The Special Relationship

So the British Ambassador was candid and honest, and gave his “unvarnished impression” of the US President and his admin, which is what Ambassadors are supposed to do. (Besides doing what the first pun we learnt in school said they do - an Ambassador is one who lies abroad for the good of his country).

So of course, telling the truth, he called Dotard inept, thin-skinned and dysfunctional, which is the polite British way of saying the President is basically an axxxhxxx.

And of course, Dotard proved him right immediately by acting in an inept, thin-skinned and dysfunctional way, calling the Ambassador a pompous fool (hey there, look in the mirror - is what the Ambassador could have replied, if he wasn’t so polite). And just like with others including Manafort and Epstein, Trump claimed to not even know the Ambassador, which immediately brought up dozens of photos on Twitter of the 2 of them together, talking, shaking hands, laughing.

The Liar-in-Chief caught out again. Lie Nr. 11253.

Back in the UK, May did the right thing by backing the Ambassador and insisting he was just doing his job. Which made Mr. Thick-skin even madder, and he bashed her for not following his plan on how to negotiate with the EU and following her own foolish plan.

His Plan? Was that like the one to have “fantastic” health care for everyone? Or his plan to get Kim to denuclearize? Or China and Iran to capitulate to his bullying? In the meantime, the whole world knows what Dotard’s “fantastic” plans are worth. Its a 4 letter word that rhymes with spit.

With the UK PM contest in full flow, Jeremy Hunt had the spine to say he would support the Ambassador, and that Dotard was wrong to criticize him and May. Boris of course is a Trumpian fool himself, so managed to hedge and not criticize the bigger fool. It probably won’t hurt him anyway. As I wrote earlier, with 160000 predominantly white, male, old, rich Tory activists voting, he is almost certain to win. They have not shown a great ability to understand the stakes involved with Brexit. Or maybe they are looking forward to American chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated beef.

With at least 18 months of Trump and Boris before us, the world look pretty gloomy. But hopefully they are both gone after that, says the eternal optimist.

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
