Hours After Manafort and Cohen Blows Trump Supporters Chant ‘Lock Her Up’

Yesterday a jury found former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort guilty on tax- and bank-fraud charges, and on the same day Michael Cohen, Trump`s longtime lawyer/fixer pleaded guilty to eight criminal counts. This one-two punch has left the administration reeling, and my guess is that even the White House butler is lawyering up.

When Trump bragged that he hires the best people, little did we know that he meant the best criminals. Manafort and Cohen aren`t aberrations, Trump surrounds himself with sleazy characters, witness this list of Trump intimates who have pleaded guilty to various felonies.

George Papadopoulos, former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

Michael Flynn, Trump`s former national security adviser, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

Rick Gates, former Trump campaign aide and Manafort`s longtime partner in crime pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge.

I won`t even mention the Cabinet members who have resigned in disgrace.

Candidate Trump promised to drain the swamp, but the White House is fertile grounds for all kinds of swamp creatures, and most Americans are sick and tired of the endemic corruption.

With the exception of Trump supporters who live in an alternate universe, and they regard the Stable Genius as a man chosen by God to make America Great (re: white) Again.

Just hours after Trump was dealt these two major blows in federal courts, his supporters were chanting “Lock Her Up” and “Drain the Swamp” at a Make America Great campaign rally in West Virginia.

These morons are enthralled by Trump and the scales will never fall from their eyes, at least not until they die and the Almighty casts these white evangelical fuc*ers to hell.

But let us not grow weary in well doing, let us continue to fight the good fight until this abomination is impeached and removed from office.

 

Bruno the Fat Cat Who Stands on His Hind Legs When He’s Hungry Adopted

“After worldwide interest Bruno the cat has a new home.

The Russian Blue became an internet sensation after Morton Grove shelter Wright Way announced he was looking for a new family. Cats of his breed usually are supposed to weigh between 7-10 pounds; Bruno tips the scale at 25 pounds.

Bruno likes to stand on his hind legs, usually when he wants food. No one is sure how he learned this special trick, but everyone agrees it`s hilarious.”

ABC News

Bruno is a one-trick pony, he gained Internet fame because he has a penchant for standing up when he wants to be fed.

My kitty, Tico, also tips the scales at 25 pounds, and when he`s hungry he doesn`t stand on his hind legs, he walks on my belly and face until I get the message.

I`m not sure what I would do if Tico stood up on his hind legs, would I call the vet, an exorcist, or would I grab my cell phone and try to monetize the freak by posting videos on YouTube?

I`m glad Bruno found a forever home; I hope his new owner will pamper him.

Serena Williams Handles a Stupid and Racist Tennis Reporter With Style and Dignity

“The tennis great (Serena Williams) may also have still been struggling with nausea as a result of her interview with Inside Tennis reporter Bill Simons that weekend, during which he asked her a question that has apparently been plaguing him for 14 years.

I have been waiting about 14 years to ask you this question. After the 2004 Wimbledon match with Maria, I had the opportunity to interview Donald Trump on his L.A. golf course, and he said that Maria`s shoulders were incredibly alluring and then he came up with his incredible analysis: that you were intimidated by her supermodel good looks. My question is: Have you ever been intimidated by anyone on a tennis court, and what are your thoughts about that occurrence?

Williams replied:

“I honestly don`t have any thoughts about that. I can`t say I have been intimated `y anyone. That`s all. That`s it.`”

The Cut

I`ve been posting essays online since 1998 and I`ve written thousands of editorials on politics, current events and entertainment, but I`ve penned only a handful on sports or sports personalities.

This may explain why I`m writing a story about Serena Williams and the French Open which occurred back in May.

It`s an honor and a privilege for any journalist, not just a sports writer, to interview the greatest tennis player of all time. Tennis reporter Bill Simmons waited 14 years to ask Williams a specific question.

I would have asked the tennis icon any number of questions:

You`ve dominated Tennis for almost 20 years winning 23 Grand Slam singles titles, how do you explain your incredible longevity and consistency?

How do you keep yourself motivated when your agility and athleticism is so superior to your competition?

You`ve broken almost every record in tennis, is there a personal goal you`ve yet to achieve?

The bloody wanker waited 14 years to ask the Queen of Tennis if she was intimidated by Maria Sharapova`s supermodel good looks. The idiot was implying that Caucasians are inherently more attractive than people of color. As if Williams would consistently default when playing Sharapova because she was distracted by her golden locks. For the record Williams has a 19-3 lifetime record playing against Sharapova.

Simons namedropped Donald Trump in asking his ridiculous question, which leads me to conclude that he`s as much of a racist as he is a moron and a sexist pig.

Even though sports isn`t my forte I may write another essay about Williams, but I guarantee I won`t ever mention Simons again.

In Trump’s America Racists Feel Emboldened to Call Blacks the N-word

“A white woman was hospitalized following an altercation where she called a group of people the N-word on the X2 Metrobus.

Video emerged on Twitter showing the woman getting into an argument with another passenger. As the white woman begins walking off the bus near 2nd and H streets in Northeast D.C., she calls the other passenger the N-word.

The video shows the woman exiting the bus before cutting to a clip where she is on the ground, bloodied up.”

WPGC

Donald Trump has enabled racists to the point where they call the police on black folks for barbequing while black, sleeping in a university lounge area while black, redeeming coupons while black, selling bottles of water while black, swimming in a community pool while black …

They call the cops on people of color knowing that police interactions with minorities often leads to their injury or death.

The mere existence of people of color in Trump`s America is an affront to these racists. Pre-Trump they used the N-word in their country clubs, fraternal organizations and in their private residences, but now they feel so emboldened that they brazenly call African Americans niggers in public.

This fuc*ing moron white lady, most likely a Trump supporter, called a group of bus passengers the N-Word while riding the X2 Metrobus, a bus line that serves the inner city.

I commuted to work on a bus in Oakland, CA, and believe me everyone`s emotions are on hair trigger when you are packed like sardines in a smelly noisy bus. Yelling “nigger” on an inner-city bus is nothing short of a death wish, the bus passengers should be commended for simply beating her, and not killing her.

Minorities suffer so many indignities at the hands of the white power structure, that I`m amazed the passengers showed mercy on this vile creature.

Trump can get away with his blatant racism because he`s always surrounded by Secret Service agents, but the average racist isn`t afforded such protection, and he/she ain`t going to get away with using vile racist slurs in public.

Remembering Aretha Franklin’s Mini-Me Johanna Colon

Hundreds of singers from the divas that top the Billboard charts to cruise ship warblers have cited Aretha Franklin as their inspiration and motivation for becoming entertainers.

Aretha Franklin is the gold standard, and if they can capture just a smidgen of her grit, determination, and talent, they consider themselves blessed.

Johanna Colon was just six-years-old when she went viral in 2015 when she channeled the Queen of Soul in her dance recital performance to Aretha Franklin`s Respect.

Aretha was impressed by the little girl`s virtuoso performance: “That girl is serious. She is fierce. I`m afraid of her,” Franklin said in an interview on The Talk.

The chunky little “Queen of Tutu” was fierceness personified, and she won our hearts.

Eat your Wheaties, say your prayers, and listen to Aretha`s “Respect” and you too can be fierce like a mother.

Respect the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin

The Queen of Soul has passed on to the other side, and she`s now singing in the heavenly choir, but her music transcended generations and will continue to be enjoyed and appreciated for generations to come.
Aretha is a soul and gospel icon, a civil rights champion, and a powerful voice that testifies to the heights that humanity can soar. Aretha leaves behind an astounding body of work, and tomes will be written about the impact she had on music and society at large.
In this essay I will focus on my favorite Aretha song, “Respect.” Who isn`t familiar with the soul classic that was written and recorded by Otis Redding in 1965, but of course the definite version is Aretha`s single released in 1967.
“Respect” became a civil rights mantra and an anthem for women`s rights, but at its core the song is a plea for respect in the bedroom. “Respect” was a euphemism for sex, and Aretha wanted her man to sock it to her when she got home.
This earthy appeal for her man to satisfy a woman`s sexual needs became an eloquent anthem for the struggle for civil rights. But when I hear “Respect” women`s rights and human rights aren`t uppermost in my mind, I simply get lost in the passion and the rhythm and I can`t help but sing along. As the young kids say, That`s my jam!

Aretha has earned my respect, and the respect of millions of people all over the world. As Birdman would say put some Respeck on her name, as you eulogize the Queen of Soul.

If the Donald Trump ‘N-Word’ Tape is Released Will it Bring Down His Presidency?

White House Press Secretary is the Queen of Liars, she would proclaim that she`s seen the presidential penis and can confirm that it`s thicker, longer and stronger than a tactical flashlight, if requested to do so by her pathological liar boss.

But she was unable to guarantee to the American public that a recording of Trump saying the N-Word doesn`t exist, which pretty much guarantees that such a tape is locked away in someone`s vault.

Omarosa released an audio tape of her and two other Trump staffers discussing the existence of a recording of Trump saying “nigger” as if the Holy Grail of politicians caught on tape saying outrageous things really exists.

If Trump publicly questions the intelligence of prominent African Americans, and calls them losers and dogs on Twitter, you can bet that he uses racial slurs to describe them in private.

A racist with a penchant for using the phrase “the blacks” in public will almost certainly refer to them as “the niggers” in private.

I would venture to guess that there`s more than one tape where Trump is caught using the most vile word in the English language, the only question is will it ever surface?

And if it is released to the media, will it bring down the Trump presidency? Of course not! Trump survived the release of the Hollywood Access tape, and he will weather the storm if the N-Word tape ever sees the light of day.

Trump`s racist base already knows that their hero is racist, they would get a kick out of hearing him calling blacks that loathsome word. They would dismiss the tape as harmless private banter.

The Republican-controlled Congress wouldn`t even censure him, arguing that indiscrete words spoken in private don`t rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors.

Sorry my fellow Democrats and Independents who are sick and tired of Trump`s racism, misogyny, homophobia, and plain stupidity, neither a Golden Showers tape nor an N-Word tape will bring down the Trump presidency.

Donald Trump’s Base is an Evangelical Cult

Two weeks before the Iowa caucuses, in January 2016, the longshot Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump bragged to a crowd in Sioux City: “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn`t lose any voters, okay? It`s, like, incredible.

At the time Trump`s prescient, and indeed prophetic statement, was derided as just another boast from the reality TV charlatan.

But now that statement is recited with awe and reverence by his fanatical base the same way Christians recite the words of Jesus recorded in the Gospels.

Two and a half years later Trump has survived multiple scandals and outrageous statements that would have ended the presidential campaign of any other candidate, and would have led to the impeachment of any other president.

Trumpism isn`t an alt-right offshoot of the Republican Party so much as it is an evangelical cult. A Trump stump speech, and it`s instructive that he still regularly holds campaign rallies, is like a church service. Trump rails against the media and Democrats the same way a televangelist condemns gays and godless liberals. A preacher`s sermon might be punctuated with “Amens” and “Halleluiahs” by the faithful, Trump`s speech will be interrupted by chants of “Lock Her Up” and “Build the Wall.”

You can`t use logic or reason to appeal to a member of a cult, he will just stare at you with a blank expression and quote from his holy book, and you can`t convince a Trump supporter that he`s worshipping a False Messiah, he will just stare at you with an evil expression and recite a Trump tweet.

The Grand Old Party has been taken over by a cult, and in order to save its soul, Republicans must impeach Trump, and excommunicate members of his heretical sect.

Republicans can`t afford to appease or compromise with Trump and his base without destroying everything they stand for, they must smite these heretics hip and thigh.

Trump has stood in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shot the independent judiciary, the media, and our Constitution, and he hasn`t lost any support. We must remove Trump by any means necessary.

Omarosa Claims Trump Wanted to Get Sworn in on ‘The Art of the Deal’ Instead of the Bible at his Inauguration

“In her new memoir, `Unhinged,` former White House adviser Omarosa Manigault Newman claims President Donald Trump considered getting sworn in for the presidency on his book, `The Art of the Deal.`

In the days leading up to his inauguration, Trump allegedly said, `Omarosa, what do you think about me getting sworn in on `The Art of the Deal?`

Though it`s not mandatory for presidents to use the Bible for the swearing-in portion of an inauguration ceremony, it has been standard practice throughout US history. Manigault Newman questioned Trump as to why he wouldn`t continue this trend.

`The Art of the Deal` is a bestseller! It`s the greatest business book of all time,` she says Trump told her. `It`s how I`m going to make great deals for the country. Just think how many copies I`d sell-maybe commemorative a inauguration copy?!`”

Business Insider

If Donald Trump ever writes a book it will be an autobiography, he couldn`t possibly focus on any subject other than himself for more than a few minutes.

Unfortunately, he doesn`t have the intellectual acumen to write a children`s book, much less a memoir.

Trump`s 1998 bestselling memoir was ghostwritten entirely by Tony Schwartz, not a jot or a tittle was written by the Stable Genius. Of course that doesn`t stop the functional illiterate from claiming credit.

It would have been appropriate for a fake president to get sworn in using a fake book as opposed to the Bible. I doubt that Trump has read either book, although he`s more familiar with “The Art of the Deal.”

Trump never misses a chance to make a buck, and he would have been delighted with the prospect of selling commemorative inauguration copies of “The Art of the Deal.”

Omarosa convinced her erstwhile reality TV buddy to follow convention and use the Bible. If Trump had used his memoir or a Penthouse Magazine his fervent white evangelical supporters would still have worshipped him as the Messiah.

Donald Trump Vs the Press: Whose Side Are You On?

Autocrats, whether they are right-wing fascists or left-wing dictators, consolidate power by attacking all rival spheres of power and influence. It`s Dictatorship 101 to emasculate an independent judiciary, intimidate the legislative branch and ridicule the press.

Donald Trump doesn`t have the intellect or patience to adhere to any particular political ideology, the only philosophy that he subscribes to is that of the narcissist, self-aggrandizement and burnishing his brand at any cost.

Trump`s attacks on individual judges and the justice system has been well chronicled, he expected the judicial system to vindicate his anti-constitutional executive orders.

Trump has the GOP-controlled House and Senate under his complete control, to the point where no Republican leader, with the exception of those who aren`t running for reelection, dare call him out on his racism, misogyny and just plain stupidity.

Trump`s campaign shtick included belittling the press, and he branded the news media “the enemy of the American people” a month after taking the oath of office. In the intervening months he has intensified his attack on the press. He can`t hold a press conference or deliver a stump speech without labeling the media “fake news” a dozen times.

In the last few months Trump has amped up his attack on journalists by labeling them, “the enemy of the people, a phrase made popular by Joseph Stalin.

This has been a one-sided war, Trump regularly blasts the press, and the fourth estate cowers under his belligerence.

But enough is enough! The editorial board of the Boston Globe is urging newspapers and online news outlets across our democracy to express their disgust for the president`s anti-press rhetoric on August 16, by writing editorials extolling free speech and condemning Trump`s war against the press.

So far over 100 news outlets have agreed – from large metropolitan newspapers to low-circulation small town weekly newspapers. I urge bloggers to join the bandwagon, in the last two years I`ve written over 200 anti-Trump essays, and I`m not going to stop until Trump is impeached and removed from office.

The press represents the American people, they uncover the truth, and speak that truth to power, to hold our elected officials accountable to the people.

At this critical juncture in the history of our democracy, I have made it crystal clear where I stand on this issue. How about you, will you stand with the press, or will you continue to enable an autocratic racist moron?

Madonna Thinks all Modern Music Sounds the Same

“Although this year has brought us some pretty good albums and singles – Scorpion, Liberation, the numerous G.O.O.D. Music releases, Everything Is Love, Lost and Found, Testing and lots more in different genres, Madonna`s still left unpleased saying there`s no distinction between all the sounds. The 59-year-old pop singer recently chatted with Vogue Italia and talked about the current landscape of music, in her eyes.

Madonna is currently preparing an upcoming album and living in Lisbon, Portugal, telling the publication how her new city provides a lot of inspiration for her craft. `It`s also such a nice antidote to what`s going on in the music business now where everything`s so formulaic, and every song has 20 guest artists on it, and everyone sounds the same. Something`s gotta give,` she explained.”

HNHH

The Material Girl turns 60 this month, but she`s not at home in her mansion knitting thongs, and complaining about how today`s music sucks.

The sexy sexagenarian tours regularly, and she`s working on a new album to be released later this year, but actually she does criticize the state of today`s music.

The pop icon is entitled to her opinion, and aspiring singers and established artists would be well-advised to listen.

First of all they should listen to Madonna`s classic albums like: Like a Virgin, Ray of Light, Confessions on a Dance Floor, and Like a Prayer. The Queen of Pop made a huge impact on music with her originality, innovation, strong lyrical skills, and mediocre vocals.

Then they should listen to her criticism of the current landscape of music, the shit all sounds the same.

Why does almost every artist, especially in the hip hop genre, feel compelled to include 20 guest artists and a dozen producers in their albums? This insanity makes it almost impossible for a singular voice to rise to the top, and revolutionize the music industry.

I`m just going to listen to Madonna`s albums until today`s musical “stars” grow some balls, have faith in their music, and not include a dozen guest singers and rappers on their albums.

Old Man, 70, Mounts 11 Phones to Bicycle to Play ‘Pokemon Go’

“A 70-year-old Taiwan man has become a local celebrity after being spotted around the city playing Pokemon Go on 11 smartphones mounted to his bike.
Chen San-yuan who said he sometimes stays out until 4 a.m. hunting for Pokemon, said he became hooked on Pokemon Go after his grandson showed him how to play in 2016.”

UPI

Most senior citizens have a basic flip style cell phone with big, easy-to-read, raised buttons with large print, and a limited number of apps.

But Chen San-yuan aka “Uncle Pokemon” has 11 smartphones mounted to his bicycle to enable him to capture, battle and train virtual creatures. I`m not sure that`s a good idea, he may ride his bike over a cliff in search of Pokemon. Why can`t he be like most septuagenarians and prowl the attic in search of German soldiers?

The old codger became hooked on Pokemon Go when his grandson showed him how to play, and he spends $1,300 on his hobby. I suspect the grandson`s parents want to choke the stupid kid, gramps is burning their inheritance.

At least Uncle Pokemon isn`t driving while playing the damn game, an elderly Asian driver in search of virtual creatures — that wouldn`t end well.

Woman Tells Cops She Shouldn’t be Arrested Because She’s a Clean White Girl

“A 32-year-old Bluffton woman tried to talk police out of arresting her Saturday by telling them she was a very clean, thoroughbred, white girl, a sorority sister and a cheerleader who is dating a cop.

Officers said they saw Lauren Elizabeth Cutshaw speed through a stop sign in a four-way stop intersection at about 1:45 a.m.

A Bluffton police report said when officers pulled Cutshaw over, she was slurring her words and she failed a Breathalyzer test.”

WYFF News

Blondie is the poster girl for white privilege, she expected to be let off with a warning even though she failed a Breathalyzer test, sped through a stop sign, and was in possession of marijuana. She expected her freshly scrubbed white face to be her “get out of jail free card.”

Becky`s argument isn`t as silly as it sounds, she was not so subtly reminding a white police officer that they usually spend their time stopping black motorists for trivial reasons and then blowing them away to Kingdom Come when they reach for their wallet.

Barbie`s “innocent white girl act” didn`t work, she was arrested and incarcerated. I hope they threw her in the drunk tank, where she would no doubt become intimately acquainted with inmates of color who have no tolerance for her white privilege.

Top Ten Ways to Celebrate International Cat Day

Flood the inbox of all of your friends and acquaintances with cat pics.

Respond only with a “meow” or a “purr” all freaking day long.

Act finicky, for example when the cashier at McDonald`s ask you “Do you want fries with that?” answer “Yes, but make sure they are lightly salted, uniform in size, and not too hot.”

Knead your coworker`s belly, and when they stare at you in amazement, say “You`re Welcome” and walk away.

Take a crap in your neighbor`s flower bed.

Take a nap on your coworker`s keyboard.

Wake up your partner by biting her toe.

Walk on your girlfriend when she`s napping on the sofa, and when she screams, “What the hell is wrong with you? reply “I`m hungry bitch, feed me.”

Yell in a crowded restaurant, “Someone Heimlich maneuver my punk ass, I have a hairball stuck in my throat.”

Take a Garfield stuffed animal to work and set up a shrine to Lord Cat in your cubicle.

Do You Talk to Your Cat in ‘Cat’ or ‘Human’?

“How often do you meow or purr at your cat? Are you more likely to talk to your cat in `cat` or in `human`? Occasionally I find myself purring back at my cat Lovie, if she has wandered up to say hi to me while I`m working and is busy purring in my direction. Sometimes I`ll give her a little meow, too. Until I read a new study on cat-human interactions, it hadn`t occurred to me to notice that although I `talk` to Lovie using cat sounds, I never talk to my dog Bella using dog vocalizations-I don`t ever bark or growl at Bella. I talk to Bella all the time, but in human language.”

Psychology Today/ Jessica Pierce Ph.D.

I take a lot of heat from my coworkers for being an unabashed cat lover, they look at me askance when I have the temerity to post photos of my kitties Tico and Ebony on my computer desktop.

Even though they know I also own a Pit Bull/German Shepherd mix, they don`t exactly regard me as a paragon of masculinity.

I kiss, cuddle and pet my feline companions, but if I ever greet them with a purr or a meow, I will turn in my man card. That`s where I draw the line!

My cats have little respect for me as it is, they walk on my keyboard when I`m writing my essays, and they plop on my face when I`m taking a nap. If I talked to them in cat language, they would lose all respect for me, and I just might find a hairball on my pillow every night.

Women, on the other hand, have a penchant for talking to cats in cat language and nobody bats an eye. It looks cute and sexy when a female purrs at a kitten, but if a guy does it he looks like a total pussy … cat.

Vive la difference! Ladies keep talking cat to your pets, and I will continue to talk to my pooch and my two cats in human.

Joe Arpaio Tells Sacha Baron Cohen He Would Accept Oral Sex From Donald Trump

“Plenty of people have accused Joe Arpaio, the Donald Trump-pardoned former Arizona sheriff, of not knowing what he`s talking about. Arpaio handed them even more ammo than necessary when he got duped by Sacha Baron Cohen into an impossibly bizarre conversation in which Arpaio spoke sternly to a tiny toy donut about the need for guns, conceded that President Trump has most likely had a “golden shower,” and admitted that he would accept an offer of “a blow job” from Trump.”

Deadline

Sacha Baron Cohen has the easiest gig on television, making fools out of Republican conservatives the likes of Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin and Judge Roy Moore.

Forgive me for the explicit language, but it seems that whenever I write about a Trump-loving conservative I am forced to wallow in filth.

Arpaio, you might remember is the blatant racist best known for illegally detaining Latinos and for housing inmates in concentration camp like tent cities.

President Trump issued his first ever presidential pardon to Arpaio in August 2017, and you`d think he would defend the moral virtue of the president. But instead he conceded that Trump probably enjoyed a golden shower.

Trump`s base, made of white evangelicals and other assorted riff-raff, knows that their Messiah is a racist and a moral degenerate, but they don`t give a fuc*.

I wouldn`t be surprised if every night Trump`s God-fearing Cabinet pisses into his golden tub, and then hold hands and pray as Mike Pence baptizes him.

Baron Cohen asked the sheriff: “If Donald Trump calls you up after this and says, `Sheriff Joe, I want to offer you an amazing blow job,` would you say yes?” “I may have to say yes,” Arpaio replied. There`s a long line of Trump sycophants and enablers waiting in line to pleasure Trump`s puny presidential pecker, and I`m sure Mike Pence enjoys the privilege of cutting in line, whenever the Spirit moves him.

To top things off Arpaio lectured a tiny plastic donut about gun rights. White evangelicals and white conservatives are such freaking wankers, we may need a revolution to rid our democracy of these moral degenerates.

First Lady Melania Trump Praises LeBron James

“First lady Melania Trump praised LeBron James less than a day after President Donald Trump lashed out at the NBA star on Twitter.

She also said she is open to visiting the school for underprivileged children James recently opened in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, which he said in an interview that aired last week prioritizes a holistic experience for students.”

Business Insider

This is a follow-up to my essay: Donald Trump Attacks LeBron James on Twitter!

http://thesop.org/story/20180804/donald-trump-attacks-lebron-james-on-twitter.html

Trump`s racist tweet was universally condemned, even the First Lady defended the character and integrity of the superstar athlete.

The tweet was blatantly racist, Trump invariably attacks the intelligence of prominent African Americans who disagree with his policies, he`s questioned the intelligence of Maxine Waters, Don Lemon and LiAngelo Ball.

First Lady spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham issued this statement:

“It looks like LeBron James is working to do good things on behalf of our next generation and just as she always has, the First Lady encourages everyone to have an open dialogue about issues facing children today.”

The statement also mentioned “responsible online behavior” and said that Melania would be open to visiting the school.

I don`t expect Melania to vociferously protest her husband`s online bullying behavior, but at least she subtly rebuked him by citing “responsible online behavior” in the same statement in which she defended James.

I hope she does visit the school for underprivileged children James opened in Akron, wouldn`t that be a slap on the face to Trump?

More Republicans need to “Be Best” and follow Melania`s example and rebuke Trump when he waxes racist on Twitter.

Donald Trump Attacks LeBron James on Twitter!

“Tweeters erupted in anger after President Donald Trump trashed NBA superstar LeBron James on Friday night:

`LeBron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made LeBron look smart, which isn`t easy to do. I like Mike!`

Trump used Twitter to bash both James and CNN host Don Lemon, after finally watching an interview between the pair that aired on Monday.

During the interview, James (who in July signed for the Los Angeles Lakers) accused Trump of enabling racists and using sports to divide the country.”

Huffington Post

I was born in San Francisco, and in my 20`s I moved to Oakland. As a native San Franciscan I followed the San Francisco Giants closely, the fortunes of my Giants took a back seat only to my career and personal relationships.

When I moved to Oakland I found a good job in that blue collar city, and my loyalties were divided, I still bled orange and black, but I developed a fondness for the Oakland A`s.

I attended my games at the Oakland Coliseum, and I always wondered how many of my bleacher buddies had divided loyalties like me. San Francisco and Oakland are connected by the Oakland Bay Bridge, and there are some baseball fans in the Bay Area who root for both teams.

But I never wondered how many fans in the stadium were liberals like me, and how many were conservatives. For those three hours that we were at the ballpark, we weren`t liberals or conservatives, black or white, rich or poor, Christians or atheists, we were damn Oakland A`s fans.

Sports unifies a community like nothing else, when the Giants or the A`s wins the World Series you will see hundreds of thousands of citizens of every ethnicity, religion and social class celebrate together is the streets.

With his wizardry on the basketball court, King James unites the thousands fortunate enough to watch him play in person, and the millions who watch him on television.

Millions of kids who watch LeBron are colorblind to his ethnicity, it`s his mad skills that captivates them, and makes them want to be just like him.

LeBron is spot on, Trump enables racists and uses sports to divide the country. Instead of celebrating the athleticism of NFL players and the community work that many of them do, Trump demonizes the mostly black players who take a knee during the National Anthem as a protest against police brutality and racial profiling.

That`s why millions of Americans want their children to grow up to be like LeBron a gifted athlete who is involved in many philanthropic enterprises, including building a school for at risk children in Akron.

And only the most deluded Trump supporters want their children to grow up to be like the orange racist moron.

Donald Trump Doesn’t Know England From the UK From a Hole in the Ground

“Trump appeared not to know the difference among the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England during a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Thursday night.

`I have great respect for the U.K., United Kingdom, great respect,` said Trump. `People call it Britain. They call it Great Britain. They used to call it England, different parts.`

Folks online were keen to point out that Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales – and the United Kingdom is made up of those three countries, plus Northern Ireland. They also noted how the country of England is most definitely still called England, despite Trump`s claim.

Huffington Post

When Trump delivers a stump speech at a rally it`s a stream of consciousness flood of lies, insults and nonsense; it`s difficult to discern if the words are emanating from his sphincter-like mouth or his actual a-hole.

It`s safe to assume there`s no atlas in his mind, and he confuses England from the United Kingdom from a hole in the ground. It`s a sorry state of affairs when the putative Leader of the Free World doesn`t know jack about geography.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but everybody who isn`t a wanker calls our ally “England.”

I wouldn`t be surprised if Prime Minister Theresa May, whom some idiots call “President,” sends an email to Trump requesting that he never set foot on English soil again.

Every time Trump opens his trap he proves that he`s no stable genius, but a man of dubious intelligence, otherwise know as a fuc*ing moron.

Donald Trump Says Americans Need a Photo ID to Go Grocery Shopping! Wanker!

“US President Donald Trump has been accused of being out of touch with voters after saying Americans need identification to go shopping.

At a rally in Tampa, Florida, he said: `You know, if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card, you need ID.`”

BBC

In 1992, when President George H.W. Bush was amazed by a grocery store barcode scanner the story went viral in the pre-internet age because it fit the stereotype of Bush as a rich old patrician out of touch with the lives of the common man.

It`s incomprehensible why Trump enjoys the fervent support of blue collar Americans, even though he doesn`t know anything about their daily lives, and could give a shit.

Trump`s executive orders and the bills passed by the Republican-controlled Congress have benefited corporations and wealthy individuals, and have damaged the interests of the working class.

But you wouldn`t know it by the enthusiastic response that Trump receives whenever he has a campaign-style rally. The morons even cheered him when he made his ridiculous statement that you couldn`t buy groceries without a photo ID.

Bush`s reputation as an out of touch politician was cemented by the barcode scanner fiasco, and he lost his re-election bid to Bill Clinton. Trump on the other hand may be full of shit, but he`s coated with Teflon, and he can get away with saying whatever nonsense pops into his head.

Cat Yoga is a Thing! Really!

Cat yoga is a thing! Why you may ask? Perhaps you will achieve some clarity once I explain that is an almost 100% female trend. Is it strange that cat ladies would have odd hobbies?

I don`t care if cat ladies practice cat yoga or cat synchronized swimming, as long as I`m not forced to watch.

I`m not a yoga kind of guy, I`d rather attain peace with my inner child by watching football.

But I am a cat person, and cuddling with my cat while he purrs will make me achieve bliss a hell of a lot faster than practicing yoga with him.

But to each his own, and I will certainly agree that yoga, or anything else, is better with a kitty.

Trump Will Be Brought Down by Financial Crimes, Not by a Pee Tape

According to a Quinnipiac University poll published last week, the majority of American voters now believe the President of Russia has compromising information on the President of the United States. In other words, they believe Trump is being blackmailed.

This is a post-Helsinki Summit poll after Americans and the entire world witnessed Trump acting like a lapdog, poodle, and treasonous dog in the presence of alpha dog Putin.

Many are wondering if maybe the most salacious allegation in the Steele dossier is true, namely that in 2013 then citizen Trump hired Russian prostitutes to perform a golden showers show in front of him, aimed at defiling the bed of the Ritz-Carlton presidential suite, where Michelle and Barack Obama once slept.

I wouldn`t be surprised if Trump was into golden showers, after all something must account for his urine-colored coiffure. You don`t have to be a psychologist to know that the rich and powerful have a penchant for enjoying sadomasochistic hijinks.

A Trump pee tape may or may not exist, but I don`t think it would be enough to blackmail a freak like him. Everybody, including his base, knows that Trump is a sexual deviant, and the release of such a tape would have no effect on his approval ratings.

If the tape was released online evangelical Christians would proclaim that the Russian hookers were angels in disguise and that holy water was emanating from their holy orifices.

It ain`t about the sex, it`s about the money! Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating collusion and obstruction, but I bet most of all he`s following the money.

Putin knows everything that happens in his dictatorship, and I bet he`s using Trump`s shady deals in Russia to blackmail him.

“In 2008, Donald Jr. told investors in Moscow that Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets, while Eric reportedly told a golf reporter in 2014 that the Trump Organization was able to expand during the financial crisis because `We don`t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.`”

It`s not a deluge of urine that will bring down Trump, it`s the swamp of financial corruption that will be exposed by the Mueller investigation that will destroy the bastard.

Melania Trump Looked Horrified After Shaking Hands With Putin

“Donald Trump`s meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin on Monday was disaster-like for many reasons, but one totally overlooked part of it was the precise moment in which Melania Trump shook Putin`s hand and ended up with a look of pure terror on her face. Seriously, it was caught on camera for the entire world to see.”

Cosmopolitan

Like a typical First Lady Melania Trump has a talent for putting on a smiling face when greeting foreign dignitaries and attending public events with her husband.

But sometimes the mask slips and for a brief moment we glimpse her true emotion, whether it be boredom, anger or sheer terror.

On January 20, 2017, as Donald Trump became the 45th president of the United States, Melania looked ashen, but when he turned around to look at her, her face broke out into a beaming smile, and then instantly turned ice cold again when he turned back around.

Melania is unable to look adoringly at her husband, Mike Pence style, for a sustained period of time, her true feelings of disgust will inevitably explode to the surface.

When Melania Trump shook Russian President Vladimir Putin`s hand in Helsinki, a look of abject terror was frozen on her face. Keep in mind that poor Melania is forced to occasionally hold the grotesquely small hand of her husband, in other words she`s used to holding the hand of a monster.

Melania knows that her husband is an evil and stupid buffoon, but she instantly recognized that there`s no buffoonery or stupidity in Putin, only pure evil, and that scared the hell out of her.

If only Trump realized that Putin isn`t his buddy or a friendly competitor, but a ruthless dictator who`s making him his bitch.

Kevin Durant Says That ‘Donald Trump Doesn’t Have a Soul’! Amen!

“Kevin Durants distaste for President Donald Trump is well documented, and on Wednesday, the Warriors star stated that the president doesn`t have a soul.

During an appearance on Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum`s podcast `Pull Up,` Durant called President Trump “heartless.”

`He doesn`t have a soul, bro,` Durant said. `I don`t even know, he don`t have a soul. He doesn`t have a soul. The stuff he says and does, bro. Like, you gotta have something deep down … Something`s missing for you to say that type of stuff.`”

SFGate.Com

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin is a question that philosophers and theologians have pondered, so I don`t think it`s a fruitless intellectual endeavor to consider whether or not Donald Trump has a soul.

You don`t have to be a theologian, philosopher or an intellectual giant (judging by Durant`s grade school grammar) to weigh in on this subject.

Durant`s bold proclamation doesn`t merit a CNN “Breaking News” alert, practically every Christian, Muslim, Jew and atheist will concur that Trump`s speech, behavior and political directives proves he is devoid of a soul.

White evangelicals are the only ones who would argue that not only does Trump have a soul, but that he`s a spiritual brother of Jesus Christ.

Satan has a special room in hell reserved for white evangelicals, but alas that room is destined to remain forever empty because like their false Messiah they don`t possess a soul.

When I hear Trump say that Mexican immigrants are rapists, I say to myself: He doesn`t have a soul! When he decimates Obamacare, a lifeline to the poor and disenfranchised, I say to myself: He doesn`t have a soul! When he brags about grabbing women by their genitals, I say to myself, He doesn`t have a soul! When he viciously attacks his opponents on Twitter, I say to myself: He doesn`t have a soul! Practically every day I say to myself: He doesn`t have a soul!

Kevin Durant is spot on, Trump doesn`t have a soul!
