White Evangelicals are as Execrable as Their Orange Messiah, Donald Trump

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.”

Exodus 20: 3 & 4

Anything a Christian places before God, whether it’s something material, a philosophy or a human being is an idol.

Admiring a human being isn’t a sin, there are many individuals worthy of admiration: who doesn’t admire the intelligence of Albert Einstein, the, the physical prowess of Lebron James, the courage of Martin Luther King Jr., and the integrity and eloquence of Abraham Lincoln?

But the most admirable human being in the world falls far short of the perfection of God, and a believer must never ascribe the qualities of deity to any man or woman.

White evangelicals are guilty of the sin of idolatry, they have elevated the physically and morally repulsive Donald Trump to the level of a deity. Evangelist Franklin Graham compared House Republicans who voted for Trump’s impeachment to Jesus’ betrayer, Judas Iscariot. Pastor John MacArthur proclaimed that true believers had to vote for him. Donald Trump, not Jesus Christ, is the Messiah that evangelicals worship.

They accept every utterance that emanates from Trump’s sphincter-shaped mouth as the Gospel, and they take umbrage at anyone who ridicules or criticizes his vain babbling.

You will become like the person you worship. White evangelicals have become as racist, misogynist, homophobic, vindictive, xenophobic and just plain evil as their Orange Messiah.

History will judge Donald Trump and his evangelical followers as one of the greatest threats ever posed to our secular democracy.

Pastor John Hagee’s Cornerstone Church Holds Rally Where Audience Chants ‘Let’s Go, Brandon’

John Hagee’s Cornerstone Church in San Antonio hosted the Reawaken America Tour when a speaker led the audience in a chant of “Let’s Go, Brandon,” a euphemism for “Fuck Joe Biden.”

Several prominent Christian figures condemned the chant, arguing it was out of place at a gathering held in a Christian church.

I agree that such a hateful and disrespectful chant is out of place at a Christian house of worship, but it’s not out of place at an evangelical church. I draw a distinction between Christianity and the Evangelical movement, which is a bastardization of the faith.

John Hagee is an influential evangelical leader and a vehement defender of former president Donald Trump, and the evangelical movement has made common cause with Trump and every vile thing he stands for.

Instead of abjectly apologizing the Cornerstone Church issued the following press release:

“This past week, Cornerstone Church facilities were used by an outside organization. Cornerstone Church is not associated with this organization and does not endorse their views.”

Hagee rented his facilities to an organization he knew was far-right and white nationalist in its leanings, and he is responsible for everything take takes place in his church. Unlike Hagee I’m not a sanctimonious asshole who pretends to be shocked by the use of profanity. All I have to say is Fuck John Hagee, Fuck Reawaken America and Fuck Evangelicals.  

Donald Trump Will Win if He Faces a Frail Joe Biden or a Cackling Kamala Harris in 2024

Donald Trump almost destroyed our democracy during his tenure, and after his landslide election loss to Joe Biden only his incompetence and the courage of a few key Republican election officials prevented his coup from being successful.  

The Trump administration was marked by chaos, corruption and criminality, there were no guard rails and no adults in the house to curb his worst instincts.

America breathed a collective sigh of relief after Joe Biden was inaugurated, and many of us fooled ourselves into thinking that Trump would never be elected president again.

But Trump retains complete control of the Republican Party and his base is as committed as ever to their orange messiah.

If the physically frail and mentally impaired Joe Biden survives his term in office, he will be 82 if he runs for reelection. I don’t think Biden will have the energy or the inclination to run for reelection, and I don’t think the Democratic Party would allow such a farce to play out.

I don’t think Vice President, Kamala Harris, is perceived as Biden’s likely successor, currently her approval rating is a dismal 28 percent.  The Elmo of the Biden administration doesn’t have the gravitas, charisma or political skills to run a successful presidential campaign.

Donald Trump will win if he faces Harris or Biden in 2024, and this time he will be completely out-of-control, with no worries about reelection to curb his behavior. It’s not too early to worry about who will succeed Biden, and it’s incumbent upon Democratic presidential hopefuls to start planning their presidential campaigns.

Kellyanne Conway is Like a Tinder Date From Hell

You finally meet your Tinder date and you are appalled to discover it’s Kellyanne Conway, your testicles shrivel, your eyes turn glassy and you swear on your mother’s grave that you will never swipe right again.

Then after a few drinks the clock strikes midnight, and she turns into the Crypt Keeper and starts uttering racist garbage and you determine to sue Tinder if you survive your date from hell.

Kellyanne is trending on Twitter because in a Fox News interview she uttered this patently ridiculous statement:

“I worked in that White House for four years. We never even heard of a such of a thing. There was no supply chain crisis”

Conway is stuck in a twilight zone where alternative facts are accepted as Gospel. No supply chain crisis during the Trump administration? Really? Bitch, please!

I remember a shortage of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol, PPE Gear (masks, gloves, ventilators), COVID tests and vaccines.

Conway the Crypt Keeper is really more like Freddy Krueger or any of those movie monsters who are seemingly invincible, who keep coming back from the dead to terrorize a new generation of clueless teenagers.

Conway please just shut up; I don’t ever want to see you trending on Twitter again.

Trump’s PAC Offers Christmas Wrapping Paper Bearing His Likeness for $35 Donation

“With just 54 days until Christmas, Donald Trump’s political action committee, Save America, is enticing supporters of the former president to donate more than $35 in exchange for ‘Official Trump Wrapping Paper.’

‘President Trump asked us to personally reach out to you because he wants to make sure you get our NEW Trump Gift Wrapping Paper in time for Christmas,’ an email sent to supporters Monday reads.”

Audacy.com

Donald Trump isn’t the Grinch who stole Christmas, he’s the Grifter who exploits Christmas to squeeze every last red cent from his gullible supporters.

Perhaps Melania could do a commercial for Trump’s Christmas wrapping paper: Who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff and decorations? But I will accept expensive fucking Xmas gifts wrapped in Trump wrapping paper.

Trump’s sycophants have a penchant for wearing Trump-branded attire to signify their allegiance to their Orange Messiah, and I have no doubt that Save America will sell out their stockpile of “Official Trump Wrapping Paper.”

If I receive a gift wrapped in Trump wrapping paper, I would throw it away without unwrapping it because nobody who supports the short-fingered vulgarian has the good taste to buy a gift that I would find appealing.

On second thought I might keep the Trump wrapping paper and use it as toilet paper.

Trump is the Messiah Evangelicals Deserve

Evangelicals emphasize the born again experience as fundamentally necessary to be a member in good standing of their community. If you don’t claim Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you will never become a member of their tribe.

It’s a common practice in church services and youth groups for new converts to share their testimony of how they came to Jesus. New believers tend to embellish their sinful past, because the more dramatic their testimony the more warmly they will be welcomed to the fold. Evangelicals love to hear a testimony of how a person who was in the depths of depravity found forgiveness and grace in Jesus Christ.

It’s de rigueur for an evangelist holding a revival crusade to share his testimony, usually on the last day. Nothing short of a Paul’s epiphany on the road to Damascus or a Prodigal Son experience will satisfy the congregation.

If the thrice married, serial philander, pathological liar, and braggadocios former casino owner Donald Trump repented of his sins, and accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior it’s understandable if he was embraced by evangelicals

Trump hasn’t repented of his sins, every day he finds new and innovative ways of breaking The Ten Commandments. He’s never claimed to be a born-again Christian and he only attends church on Easter and Christmas. The short-fingered vulgarian said he’s never sought forgiveness for his sins; I can’t imagine him prostrating himself before the Almighty.

Nevertheless, not only has Trump been enthusiastically received by evangelicals, but he’s been treated as the Anointed One who will Make America Great Again.

This paradox illustrates the truth that evangelicals care more about their political objectives than they do about their mission to evangelize the world. Trump’s adherence to Republican orthodoxy (pro-life, anti-immigrant, strong military, anti-gay) covers his myriad sins.

Cowboys for Trump Founder Couy Griffin Blasts Trump at QAnon Conference

“Addressing a crowd at a QAnon conference in Las Vegas over the weekend, Cowboys for Trump founder Couy Griffin turned against former President Donald Trump.

‘We supported President Trump for his fight for justice as well,’ said Griffin. ‘And for four years we cried ‘lock her up. Lock her up. Lock her up.’ We know she’s a criminal. What did the president tell us? ‘If I was in charge, you’d be in jail.’

‘Ok, Mr. President, you’ve been in charge of the law for four years,’ he continued. ‘At the end of your four-year time, the only ones locked up were men like me, and others like me, that have stood by the president the strongest.’”

Raw Story

It’s hilarious that there’s a group called “Cowboys for Trump”, the besotted billionaire wouldn’t recognize a real cowboy if he lassoed him and branded his fat ass with a mark identifying him as his bitch.

When the founder of the Cowboys for Trump rails against Trump at a QAnon conference, that’s a telling sign that the orange messiah may be losing his grip on his supporters.

After five years of hibernation Griffin finally woke up and realized that Hillary hasn’t been locked up, and she’ll never spend a day behind bars. During the 2016 presidential campaign the mantra “Lock Her Up” was uttered hundreds of times at MAGA rallies and Trump campaign appearances, and the Cowboys for Trump leader finally had an epiphany and realized that his Dear Leader has a penchant for making false campaign promises.

Trump is facing serious civil and criminal allegations, and there’s a good chance he’ll be locked up before his arch nemesis, Hillary.

Wake up cult members and smell the coffee like this Cowboys for Trump leader! Trump didn’t lock Hillary up, he didn’t build the wall, and he didn’t rescue thousands of boys and girls imprisoned in tunnels and bunkers by a cabal of pedophile Democratic politicians.

Trump: Republicans Won’t be Voting in 2020 or 2024 if ‘Presidential Election Fraud’ Not Solved

In a statement emailed to his supporters Trump said the following:

“If we don’t solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020 (which we have thoroughly and conclusively documented), Republicans will not be voting in ’22 or ’24.”

As usual the reality is the polar opposite of what Donald Trump asserts to be true. State and federal judges dismissed more than 50 lawsuits presented by then President Donald trump and his allies challenging the election or its outcome. The only thing that has been thoroughly and conclusively documented is that Trump spent his last months in power doing everything to undermine a free and fair election.

I instinctively and as a matter of course advise Trump’s devotees not to follow the advice of their morally bankrupt and intellectually deficient messiah.

But this is one time when I urge Trump’s supporters to heed the words of their Dear Leader. According to their eschatology Trump was anointed by God to Make America Great Again, and that means that they must accept every utterance by him as the Word of God. Listen to your messiah and don’t participate in any rigged elections. Don’t vote for Republicans candidates in 2022 or 2024.

A broken clock is right twice a day and for once in his life Trump has given worthy advice: Stay home Republicans and don’t vote in 2022 and 2024.

Donald Trump: I’m Not Into Golden Showers

The National Republican Senatorial Committee held a retreat in Palm Springs, Florida to discuss their strategy for retaking the House and Senate in the midterm elections.

In a classic example of being off subject, unprompted Donald Trump blurted “I’m not into golden showers.” “You know the great thing, our great first lady, “That one, she said, I don’t believe that one.” Am I supposed to infer that Melania believes every other disgusting accusation against her husband?

The short-fingered vulgarian resurrected the unsubstantiated claim that he once ordered prostitutes to perform golden showers in front of him while at a hotel in Russia. There’s a rumor that the tawdry episode was captured on video.

Trump is a pathological liar, and if he declares, “I’m not into golden showers”, that means that he’s drowning in golden showers. I would bet his wispy hair is urine-colored because of his penchant for indulging in golden showers.

If a patriot leaks the Trump Golden Showers video it would break the internet, but it wouldn’t necessarily destroy Trump’s chances of retaking the White House in 2024. If a video emerged of prostitutes pissing on him, his evangelical believers would declare that we were witnessing a miracle: Angels showering their orange messiah with the blessings of the Holy Ghost.

The EPA should declare Trump a toxic waste site: his face is sprayed with suntan chemicals, his diapers are full of shit, he’s drenched in urine courtesy of Russian working girls, and one can only imagine how many STD’s thrive on his puny presidential pecker.

Trump is so disgusting, I can’t write another word and I’m going to take a nice long shower.

If the Physically Repulsive Trump Was Young and Handsome White Evangelicals Would Worship Him as Their New Savior

White evangelical Christians revere Donald Trump, and demonize his detractors and critics as godless liberals, socialists and infidels. Loyalty to Trump is as important to evangelicals as the divinity of Jesus Christ, the infallibility of the Bible and the sovereignty of God.

Trump is physically repulsive, witness his orange hued complexion, his wispy urine-colored hair, triple chin, sphincter-shaped mouth and tiny doll hands. In spite of Trump’s grotesque physical appearance and amoral character, evangelicals treat him like a demigod. I am convinced that if the short-fingered vulgarian was decades younger, handsome and articulate, white evangelicals would proclaim that he was the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Evangelicals main objective used to be to evangelize the world, that is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Their new mission is to spread Trumpism, especially its most important doctrine, the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen for their orange messiah.

A Christian can believe in the Trinity of God, the divinity of Jesus Christ, the inerrancy of Scripture and the need for a born-again experience, but if he doesn’t believe the Big Lie he is ostracized as a heretic.

Christians should reject the evangelical movement as a true expression of Christianity, and secular citizens should oppose evangelicals as zealously as they do Nazis and white supremacists.

Putin Intended to Distract Trump With Hot Female Translator at Japan Meeting

“Fiona Hill in an appearance on ‘Good Morning America’ on Monday confirmed that she believes Russian President Vladimir Putin deliberately chose an attractive woman to serve as his translator in order to distract former President Donald Trump during a 2019 meeting at the G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan.

A male interpreter was originally set to translate for the two world leaders but was replaced at ’the very last minute,’ Hill said.”

BusinessInsider.Com

Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former KGB foreign intelligence officer, is an expert at using a honeypot to manipulate adversaries.  The wily dictator knew that the best way to distract the serial philander American president and deceive him into giving away the store was by choosing a bombshell to serve as his translator.

Trump isn’t conversant with the nuances of geopolitics anyway, and it deosn’t take much to distract him at a meeting with a foreign head of state.

Trump and Putin may have been discussing Yugoslavia and Russian tampering in the 2016 election but the short-fingered vulgarian’s attention would have been focused on the beautiful translator’s boobs and ass.

If, God forbid, Trump is the 2024 Republican presidential nominee his Democratic opponent would be well-advised to employ Putin’s stratagem and bribe The Commission on Presidential Debates into selecting a porn star as a moderator. Trump will be so discombobulated that he will make an even bigger fool of himself than usual.

Trump Asks Federal Judge to Force Twitter to Reinstate His Account

When Donald Trump isn’t boldly asserting that windmills cause cancer, he is tilting at them. His latest exercise in futility is his attempt to intimidate a federal judge to force Twitter to allow him back on their platform.

Trump is a sore loser, witness his refusal to accept reality and admit that he lost to Biden in an electoral college and popular vote landslide. However much he may hate losing, he’s certainly had a lot of experience losing, especially in the legal realm. Dozens of his frivolous lawsuits against business rivals, celebrities and political opponents have been tossed out of court. The Trump campaign and allies filed at least 63 lawsuits during and after Election Day in an effort to reverse the will of the electorate, and they lost every one except for a relatively minor case.

Trump is alleging that Twitter is violating his First Amendment rights by censoring him. The pathological liar believes the First Amendment gives him the right to spread his false conspiracy theories and outright fabrications on every social media platform. Trump is as familiar with the Constitution as he is with the Bible, he has the misconception that the First Amendment protects his right to say whatever the hell he wants without limits. The First Amendment protects us against government censorship, a private company like Twitter can ban idiots and liars the likes of Trump.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist or a lawyer to know that no federal judge, not even one appointed by Trump, is going to force Twitter to reverse their lifetime ban of the short-fingered vulgarian.

The Big Loser is desperate to be relevant, he thrived on the instant gratification and instant feedback he received on Twitter, and he’s suffocating from the relative lack of attention.

Sorry Loser, you are destined to lose yet again in the courts.

Joe Biden: ‘I Give You My Word as a Biden’ Say What?

“I give you my word as a Biden: If you make under $400,000 a year, I’ll never raise your taxes one cent.

But, I’m going to make those at the top start to pay their share in taxes.

It’s only fair.”

Joe Biden September 26, 2021 Tweet

This tweet is patently false, the world’s largest bureaucracy, aka the federal government, can’t survive without ever increasing taxes and inevitably every president feels compelled to raise taxes.

According to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation, every taxpayer in every income bracket will see a tax increase by 2023.

But today’s essay isn’t about Biden’s tax policies; I take issue with the first words of his tweet: I give you my word as a Biden.

I take every president’s words with a grain of salt, just like you can count on taxes going up every year, you can count on a politician lying as a matter of course.

I’m not comparing Joe Biden to Donald Trump, the short-fingered vulgarian took lying to an extreme level, unusual even in the realm of politics.

No president should preface his remarks with the words, “I give you my word,” that expression just serves as a warning that bullshit is about to ensue.

Biden would be well-advised never to utter the words, “I give you my word as a Biden”, It’s not as if the surname “Biden” is renowned for truth telling.

The only president who could attach his surname to a promise to be truthful was Honest Abe, every other politician is hardly Lincolnesque when it comes to telling the truth.

Biden is a hundredfold improvement over the lying peace of excrement Trump, but please Joe never preface a bold lie with the words, “I give you my word”.

Trump Declined Charity Challenge to Go Vegan for a Month, Claiming it Would Kill Brain Cells

“Former White House Press Secretary and Communications Director Stephanie Grisham writes in her upcoming book I’ll take your questions now that ‘a young boy started publicly challenging Trump to go vegan for a month in TV ads and on highway billboards’ around the new year leading up to 2020.

Ms Grisham adds that the then-president’s answer was ‘swift, and his tone was suddenly very serious’.

‘No, no. It messes with your body chemistry, your brain,’ Mr Trump said. ‘And if I lose even one brain cell, we’re f***ed.’”

Independent

Donald Trump looks like a pig, eats like a pig and has the indiscriminate palate of a pig, I can’t see the morbidly obese septuagenarian going vegan for a day, let alone a month.

The charity’s generous promise that they would donate $1 million to veterans if Trump agreed wasn’t enough of an enticement. Even if the charity agreed to donate $50 million to veterans if Trump abstained from meat for just one day wouldn’t convince the former president to be a good sport and accept the challenge.

Apparently, Trump thinks the toxic ingredients in fast food (Potassium Bromate, Propylene Glycol, TBHQ, Calcium Sulfate and Phosphate Additives) don’t mess up his body chemistry or destroy his brain cells.

But he believes that a healthy salad or a delicious been soup would mess up his body chemistry. Trump’s poor diet is evidence that he has precious few brain cells, we were fucked indeed when he was president.

Hero Smears Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Star with Dog Feces

“Donald Trump’ star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been defaced yet again. The former president’s star, which has been vandalized multiple times, was recently covered with dog excrement.”

AcesShowbiz.Com

Donald Trump is the most despised former president since Richard Nixon, and his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has proven to be an irresistible target for his legion of haters.

His loathed star has been spray-painted with graffiti, crushed with a sledgehammer, attacked with a pickaxe, it has been assailed every imaginable way except with a miniature nuclear device.

So, I’m not surprised that Trump’s star has been defiled yet again, this time with dog excrement. Everything Trump touches turns to shit, it’s poetic justice that his star was smeared with canine feces.

The unknown individual will not be prosecuted for his patriotic action because what he did isn’t considered vandalism. If I lived in Hollywood, I would have my pooch drop a load on his star every day and twice on Sunday.

In insurance the Attractive Nuisance Doctrine is a tort law under which a homeowner may be liable for injuries to children who trespass on land if the injury results from a hazardous object that is likely to attract children. For example, if you have a trampoline on your front yard and a little brat in your neighborhood plays on it and cracks his head open, your ass is going to be sued, and you will lose.

Trump’s star should be considered an attractive nuisance for adults and nobody should face any penalties for attacking it with a sledgehammer or axe, and certainly not for having his pooch crap on it.

Trump Provides Commentary for Holyfield vs. Belfort Fight

The twice-impeached former president Donald trump memorialized the 20th anniversary of 9/11 not at Ground Zero, the Pentagon or in Shanksville, Pennsylvania but in a milieu where he is more comfortable: The Hard Rock and Casino in Hollywood Florida where he provided live commentary for the Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort fight.

The match between a 58-year-old Holyfield and the 44-year-old Belfort was a sideshow carnival act, and therefore it made perfect sense for a Barnum Bailey type con artist to provide commentary.

With his diminutive doll’s hands and corpulent physique Trump wouldn’t make much of a pugilist, he would float like a whale and sting like a bunny. But he used his platform to take a few jabs at Joe Biden, especially for his disastrous Afghan exit strategy.

Mercifully, Belfort defeated Holyfield with a first-round TKO, Holyfield might not have survived another round and I would have killed myself rather than endure another round of Trump’s insipid commentary.

The boxing exhibition was a perfect metaphor for the state of celebrity boxing and reality show politics.

Melania Trump as Elusive As Waldo Since Leaving the White House

“During her husband’s last day in office, Melania recorded her farewell address as first lady of the United States and stood by her husband’s side during his. However, the moment the couple landed in Palm Beach, Melania, dressed in a bold Gucci caftan, went viral when she refused to stop and pose for cameras and made a beeline for her car without breaking her stride, as detailed in the Daily Mail. It certainly seemed like she was over and out.”

NickiSwift.Com

Melania was the most reclusive and reluctant first lady in history, she rarely made a public appearance and she perfunctorily attended to her duties with the minimum of grace and enthusiasm.

Since departing the White House last January she has been as elusive as Waldo and as gregarious as the late Howard Hughes. She has been seen publicly just once this summer, leaving Trump Tower in New York City, accompanied by her son.

Melania would probably prefer to do a four-year prison term in a Club Fed prison than play at being first lady again.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, is dying to return to the White House. He’s made several speeches and attended a handful of MAGA rallies since leaving office, without Melania by his side.

Melania has been negligent in her duties as a trophy wife, she’s not expected to love her husband, but she is expected to appear by his side for social and political events.

But Trump won’t divorce Melania because she’s already demonstrated that she’ll tolerate his racism, pettiness, serial philandering and downright demonic behavior as long as he doesn’t cut her off from his bank accounts.

If Trump runs for president in 2024 Melania will most likely be absent on the campaign trail, but that’s not necessarily a negative, after all during the 2016 presidential campaign she rarely appeared with him.

With or without Melania by his side, Trump will lose again if he runs for president again in 2024. America is sick and tired of the Trumps, every last one of them.  

Donald Trump Turns Down Kanye West’s Invitation to Join Him on Stage at ‘Donda’ Event

“The mercurial Kanye West brought out DaBaby and Marilyn Manson during a song at his listening party for Donda in his Chicago hometown, but according to reports, Ye also had another eyebrow-raising surprise guest in mind.

Reports are the controversial rapper-producer hoped to bring out former President Donald Trump during a set many already considered overcrowded.”

Yahoo News

The Kanye West listening party for his new album “Donda” in his Chicago hometown was a shitshow of biblical proportions. Sharing the stage with West was the notoriously homophobic rapper DaBaby and Marilyn Manson who has been credibly accused by several women of sexual assault. Even West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, was in attendance to enhance the decadence of the event.

Had the Christian rapper been able to persuade the twice-impeached disgraced former president Donald Trump to attend his circus, his listening party would have received the anti-Christ’s seal of approval.

West has been a loyal supporter of Trump, his coonery on his behalf included donning a MAGA hat and warmly embracing him. But with the short-fingered vulgarian loyalty is a one-way street, and since he was soundly defeated by Biden, he no longer needs West’s support.

Anyway, it’s unlikely that Trump would attend any event in city with a large African American population.

I wouldn’t attend West’s listening party if he raised Donda from the dead and she tap danced in honor of Trump. Vanilla Ice has more street cred and legitimacy as a rapper than Kanye West, and I’m going to have my own listening party: “Ice, Ice Baby” on a loop.

Two Septuagenarians in Succession (Trump & Biden) Elected President, Insanity

“An op-ed in one of Britain’s largest newspapers has taken aim at Joe Biden, calling the 78-year-old president ‘exhausted’ and ‘too old’ to do the job.

The Daily Telegraph’s America editorial writer Tim Stanley—a conservative commentator—took aim at the president over his handling of the U.S. withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and claimed he lacked the ‘necessary acuity’ to be commander-in-chief.“

Newsweek

Stanley, a staunch conservative, may have a bias in his assessment of the septuagenarian’s inability to serve as president of the United States and Leader of the Free World. But I urge Democrats to take off their rose-colored glasses and objectively consider Biden’s cognitive decline and frail physical appearance.

I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that conservatives who lament Biden’s suspect mental acuity fervently support Donald Trump, 75, as their preferred presidential candidate in 2024. Biden and Trump are both in mental decline, the difference being that Biden is a gentleman whose moral values haven’t declined whereas Trump is an amoral monster who is as wicked as the day is long.

Stanley is correct in stating:

“Biden has simply exhausted his once formidable talent and energy, and attempts to pretend that he’s a spring chicken have become a bad joke.”

A 78-year-old man is simply physical and mentally ill-suited to handle monumental problems like the coronavirus pandemic and the evacuation from Afghanistan.

Two septuagenarians in succession have been elected president of the United States, this insanity must come to end. Congress should pass a law disqualifying a presidential candidate who will be 65 or older on Inauguration Day from running.

Trump Will Never Make a Serious Effort to Persuade His Followers to Get Vaccinated

The delta variant of COVID-19 is decimating the red states of Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Florida, and if Donald Trump cared about the health and welfare of his fanatical supporters, he would immediately hold a “MAGA Nation Gets the Vaccine” rally, where he would plead with them to get vaccinated.

Trump is the only Republican with the gravitas and influence to persuade his vaccine-hesitant supporters to get vaccinated. Like every dictator and cult leader worth his salt, Trump doesn’t have a second-in-command with the power to influence his devotees to take an action they find deplorable.

Newsflash: Trump doesn’t give a fuck about his supporters; they are disposable useful idiots who live only to serve him.

Trump and his wife, Melania, secretly received coronavirus vaccinations in January before leaving the White House, and in the weeks and months since he’s made only a couple of perfunctory statements to his people asking them to get vaccinated.

Bottom line: Trump will never make a serious effort to get his cultish followers vaccinated, and barring an edict from their Orange Messiah to do the right thing, they will never get the jab.

Therefore, the only way to persuade these Neanderthals into getting the shot is for employers, restaurants, sporting venues, grocery stores, amusement parks, airlines and shopping malls to enact vaccine mandates that apply to employees and customers,

Why Donald Trump is Furious at Rand Paul

The Grand Old Party isn’t a small-d democratic institution, it’s an authoritarian party that demands absolute allegiance to its Dear Leader.

Donald Trump not only lost the election in an electoral college and popular vote landslide to Joe Biden, but he also lost both chambers of Congress.

Nevertheless, Trump holds an iron grip on the Republican Party, it’s a cult of personality where no member is allowed to deviate from the Trump party line.

This week’s Republican primary in Ohio’s congressional special election was a case in point. There were nearly a dozen Republicans on the ballot: Trump endorsed former coal lobbyist Mike Carey and Sen. Rand Paul rallied behind state Rep. Ron Hood.

All of the Republican candidates, including Hood, were stalwart supporters and defenders of Trump, yet he was furious that Paul had the temerity not to follow his lead and endorse Carey.

An enraged Trump issued the following written statement:

“Do you think Rand Paul will apologize for spending nearly $1 Million on another candidate in Ohio’s 15th District congressional race after I had already endorsed Mike Carey? … Rand’s candidate came in a distant third out of eleven. Rand is a different kind of guy…. Do you think he learned his lesson?”

What’s the lesson that Paul is supposed to have learned?

Republican leaders aren’t allowed to think for themselves, they must blindly follow Trump’s lead. If their Orange Messiah anoints a candidate, it’s mandatory for every other Republican to second the endorsement.

The ‘Trump Card’ Worse than the Mark of the Beast

“Donald Trump wants his supporters to carry ‘Trump Cards.’

Trump’s PAC sent two emails on Wednesday asking supporters to get on board with carrying the red-and-gold cards, which look like credit cards and bear the former president’s signature.

‘The card you select will be carried by Patriots all around the Country,’ the first email said. ‘They will be a sign of your dedicated support to our movement to SAVE AMERICA, and I’m putting my full trust in you.’”

Business Insider

As if the Dear Leader’s devotees needed to carry a Trump Card to identify themselves. I can see Trump supporters a mile away, considering they have a penchant for wearing MAGA hats and other Trump-branded attire. Their vacuous stares singles them out as MAGA cultists more than a MAGA hat or a Trump Card.

The Trump card is just another fundraising gimmick from the grifter-in-chief, clicking on a link to vote for your favorite design of the Trump Card leads to a fundraising page.

The Trump card is more evidence that being a Trump supporter isn’t about political principles or an ideology, it’s all about the worship of the Orange Messiah. The Trump card bears images that are similar to Nazi symbols, I can’t imagine a more horrible fate than being a card-carrying Trump sycophant. In fact, given a choice between being forced to carry a Trump card or being branded with the Mark of the Beast, I would beg them to tattoo 666 on my forehead.

Mark Meadows Says ‘President’ Trump is Meeting With His ‘Cabinet’

“Donald Trump may no longer be president, but his allies are still acting like he is as he plots his political comeback, saying he’s been taking meetings with his ‘cabinet’ officials in preparation for a potential 2024 presidential.

‘We met with some of our cabinet members tonight,’ Mark Meadows, his former White House chief of staff, told Newsmax on Friday.

‘We actually had a follow up member meeting with some of our cabinet members and as we are looking into that, we are looking into what does come next. I’m not authorized to speak on behalf of the president, but I can tell you this: we wouldn’t be meeting tonight if we weren’t making plans to move forward in a real way with president Trump at the head of that ticket.’”

It’s axiomatic that Donald Trump’s base is made up of gullible evangelicals, brain-addled rednecks, brainwashed QAnon cultists and other assorted riff-raff. They accept as Gospel the Big Lie that their messiah was cheated out of his election victory and that he’s still the legitimate president.

But many Republican congressional leaders and former Trump administration officials are also parroting the Big Lie.

They reside in an alternate universe where Joe Biden managed to thwart the will of God and cheat his way into the White House, and where God’s anointed will soon be reinstated to power.

Mark Meadows, the former Trump White House chief of staff, still refers to Trump as “the president.” Trump lost to Joe Biden in an electoral college and popular vote landslide, and he should be called “the former president”, “the twice-impeached ex-president”, or simply as “the big loser”, but he should never be addressed as “the president.”

Trump isn’t president and he doesn’t have a cabinet, what he does have is a motley crew of sycophants, fluffers and hangers-on. And they only thing they are discussing is whose turn is it to change the Big Guy’s diaper.

Trump’s Republican Support is Eroding

Like an old-time circuit rider evangelist Donald Trump is traveling the country, but other than his fanatical base no one’s paying attention to the circus. Even Trump-friendly Fox News doesn’t air his MAGA rallies and speeches to conservative audiences.

Trump’s evangelical base still worships their orange-tinged messiah, they still accept all of his vain babblings as the Gospel and they still promulgate all of his conspiracy theories.

The Dear Leader’s hold over congressional Republicans, especially House Republicans, remains secure. House GOP leaders regularly make a pilgrimage to his palaces in Florida and New Jersey. The two GOP representatives who actively oppose the Big Lie, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, are treated like lepers and apostates by their conservative brethren.

But the short-fingered vulgarian’s sway over Republicans at large seems to be diminishing.  Trump prides himself on the power of his endorsements to influence the electorate, he makes a Hollywood production over issuing endorsements. He acts like the Pope issuing Papal honors to the most devout Catholics. Trump’s anointed candidate in the special House election in Texas lost on Tuesday to another Republican, embarrassing him to no end. On Wednesday, 17 Republican senators voted to advance a bipartisan infrastructure deal that he had railed against for weeks. Every other week in the Trump administration was infrastructure week, and if Biden manages to sign an infrastructure bill into law it will devastate him.

Trump is still the undisputed leader of the Republican Party, and his base will remain loyal to their cult leader to the bitter end, but there’s enough erosion in his support overall to ensure that if he runs again in 2024, he will lose in a bigger landside than 2020.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump Are Too Damn Old to be President

Septuagenarian, soon to be an octogenarian, Joe Biden mocked 75-year-old Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Virginia.

Biden stopped mid-speech to drink from a glass of water. “Excuse me,” he said before putting the glass to his mouth using one hand in a none too subtle dig at Trump’s penchant for using his two tiny hands to hold a glass of water.

Biden’s schtick drew loud cheers from the crowd at the rally being held in Arlington, Virginia to support Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s gubernatorial campaign.

But Biden doesn’t deserve any cheers, it’s a notable achievement he didn’t raise the glass of water to his ear instead of his mouth.

Biden, 78, shouldn’t be president, the old geezer oozing white privilege and entitlement, refused to gracefully step aside and let younger qualified Democratic presidential candidates battle for the nomination.

Biden is a quantum leap improvement over Trump, but let’s face it, they’ve both lost more than a step. Biden’s mental acuity may be suspect, but at least he’s not a senile, corrupt, obscene, dictatorial, amoral piece of shit like Trump.

The law should be changed to prevent anyone who would be 65 or older on inauguration date from running for president.
