I hope the media isn`t going to choose to focus on her wardrobe. ”

Grisham is correct that there was no subliminal message, it was loud and clear: I really don`t care! Why did Melania choose to wear a heavy coat, in 80 degree heat no less, on a day when she was trying to show that she empathizes with the plight of migrant children?

This essay isn`t a critique of Melania`s fashion sensibilities, I don`t give a crap what designer she wears, it`s an indictment of the message written on the damn jacket.

“I really don`t care” is the mission statement of the Trump administration, the president and his cabinet don`t care about immigrants, the environment, women`s rights, gay and lesbian rights, to say nothing about our democratic institutions.

Melania, we get the message: You really don`t care.

End of An Era: The Jerry Springer Show is Ending Production

“The Jerry Springer Show, which ushered in an era of trash TV talk shows, is ending production after 27 years, according to reports.

Jerry Springer, a former Cincinnati mayor, started the show in 1991 as a thoughtful topic and issues show. The next year, production moved to Chicago and by 1994, the furniture throwing and fistfighting format was introduced.

Springfield News-Sun

After 27 years the Jerry Springer Show ends not with a bang but a whimper. I expected the venerable show to end with a pay-per-view battle royale featuring midget lesbian strippers, trailer park hoes sporting daisy duke shorts, blind anorexic models, line dancing obese hillbillies, and a transsexual who`s had multiple sex-change operations and doesn`t know whether to identify as a man, woman, or tree. Instead the iconic show ended with a nondescript press release.

As a political blogger my TV is always on CNN or MSNBC; I write a daily column and I need to keep abreast of politics and current affairs. But I take a break from cable news when Springer is on, I desperately need a diversion from the madness of real life.

Springer kept shi* real, he was in on the joke and unlike Maury Popvich he didn`t pretend to care about his guests. Springer was never intentionally cruel to his guests like a Morton Downey Jr., he gently mocked them. He left it to his audience to deliver the verdict on the sad cast of characters who appeared on his program. His audience was always brutally honest: Whore! Whore! Whore! They would scream at a 300-pound woman who flashed her sagging boobs.

I can`t imagine TV without Springer, that`s like a mega church without a pastor, an amusement park without a roller coaster or a brothel without a madam.

It`s appropriate that Springer ended during the Trump administration, after all how could his strippers, trailer park lovers and assorted freaks compete with the insanity of the White House?

There should be a national moment of silence or better yet a chant of “Jerry! Jerry! Jerry” as a tribute to Jerry Springer The Man, The Show, The Legend.

Patriotic Congressional Intern Shouts ‘F-You’ at Trump

“A Congressional intern yelled Mr. `President, F-k You` as President Trump walked through the Capital rotunda on his way Tuesday night for a talk with legislators about immigration.

The F-bomb incident was captured on video as the president walked through the Capital rotunda on his way to the meeting with GOP congressmen.”

The New York Post

If by happenstance you found yourself just a few yards away from Donald Trump as he quickly walked by on his way to a meeting, what if anything, would you say to him? Keep in mind that he`s going to be within earshot for just a few seconds, so your message must be concise.

Trump`s sycophants and enablers tickle his ears all day long and he doesn`t need to hear another compliment or his super-sized ego might burst.

Even if I was a lowly Congressional intern and any outburst directed at the president would mean the end of my career before it got started, I would curse him out.

This young woman, who has yet to be identified, is a patriot and if she`s fired I hope she`s offered an important position by a fellow patriot.

The Capitol Police are said to be on the lookout for her, but I`m not sure what they could charge her with, considering she was only exercising her First Amendment right of free speech.

I`m not a young intern, I`m an old fart who has been around the block a few times, and I`ve met many pompous jerks like Trump, and I know how to treat them.

I would yell an obscenity at Trump, knowing full well that it wouldn`t temper his behavior or cause him to reconsider his racist policies. But I would be satisfied knowing that the insult would penetrate his thin skin and bother him for the rest of the day. A monster like Trump doesn`t deserve a minute of peace.

Donald Trump Hugs American Flag! Disgusting!

“President Donald Trump paused to give the American flag a hug after giving a speech to business owners on Tuesday.

“The president, clapping as he walked off the stage at the National Federation of Independent Business to the Rolling Stones` `You Can`t Always Get What You Want,` opened his arms wide as he came to the flag and then hugged it.”

New York Post

“Refuge is the last refuge of a scoundrel”

Samuel Jackson

Trump likes to wrap himself in the American flag, while at the same time disrespecting everything that Old Glory stands for with his behavior and his policies.

The Orange Buffoon may not be a stable genius, but he`s a cynical genius at playing to his base. At every stump speech he flings enough red meat of xenophobia and misogyny to sate his base, and festoons the stage with enough patriotic trimmings to convince them that he`s a statesman and a patriot.

Naturally the morons erupted in wild applause when he hugged the flag after delivering his speech. These are the same simple-minded evangelicals who give their tithes and offerings to greedy televangelists.

I`m outraged watching our Nazi president hug our American flag, I would be less outraged if he pulled out his little pecker and pissed on the flag, because that`s what`s he`s really doing to our great democracy.

Melania Weighs In on Trump’s Inhumane Immigration Policy

“First Lady Melania Trump, an immigrant, hates to see other immigrants have their children ripped out of their arms and stored in former Walmarts.

The First Lady doesn`t typically descend from her tower to comment on the dirty world of politics, but apparently, the images of crying toddlers and stories of distraught parents committing suicide when their kids are taken away is just too much for the noted anti-cyberbullying expert to bear and she has made a rare statement.

`Mrs. Trump hates to see children separated from their families and hopes both sides of the aisle can finally come together to achieve successful immigration reform,` her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, told CNN Sunday. `She believes we need to be a country that follows all laws, but also a country that governs with heart.` Basically, she wants her husband`s administration to be best.”

Fast Company

Melania Trump rarely opines on current events or the policies of the White House, in fact we rarely hear a peep out of her on any subject. She`s so reticent she makes former First Lady Pat Nixon look like Chatty Cathy.

I can`t say that I blame Melania for keeping a low profile, English isn`t her first language. Melania`s handlers haven`t done her any favors by plagiarizing the speeches of Michelle Obama in preparing her own orations.

But Melania, an immigrant herself, has lent her voice to outraged citizens who vehemently oppose the Trump`s administration`s Nazi-like policy of separating immigrant children from their parents at the border.

Melania didn`t exactly speak truth to power, but her mild rebuke is nevertheless significant considering she`s married to the orange bastard.

The current FLOTUS joins her predecessors Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and Laura Bush in speaking out against the inhumane policy.

We aren`t married to Trump (Thank God), and we aren`t under any constraints, and it`s incumbent upon us to loudly condemn his barbaric policy in no uncertain terms.

What are you going to say when your grandchildren ask you what you did to oppose Trump`s oppressive regime?

When It’s 90+ Degrees, Asphalt Can Burn Your Dog’s Paws

It`s late June in Virginia, and that means that it`s sizzling outside, and most Virginians are cooling off in the comfort of their air-conditioned homes.

My dog, Mandy, loves to walk regardless if it`s snowing or sweltering outside, and I walk her almost every day of the year.

When I go walking with Mandy in the heat of the summer I keep in mind that dark colors absorb heat, thus I typically wear white shorts and white shirt.

But I`m also aware that the color black also applies to asphalt, and when it`s upwards of 90 degrees outside, asphalt can reach scorching temperatures of around 150 degrees. Needless say that can burn your doggie`s paws.

By all means walk your canine companion in the heat of the summer, but exercise caution by walking him on lawns as much as possible, and shortening your daily walk.

Clouds That Resemble Donald Trump an Internet Sensation

A man`s photos of clouds resembling Donald Trump are going viral on social media.

The menacing dark clouds capture the evil essence of Trump, there are dark clouds on the horizon and they threaten to destroy our democracy.

As alarming as they may appear the clouds will dissipate within a few minutes, unfortunately we still have at least two more years of the Trump tornado to endure.

The clouds wispy nature also speaks of the unsubstantial aspect of Trump`s persona, there`s no gravitas only racist, misogynist and hateful buffoonery that carries no weight.

You don`t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, and you don`t a political commentator to know that we`re in deep trouble until the Trump thunderhead can no longer be seen in our rear view mirror.

Trump Wants People to Sit Up at Attention for Him Like They Do for Kim Jong-un

“In a surprise interview with Fox and Friends on Friday, President Donald Trump announced live that he wants his people to sit up at attention when he speaks – the same way North Koreans do for dictator Kim Jong Un.

During the interview, the subject of Trump`s recent Singapore summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un arose. `He`s the head of a country. And I mean, he is the strong head,` Trump remarked. `Don`t let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.`”

When White House reporters later followed up on his comment, Trump said `I`m kidding, you don`t understand sarcasm.`”

TIME

Let`s parse Trump`s statement, it reveals his narcissistic and egomaniacal personality.

“He`s the head of a country. And I mean, he is the strong head. Don`t let anyone think different.”

Nobody thinks different. Everyone knows that Kim Jong-un isn`t just a “strong head,” but a ruthless tyrant who tortures, imprisons and starves his own people. Trump is the only one who thinks that the North Korean dictator is a “smart guy” and a “very talented man” who “loves his people.”

“He speaks and his people sit up at attention.”

Of course the terrorized citizens sit up at attention when their Dear Leader speaks, he sentenced people who didn`t cry at the funeral of his father Kim Jong-il to long sentences in a labor camp. But we live in a democracy, not in a dictatorship, and we aren`t about to sit up at attention whenever Trump babbles incoherently. A president who tramples on the Constitution, runs roughshod over the other co-equal branches of government, and condones racism and misogyny doesn`t deserve any respect.

“I want my people to do the same.”

Trump isn`t my president, and we aren`t his people. We are citizens in a democracy, not subjects in a monarchy or slaves in a dictatorship.

“I`m kidding, you don`t understand sarcasm.”

Trump may or may not have been kidding, but one thing is clear his so-called joke reveals his demented personality that craves adulation. We understand humor, and we understand that Trump is the biggest joke in the world.

Jim Carrey Painting Depicts ‘Calvin’ Peeing on Donald Trump’s Grave! Bravo!

None of Jim Carrey`s films are considered a great work of art, but every time he posts a new drawing on Twitter he astounds the world of art with his brilliance, and delivers a gut punch to the corrupt Trump administration.

The actor turned artist, posted his latest masterpiece on Twitter Thursday. His new work depicts Calvin from the “Calvin and Hobbes” comic strip pissing on Trump`s grave.

Given Trump`s penchant for hiring prostitutes to perform golden showers, I would argue that pissing on his grave would be more appropriate than places a flower or an American flag. I won`t visit Trump`s grave without first drinking a gallon of water; I will show him proper respect.

Calvin mischievously peeing in various scenarios is a wildly popular meme, but this is perhaps the best appropriation of that meme.

Demonstrating that his way with words is as remarkable as his painting skills, Carrey captioned his painting with these words: Oh how I urine for this all to be over with.

Amen Brother, Amen!

Cat With Head Stuck in Jar of Mayo is Rescued

“An outdoor cat with a taste for mayonnaise had to be rescued after getting its head stuck in a Hellman`s jar, said officials of the Hunterdon County sanctuary that managed to corral the kitty and take it to a vet.

A passing motorist spotted the cat, a male thought to be less than a year old, on Friday with its head inside a glass Hellman`s Mayonnaise jar on a farm in Readington Township, said Danielle Rice, director of operations for Tabby`s Place, a cat sanctuary in the Ringoes section of East Amwell. It was freed from the jar, neutered, and set loose back on the farm Sunday.”

NJ.Com

A feline is an innately curious and mischievous creature, and the typical cat is always poking his little head where it doesn`t belong.

An outdoor cat with a yen for mayonnaise (must have been raised by white folks) had to be rescued after getting his head stuck in a Hellman`s jar.

Fortunately, a passing motorist spotted the hapless kitty, and took it to a vet.

The poor thing was freed from the jar, neutered, and set loose back on the farm.

The cat breathed a sigh of relief after it was freed, but shortly thereafter he was cursing God after his balls were snipped off. Talk about “out of the pot and into the frying pan.”

Poor, poor kitty! I hope somebody gives him tuna slathered in mayo.

Trump G7 Photo Becomes Internet Classic

“A viral photo of Angela Merkel and other world leaders standing over a seated Donald Trump at Friday`s G7 summit has been given the meme treatment on social media, with Twitter users quick to liken the image to everything from renaissance art to a scene from the Apprentice.

The G7 summit, which brought together world leaders from Germany, Japan, Canada, the US, Italy, France and the UK, was held in Charlevoix, Quebec, in Canada, over the weekend. This year`s summit had a particular focus on trade.

However, the enduring image from the summit was one in which divisions between the group were clear. The German chancellor`s office posted the striking picture to Instagram on Saturday with the caption: Day two of the G7 summit in Canada: spontaneous meeting between two working sessions.”

The Guardian

In the instantly iconic photograph German Chancellor and real Leader of the Free World Angela Merkel, with other world leaders surrounding her in a show of solidarity, stares down at a seated Donald Trump, who has his arms crossed in defiance and disdain.

Merkel is leaning forward getting in the face of Trump, as a school principal does when reprimanding an unruly student.

Her hands are pressing down on a table in fury, I can only hope that it was solid oak able to withstand such pressure.

Trump, the putative Leader of the Free World, has his arms crossed, and this posture serves several purposes. It hides his grotesquely small hands, it prevents Merkel from slapping them with a ruler, and it conveys defiance.

Merkel is staring directly at Trump, but he seems to be looking far off into the distance. He instinctively knows that he can`t withstand her withering glare, and he`s probably praying that he was back home where sycophants like Mike Pence look at him adoringly.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and dozens of tweets by Trump and millions of words by his supporters won`t change the message that this photo depicts: The G7 Summit was an unqualified disaster for Trump.

Child Molester Joe Biden Shouldn’t Run for President

“Former Vice President Joe Biden was confronted by a heckler about the women that Biden molested during Senate swearing in ceremonies at a book tour stop in Biden`s hometown over the weekend.

`What about the girls you molested on C-SPAN at the Senate swearing-in?` the heckler asked.

The crowd erupted into boos and demanded that the heckler leave immediately.”

NTK Network

There is no heir apparent on the Democratic side, and the field for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination is wide open. This has led to some characters out of left field, the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Alex Baldwin publicly mulling entering the race.

Then of course there`s always the usual suspects the likes of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden.

But in the #metoo era should be no room for a child molester like Joe Biden.

Biden had an illustrious career in the Senate, a successful stint as Obama`s Vice President, and he`s a liberal lion, but he`s a damn child molester.

There are countless videos on YouTube chronicling the depravity of Joe Biden as he gropes, fondles and molests young girls. If Biden publicly fondles young children, imagine what he does to them in private.

Biden`s enablers argue that he`s just a touchy-feely kind of guy, but if Biden got touchy-feely like that with my great niece, I would get touchy-feely with him with a baseball bat.

Thank God for the heckler who confronted Biden about his long history of molesting young girls. The partisan crowd quickly came to the defense of Biden, reminiscent of the way Trump`s supporters come to his defense when he`s accused of assaulting and groping women.

The last thing we should do is to replace a pussy-grabber with a child-fondling pervert

Robert De Niro Deserves Nobel Prize for Saying ‘F Trump’ at the Tony Awards

Silver Screen icon Robert De Niro received a standing ovation at the Tony Awards when he exclaimed, “First I wanna say, `F*ck Trump.” It`s no long `Down with Trump,` it`s F*ck Trump.”

Sometimes the eloquent words of a statesman like a Winston Churchill or a Barak Obama are needed when the West needs to be warned about an existential threat to democracy.

Sometimes the primal scream of a prophet is called for when a nation needs to wake up to the truth that the Barbarians aren`t at the gate, but in the halls of power.

De Niro is spot on, it`s no longer “Impeach Trump” or “Dump Trump,” but “F Trump!”

The time for civil debate with Trump supporters is over, they`ve had plenty of time to discern that the short-fingered vulgarian is unworthy of being dogcatcher, let alone the President of the United States. I might as well waste my time trying to convince a Nazi that Hitler wasn`t a good person.

When I see Trump my visceral reaction is: F Trump!

When I hear Trump speak my reaction is: F Trump!

When I hear a sycophant praise him my reaction is F Trump!

It`s a crying shame that CBS bleeped out De Niro`s shining moment. “F Trump” should be blaring from every public address system in America.

F Trump!

Pic of Kim Kardashian Meeting Donald Trump at the White House Proves We’re Living in a Simulation

If there is one image that encapsulates the absurdity of the Trump administration it`s the photograph of Donald Trump seated behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office, his dentures exposed in a rictus befitting a clown, a serial killer, or the crazy uncle who lives in the attic.

In my nightmares I run naked in the woods with Trump`s orange disembodied head attempting to chomp my pecker off, out of spite, jealousy or sheer mischief.

Reality queen Kim Kardashian is standing slightly behind him, wearing a more somber expression. Even the queen of reality TV seems to be cognizant of the absurdity of the situation. She is dressed in black, in a modest and conservative outfit that wouldn`t be out of place in Tehran or Riyadh.

The pic of Kardashian`s bare backside failed to break the Internet, but this image may break the Internet as well as the soul of our democracy.

Reality can`t get any more unreal than Kim Kardashian meeting with Donald Trump at the White House. Am I living in a computer simulation? Am I dead and in hell? Am I insane? This can`t be an LSD flashback, because I never dropped acid. But at this point I`m open to any explanation.

A few days ago, Trump said he would probably support a new bipartisan bill that would return decision-making on marijuana laws to individual states. That`s the least he can do, the only way we can cope with the unreality of the Trump age is by being high as a kite.

Marilyn Monroe Statue Near Stamford Church Draws Ire

“A 26-foot tall statue Marilyn Monroe statue recently installed in a Stamford, Conn. park is scandalizing locals – because the movie starlet`s derriere is pointed straight at a neighboring house of worship.

Artist Seward Johnson`s `Forever Marilyn` captures the moment from `The Seven Year Itch` where the actress holds down her white dress as air blows up from a subway grate.

In the film, only co-star Tom Ewell sees what`s under Monroe`s skirt, but in Johnson`s colossal interpretation her underwear-clad caboose is on full display to all viewers – especially to those visiting the nearby First Congregational Church.”

The New York Post

Some members of the First Congregational Church have their panties in a twist over the controversial statue, but they really need to exercise their God-given sense of humor.

Some members go as far as to suggest that the Marilyn Monroe statue was deliberately and strategically installed so that her rear end would point at their precious house of worship. Nonsense, it wasn`t the devil behind a scheme to moon a church, it was God Almighty encouraging the congregants to put down their Bibles for a moment and appreciate a divinely inspired work of art.

Marilyn Monroe`s iconic pose is as quintessentially American as a church steeple, and everybody in Stamford, believers and nonbelievers, should be grateful that this masterpiece graces their city.

Norwegian Company Gives Employees Paternity Leave for New Pets

“A Norwegian pet supply company is giving employees paid time off to bond with their new pets.

Musti Group, described as the largest pet supply company in the Nordic countries with more than 1,500 employees, began offering `pawternity leave` to employees, which consists of three paid days off when they acquire a new puppy or kitten.

Musti Group CEO David Rönnberg says the first few days a puppy is in a new home are vital to getting used to its new owner and environment.”

UPI

When I adopted a puppy from my local animal shelter I took a week`s vacation so I could bond with her, and in case there were any issues with my little doggie getting along with my other dog and cats.

Pawternity leave should be a standard fringe benefit in an employee`s compensation package, employers should do everything they can to encourage their employees to adopt cats and dogs.

“Bring your pet to work day” is a great first step but all employers, not just pet supply companies, should give their employees paid time off when they adopt a pet.

“Homeless animals outnumber homeless people 5 to 1.

Each year, approximately 2.7 million dogs and cats are killed every year because shelters are too full and there aren`t enough adoptive homes. Act as a publicist for your local shelter so pets can find homes.”

https://www.dosomething.org/facts/11-facts-about-animal-homelessness

Employers should be less generous with maternity leave, do we really need to encourage women to have more babies? The last thing this polluted and overpopulated world needs is another mouth to feed.

I don`t expect people to agree with my stance on maternity leave, but certainly any sensitive and compassionate individual will agree that we must do everything we can to persuade people to adopt pets from animal shelters.

If a pet supply company in America offered pawternity leave to their employees, I would buy all my pet supplies from them.

Brave David Rönnberg, you are a gentleman, scholar, and a real friend to animals.

Dude Discovers Mama Cat and Kittens Under His Bed

“A man in London has to adjust to life as a cat dad after discovering a cat – that is not his – had given birth to a litter of kittens under his bed.

He has made contact with Cat Protection in an attempt to find mother cat`s owner, aware of the fact that he may have to give up his newly found fur babies.”

News Hub

This News Hub article raises more questions than it answers. For starters, what was mama cat doing in this stranger`s home? Is she a cat burglar who sneaked into this dude`s house and decided that it would make a perfect home for her and her kittens?

You may also be wondering what took this guy so long to notice that a cat and her kittens were under his bed. This I can understand, I never vacuum or look under my bed, a family of raccoons could be living under there for all I know.

This fellow found himself in a unique situation, but he`s doing all the right things. He`s trying to find the owner of the cat, and he`s turned to Twitter for advice on how to take care of the little ones.

If he can`t find the mama cat`s owner, I hope he keeps her and the babies. It looks like he`s a terrific dad to his fur babies.

Meet Buff Cat, the Most Muscular Cat in the Universe

When I tell people that I have a Pit Bull/German Shepherd mix they seem impressed, but when I let them know that I also have two cats, they look at me askance as if I`m the biggest pussy … cat in the world.

But I think even Tico would give a wide berth to the Internet`s latest feline sensation, Buff Cat. This colossus has broad shoulders, and he looks like he lifts weights at the gym every day.

But he`s a big pussy cat and a hit with the ladies. Check out his pics and videos:

There Will be a Day of Reckoning for Donald Trump

On January 23, 2016, presidential candidate Donald Trump boasted that he could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and not lose voters.

At the time I remember thinking, “What a clown, his followers will soon grow weary with his act and abandon him in droves.”

Obviously I was wrong and Trump was remarkably prescient, the past two and a half years have proven that he can get away with anything, as long as he remains faithful to the evangelical agenda.

If Trump shot a hapless tourist in the middle of 5th Avenue, his supporters would praise him for his marksmanship, and demand that he be made an honorary sheriff.

On June, 2, 2018 Rudy Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor, boasted that if his boss shot former FBI Director James Comey in the Oval Office that he wouldn`t be indicted for the dastardly crime while still serving as president.

One bombastic dumbass trying to outdo another bombastic dumbass!

If Trump rapes or murders someone while he`s president, handcuffs will be slapped on him faster than Mike Pence can plant a big sloppy kiss on his fat butt.

The president isn`t above the law. The president can`t pardon himself. The president can`t get away with murder. A day of reckoning is coming, I just pray that it gets here sooner rather than later.

Mike Pence is an Abomination and an Affront to the Almighty

You don`t have to be a political science major, a historian or a particularly insightful individual to deduce that Donald Trump is a vulgar ignoramus who is an unqualified disaster as President of the United States.

Every day Trump perpetuates another outrage against the Constitution, common decency, and the rule of law. While white evangelicals pray that God will bless their Messiah, true Christians are praying that the Almighty will smite the Antichrist.

Mike Pence is the Vice President in no large part due to the recommendation of Paul Manafort, one of the slimiest political insiders in history.

Pence has been at the epicenter of the rise of Donald Trump to the White House almost from the start. The evangelical zealot was active in the Republican National Convention, where he was nominated, through the election campaign and let`s not forget that he was head of the transition, after Trump kicked Chris Christie to the curb. And of course he has been an eyewitness to all of the chaos and corruption of the past sixteen months of the Trump administration.

If anyone is aware of the moral depravity of the Trump administration, it`s Mr. Born Again, Mike Pence. Even though Trump`s behavior is antithetical to the teachings of Jesus Christ, you won`t find a more loyal supporter than Pence.

Pence is biding his time, hoping that when Trump leaves office, that he will be able to scrub off the filth, and run for president.

But even if he is successful, I have one question for the self-righteous creep: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Stings Like a Bee! Samantha Bee Calls Ivanka Trump a ‘Feckless C-Word’

“Samantha Bee had gone after Trump for failing to take action to stop the separation of undocumented families.

`Ivanka Trump, who works at the White House, chose to post the second most oblivious tweet we`ve seen this week,` Bee said on her show, `Full Frontal.` `You know, Ivanka, that`s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad`s immigration practices, you feckless c***!`

Bee added that the president listens to Ivanka and said that she should `Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to f***ing stop it. Tell him it was an Obama thing and see how it goes, OK?`”

CNN

The short-fingered vulgarian has coarsened public discourse so much that nobody was genuinely shocked or outraged when late-night comic Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a “feckless cunt.”

To be sure there was plenty of faux outrage from Trump`s supporters who take umbrage whenever anyone says anything uncomplimentary about Trump or any member of his crime family.

I can image the kitchen table conversation in the typical MAGA household:

Dad: How dare that lesbo feminist cunt attack our Aryan princess!

Mom: I know, Trump should order Michael Cohen to threaten the commie cunt!

Toddler: Cunt! Cunt! Cunt!

I think most people were puzzled by the adjective (feckless) that preceded the hateful word. Let`s rejoin that MAGA family:

Dad: Hey honey, what the hell does “feckless” mean anyway?

Mom: How the hell should I know, it took me five years to graduate from high school! Maybe it`s a French word, after all that Bee cunt was born in Canada.

Toddler: Cunt! Cunt! Cunt!

By the way “feckless” means lacking initiative or strength of character, and that`s an apt description of Ivanka.

Ivanka claims to be an advocate for women and children, but she lacks the moral fortitude to confront her father, and demand that he take decisive action to stop the separation of undocumented families.

I really don`t want to hear another word from feckless Trump supporters; they should focus their anger at their Messiah, after all he`s called women cunts on more than one occasion in public, and heaven knows how many times in private.

Donald Trump is a Liar

“Donald Trump is a liar. Not just in the sense that we are all fallible human beings who probably say things that aren`t true sometimes – he has made flagrant disregard for the truth a hallmark for his approach to business and politics.

He wrote about his strategic use of dishonesty in The Art of The Deal. He admitted to routinely lying about important matters in a sworn deposition. And of course it`s obvious to anyone who`s followed his political career that he has continued to exhibit a flagrant disregard for the truth as he pivoted from real estate developer to celebrity brand licenser to president. A core belief of his is that lying is a good way to get ahead, which is why he lies so much.

In addition to being a liar, Trump is unusually ill-informed about public policy for a president, so he plausibly says some things that aren`t true out of genuine lack of knowledge. This leads to a natural caution on the part of some journalists who cover the White House about calling a lie a lie, with phrases like `demonstrable falsehood` instead.”

Vox

All of us bend the truth sometimes, but our moral code, and societal expectations prevent us from becoming pathological liars. Sometimes it`s just more expedient to simply tell the truth, we don`t have to worry that we`ll forget which lie we told to which person.

Donald Trump is a liar is the same sense that Pol Pot was a murderer, Hitler was a racist, and Whitney Houston was a crackhead.

Deceit is the oxygen that flows in his veins, and feeds his demented mind.

If Trump stopped lying the orange pig would shrivel and die, truth is such a foreign element that his immune system wouldn`t be able to handle the truth.

Sometimes Trump`s lies are calculated, and sometimes they just fly out of his mouth without any forethought – dissembling is his default mode.

Trump is a sociopath, he doesn`t have any regrets or remorse about spinning untruths. In his mind his deceptions and misrepresentations are the truth, even if they are blatantly false to the average person.

There`s a debate in polite society whether to call Trump a liar or use a euphemism, allow me to explain where I stand on the issue.

We should always call a “spade a spade” and a liar a liar, and we shouldn`t have any false hopes that we will shame Trump into being more truthful. You`re not going to shame a prostitute by calling her a “freaking whore,” or a televangelist by calling him a “false prophet,” and you are certainly not going to shame Trump by calling him a pathological liar.

It`s incumbent upon pundits, politicians and preachers to speak the truth to power and call Trump a liar. We must label Trump a liar because as a society we must make it crystal clear that we won`t tolerate a serial liar. Every time we use a euphemism to describe a Trump whopper it diminishes us as a democracy that holds truth in high regard.

I know it`s tedious to call Donald Trump a liar every time he opens his mouth, but that`s our responsibility as journalists and bloggers.

Huskie Stuck on Roof Repays Firefighter with Doggie Kisses

“Even doggies need to be saved sometimes! This beautiful dog managed to get out onto the roof of his home thru an upstairs window. We received numerous calls but one concerned citizen, Phil Burke, discovered him early on and notified us. Another awesome citizen stood by with the dog until we could arrive on scene! Officer McDonald, in conjunction with the Wells Fire Department, worked together to rescue him! Thank you to all that called and helped save him.”
Wells Maine Police Facebook Page

Firefighters usually rescue cats from trees, not dogs from the roof of a house. When firefighters rescue a kitty who is stuck on a tree, the pet owner may be eternally grateful, but the cat is more likely to scratch his rescuer than to shower him with kisses.

But this beautiful Huskie was quick to show his appreciation, planting sweet slobbery kisses on the brave first responder.

This story illustrates that canines are smarter and more affectionate than felines. A cat who is precariously perched on top of a 200-foot tree doesn`t realize how much danger he`s in, but a pooch who`s on a roof twenty feet high in the air is cognizant of his perilous situation.

Kudos to the concerned citizens who called the police, and the courageous first responders who rescued the silly pooch. There`s nothing like a dog to bring out the best in humanity.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the Worst White House Press Secretary in History

“When White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders holds an official press briefing, time is a precious commodity. May 22: “We`ll keep this short today.” May 17: “Sorry, I`m going to keep going because we`re really tight on time today.” May 7: “Sorry, I`m going to keep moving just because we`re going to get real tight on time here.” May 7 (again): “I`m going to just keep moving because I did it to your colleague.” For a more lively look at the press secretary`s time constraints, please click on the video at the top of this post.

It stands to reason that Sanders may well be watching the clock. Her briefings, after all, have a knack of ending at 20 minutes, or a tick before or after that mark.”

Washington Post

The White House Press Secretary is a senior White House official whose primary responsibility is to act as spokesperson for the executive branch of the United States government administration, especially with regard to the President, senior executives, and policies.

The press secretary is responsible for collecting information about actions and events within the president`s administration and issues the administration`s reactions to developments around the world. The press secretary interacts with the media, and deals with the White House press corps on a daily basis, generally in a daily press briefing.

Wikipedia

The White House Press Secretary is a critical position, and he/she works long hours and has many responsibilities, but the most important responsibility is the daily press briefing. It should be noted that during the Trump administration the daily press briefing takes place only two or three times per week.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders has a thankless and exhausting job trying to explain to the press and the American public Trump`s insane tweets and his constantly changing positions on almost every issue.

It`s a vital function of our democracy for the Press Secretary to honestly and thoroughly answer the questions of the White House press corps, and it`s a shame that Sanders rarely answers questions honestly, and she always rushes through the briefing.

She usually opens the briefing by saying “my time is short, and I need to keep things moving,” without explaining why time is short. Sometimes she`ll make the excuse that she needs to attend another White House function, and therefore the briefing will be short.

Excuse me but Sanders can schedule the briefing at a time when it won`t interfere with any other meeting or function she needs to attend. She should show the journalists and the public a little respect, and take her time and answer every question, and allow every reporter follow-up questions.

Every White House Press Secretary, regardless if it`s a Republican or Democratic administration is grilled by the press. A Press Secretary should don asbestos underwear, put on a smile, and engage the press.

If you can`t take the heat get out of the kitchen, and judging my Sanders` perpetual scowl, and her condescending attitude, she`s not cut out for this position.

Sanders` act is growing old, and I hope she resigns or is fired very soon. White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Rah Shah would make an excellent replacement.

A Clean Litter Box Makes for a Happy Kitty

“According to The Humane Society of the United States, the general rule of thumb for optimal litter box hygiene is that you clean it about twice per week. Like most general rules of thumb, though, there`s room for variation here. Your particular needs might differ based on how many cats you have, how many litter boxes you have (if you have multiple cats), and what kind of litter you use in them.”

Bustle

Cats spend most of their time sleeping, and it seems they spend most of their waking hours causing mischief and grooming themselves. Felines operate under the belief that cleanliness is next to godliness, and they clean their entire furry bodies, from their ears to their nether regions.

It shouldn`t come as any surprise that kitties expect their litter boxes to be kept clean. Even people who are complete slobs are irritated when nature calls, and they discover that their spouse didn`t flush the toilet, and there`s a disgusting log floating in the toilet bowl. So you can imagine how mad finicky cats are when their lazy master doesn`t clean the litter box on a regular basis.

The good folks at the Humane Society must be high on catnip, your cats are going to be pissed if you only clean the litter box twice per week.

I have two furballs, one of them tips the scales at 25 pounds, and believe me he craps like it`s going out of style. I clean my litter boxes at least once, sometimes twice per day.

A clean litter box makes for a happy kitty.
