When Trump Runs Out Of Scapegoats There's Always the Zombies

Good Day World!

Trump's use of scapegoats has taken on nearly mythical proportions since he snuck into the White House on January 20th.

Lately Donny Little Hands has taken to scapegoating countries, a step up from his personal attacks against individuals.

I can tell you the U.K. doesn't appreciate Chump's claims that they helped President Obama wiretap Trump Tower.

British spy agency GCHQ issued a rare and angry denial of a "ridiculous" allegation, repeated by White House press secretary Sean Spicer, that it eavesdropped on Thump during the election campaign. 

When contacted yesterday, White House officials promised not to make that false claim again and apologized to the British government.

That doesn't mean Rump won't repeat his lie. He seems to enjoy pissing off our allies like England and Germany.

At some point Lump, with Steve Bannon's guidance, is going to run out of scapegoats. Enter the zombies.

Take Bannon's apocalyptic vision for our future - tear down the government and see who survives in the aftermath. It's not too big a stretch to think the zombies will emerge from the chaos.

In that post-apocalyptic era people will be so numb that they'll believe anything. Hump's core supporters already do.

If he told them right now that zombies were undermining our intelligence agencies they'd show up with torches and fully automatic AR-15s outside the various intel agencies.

Some of Dump's opposition believe that his followers are zombies - just waiting for their master's directions.

Currently zombies are popular entertainment and grist for movies and TV shows. 

Hump knows this. When the day comes and he needs new scapegoats he knows he can count on the zombies.

There's always the zombies.

Oh Look! A Trump Story Overriding Another Trump Story and So On

Good Day World!

Donny Little Hands loves manipulating the media.

When too may news sources start talking about his campaign ties with the Russians - he pivots to making outrageous claims like Obama bugged Trump Tower during the elections.

Of course that's not a shred of evidence to prove his claim and yesterday the top Republican and Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said that there is no evidence of any wiretap at Trump Tower in Manhattan during the presidential campaign or transition.

When everyone was talking about Trump's failure to get Republicans united enough to repeal Obamacare Chump knew he had to create another diversion.

He, or someone close to him, mailed the first two pages of his 2005 tax returns to David Cay Johnson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who wrote a book about Trump.

Johnson was suspicious that there was just a two-page summary without the rest of the information - like who Thump does business with, and who he's indebted to.

Instead, all the summary told us was that he made $150 million and paid $38 million in taxes. That's about 25%. Nothing wrong there. As a matter of fact, it looks good.

Too good. So who would of sent it?

Stump kept the story alive in the public eye with the following tweet exchange yesterday morning:

Trump
Does anybody really believe that a reporter, who nobody ever heard of, "went to his mailbox" and found my tax returns? @NBCNews FAKE NEWS!

David Kay Johnson
Gee, Donald, your White House confirmed my story. POTUS fake Tweet. Sad! https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/841966077005463553 …

and

Trump fans call &; harass my wife &; 1 of my children after I break story White House confirmed. Sad! Let's have open debate, not threats.

Mission accomplished. The mainstream media and social media will toss that bright ball around for awhile.

So far Rump has managed to throw so many lies and conspiracy theories around it's been difficult pinning anything on him.

But...and this is the saving grace, Lump has too many bad things to hide forever. 

Once exposed, his business connections with the Russians and Chinese aren't going to go well with Congress (despite the fact both houses are controlled by Republicans).

In the upcoming public address on Dump's wire tapping claim
the House Intelligence Committee will hear FBI Director Comey's testimony. Comey is convinced there were no wire taps and has said so publicly.

And so on...

A Fact-Free Presidency: Trump Tiptoes Through The Tulips

Good Day World!

Do you remember Tiny Tim?

He was a wacky musician/singer whose best remembered for his hit "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" sung in a high falsetto/vibrator voice.

The thing about Tiny Tim was that he was so foolish, and so off-key, he became a celebrity. He actually had a lot of followers back in the day.

His followers liked the fact that he was outrageous and that his act was far from being mainstream. He seemed to mock all musical conventions.


Enter Tiny Hands Trump.

You probably can see the similarities between Chump and Tiny Tim without me pointing them out.

The big difference between the two men is that one loved life and people, and the other loves money and power.

As we watch Rump roll over the truth daily, there lies an inescapable fact; he's hell bent on destroying the republic and getting richer.

With the drooling red-nosed Steve Bannon guiding him, Lump is all about destroying the framework of our society. Creating chaos.

In Rump's fact-free presidency we see what he wants us to see. Chaos. 

Tiny Tim's time on earth was spent stretching perceptions without pressure. His music was playful and chaotic.  

Hump lumbers through fields of facts like a drunk hippo.   

But I digress...

From Russia With Love: Dear Comrade Trump...We're Waiting

Good Day World!

I have a message for our first illegitimate president from the Russian Ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak:

"Dear comrade Trump,

WTF! We're waiting!

I can tell you Daddy Putin is very angry at his Donny. No sanctions have been lifted yet. No one's even talking about it.
This was not the agreement as you well know, you capitalistic dog!

Listen closely. I know you have trouble focusing at any one thing for very long, but this is important. 

Putin loves his Donny. He doesn't want to have to share those films that depict you getting pissed on by a group of Russian prostitutes. Remember the Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow?

Yea, that's the one. Boy did you party hearty!

So here's the thing my orange-skinned comrade; send our boy - and yours - Rex Tillerson over here on a diplomatic mission.

When he comes back his findings will be positive and he'll recommend lifting sanctions. Next, you have to bully Congress into being more friendly towards Daddy Putin.

By the way...remember when our spy ship sat off the United States' eastern seaboard minding its own business in international waters?

When the capitalistic dog press asked you about it you said, "Bad. Bad. Bad." Don't suddenly try to get tough with us potato face. That wouldn't be wise.

You may think that all we have are those films of you getting pissed on by paid bimbos. You'd be wrong. There's more. Lots more.

We look forward to conducting many business deals in the future with you Mr. Trump.

From Russia with love..." - Sergey Kislyak

We Have To Wait Longer Before Finding Out If Trump is Lying About Obama Wire-Tapping Trump Tower

                                           Good Day World!

Today is was going to be the showdown.

But this happened:
Justice Asks For More Time On Wiretap Claim

Thump's main attack dog, Sean Spicer, has laid out another alternate fact if Trump's lie is exposed. 

He told the press Sunday that there's a double-standard in media coverage when it comes to the Trump administration.

In essence, Chump and cronies are going to say FBI Director Comey is lying when he testifies, and they'll stick with the big lie.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said in an interview Sunday that he has not seen anything to suggest former President Obama wiretapped Lump during the 2016 election, but that what Mr. Trump tweets is “outside of [his] control” and that the congressional investigation will clear up the truth.

We can only hope. 

Based upon Chump's record thus far, he's not going to back down and will even double-up on his lie. Then what?

At what point are Republicans in Congress going to grow a pair of balls? The partisan cowards have unleashed a scourge upon democracy, and now the chickenshits don't know what to do.

What they should do is start impeachment proceedings as soon as the evidence proves Lump is lying...again. 

Let's see if our illegitimate president can weasel out of this lie. So far, he's batting 100 when it comes to suffering consequences for his daily lies.

Another Russian Link: DNC Hacker Guccifer 2.0 Talked With Trump Adviser Roger Stone

Good Day World!

Before Russian becomes our second language, the U.S. better make some serious moves.

First, and most important, is to expose the Trump/Putin bromance (releasing Trump's taxes may help connect these two big boys).

And there's the fact that connections between the Trump campaign and the Russians keep turning up like bad pennies.

There's a lot of smoke thus far with at least six of Trump's campaign staff admitting they did talk with Russians during the election.

Take Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He even lied under oath about having contact with the Russians during the election. 
So far, after he recused himself from the investigations probing Trump's camp and the Russians, he still has a job.

More worrisome is the revelation that Trump adviser Roger Stone admitted to communicating with "Guccifer 2.0" last year.

If you recall, Guccifer 2.0 was the guy that hacked the Democratic National Committee emails. Stone told the Washington Times that his conversations were "completely innocuous."

Really? How stupid are Americans?

We're told that the F.B.I. is investigating, as are the House and Senate intelligence committees. How long will this farce go on before someone gets serious and steps up with the truth?

The U.S. knows Russia interfered with it's election process. The world knows the Russians crossed a line with a direct cyber attack on our democratic political system.

Yet, we have a president who won't say a bad thing about Russia's leader. 

Most recently, Trump turned the other cheek when a Russian spy ship brazenly sat out by our eastern coastline.

Asked to comment on it by the press Trump said, "Bad. Bad. Bad."

Just like his presidency...sad, sad, sad.

The Birth of a President: Bluto's Story, a Modern Fable

Good Day World!

Have you heard the story of Bluto and how he became the president of the United States?

No? It may sound familiar, but don't let that bother you. 

In summary; one morning a bird shit on Bluto's toupee and he didn't know it. He was getting out of his car when the loose-boweled bird let go with a orangish-yellow splatter as it flew overhead.

Bluto, who owned  a company that was never unionized, was a bully. In fact, his employees feared him. No one dared to say something negative about Bluto or they'd end up losing their job.

So, when Bluto toured the building with his flunkies by his side, while checking on his employees, he made a comical sight. But no one laughed. Or said that he had bird shit on his head.

He went around all day sporting the spot on his toupee. 

When he came home that night his wife saw the bird shit on his toupee and laughed. "What's that on your head?" she asked while trying to smother her mirth.

Bluto walked over to a mirror and stared at it. Then, instead of getting mad, he boasted, "My employees all love me so much that they didn't want to embarrass me by pointing this out."

The next day when Bluto went to work he was startled to see all of his employees had orangish-yellow splatters on their heads. 

That's when he knew he was special. He could say, or do anything, and they'd support him. It was at this magic moment that Bluto knew he should run for president.

The End

Trump's Dream Comes True: China Okays 38 Trademarks

Good Day World!

What a day for The Donald!

After decades of trying to get the Chinese government to recognize his trademark name so he could get his stubby fingers into their economic market, his ship came in. 

China's Trademark Office has given preliminary approval to 38 new trademarks, covering everything from hotels to golf clubs, insurance and more.

There's a little problem with this however.

Stump's lawyer Sheri Dillion promised that there would be "no new foreign deals" during his presidency.

Yet, here we are: the Trump Organization, which the president continues to own, is laying the groundwork for business expansion in China.

Kathleen Clark, a government ethics professor at Washington University in St. Louis, told NPR at that time that by giving Trump valuable name rights, Chinese officials may hope they can influence policy decisions.

No kidding.

And that represents a breach of the Emoluments Clause, Clark believes. Other experts agree. It's just not cool having a sitting president getting richer conducting his private business in foreign countries.

Ethics Watchdogs Want U.S. Attorney To Investigate Trump's Business Interests 

This whole affair stinks, like most of Trump's schemes. It was just a short time ago when Trump was campaigning against anything Chinese.

Remember when Chump blamed China for stealing jobs from America? He also accused China of devaluing its currency and engaging in state-sponsored cyber hacking.

I can still remember Thump passionately saying, "Look what China is doing to our country! They are using it as a piggy bank to rebuild China." 

The Associated Press compiled a detailed list of 49 trademarks Trump's lawyers applied for in 2016, even as he railed against China on the campaign trail.

So what changed?

It's simple.

The campaign rhetoric that attracted many people, is proving to be dust in the wind. Lump's love of Russia, and now courting of China, are just good business in his book.

Everything is going according to plan. Stump sold the con to enough voters to have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Now it's a matter of destroying any opposition by building up a wall of supporters willing to forego ethics in exchange for getting key positions in government.

Still, it hasn't been a lay-up.

Some Dump nominees like Michael Flynn have already been ousted, and Chump's choice for Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, has had to recuse himself from an investigation regarding the Trump team and Russia.

It's Trump vs America. Stay tuned. You may want to practice speaking Chinese, along with your Russian lessons.

Beavis and Butthead Trump Flying High On Taxpayers Money

Good Day World!

Trump's two sons, Eric and Donald Jr., (aka Beavis and Butthead) have been busy sapping taxpayer funds as they conduct business worldwide. 

What a perk eh? 

Yes, I know that the president's family has to be protected and the cost of having the secret service and numerous other agencies is high. I get that. 

I also get that those two boys are billionaires conducting private business (still tied to Trump despite his denials) on the taxpayer's dollar.

It's very difficult to get hard figures for the costs for hotels, travel and overtime, especially for the Secret Service.

Some examples:

In early January, Eric Trump took a trip to Uruguay to check progress on an unfinished Trump tower. 

About a month later, he was in the Dominican Republic, seeing whether an earlier resort project could be revived. 

He joined his brother, Donald Jr., a couple of weeks later at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a Trump-branded golf course in Dubai.

I wonder why Trump's new ban on Muslim countries doesn't included the United Arab Emirates, or Saudi Arabia? Oh wait! Trump has business interests there.

Then the two younger Trumps popped up earlier last week in Vancouver, Canada, for the opening of a new Trump hotel. 

The good news is Chump won't want to build a wall now on the Canadian border because of his new business interest.

So how much taxpayer money are we talking?

The Washington Post estimates that just Eric Trump's Uruguay trip cost taxpayers $97,830 in hotel bills alone.

With less than 60 days in office the Trump boys are already straining financial resources. Imagine what the cost will be after a year of business trips? Wow!

There's no reason that the Trump boys couldn't pay some of the costs when they go on international business trips. Like their lodging for example.

That would be the classy thing to do. But, like their lying sociopath parent, the Trump boys wouldn't think of it.

Security for Melania Trump and son Barron runs about $500,000 daily. If they moved to the White House it would save taxpayers millions.

Trump trips to Mar-a-logo -11 in his first 33 days - have cost taxpayers an estimated $10 million.

That's more than President Obama spent in one year of trips. 

A challenge to all Trump supporters:

Point out one presidential family in our history that's abused these security perks more while enriching the sitting president and his family at taxpayers expense?

Good luck.

Time for me to walk on down the road...

Why is Sean Spicer Suddenly So Shy?

                                           Good Day World!

What happened?

Trump's Press secretary, Sean Spicer, has been avoiding the cameras for over a week now.

Instead he's been holding question-and-answer sessions with no cameras allowed, over the objections of the White House Correspondents Association.

Traditionally, Spicer's position calls for him to be the visible face of the administration. 

Right now the administration is hiding it's face which is under fire with investigations over Trump's campaign team and Russia's covert meetings; and now new unfounded accusations about President Obama bugging Trump Tower.

You may have noticed that Chump didn't make a big deal when he rolled out his new immigration ban - no grip-and- grins with cronies happily watching Thump sign his x on the dotted line.

Same for the big announcement that the White House is repealing Obamacare with a new plan. No photo ops of happy Republicans and Lump celebrating their new roll-out for health care.

That might be because some Republicans aren't happy with a few changes  - like what's being proposed - instead of a complete overhaul.

So the administration - from top to bottom - has become camera shy. Spicer is finding it increasingly difficult to defend everything Dump does.

And, as I suspect, he can't handle Melissa McCarthy's imitation of him on SNL. He doesn't want to give her any more visible fodder for her act.

Whatever the reason for his camera shyness is, it must be compelling...in his alternative universe.
