My goodness gracious, people are furious with Dingbat Donnie. He said something repulsive he ought not have, and got an immediate slapback from many people, a few of whom will be quoted for you. It’s stunning what he said. The Revenge Tour™ has another page written. It’s not exactly a surprise, but the words and sentiment are crass and repulsive. This is a follow-up, of sorts, to what Ursula discussed earlier today. With gratitude to Raw Story:
Within minutes of news breaking Saturday of former FBI Director Robert Mueller’s passing, President Donald Trump took to social media to celebrate his death in a shocking social media post, sparking immediate backlash from critics who called the president’s language “disgusting and despicable.” (As you’ve already seen) “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
The following quotes are exactly the sort of reactions I had when I first read about Donnie’s yapping. What a thing to say! Now I can’t say how I’ll react when Dunce Donnie passes on. But even if I’m absolutely thrilled, it would be inherently rude to celebrate in public. Might celebrate in private, though. The point remains, “Good, I’m glad he’s dead.” And the next thought about D*ckhead Donnie is, “Who is going to control his empire, and how good a job will they do?” Interesting thought. Does anyone want to guess? *ahem* moving back to the topic:
The remarks were immediately met with scorn from critics of all stripes, including prominent liberal political commentator Ed Krassenstein, who went on to lavish praise on Mueller for his role in leading the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. “This is disgusting and despicable,” Krassenstein wrote to their more than 1 million followers on X. “Trump literally just celebrated Robert Mueller dying. Mueller did so much good for America.”
Ken Dilanian, a justice and intelligence correspondent for MS NOW, responded to Trump’s remarks by making an unflattering comparison between the president and Mueller. “In an era when many young men – including President Trump – were trying to avoid serving in Vietnam, Mueller not only volunteered for the Marines after graduating from Princeton – he spent a year waiting for an injured knee to heal so he could serve,” Dilanian wrote in a social media post on X. “I have always found that [to] be the most compelling fact about him.”
Mr. Mueller was quite something. I did not know he served in the military. What I do know is that he did one helluva job for the Russia investigation. Took me what felt like forever to get through “The Mueller Report”, but dang, he knew his stuff. And he did not assume. He presented the facts. I seem to remember he said something about it not being his place to bring charges against someone. Not 100% sure, though. And he didn’t give us much information during the investigation. That’s staying neutral.
Trump infamously received a deferment from conscription in 1968 during the Vietnam War, a deferment that allowed the then-22-year-old future president to avoid military service. Furthermore, the deferment – a medical exemption citing alleged bone spurs in his heels – was issued to Trump by a podiatrist who rented office space from Trump’s father, a connection that led The New York Times to theorize that the medical diagnosis may have been “granted as a courtesy to the elder Mr. Trump.”
Others, like Fox sports analyst Ryan Satin, pointed to what they characterized as Trump’s double standard, having belittled Mueller’s death openly while his own administration has vowed to pull visas and deport people who joke about the death of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk. “Remember when they made a database of people who said anything slightly deemed as negative about Charlie Kirk?” Satin wrote in a social media post on X.
“Bone spurs” should be changed to “coward”. He was (and mostly still is) a coward (Hence, TACO). It’s hard to prove bone spurs, but we weren’t as suspicious back then. At least he got some pushback for what he said. It’s stunning to me what he said every time I read it again. Another saying to add to the Dunce Donnie doesn’t think before he speaks (or posts, natch) list, which, if we had been keeping one, would be pretty big by now. RIP, Mr. Muller. Thank you for all you did.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
There is no doubt that there will be public celebrations of Trump’s death, when it occurs.
Champagne sales will spike as work productivity plummets while people take the day off to party.
Even very polite people will feel compelled to follow Mark Twain’s lead, he once refused to attend a noted politician’s funeral. But he wrote a very nice letter explaining that he approved of it.
Gee, ya THINK? Ahahahaha so much celebrating! I can’t be too mean until it happens. We are Democrats, but there is an attempt at balance. Of course for me that never works 😉
I want to get rid of him so badly. A Little less than 3 years to go!
Look how much damage he’s done in 14 months! Three more years scares the crap out of me.
