This is one of Trump’s better excursions into the land of fantasy. As you know, his current posture is that CNN and the New York Times have ganged up against him and decided to lie about his perfectly executed military sortie that resulted in the “obliteration” of not only the mountain(s) that the centrifuges and bomb materials were stored, but of the entire Iranian nuclear program itself. That’s not the case. But Trump can’t stand the truth and Pete Hegseth can’t stand it, either. They’re both on an enemy of the people rant, in a desperate ploy to save face.

Here’s the video you need to see, with all of the best clips and commentary bringing it all together. This is what the world sees, folks.This is how we look to the rest of the human race in this Year of Our Lord, 2025. Color me blushing and hiding under the bed, ashamed to go out in the world.
“They don’t understand the fake news.” No, people with the kind of brains and skill that it takes to fly cutting edge aircraft and do surgically precise military sorties are like children, you see, they need somebody with an IQ of maybe 90 (yes, I’m being charitable) to explain a concept like “fake news” to them. And of course Trump’s tell is the “Sir.” Oh, gawd, how long must we endure this?
This is how we look. We have readers here from all over the world and right after the November election I got many calls and emails asking, “What is wrong with America?” How I wish I knew. I can only quote H.L. Mencken.
“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
The White House is adorned by a downright moron. We have lived to see Mencken’s prophecy come true. This quote is from a series of essays called collectively “A Carnival of Buncombe” and written between 1920 and 1936. So 100 years ago the electorate of 2016 and beyond was accurately judged. Shocking, I know. I first read this quote in 2016 and my jaw dropped open.
Trump represents the Republican id. And he represents our inner soul, by a narrow margin. But be of good cheer. That margin is narrowing. A Quinnipiac poll released yesterday shows that the majority of Americans do not want to fight a proxy war for Israel, although 85% of Republicans seem willing to.
I’m glad I watched the video to the end because I’d forgotten all about Baby Bush’s carrier landing stunt and “Mission Accomplished.” After a long deployment that sumbitch actually held the carrier out to sea instead of letting dock and the crew seeing their families again. All so he could ride backseat for a “trap” on a carrier deck and get his “flight suit” photo op they planned to use in his re-election campaign!
Maybe Trumpty will go to the base in Missouri with a big banner saying “OBLITERATED” behind him. I just hope that Iran doesn’t prove Trump wrong with a mushroom cloud in the middle of nowhere in that huge country. They don’t need to take it that far. They can simply allow international inspectors in for a day with some small news crews to verify they DO still have a stockpile of enrisched uranium. And maybe a shot of some other things to prove that yes, they can stilll make a bomb someday
no way I’m hiding under a bed. I’m proud to say I’m an American and I detest Trump & gang to the entire world!! Unless they want to put me in alligator Alcatraz 😁🇺🇸
The world is on to us…the con that was ‘America’ has been exposed. The truth is we are no better than anyone else, maybe we’re much worse. Comfort and the pursuit of more comfort has washed our collective morals right out the window. Watching this TV poster child for greed, lust, envy, pride, wrath, sloth and gluttony destroy children, tell continuous lies, kill over a million citizens, destroy our better history and legal progress, and THEN he still gets almost 80 million votes to do worse…go phuck yourself America. The mask is off. We’re the last to admit it. The world isn’t as stupid or inexperienced as we are with the realities of an evil lying killer as leader. To paraphrase Nelson Mandela…he pointed out some of the worse atrocities in the world have been done by America. A country that has no better track record with black folks than South Africa when you drill down into the realities. Thanks Herr Trump for the clarity. God bless America? Now why would he phuck with the Devil’s country?
The only problem with us living in an age of unparalleled access to information is the abundance of so much misinformation and the willingness of so many to accept it as fact.
I’d never heard of that quote before, but its prophetic nature is downright eerie.
