We All Want Jimmy Carter to Live Forever and Joe Biden to Hurry Up and Die

In February former president Jimmy Carter, who’s been diagnosed with metastatic melanoma that has spread to the brain, announced that he would forgo medical intervention and spend the remainder of his life in hospice care in his modest home in Plains, Georgia.

Carter was a mediocre president, but he’s enjoyed a highly successful post-presidency engaging in global humanitarian work since founding The Carter Center in 1982.  The iconic photographs of Carter building houses for Habitat for Humanity best represent his life’s work as a former president.

Carter’s announcement elicited gushing tributes from politicians and pundits that could have served as obituaries. It’s now September and Carter remains in good spirits as he welcomes family and well-wishers to his humble abode. We all thought we would lose our beloved Jimmy in February, but we are thrilled that he is still with us.

In April 2023 President Joe Biden, 80, announced that he is running for reelection in 2024, and his announcement was met with frustration by Democrats who don’t think he has the stamina, physical strength or mental dexterity to finish his term, let alone serve another one.

Biden’s reelection announcement prompted alarmed Democrats to realize that his cognitive decline is on a death spiral, and a shot of Geritol isn’t going to revive him long enough to deliver a coherent stump speech.

The evidence of Biden’s terminal decline is manifest, his disastrous Hanoi press conference proved all his doubters right.

We all hope that the Grim Reaper stays away from Carter for as long as possible, but we are praying that he will drag Biden to hell as quickly as possible.

Poll: Trump Supporters Trust Him More Than Religious Leaders, Conservative Pundits and Friends and Families

According to the CBS/YouGov poll results evangelical primary voters who plan to vote for former President Donald Trump in 2024 find him to the most trustworthy, ahead of conservative pundits, religious leaders and even their own families and friends. Seven in ten respondents said they feel that what Trump tells them is true, but only four in ten religious leaders merit the same trust.

The results of this poll should surprise nobody, if Trump told his supporters to jump, they would instantly jump regardless if they were at the edge of a cliff, at the crater of a volcano, or at the shore of the lake of fire.

Of course, Trump cultists trust their orange messiah more than conservative media figures, religious leaders and even their own families and friends, they accept every obscenity, lie and absurdity that emanates from his sphincter-shaped mouth as the Gospel truth.

It doesn’t matter that Trump is a pathological liar who told over 30,000 documented lies during his chaotic and turbulent administration. White evangelicals believe that everything that Trump says is true, even if it contradicts the laws of physics and common sense, simply by virtue of the fact that it was uttered by their Savior. Their mantra is: if Trump says it, I believe it, and you can shove your facts up your ass.

Roman Catholics believe that whenever the Pope speaks on matters of faith and morals, he is infallible, but when he speaks on politics, current affairs or any other temporal subject he is susceptible to making mistakes.

White Evangelicals believe that whenever Trump speaks on any subject, whether it’s about religion, politics, sports or entertainment, he is infallible.

It’s foolish to argue with Trump sycophants, they shit on your truth, facts and empirical evidence and lavish praise on every piece of crap that their Dear Leader drops.

It makes no sense to appeal to their friends and family members to intervene and try to make Trump cultists see the truth that Trump is a steaming pile of dung.

It’s a mission impossible to hope that religious leaders will succeed in convincing Trump supporters that he is a false prophet. Trump voters are beyond salvation, they will follow their messiah in his crusade against the rule of law, and democracy itself.

Is Donald Trump Going to Replace Mike Pence With Nikki Haley?

“The headline of an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on Monday says it all: Trump-Haley 2020.

The time has come to for President Donald Trump to replace Vice President Mike Pence on the 2020 ticket with former American Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, concludes Andrew Stein, a former president of the New York City Council and a Democratic supporter of the President. Here’s Stein’s key point:

‘It’s too late for Mr. Trump to revamp his political personality. But with the 2016 election in the past, Nikki Haley on the ticket could tamp down the antipathy for Mr. Trump that seems to afflict so many moderate and Republican-leaning women.’”

CNN

On November 7, 2018, Trump confirmed that Mike Pence would be his vice presidential running mate in 2020. But Trump is notoriously fickle and he may change his mind a dozen times before he begins to campaign in earnest after Labor Day.

The stable genius takes a perverse delight in breaking political conventions and his base wouldn’t be particularly upset if he dumped the obsequious Pence for the more independent Haley.

Trump selected the pious evangelical zealot, Mike Pence, to be his running mate to sure up his evangelical support. By appointed two conservative judges to the Supreme Court and nearly 200 conservative judges to federal appeals courts, it’s a safe bet that white evangelicals will vote for Trump come hell or high water. Trump can replace Pence with any conservative Republican without losing any votes.

This weekend on an interview on Meet the Press Chuck Todd asked Trump whether Mike Pence is 100% on your ticket in 2020, and Trump responded:

“Well, look, look — 100%, yes. He’s been a terrific vice president. He’s my friend.”

Trump may very well have been telling the truth, but if a miracle happens and Pence grows some balls any criticizes his boss for any of his myriad indiscretions or insane policy proposals he may very well be replaced by Haley or someone else.

The pertinent question is whether replacing Pence with Haley would guarantee Trump victory in 2020. It’s incredibly sexist to assert that replacing Pence with a female candidate, however qualified she may be, would motivate women to vote for Trump. Trump has already proven that he’s sexist beyond redemption and suburban female voters aren’t going to vote for Trump just because there’s a woman on the ticket.

In fact after four years of chaos, confusion and buffoonery nobody in his or her right mind will vote for Trump in 2020, regardless whom he chooses as his running mate.
