This is going to ruffle some feathers. First of all, what will Trump use to answer the questions? 1. Crayon? 2. Sharpie? 3. Melania’s lip stick? Or, he’s going to pay somebody to take the test, like he did with the college entrance exams? It’s certainly hard to know. Donald Trump headed for Conway, South Carolina today (video on that below) and Haley is headed for Newberry, and it’s going to be a slug fest on the 24th, we are told.

Haley is trailing Trump in her home state, never a good thing, but then nothing is normal in the political arena these days. She refuses to leave the race and that’s fine. The longer she stays in and does things like this, the more fodder for attack ads we have. Ladies and gentlemen, the state of the Grand Old Party in the Year Of Our Lord, 2024.

Trump booked an arena which holds 3,000 people and supposedly 2,000 more showed up.

That anybody would leave their homes to listen to this man is stunning, as always, but we live in two Americas. Ours is a decadent society and the insult comic, shock jock draws an audience. Here he is suggesting Obama’s a Muslim and Haley’s husband left her. Pure fantasy but then that’s what he excels at and that’s what this crowd wants. And if they flush democracy down the drain, so be it. They don’t get that part of it.

And Birdbrain got a new nickname today. Isn’t that nice? Variety is the spice of life, after all.

This is where the GOP has fallen to. I would direct your memory to an old scene from John McCain’s campaign where a lady in a town hall said to the senator, about Obama, “He’s an Arab.” McCain, in one of his finest moments, said: “No, Ma’am, he’s a good man. He and I just happen to disagree about some things.” So McCain shot down the racist innuendo and he kept the discourse civil. That’s what leadership is about, particularly at the presidential level.

You don’t see that here. What you see is immaturity, egotism, stupidity — and a crowd that loves it. They identify with it, and this is who they want to lead. Now ask yourself this: in nature, does the stupidest member of a pack, of wolves let’s say, lead the other wolves? No. Not in nature. But now in America? Yes. This is what some people want.

Let us pray there are more of us than of them.

  1. I hate Nikki and her weathervane morality that endorses this rapist, child murdering, serial killer…but I would bet she can recognize her husband in a picture. She, like the famous blues singer Robert Johnson, who strangely died at age 27, and who reportedly sold his soul to the devil, is something she has also done. The difference between a nazi cult leader, i.e., Trump, versus a nazi cult member, i.e., Nikki, is negligible in my view, but he does make her seem almost rational. That is until I remember her endorsement of him on national tv. As a father of a black daughter, I tolerate NO ONE WHO ENDORSES THE TRAITORS OF THE CONFEDERACY! Phuck both of these evil asshats. That being said, I do agree with what the gospels reported when Jesus was labeled as being in charge of the demons when he performed exorcism, he said a house divided cannot stand. I hope the Democrats are listening. Keep hammering that tub of goo Nikki. The enemy of my enemy kind of thing.

  2. We don’t need to pray. There are more people that don’t like Dementia Don than like him – indeed he has a unique ability to mobilize people against him.

  3. If it’s not illegal to do so Haley (or someone) should fly a helicopter over crowds gathering for a Trump rally, and also when they’re leaving of actual copies of versions of the Montreal test Trump keeps bragging about passing. I had a fall this past October where by far the most serious injury which complicated my life for two months was to my right foot. It was clear a couple of toes had been broken and my foot and other parts of me hurt like hell. But what caused me to go to the ER at the Durham VA was hours later from a place I couldn’t see on the bottom of my foot the bleeding didn’t stop. Slowed down? Yes, but not stop. In describing the whole fall in detail I mentioned bumping my head slightly. Slightly. (I’ve taken some serious shots to my head including a few that have not just “rung my bell” but caused concussions) Well, that seemed to freak them out. The Doc had a helluva time suturing up that laceration but before they’d let me go home they put me through various diagnostic testing including an MRI to check my head. AND a cognitive test. Which made me literally laugh and I mentioned Trump during it. The Doc was professional enough that he was able to restrain himself to a clearly amused smile.

    Now, I’m sure lots of MAGA goobers would look at the items on the exam and do just fine. And think to themselves “I’m just as smart as Trump!” However more than a few would, if only to themselves realize how simple it is and if they happened to hear from someone, or be exposed to non-Fox TV where the subject came up learn it’s a basic test to screen for dementia or cognitive impairment. A BASIC test that if you “pass” means you don’t have dementia or need to be monitored for it, or that you know who you are, what day it is and other stuff even a dumbass would know.

    If THAT started to sink it with even five or ten percent of MAGAs it would change things. “Bigly” time.

    Ideally a helicopter would drop those pieces of paper over everyone at an outdoor MAGA rally with Trump present. Of course the Secret Service would have the air space overhead and even nearby restricted while Trump was present so that can’t happen. Still, it’s fun to imagine because Trump would go ape-shit.
