First of all, my compliments to the doctors who came up with just the right combination of meds to get Trump back to the Trump we saw and heard from prior to his mysterious disappearance from public view. Oh, he’s still painted ugly orange but his hair was all floofed to form and his suit looked okay. His insane rambling lies in response to any question he was asked was typical Trump. Including claims he’s healthy as a horse. Sure it is Donald. We’d been teased there would be a bigly announcement, and thankfully it wasn’t one my cousin said he feared was coming.
Yep, I had an overdue talk with my cousin Jim, a retired diplomat. I’d wanted to talk with him anyway to run a frightening possibility past him for a professional opinion given much of his career focused on southeast Asia. That’s a long topic I’ll have to work on since he doesn’t think it’s at all crazy. What matters is he had me laughing and more than once! I haven’t laughed that much in a long time. A belated birthday present as you will.
I’ll get to Limbaugh but it was the discussion of Trump’s “Proof of Life” appearance today. We marveled over what I already mentioned and he got a kick out of when I told him I’d written here the other day about having seen so many corpses that looked better than Trump has looked lately. As you know, and as Ursula wrote about here on PZ earlier a real buzz had taken hold that Trump had died. Given that the WH press corps and photographers were kept at a distance for the few seconds it took Trump to get to the limo Sat. morning it’s easy to see why speculation and CT had risen the way it did.
But Jim and I agreed that however the docs and stylists managed to do it they had, for a little while at least this afternoon to have Trumpty looking and talking like the same OLD batshit insane lying idiot we’ve come to know and loathe. That was when Jim dropped an AWESOME funny bomb. Nothing all the speculation beforehand about there being a BIG announcement planned Jim said this:
I thought he was going to announce he’d died on Friday and today, on the 3rd day he’d risen!
I swear I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed that hard and that long. It was like a physical relief. Jim couldn’t help laughing himself. He then injected a bit of seriousness stating that had Trump said that his dumbass MAGAs would have believed it! But then we started chuckling over the fact there was some truth to that. That’s how drunk on toxic orange Kool Aide too many MAGAs are. Still, it made my day. Hell, not just my week but my month and even longer!
So, I figured I’d share it hoping you would find it funny as hell too. Jim wasn’t done amusing me. He had a Rush Limbaugh story he’d never told me until now. (Jim lives in Illinois’ Metro East area and found out LImbaugh was buried across the river in Missouri so he organized a field trip to pay DIS-respects) I won’t share the details other than a lot of the bottle of whiskey getting used up with “toasts” because at the time he and his friends made a pact as they recorded their visit to never speak of it again. A promise they broke at a redneck bar they dropped into on the way back home. Though it was a redneck bar and not many people were there (it was still daytime) there was a black couple at a table. One of Jim’s friends went over to tell them what the group had done and whipped out his phone. They laughed their asses off and even though it was a redneck bar so did everyone else.
We shared some pretty good laughs over Jim revealing some of what had transpired. Then it was my turn to make HIM laugh. I’m certain that in his diseased, twisted mind Limbaugh had delusions of grandeur about his many millions of “dittoheads” honoring him till the end of their own days on this earth. As in every day bringing a stream of dittoheads on their own pilgrimages to visit Rush’s grave, offering praise. I pointed out Jim’s worry at the time they might get in trouble, because no one was in the area to even see, much less hear them! He hadn’t thought about THAT until now. Not only no security (even cameras he said) as they’d feared on the way there, but no other people. Just them which left them free to be as disrespectful as they wanted. (Use your imagination) He only regrets that his bucket list wish of doing similar things at Trump’s grave will be thwarted because there probably will be some security if only cameras much of the time.
Well, I hope I gave a reason to smile if not laugh that Trump didn’t try (you know he WANTS to) to claim he’s the second coming of Jeebus and use today’s presser to “prove it” by announcing his death and resurrection!
