*Sigh* I get so sick of this sh*t sometimes. Those of you know who me know that I’ve been politically active since my early teens. And if there’s one thing I learned before I was 16, it’s that politics constantly changes. Opinions change, perceptions change, issues change, and if you’re blithely running a campaign based on the last one, you’re in deep kimchi.
And something I learned before I was 18, it was that if you’re an incumbent within 45 days of election day, and you’re not over 50%, then you better start looking for a casket for your political career, and look for a preacher for the eulogy. Decades of statistical research show that in most cases, late breaking undecided voters almost invariably tip to the challenger. Simple logic. The incumbent is already a known quantity. If people wanted to vote for him, they’d already be doing so. Those voters are looking for a reason to vote for the challenger, and if they can’t find one, then they’ll make one up. That’s why Rick Scott of FL and Ted Cruz of TX are in such grave peril.
And from where I’m sitting, the same thing goes for Traitor Tot. I know, President Joe Biden is the actual incumbent, but he’s off of the field. So what do you have left? A corpulent, strident sexist, racist xenophobic pig that has been insulting our ear canals and IQ ratings for nine long years now. And on the other side is a sitting Vice President who has flown largely under the media radar for the last 3 1/2 years, but who’s doing a helluva job if introducing herself to the American public. You tell me. Who’s the incumbent?
And here’s another thing I learned over the years, the closer to election day you are, the less your margin of error. If a candidate wants to do something stupid like show up for a rally zoned to the gills on prescription pain meds following back surgery like Rick Perry did several years ago, you’re better off doing it eight months before election day, when people can forget, than less than a month before people start going to the polls. But apparently that concept doesn’t translate well to a pop-up book.
Because El Pendejo ex Presidente just did it twice in one day. In a rally today allegedly focused on the economy, he simply couldn’t help himself. Because he’s an economic imbecile who has never had to balance a checkbook, or balance a corporate spreadsheet either, based on his six bankruptcies and multiple fraud convictions. An alleged multi billionaire literally has no idea of how even the most fundamental family economics works.
So it’s no amazement that in his rally today he once again went off on how he was going to impose tariffs on China that would add some $400 a year in additional costs to American consumers. Then Emperor Numbus Nuttus proposed to cutting off all trade with China if they didn’t play nice, apparently totally ignorant that Chine spends about $175 billion a year on American consumer goods to be sold in China, with a good percentage of that spent on American grain , produce, and coastal seafood! Boycotting China would demolish those two industries. Just the way his stupid tariffs sent Chinese businesses running to Argentina for beef instead of US beef.
Now this is not necessarily a fatal wound if you’re preaching to a mob of brain dead cult members who are as economically stupid as you are. But when you’re trying to appeal to every last independent and undecided voter, who watches legitimate news and reads reputable newspapers and magazines, it’s notso-hotso.
So of course Il Douche piked it on. Apparently there’s a proposed merger deal between Nissan Steel of Japan and US Steel here in the US. And The Cheeto Prophet let his imbecile freak flag fly. He angrily proclaimed that if he’s President, he’d scuttle the deal rather than ship American jobs overseas!
*Siiiigh* The stupid, stupid bastard. The Japanese are not going to open a new plant in Fukushima and ship tons of raw US steel to the plant to be processed! They’ll ship the finished product to Japan, if they don’t ship it to industries they already own in the US to save costs. The f*cking jobs aren’t going anywhere.
And he showed his true business stupidity in one fell swoop. As we speak, Nissan has an auto plant in the United States, so does BMW, Toyota and Mercedes Benz. These plants make it possible for the companies to sell their cars in the US without having to import them! But the vast majority of the jobs are American jobs, lots of them union. How can someone wanting to be the most powerful man in the free world not understand this?
But of course, being Trump, he had to go wandering off the reservation like the Fuqawi Tribe. The silly sh*t switched midstream to the Middle East. And he said something like, If I become President again, on Day One I am going to tell every one of those skeiks and mullahs that you don’t touch this person!, and if you do, I’ll blow your largest cities, and maybe your entire country off of the face of the earth!
Who the f*ck is this ass clown, Benjamin Netanyahu with sh*ttier hair? Attacking a sovereign state for a terrorist act, no matter which country supplies the terrorists is an open invitation to the kind of open ended regional conflict that will make Afghanistan look like a weekend at the beach. If we attack, then we’re all in. And the despicable Bibi Netanyahu would be free to expand his operation into a ground war in Lebanon, and stay in charge for life.
As I’ve said previously, as I’ve grown older I find that I suffer fools less gladly. But the simple fact is that Traitor Tot is not a fool. He is a dangerous degenerate sociopath with Messianic tendencies. None of what I’ve discussed is a quantum leap of education requiring a PhD in economics, business management or Global Affairs. It’s simple enough that even I can understand it. But Traitor Tot doesn’t give a sh*t. 41 days left. Let’s bust our asses to get this thing over the finish line. Because not only American democracy is at stake, but global stability may be on the ballot as well.
I thank you for the privilege of your time.
From the sheltered bully pulpit!
