Thanks, I wouldn’t have guessed Duterte. I guess it’s appropriate that Il Duce is next to El Douche.

For a moment there I thought this was an unexpectedly placed Mentors reference!

Trump, exulting over the dismissal of her lawsuit, calls Stormy Daniels “Horseface”: [Trump calls Stormy Daniels 'horseface' after judge dismisses her suit](https://www.aol.com/article/news/2018/10/16/trump-calls-stormy-daniels-horseface-after-judge-dismisses-her-suit/23562755/)

It’s the one in the bottom left I’m unsure of. Looks kind of like Mao, but a portrait from when he was older would be more easily recognized, and I can’t imagine it’s just because of positioning, since Satan’s neck is doing a 170 turn.

I’m sure it’s supposed to be Chairman Mao, and the style is very reminiscent of Chicom propaganda posters from the 60s, but I can’t really pinpoint the source (they printed so many of these fucking things…)

The fact that there’s a website devoted to shit like this…

As the website notes, Trump absolutely asked for it:

Donald Trump spent much of the Obama Administration [snarking on the President and his family for golf outings, vacations, and the associated costs to the taxpayers.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/02/13/trump-used-to-have-a-slightly-different-opinion-of-presidents-playing-golf/?utm_term=.382e953daa65) Now that Trump’s own Presidential leisure excursions are proving to be far more frequent and costly than Obama’s (for instance, in less than two years he’s taken nearly half as many golf trips as Obama did in his entire eight-year time in office), he has nobody but himself to blame if he gets mocked for his hypocrisy and lies.

I guess those pesky bone spurs are in remission as long as he stays clear of war zones.

President Comacho was in Missoula yesterday. I was reading the local paper this morning and I learned this is his THIRD maga rally in MT in the last 4 months.

a) Remember when people used to complain about Obama golfing occasionally? If you add up all the time Comacho golfs and rallies, you are left with single-digit number of days left for presidentin’ (that’s probably a good thing).

b) MT gets a grand total of ONE representative in the House (that’s out of 435), but 2 Senators. This isn’t really related to Comacho beyond pointing out the importance of converting that one blue seat to red for him. I think each senator in that state represents about 500 humans, several million sheep, and a couple billion pronghorn. Also a shitload of oil, coal and minerals.

At that rally, Trump sang the praises of Representative Greg Gianforte, who was caught on [audio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQwu4wff7lI) body-slamming a reporter last year right before a special election to fill the Montana House seat. Gianforte won the election but later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault.

> “Any guy that can do a body slam, he’s my kind of guy,” Trump said at the event as supporters cheered him on. “I had heard that he body-slammed a reporter … and he was way up, and I said, ‘Oh, this is terrible, he’s going to lose the election.’ Then I said, ‘I know Montana pretty well,’ and I said I think it might help him. And it did.”

His name is Gianforte? Doesn’t that mean “John the Loud”? Ah, the poetry of coincidence

It’s not so much him doing that (he has praised him before), but doing so when the controversy over Khashoggi murder (and it seems likely that murder it was) is still in the news, is remarkably tone-deaf, even for Trump.

Still, it’ll play well in Montana. More’s the pity.

My bold.

There’s another phrase that has become meaningless: “even for Trump.”
