Yes, the dreaded question was popped to Mike Johnson today: Why did Donald Trump send out a video depicting himself as a fighter pilot, unleashing a payload of excrement on the #NoKings protesters? Johnson paused a moment, knowing it was coming, and probably asking the God of his understanding for the millionth time to figure out a way to sound sane and rational when defending the indefensible, namely the standard bearer of his party.
🚨WTF: Mike Johnson just DEFENDED Trump’s AI clip of him dropping poop on protestors, saying he’s “using satire to make a point.”
This is the Speaker of the House normalizing a fake video of Trump shitting on the American people.
Has he lost ALL shame?

Notice how Johnson moves into DARVO mode, doing a reverse victim stance, looking feverishly for a photo of Trump as King hanging in effigy. I haven’t seen it but maybe Mikey sees it in his nightmares because beneath his veneer of worship of Trump, he knows that the day is soon coming when Trump will do something that is utterly beyond any sanewashing and he’s going to be caught out. What might that beyond the pale act be? Nuking Iceland, maybe? Kicking J.D. Vance out of a helicopter and appointing Marco Rubio to be acting VP? All that I do claim to know is that things have gotten worse and there is zero evidence that that trend will reverse insofar as Trump’s mental state is concerned.
And if the hanging in effigy photo or drawing exists, so what? Is that seriously any worse than dropping a payload of gigantic turds and diarrhea on American citizens exercising their birthright of peaceful assembly? Somebody needs to explain “satire” to me, I guess. The definition is: “the use of humor, irony, exaggeration or ridicule to expose or criticize peoples’ stupidity or vices.” Even on a textbook level Trump fails at satire.
All his message got across was “shit on you” and the fecal material was of an exaggerated quantity. It was crass, rather than comedic, infantile rather than inspired. Yet Mike Johnson makes Trump sound like he’s Jonathan Swift incarnate — before he desperately looks for a way to change the subject and deflect to something allegedly worse that some supposed Democrat did, if only he could find his prop. Wouldn’t you think that he would have taken the photo with him to the podium, knowing that that was his only shot at credibility? I know I would have. I would have slept with that prop and attached it to my clothing so as not to forget it.
Anyhow, on to Kenny Loggins. If you caught the original rendition of Trump’s fighter pilot saga, it originally had Loggins’ “Danger Zone” hit as the music bed. That lasted a matter of hours, much less than one day, I am here to bear witness. Loggins sent a cease and desist letter and Trump did not ignore it (or more likely Susie Wiles did not, because she didn’t want more bad publicity.)
The WH steals people’s property constantly and never asks permission. Another example of Trump acting like a king. pic.twitter.com/L8nosLZ5h7

The tweet ends, “can use music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.” I think this is a statement of wisdom. I have always liked Loggins’ music, now I like the man himself. If only we had somebody who thought this way occupying our nation’s highest office and not an out of control child in an old man’s (rapidly deteriorating) body.
