Hitting the wall…

Posted on by

Apologies to Pink Floyd…

What on earth was the village idiot, (a.k.a. Donald J. Trump), trying to achieve with his “…well, let’s just skip over the border to Mexico for a few hours…” publicity stunt on Wednesday?

Despite the pundit’s claims Trump “…looked ‘presidential’…” at the hastily-convened press conference in Mexico, he came off as anything but ‘presidential’ hours later during his on-again, off-again, on-again rally in Phoenix while shouting “We will build that wall!” to the masses, (who bleated and bellowed their approval right back at him).

It was a f*cking freak show… Let’s not forget this particular rally took place in the land of Barry Goldwater, Evan Mecham and, more recently, Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio. Yup, a barrel-o-bigots, to be sure. …oh, right, this state has an open carry law, but you’re not required to wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle.

Like I said, a f*cking freak show…

…and a link to a downloadable .PDF version of the poster, if you’re so inclined.

This bloviating doofus earned yet another :‑& :‑& :‑& rating for his ill-conceived publicity stunt this past Wednesday.

TRONC, er, uh, TRAMP, er, uh, TRASH – yeah, that’s it…

I wonder if there’s much of a difference between the doofus – yeah, doofus – named Sam Zell, (the foul-mouthed troll who used to own the Chicago Tribune, now re-branded as TRONC), and the other doofus running as the Republican Presidential candidate?

Years ago, doofus #1, (that would be Zell), concluded a rather incoherent – and long-winded – answer to an employee’s question with an emphatic “F*CK YOU!” directed at said employee, all of which was caught on video tape.

Sad. Expected. Still Sad.

Fast forward and – presto, bango – we’ve got doofus #2 spouting equally-absurd statements while in pursuit of the highest elected office in the nation.

Sad. Very. Sad. Very. Very. Scary. Very. Sad.

Nah, doesn’t seem to be much of a difference between ’em. Both are pathetic creatures. Both are capable of world-class levels of incoherence when speaking in public. …and it’s possible both have VIAGRA® prescriptions – yikes!

Special thanks to John Oliver for his August 5th episode on journalism – carry on sir, carry on! You did a much better job of eviscerating another doofus, (Michael Ferro), and his feeble attempts with this ridiculous re-branding effort than I ever could…

Not A Clue! Not A Clue! Not a Clue!

Wow. It’s like comparing shiny, ripe apples to stinky, rotten tomatoes…

  1. Managing the chaos? Check.
  2. Letting the dissenters, uh, well, dissent? Check.
  3. Slowly, steadily, building consensus around a Presidential candidate? Check.
  4. Trotting out respected speaker, after respected speaker, after respected speaker? Check.
  5. Countless speakers clearly, calmly, consistently pointing out the fundamental flaws of the narcissistic a**hole representing the Republican party? Check.
  6. Michelle Obama’s heartfelt, 100% authentic – and 100% original – characterization of a healthy nation? Check.
  7. Vice President Joe Biden saying what the rest of America is thinking? Check. [Hence the title of this post.]
  8. Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg underscoring the gross – and I do mean gross – ineptitude of the Republican Presidential candidate that shall not be named? Check.
  9. A Vice Presidential candidate embraced by both the Democratic party and the Presidential candidate who chose him? Check.
  10. …and an acting President who – because he’s actually done the job – understands who is truly most qualified to hold the office of President?

    11. Check.

The United States of America deserves better than Donald Trump. The United States of America deserves Hillary Clinton. Cast a pragmatic vote on November 8th, 2016.

Cruzin’ for a Bruzin’

The circus in Cleveland continues, apparently unabated.

I just can’t wait to see what the idiot brigade comes up with tonight…

…and a downloadable .PDF version here – enjoy!

Oh, yeah, almost forgot – the extraordinarily untrustworthy Ted Cruz gets a >:\ >:\ >:\ rating for the stunt he pulled last night.

[un]Original Sin

Well, I didn’t expect the presumptive nominee’s wife to screw the pooch quite this bad, or quite this soon, but hey, why look a gift horse in the mouth?

Wow – plagiarism. …and to lift entire sentences from the speech Michelle Obama delivered at the Democratic National Convention in 2008? Amateurish. Sad. Typical.

This goes beyond basic stupidity or laziness, (terms I frequently use to describe both the presumed nominee and his ill-fated campaign), approaching a level of narcissism that is, quite simply, obscene.

Look folks, it’s obvious Donald Trump hasn’t had an original thought since he was in kindergarten, but I thought Melania Trump might be a slight improvement, intellectually speaking, of course… Nope, didn’t happen.

Same narcissistic behavior. Same disastrous outcome. Our nation deserves better – much better – than this circus in Cleveland.

Slovenly. “b : lazily slipshod <slovenly in thought>“.

…and the narcissist’s spouse deserves a :‑& :‑& :‑& rating.
