The (royal) Baby


I have written several times about how it was basically the Americans who elected Waldheim President in Austria. Jeremy Corbyn got a big boost in his quest to become British PM, when Pompous Pompeo, in a teleconference in London, called Corbyn disgusting, doubtless sending his popularity up several points. Pompeo also praised Brexit and how it would energize the “special relationship”, all but making sure that if there is a second referendum, the Remainers will probably win.

Pompeo arrived in London together with the royal baby, and some dreamers had thought that the baby of mixed parentage would help the relationship.

But, as Ishaan Tharoor put it,  if there is a baby who sums up the current state of the special relationship, it isn’t Archie. It is the big, fat, orange, diaper-wearing blimp that is expected to rise, once again, to greet Trump as he arrives in London on June 3.

Right now, like the blimp, the special relationship is at risk of floating away, adrift. However, the Dotard visit could certainly do the UK some good if he talks enough about how great a thing Brexit will be. That would doubtless kill its attraction for a lot of people.

And just how dysfunct one side of that duo is was emphasized at the Arctic conference. A couple of days earlier, the UN warned about the extinction of a million species, with climate change one of the biggest culprits. But Pompous P and the US not only refused to have climate change mentioned in the Arctic Communique, Pompous P spoke about the blessings of melting Arctic ice, freeing up billions of barrels of oil and gas. Talk about short term thinking, like we did yesterday.  Some of that gas seems to me what has blown up Pompous and Dotard, both of whom seem to be getting more bloated by the day. That London blimp may have to be expanded to keep in step.
So China, Iran, Brexit, the Arctic - soon there will be nothing else to fxxx up. But whether that will finally deflate the Baby needs to be seen. He is said to be livid that so much attention is being given to that other baby, and not to him, the Baby-in-Cheif.

Trump Toilets Inc.

(If you like this, read other posts on my blog. Or follow my blog to get updates when I post something new. Its free 😀) So the world’s most powerful man has now turned his attention to something that apparently urgently needs his intervention. Did you think it was Russia policy, or North Korea  policy, or social security, or health care? Not at all - but something far more important than that in this age - Toilets. Yes, toilets. That’s not a joke. The President of the United States, the Chosen One, Blessed be His Name, spent 15 minutes raging on about toilets, and how because of regulations, people need to flush 10-15 times. Well, he should know. With all the shxt that comes out of his mouth, I wonder if even 10-15 times is enough to flush it down. So away with those useless Obama toilets and let’s have real Trump Toilets - “I know more about Toilets than anybody - nobody can make Toilets as good as I can”. Maybe he’s already thinking about his next business opportunity. But afte

GQP Gun violence "solutions "

  Here is a partial list of “solutions” proposed by GQP Senators and reps, Fox News pundits, and other rightwing, soulless axxholes yesterday, each followed by my comments in brackets. - Give children bullet-proof backpacks. 1 Senator even suggested parents should buy children those instead of toys.  (They don’t wear backpacks in school. How about full bulletproof clothing? Why not give them full body armour? Heck, after your abortion laws have passed, make baby body armour compulsory - straight from the womb to safety). - why can’t we have security like at airports - with full body and backpack screening? (Well, the US has around 5000 airports, and about 150000 schools. They can’t even find enough miserably paid TSA personnel for the airports - good luck for the schools. Of course, since red states are banning books, and firing teachers who dare to mention black or gay people, maybe that money saved can be used to finance those scanners and the people to man them) - From Dan Patrick a

Understanding Talibangelicals

  In his big NBC interview shown yesterday, Dotard said it was a “big mistake” for DeathSantis to sign a 6 week abortion ban. Immediately, numerous pundits speculated that this could cause him to lose a lot of support in Iowa, the first-in-the-nation voters, where evangelicals dominate. And I thought - when will these guys learn? To use a formulation from an interview Jon Stewart did with one of them some months ago, the Talibangelicals don’t give a “flying fvck” about supposedly religious teaching - it’s all about power. To learn from the Brothers Karamazov again, if Jesus came back to earth tomorrow and criticized the Dotard, the Talibangelicals and the MAGA crowd would crucify him without a second thought. When you love and worship a rapist and pornstarfvcker, no other religious norms are going to stop you. ——————- To be very clear, this is true of ALL rulers who rely on religion to keep them in power - whether it’s Putin and Orban defending White Christianity, the Taliban in Afghan
