Biden Makes Epic Gaffe in His ‘Big Boy’ Press Conference

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre billed President Joe Biden’s first press conference in eight months as his “Big Boy” presser. In preparation for his big moment, I am sure the octogenarian girded his loins with his Big Boy diapers, swallowed a double shot of Geritol, and uttered a quick Hail Mary.

But it seems that the Virgin Mary and even God Almighty Himself cannot unscramble Biden’s dementia-impaired brain.

In an ominous portent of things to come, shortly before his momentous question and answer session, he mistakenly referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as President Putin when introducing him at a NATO event.

The geriatric gaffe-prone commander-in-chief started his gabfest by referring to Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump,” thereby providing Donald Trump with more ammunition to use against him.

Biden’s much-anticipated press conference was not an unmitigated disaster like his debate with Donald Trump, but it did little to quell the fears that he is mentally unfit to serve another four years in the Oval Office. Biden said ‘anyway’ repeatedly when he lost his train of thought or forgot what he was going to say. “Anyway” is shorthand for “please forgive me I’m having another Senior Moment.”

A hundred mediocre press conference performances are incapable of making us forget his disastrous debate.

I am hoping and praying for one more speech from Biden, an announcement that he is not seeking reelection.

Biden is an International Embarrassment, Democrats Must Force Him to Drop Out

According to the old bromide “when America sneezes, the world catches a cold.” I’d like to coin a new saying, “When the President of the United States and the Leader of the Free World has dementia, the world goes batshit crazy.”

With the Russian invasion of Ukraine threatening to spiral into a world war, the Israel/Hamas holy conflagration threatening to turn into a regional war entangling Iran and the USA and North Korea threatening to strike South Korea and the United States with nuclear weapons, we need a steady hand and a sober mind in the White House.

After the debate debacle it is abundantly clear that not only is President Joe Biden physical and mentally unfit to run for reelection, but he is also manifestly unfit to serve as president right now.

Not only is Biden refusing to drop out of the race, but in a fit of intransigence and stubbornness, he vowed that the “elites” will not drive him out of the race.

Our European allies are terrified that Biden will lose, and that Trump will stop supporting Ukraine and exit NATO. Americans are horrified at the prospect that an emboldened Trump without any guardrails will destroy our democracy.

Senile Joe Biden will lose to Donald Trump in a landslide, and he will be a drag on the down ballot turning the Senate and the House over to the Republicans.

God is not going to smite Biden with a heart attack, it is up to Democratic leaders to stop him in his tracks, by any means necessary.

Democrats: Stop the national embarrassment! Stop the international humiliation! For the love of God get rid of Biden, immediately.

Stubbornness is a Hallmark of Dementia, Biden Must be Forced to Drop Out

I am not a neurologist or a psychologist, but neither am I blind or deaf, and I can deduce that President Joe Biden is an octogenarian with serious physical and cognitive issues. His slurring speech, incoherent comments, slow gait and his penchant for standing open with his mouth agape are indicative of a physically frail person suffering from dementia.

If your grandfather is suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia, you do not expect him to make important decisions regarding his finances or medical care. If you are his caregiver, you make those decisions for him, and about the only choice you allow him to make is if he wants oatmeal or scrambled eggs for breakfast.

After Biden’s complete meltdown at the debate, many pundits and politicians are suggesting that we should give him time to realize that he is no longer physically and mentally fit to be president and allow him to drop out with a measure of grace and dignity.

Hello? Biden’s mind is shattered, he is incapable of realizing or admitting that he is cognitively challenged and unfit to serve as president.

General stubbornness is a hallmark of dementia, and Biden is too stubborn to relinquish his power even though he is incapable of uttering a complete sentence or exiting a stage after delivering an incoherent speech.

Six out of 10 people living with dementia wander at least once, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. When Biden is in a public stage with foreign dignitaries he often wanders away from the group, until his wife or an aide takes him by the arm and nudges him back.

Patients with dementia often develop delusions or false beliefs, and Biden is under the delusion that despite his dementia and poor polls he is the only one who can defeat Donald Trump.

Two years ago, Biden should have had the humility and grace to announce that he was not running for reelection, and anointed Kamala Harris as his worthy successor.

Biden isn’t going to drop out of the race, it’s incumbent upon Democratic leaders to force him to drop out by any means necessary.

If Biden remains the Democratic presidential nominee, he will lose, and a Trump with no guardrails will destroy our democracy.

Top Democrats Must Force Biden to Drop Out

President Joe Biden remained resolute and defiant in the closely monitored interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos.

The seasoned anchor deftly and diplomatically detailed all the reasons, (his physical and mental decline, sagging polls, the increasing number of Americans who don’t want him to run for reelection, donors’ reluctance to continue to finance his campaign and Democratic House members who have called on him to step down), why he should consider stepping down.

Finally, the selfish and stubborn Biden exclaimed that only the Lord Almighty could convince him to end his bid for re-election. The octogenarian commander-in-chief may be a devout Catholic, but if the Lord God Almighty came down to the White House, and pimp-slapped Biden with his own rosary beads, and ordered him to stand down, he would pretend that he could not hear the Lord’s admonishment.

Only a higher power than former president Barack Obama or God Himself could persuade Biden to face the reality that he’s too physically decrepit and cognitively damaged to serve as president.

But Jill Biden loves being on the cover of Vogue too much, and she loves being the power behind the throne too much, to stop her elder abuse and instruct her husband to step down.

Joe Biden had the opportunity to relinquish power with grace, humility and dignity, but now he no longer possesses the mental acuity to make any decision more complicated than what color socks he should wear.

It’s Jill who makes all the decisions for her senile husband, and the leaders of the Democratic Party should force the president not to seek a second term, before it’s too late.

Damn Jill Biden for Propping Up Senile & Decrepit Joe Biden

“Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) suggested that the ‘only thing’ that could adjust President Biden’s decision about staying in the race post-debate is poll numbers.

Quigley emphasized during an interview Tuesday on CNN that Biden’s decision to continue is his alone, following a rocky debate performance last week against former President Trump. The Illinois Democrat suggested that weak polling in the wake of the event is the only thing that could sway the incumbent.”

The Hill

Quigley is dead wrong on his analysis of what metrics may cause President Joe Biden to step down.

Quigley emphasized that Biden’s decision to stay in office is his alone, but that implies that the octogenarian possesses the cognitive ability to weigh the pros and cons of his actions. Biden does not have the mental acuity to determine if the best salve to apply to his irritated incontinent rectum is Vaseline or strawberry jam.

At this late stage of his cognitive decline Biden has a tough time adding 2 + 2, never mind trying to decipher polling results.

You do not have to be a rocket scientist, neurologist or a political pundit to discern that Biden’s debate debacle means that he should immediately step down and allow Kamala Harris to finish the remainder of his term.

The few polls that have been released after the debate debacle reflect a slight surge in favor of Trump:

“Republican Donald Trump has edged ahead of Democrat Joe Biden, 41% to 38%, in the aftermath of the candidates’ rancorous debate last week, according to an exclusive USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll.

That narrow advantage has opened since the previous survey in May showed the two contenders tied, 37% to 37%.”

USA Today

But it is not polls that will determine Biden’s course of action, it’s up to Jill Biden. Joe does not have a mind, it’s his wife, guilty of elder abuse, who will make the ultimate decision.

She is the real power behind the throne, and she is loath to relinquish her power. She will continue to prop up the doddering and decrepit Biden, even if it means that the amoral, vindictive, racist piece of shit Trump wins.

Biden’s Dreadful Debate Has Doomed His Reelection Bid

My thoughts on last night’s debate:

Donald Trump did not engage in conventional debate preparation like participating in mock debates. He relied on his innate ability to adlib, and he spoke simply, albeit crazily in a manner that resonated with his deluded supporters.

The stable genius’ lack of debate preparation was manifest in his answers which were bereft of nuance and detail. His replies to the straightforward questions posed by the moderators had almost nothing to do with the topic at hand, instead his used his allotted two minutes per question to ramble incoherently about his favorite topics and conspiracy theories, namely immigration, crime and the “rigged” 2020 election.

But I give the former president credit for dialing down his rhetoric a couple of notches, Debate Trump was not as wacky and inflammatory as Maga Rally Trump. His replies were lacking in substance and insight, but he scored points with his forceful and confident delivery.

Liberal critics complained that the pathological liar’s false claims were not fact-checked in real time by the moderators. But it was an impossible task for the moderators to fact-check him when virtually every utterance that emanated from his sphincter-shaped mouth was a lie.

Trump’s debate performance was uneven and lackluster, but compared to Joe Biden’s dreadful performance, he was Reaganesque. The octogenarian’s performance was an unmitigated disaster. The 81-year-old incumbent had one job, and one job only, prove to a skeptical electorate that he still possessed the mental acuity to serve another term. He failed. Miserably.

From the moment he gingerly and tentatively walked to his podium, he looked defeated, downcast and disoriented. His raspy and barely audible voice, deer-in-the headlight stare, inability to complete a sentence and frequent loss of train of thought were enough to convince even the most diehard supporter that he is mentally unfit to be president.

At one point Biden froze for a few seconds, his apologists can’t explain this disturbing cognitive fail as a cheap fake. Biden is a dead man walking, he isn’t low-energy Joe, he’s rigor mortis Joe.

Presidential debates have a history of candidates having one viral moment that sabotages their performance, witness Gerald Ford’s “Free Poland” gaffe. But it wasn’t one mistake that doomed Biden, the entire evening was dominated by his incoherence, mental instability and inability to respond with a cogent thought.

I am a progressive who thinks that Trump is the worst president in history, who will destroy our democracy if he returns to power. The Democratic Party has a deep bench with many potential candidates like California Governor Gavin Newsome who would have no problem defeating Trump. It is tragic that we are burdened with a senile candidate, as evidenced by his horrific debate performance, who will lose to Trump.

If Trump is Human Garbage, why is the Presidential Race a Dead Heat?

When the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is a thrice-married, twice impeached felon, failed insurrectionist, pathological liar, cognitively-challenged serial sexual assaulter of women, miscreant who has been convicted of rape and fraud in civil trials, sociopathic personality with delusions of being a dictator, you’d think the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee would be miles ahead in the polls even if he was a wilted head of cabbage.

Certainly Democrats, Independents and even Republicans should vote for Joe Biden, right?

But Donald Trump and Joe Biden are in a dead heat in the national polls, and Trump is ahead in most of the swing states.

Why? Dear God, why?

Donald Trump is not only the undisputed leader of the GOP, but he is also the messiah of the MAGA cult, and his disciples have an excuse or a conspiracy theory for all of his grievous faults.

Pathological Liar? Lies, what lies? Every utterance that emanates from their Orange Messiah’s sphincter-shaped mouth is an alternative fact accepted as the Gospel truth by his disciples.

Cognitively challenged? Whatcha talkin’ about Willis? Trump is a stable genius who has aced a couple of cognitive tests! He’s an eloquent speaker and if the publishing world wasn’t controlled by commies and lesbians, hundreds of his pearls of wisdom would be included in Barlett’s Familiar Quotations.

Felon? His sycophants think he was framed just like Jesus Christ! The Justice System was weaponized against their Dear Leader. Trump considers his felony convictions as badges of honor!

Failed Insurrectionist? The 2020 election was rigged, and the patriotic hero was just trying to stop the steal.

Sociopath? MAGA wingnuts think that the heartless billionaire feels their pain, they think he’s as empathetic as Jesus.

The MAGA cultists are convinced that Trump will win in a landslide, and that Trump will lose only if the election is once again rigged.

Trump: ‘I Love the Ten Commandments

“I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG??? THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY. BRING BACK TTC!!! MAGA2024,”

Donald Trump Truth Social Post

Trump’s post expressing his undying love for the Ten Commandments came after Louisiana Governor Jeff Landy signed legislation this week that requires the display of the Ten Commandments in every public classroom in the state.

The thrice-married, twice-impeached and multi-indicted former president regularly breaks the commandments. He does not think the rule of law applies to himself, nor any divine precepts.

Trump’s endorsements are worth their weight in gold, and if the pathological liar and serial sexual predator gives his blessing to the ten injunctions, his MAGA cultists will interpret his approval as marching orders to lobby for the Decalogue to be posted in every classroom in America.

The Louisiana law does not pass constitutional muster, it violates the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution, and it will eventually be overturned. But in the meantime, the Orange Messiah will strengthen his evangelical support by calling for the law of Moses to be posted in public schools.

Trump treats the Bible as a political prop and as a money raising tool, witness his $59.99 God Bless the USA Bible. It will not be long before a Trump endorsed poster of the Ten Commandments is available for $29.99 on his web site. His edition of the Ten Commandments might include some revisions. For example: Thou shall not commit adultery, unless thy wife is disgustingly pregnant, and then thou will have a dispensation to commit fornication with a porn star.

Trump is the Antithesis of a Macho Man

The evangelical movement is a patriarchy, and male leaders thunder a machismo Gospel of American Exceptionalism from the pulpits and females meekly give assent with bowed heads from their cushioned pews. The fair sex keeps quiet in the churches but are permitted to exclaim the Lord’s name or their husband’s name in the bedroom in the throes of climax, but not loud enough to awaken their innocent children.

Trump’s moral degeneracy, cognitive decline and physical deterioration are emblematic of a weak and pitiful man. Trump’s sphincter-shaped mouth, pot belly, triple chin, doll hands, and puny mushroom-shaped penis, is a far cry from the masculine ideal or the Macho Man praised by the Village People.

But evangelicals are enthralled by their larger-than-life Messiah, they consider him the epitome of virility and masculinity. They reason that if King Solomon had seven hundred wives, and three hundred concubines, their hero is entitled to have affairs with porn stars and trysts with Russian hookers specializing in golden showers.

Evangelicals consider Trump a real man, because he asserts power and dominance over liberals, RINO’s, and especially over progressive women of color. In their brainwashed minds, he is a Superhero who will destroy their enemies by any means necessary and will usher in a thousand-year White Christian Reich.

Trump is a wimp, and his followers are weak-willed morons who will crawl back into their holes when we defeat their messiah for the final time this November.

Trump Prompts Evangelical Congregation to Shout ‘Bullshit’

“Cries of “Bullshit!” “Bullshit” rang out at a packed Phoenix megachurch June 6 as Donald Trump held his first campaign rally since his conviction on 34 felonies in New York.

As for Biden’s recent executive order limiting immigration? Trump told the crowd at Phoenix Dream Center, an Assemblies of God congregation, that it was ‘bullshit.’

‘They come up with this order,’ he said. ‘I won’t say it, because I don’t like using the word ‘bullshit’ in front of these people.’”

Baptist News Global

Evangelical congregations, especially Assemblies of God churches, aren’t shy about shouting “Amen” and “Hallelujah” as a means of encouraging their pastors to continue preaching Biblical truths and holy living. It was considered anathema for a parishioner to whisper even a mild swear word like “damn” in a temple.

Pentecostal churches place an emphasis on what they consider holy behavior, which certainly rules out shouting obscenities in a house of worship. At least that was the way things were pre-Trump.

But when evangelicals embrace a pathological liar, serial sexual predator, indicted criminal, and twice-impeached sociopath as their messiah, anything goes. It is par for the course to shout “bullshit” in a church when you worship a steaming pile of shit like Donald Trump.

I am not surprised at all that when Trump incited crowd at a crowed evangelical megachurch to utter a swear word, cries of “bullshit” rang out in the sanctuary.

Trump’s cult of evangelical sycophants should be showered with shouts of “bullshit” whenever they leave their tabernacles of evil and try to blend in with normal folks.

Why Is There a Gideon Bible in Every Hotel Room?

When people check into the “hotel, motel, Holiday Inn” they test the free Wi-Fi, review the premium channels, stash their valuables in the room safe, and then open the drawers to see if a previous guest left behind a watch or jewelry, only to find a Gideon’s Bible.

It is incongruous to find a Bible in a motel room, a lodging house is not a rectory, and for every minister or nun who checks into a motel room, there are a thousand libertines, and the last thing they need is a Bible.

It does not take a rocket scientist or a concierge to read the room and to deduce that Holy Scriptures are the last thing on the mind of lovers checking into a hotel or motel room. Might I suggest a copy of the Kuma Sutra might be more appropriate? Or a condom or a pamphlet explaining safe sex practices?

I have never checked into a motor inn and discovered a well-worn Bible, most guest do not open the Good Book, they do not read a single verse. An immense waste of money, why not just leave a religious tract with the address and phone number of a local church, for the convenience of the married guests who feel guilty after engaging in a tryst with a stranger?

Tony Evans Resigns from Church after 48 Years Over ‘Sin’ He Committed Years Ago

“When we fall short of that standard due to sin, we are required to repent and restore our relationship with God. A number of years ago, I fell short of that standard. I am, therefore, required to apply the same biblical standard of repentance and restoration to myself that I have applied to others.”

Dr. Tony Evans

After 48 years of preaching, evangelical pastor Dr. Tony Evans is calling it quits at his church because of a “sin” he committed years ago.

Rev. Evans is an African American evangelical minister, and like most Black evangelicals he does not indulge in any of the most reprehensible sins of white evangelicals: the demonization of immigrants, the deification of Donald Trump, the dissemination of false conspiracy theories. the degradation of women and the denouncement of pro-lifers.

Unlike most white evangelical leaders who admit to their followers that they have sinned, Evans did not indulge in any histrionics, he did not weep uncontrollably and plead with the Almighty to forgive him like a Jimmy Swaggart.

He simply released a statement to his congregation saying he was stepping down, without providing any lurid details of his transgression.

He emphasized that he did not commit any crime, but he did not use “righteous judgment” in his actions.

I take Evans at his word that he did not commit any crimes, therefore I really do not care what sins he committed.

This is a textbook example of how a minister should act when he sins: admit your sin, and accept there will be consequences for your misdeeds, hopefully culminating in resignation.

Although, I do wonder why he is just now resigning over a sin that he committed years ago.

Rudy Guiliani Calls Fani Willis a ‘Ho’

Thrice-divorced and twice-indicted raging alcoholic Rudolph Guiliani is a regular speaker on the ReAwaken America Tour, a Christian nationalist, MAGA traveling circus trying to reclaim America for Jesus Christ and trying to return Donald Trump to the White House.

The pious and pragmatic evangelicals overlook the fact that America’s Mayor of Crazy Town is a drunk Catholic who is facing disbarment in Washington, DC, because he is a true believer in the MAGA cult who has dedicated his life to fluffing Trump and kissing his ass. For dutifully fluffing Trump’s tiny pecker and licking his huge ass, he is a saint in the MAGA cult.

Guiliani was a featured speaker when the ReAwaken America Tour made a stop at Grace Christian Church just outside of Detroit. In an expletive-laden speech from the pulpit, he called the Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis a “ho” stunning the crowd into a stunned silence.

Just kidding, the crowd erupting into a frenzy of cheers and holy laughter. Nothing excites evangelicals more than when a MAGA leader insults a Democrat, especially if it’s a female minority.

After Giuliani finished his diatribe conference organizer Clay Clark begged the attendees and the livestream viewers to donate money to Giuliani’s defense fund.

I’m sure that most of the evangelicals in attendance donated money, but WWJD? I’m sure that Jesus would say “Fuck this shit”, I’m not giving that drunkard a dime, but I just may smite him with leprosy.

Biden and Trump: Incontinent and Cranky Clowns Making Mockery of Our Presidential Election

A video of Joe Biden at the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in Normandy has gone viral. The footage depicts the octogenarian commander-in-chief shaking hands with French President Emmanuel Macron, and then turning away and bending slightly, as if trying to sit down or as if he is digesting the fact that he just shit his pants in front of a world-wide viewing audience.

This disturbing video comes just days after the Donald Trump hush money trial featured the disgraced former president poisoning the court room with uncontrollable bouts of flatulence.

When a 78-year-old former president challenges an incumbent 81-year-old president it shouldn’t come as any surprise that that media coverage and political commercials will focus on droopy drawers and stinky farts.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump should reside in a nursing home where nobody will bat an eye if either one shits his pants or rips a loud and stinky fart. But we shouldn’t be expected to tolerate our president soiling his pants in a solemn occasion or a former president falling asleep in court and farting like nobody’s business.

I’m tired of this shit, the greatest democracy in the world shouldn’t put up with two incontinent senile presidential candidates.

Desperate Bob Good Hopes Trump Will Rescind His Endorsement of his Opponent John McGuire

“In an open letter to Trump sent Thursday afternoon and obtained by Politico, 25 Republican officials in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District — including Rick Buchanan, chair of the district’s Republican Congressional Committee — ‘strongly’ urged Trump to reconsider his endorsement of Rep. Bob Good’s opponent state Sen. John McGuire, in the Republican Primary.”

Politico

In late May 2024 Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee and MAGA messiah, endorsed state Sen. John J. McGuire over incumbent Rep. Bob Good in the GOP primary battle for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District seat, thereby dooming any chance Good had of retaining his seat.

“Bob Good is BAD FOR VIRGINIA, AND BAD FOR THE USA,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “He turned his back on our incredible movement, and was constantly attacking and fighting me until recently, when he gave a warm and ‘loving’ Endorsement — But really, it was too late.”

Political endorsements are meaningless, they disappear into the ether as soon as they are uttered, but Trump’s endorsements are worth their weight in gold. Trump’s MAGA base accepts as the Gospel truth every word that emanates from his sphincter-shaped mouth, and a Trump endorsement is perceived as a mandate to be obeyed.

Since his original endorsement of McGuire on May 28, 2024, Trump has doubled down and accused Good of stabbing him on the back.

Good is so desperate that he convinced his cronies to beg Trump to rescind his endorsement, but that is not going to happen. A deity does not change his mind, and Trump will never forgive Good for endorsing Ron DeSantis. 

Trump Talks About His Relationship With God

“A viewer asked Trump during a fawning Fox & Friends interview over the weekend, ‘What’s your relationship with God like, and how do you pray?’

‘OK, so I think it is good,’ Trump replied. ‘I do very well with the evangelicals. I love the evangelicals. And I have more people saying they pray for me ― I can’t even believe it. They are so committed, and they are so believing. They say, ‘Sir, you’re going to be OK. I pray for you every night.’ I mean, everybody, almost ― I can’t say everybody, but almost everybody that sees me, they say it.’”

Yahoo News

The first think that grabs my attention is that Trump supporters are so gullible and clueless that they think that a sociopath who’s a serial sexual assaulter of women, a pathological liar, a failed insurrectionist and a wannabe dictator has a relationship with God.

I bet the Fox News viewer who posed this fawning and ridiculous question is a white evangelical who thinks his Orange Messiah has a direct line to the Almighty.

Trump gushed over how believing (re: gullible) evangelicals are and how committed they are to him. They accept every absurdity, obscenity and lie that emanates from his sphincter-shaped mouth as the Gospel truth.

Trump is an egotistical narcissist who doesn’t believe in God, any belief in a deity or a code of ethics would conflict with his achieve success by any means necessary mentality.

I give Trump credit for deflecting the question, and not even pretending that he prays or has a relationship with God.

White evangelicals will focus on his claim that he loves them, and to them that’s proof that he’s God’s anointed.

Runaway Trump Bus on Way to MAGA Rally Crashes into Utility Pole

A bus on its way to a Trump rally in Staten Island crashed into a utility pole. The vehicle was festooned with religious signs and messages including a sign that said “Trust Jesus.”

I hate to disappoint my readers, but the bus was empty; the parked bus rolled down until it crashed into the pole.

If a runaway Trump bus was headed straight to a pole, I wonder if the Trump cultists would cry out to Jesus or Trump to save them.

Jesus is kind and merciful and He’s dropping a hint that maybe people who call themselves Christians shouldn’t attend a blasphemous, obscene and downright evil MAGA rally.

But I am sure that the Trump cultists just made other plans to attend the rally, neither hell nor high water nor a divine message will keep them from attending a satanic MAGA rally.

I guess Jesus didn’t take the wheel.

This accident, that coincidentally happened after Trump was declared guilty, is a perfect metaphor for the Trump campaign.

Evangelical Lifeguard Sues for Being Stationed Near Pride Flag!

“An Evangelical Christian lifeguard is suing the Los Angeles County Fire Department, claiming religious discrimination after he was allegedly punished for refusing to fly an LGBT pride flag at his beachside lifeguard facility last summer.

Jeffrey Little, who has served Los Angeles County for 22 years, declined to hoist the Progress Pride flag at his lifeguard facility in Pacific Palisades at Will Rogers Beach, which includes a stretch called Ginger Rogers Beach that is frequented by the gay community.”

Christian Post

Little wants his employer to make an “accommodation” for him, because the pride flag at his beachside lifeguard facility offends his tender sensibilities. America is a secular, religiously and ethnically diverse democracy, and it is incumbent upon Little to accommodate himself to diverse political, religious symbols in public places.

Little works as a lifeguard in a gay-friendly beach, I wonder if he would hesitate to save a man who was drowning if he was wearing swimming trunks emblazoned with the Pride flag?

If Little wants to feel safe and comfortable then he should never leave the confines of his evangelical church, where the Christian, American and Israeli flags are proudly displayed. Little can comfort himself with the belief that the rainbow is Jehovah’s promise never to commit genocide again by drowning everyone in the world except for Noah and his family. But in the real world the rainbow-striped Pride flag is a symbol of pride for the LGBTQ community.

Cretins like Little are vastly outnumbered by multitudes of Americans, of all political and religious persuasions, who proudly fly the Pride flag. June is Pride month, and the Pride flag is proudly displayed in cities and towns all over this great country.

What Community Service Would be Best for Trump?

Former president Donald Trump was found guilty by a jury of 34 counts of falsifying business records for concealing hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

The twice-impeached former president has a long history of evading taxes, failing to pay contractors, lying on financial statements to secure loans and sexually assaulting women, but this is his first criminal conviction.

Even though the real estate tycoon faces a possible maximum sentence of four years imprisonment for each of the 34 counts against him, it’s highly unlikely he will spend a day behind bars.

Given that this is his first criminal conviction and that he was found guilty of low-level non-violent felonies he is more likely to receive probation or community service. What type of court-ordered community service should the convict be ordered to perform?

Work at an Animal Shelter

Everything that Trump touches turns to shit, and he is responsible for polluting social media with tons of bullshit, therefore it is only right that he cleans up shit for a change.

Build a House for Habitat for Humanity

Trump is a builder and real estate developer who’s built luxurious condos and resorts for the wealthy and powerful, it’s only right that he helps build a modest home for a poor family for a change. It would be refreshing to see him channel Jimmy Carter instead of Richard Nixon, for a change.

Work as an Assistant for an Immigrant Landscaper

Trump demonizes undocumented workers as rapists, thieves and murderers, it’s only right that he work side-by-side with an immigrant so he can learn first-hand how hard-working, industrious and entrepreneurial most of them are.

Work as a Caregiver for Joe Biden

Even though Trump suffers from his own cognitive issues he constantly makes fun of Biden’s dementia. It’s only right that he be sentenced to change Bidens diapers, clean his dentures, and sing him bedtime stories.

If Trump is found guilty in his other pending criminal cases he will most likely be sentenced to prison, but in the meantime what community service do you think he deserves?

We Need to Reclaim American Flag from Trump and his MAGA Cultists

Before Trump became president in 2016 the American flag was a symbol of patriotism and freedom, and even Democrats proudly flew the flag without worrying that their neighbors might think that they were professing allegiance to Republican ideology.

But Trump and his MAGA cultists have turned our great flag into a symbol of allegiance to him and the MAGA movement. Old Glory is the battle flag of Trump and his insurrectionists; Trump rallies feature enormous American flags, and all sorts of merchandise depicting Trump and the flag are hawked at his rallies.

When I see the authoritarian orange sociopath hugging, kissing and caressing the American flag it makes me want to throw up.

Even though Lynchburg is a conservative city in the Bible Belt since Donald Trump became president in 2016, there have been significantly less homeowners flying American flags. Even mainstream Republicans who are not part of the MAGA cult are reluctant to display the Stars and Stripes.

I’m a progressive who hates how Trump has damaged the GOP in particular and democracy in general, but I still fly the American flag on my front porch because I’m so grateful to live in the greatest democracy in the world. I have a Black Lives Matter banner in my front yard, so my neighbors will not mistake me for a Trump supporter.

This Memorial Day American flags were flying proudly in public buildings and private residences in every neighborhood in Lynchburg.

I hope that Trump will be soundly defeated, and that all Americans, and not just Trump sycophants, will once again proudly display the American flag every day, not just on Memorial Day or Independence Day.

Shame on Nikki Haley for Endorsing Trump

Anthony Scaramucci, who for a New York minute served as White House communications director in the Trump Administration, criticized Nikki Haley for saying she would support the former president over President Biden. Her exact words:

“Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I’ve made that clear, many, many times. But Biden has been a catastrophe. So, I will be voting for Trump.”

This wasn’t exactly a ringing endorsement, in fact it barely qualifies as an endorsement, but she should have kept her mouth shut and preserved her dignity.

I feel no need to kiss the ring, Haley said in February before suspending her primary campaign; now she’s puckering her lips getting ready to kiss his ass. Now she has implicitly endorsed the sociopath that just a few months ago she described as “too old, too chaotic, too unhinged and too prone to temper tantrums to be president again.”

Haley states that Trump has not been perfect on his policies, but it’s not his policies so much as his criminal indictments hanging over his head, his racist and immoral behavior, and his authoritarian tendencies that renders him unqualified to serve as president.

Scaramucci was one of just a few principled Republicans who criticized Haley’s timid endorsement of Trump. Adam Kinzinger: “Not a surprise, but, pathetic.” Mark Sanderford: “What you have here is somebody obviously wanting to be relevant in 2028.”

It’s Trump, not Biden who’s a catastrophe and Haley’s weak endorsement of Trump isn’t enough for the MAGA cultists, and they will never forgive her for running against their messiah in the first place.

Upside-down Flag at Alito’s Home an Affront to Our Democracy

Letting your freak flag fly high means to do something dramatic to express your support for a group or a cause that’s dear to your heart. For example, a stoner might let his freak flag fly high by installing huge bongs, instead of garden gnomes, in his front yard.

The Supreme Court justices are supposed to interpret the law in a non-partisan, non-ideological and non-religious basis.

But Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is an insurrectionist at heart who makes little effort to conceal his White Christian Nationalist leanings.

An upside-down American flag, a cherished symbol among the MAGA Stop the Steal rioters, was flying outside Alito’s home, just days before Biden’s inauguration. Inverted flags were a common sight in trailer parks in the months after the Biden inauguration, and it’s an affront to our democracy that Alioto disrespected our flag to show common cause with insurrectionists.

The chivalrous Alito threw his wife under the bus blaming her for flying the inverted flag. He claimed that she did so in protest to a neighbor who had Fu** Trump sign on their front yard.

This week, the New York Times reported that the Alitos flew an “Appeal to Heaven” flag (a white flag with a pine tree on it) at their beach house in New Jersey last year. Most Americans don’t know the Appeal to Heaven flag from a McDonald’s flag, but MAGA cultists are familiar with it and some of them brandished said flag while assaulting the Capitol.

Alito should recuse himself from any cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, and if he refuses the Chief Justice John Roberts should compel him to recuse himself.

Classified Documents Found in Trump’s Bedroom Months After Mar-a-Lago Raid

Newly released court filings revealed that Donald Trump’s lawyers found classified documents in his bedroom months after the 2022 FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago. Most of the newspaper articles and cable news reported this disclosure as “shocking.”

I hardly find it shocking that Trump believes that he is a above the law, and that he has such disdain for the FBI and the rule of law that he kept classified documents in his bedroom.

I would be shocked if the MAGA messiah kept a Bible on the nightstand next to his bed. Trump is old school and he probably keeps a stained copy of Hustler magazine within easy reach of his creepy little hands.

I would be shocked if Melania was discovered on Trump’s bed, it’s probably been decades since he’s enjoyed carnal relations with this trophy wife. She’d rather be dead than endure the degradation of having her fat ass husband grope her breasts with his disgusting doll hands or have his puny presidential pecker anywhere near her vagina.

I’d be shocked if clean bedsheets were discovered on the former president’s bed. Can you imagine what his bedsheets look like after Trump has been on his bed for just a few moments? The linen would be defiled by his fake orange tan, blond hair dye, and not to mention that the incontinent septuagenarian would leave the sheets smudged with feces and drenched with urine.

I would be surprised if a chess set was found in Trum p’s bedroom, at this point he doesn’t have the cognitive ability to play Tic-Tac-Toe.

More classified document found in Trump’s bedroom? I don’t think anyone is surprised.

Jasmine Crockett Deserves a Nobel Prize for Calling MTG #BleachBlondeBadBuiltButchBody

I’ve been posting essays online since 1998, I’ve written thousands of articles, and I’ve come up with some inventive phrases that are the envy of my fellow bloggers. (or so I imagine)

But Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s eviscerating of Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) by dismissing her as “BleachBlondBadBuiltButchBody entails a presence of mind and mastery of the English language that I simply don’t possess. And to think that she came up with this alliterative coup de grace off the cuff, just boggles my mind.

I rarely praise ad hominin attacks but Crockett’s verbal takedown of MTG was richly deserved considering that personal slander is the Georgia congresswoman’s modus operandi. This is not a case of both sides are wrong, MTG was the first to resort to personal attacks by making fun of Crockett’s fake eyelashes. Frankly, it was about time that somebody gave MTG a taste of her own medicine.

#BleachBlondeBadBuiltButchBody was the perfect insult to lob against a profane anti-LGBT legislator, but I need to stress that I intend no disrespect to the many beautiful #BleachBlondGoodBuiltButchBody queer women.

Forevermore whenever MTG opens her mouth we will think: Oh shut up you #BleachBlondeBadBuiltButchBody!

The Debate Between Sleepy Joe and Drowsy Don Will be a Snoozefest

Let’s get ready to rumble! President Joe Biden, 81, and former President Donald Trump, 77, have agreed to a pair of debates. The two ageing pugilists have agreed to a debate on June 27, hosted by CNN, and another on Sept. 10 hosted by ABC.

Don’t expect a Lincoln-Douglas oratory masterclass when these two senile combatants take the stage, it will be more like a clash between Mr. Magoo and Scrooge McDuck.

The debates will feature just the two presidential candidates and the moderators without the rowdy in-person audience that makes even the most boring verbal duel interesting. This will be a disadvantage for Trump because he feeds off the energy of his cultists. The Sleepy Joe vs Drowsy Don debate will be a snoozefest.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr was not invited to the debate; I guess a conspiracy theorist who had part of his brain eaten by a worm would only serve to make the verbal confrontation between the old geezers more confusing.

The only way this debate will be interesting is if Joe Biden stumbles walking up to the stage or if he can’t find his lectern without assistance. There’s also the strong probability that Trump will enliven the verbal match with a bout of flatulence.

I would caution Biden to be prepared for low blows, there is no telling what the vulgar and vindictive Trump will say to rattle his opponent. And I would caution Trump not to interrupt Biden if he regales the viewing audience with an anecdote about Corn Pop, let Biden be Biden and he will lose the debate.
