How many times have we sat through the rambling, and how many times have politicians sat through it? It’s not getting worse month to month. It’s getting worse week to week. The memory stutters and the mouth covers, and we look at each other and say, “Huh?” Make it make sense! Except it can’t make sense. Thanks to Raw Story:
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer cut away from President Donald Trump’s rambling remarks to House Republicans. The 79-year-old president spoke to GOP lawmakers Tuesday morning for the first time since his administration’s capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, but he touched on a variety of topics — both related and unrelated to the extraordinary military operation.
A variety of topics? Oh, mercy. That can mean almost anything, anything at all. That means an almost immediate cringe, especially after the middle-of-the-night guerrilla raid into Venezuela. That was not something any of us wanted to wake up to. If we liked Republicans (although there is the occasional cool one here and there), we would feel sorry for them having to sit through the blathering, because you know if someone isn’t there, he’ll notice. And forget about needing a bathroom break. But we generally don’t.
“You know, they’re paid when they have brand new, beautiful printed signs by like the highest quality printer, and you have a woman [sighing] ‘Free Maduro,’ and the sign is before we even did the attack, you know, ‘free Maduro,'” Trump said, mocking a protester he saw on television. “Why do you want him freed? ‘I don’t know, but he should be free.’ Oh, she reads a sign. What does that say? It says free. Well, that’s what I believe, and, you know, you see the sign? It’s like, Lisa, we should all have quality signage like that. The one thing I want, I want their sign maker. The guy is great. He does beautiful signage.”
Whaaaaaat? First, he insults someone (but don’t insult him, at least not where he will find out about it), then goes hard right from protestors to beautiful signs. That’s the exponential “Weave” in action. Tangent, meet Trump. Eeeeesh! We can all be assured that, as much as we cringe just hearing about this, to be there with him bloviating would be much, much worse. Good thing we’re all Democrats. (Ha.)
“You know, the old days was better when they used to write out their own sign, wasn’t it?” the president added. “They’d make a sign in the basement. They’d have an old broken board holding up a sign, and it’s made with a magic marker, sloppy as hell, and it meant something. But today, when you have that yellow and black, they should use different colors a little bit. But the yellow is a beautiful shade of yellow.
Now I want to find out who that is. I want him to work for the work for the Republican campaign. He’s much better than our guy, whoever the guy is.” The president continued on for several more minutes in that manner, weaving in and out of digressions to occasional laughter from his audience, until “The Situation Room” cut away. “He’s going all over the place, speaking on a wide range of issues,” Blitzer told viewers.
Mr. Trump, your dementia is showing. Mr. Blitzer was nicely polite, “speaking on a wide range of issues” as opposed to babbling. He liked the slick signs and the color yellow. I keep thinking he can’t be any more nonsensical, and, of course, then he is. The man needs to have his phone taken away and be put in a nursing home, preferably one for demented people. Are we going to last 3 years? Maybe we should wonder whether he will last for three more years. And be afraid that he might surprise us and last. No. Oh HELL NO.
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, 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
The tinsel is now falling off the turd in an ever increasing amount, eh? No song can better that, but it can support the sloughing of tinsel, to make it entertaining, compared to being so utterly side show fodder cringeworthy, and somehow sad. When are ‘you know who’s’ carers gonna step in, tell him his time is up, and yank hip off his stage?
Get the hook!!!!
I’ll help pull!!!
