Everything President Chump touches becomes infected. He’s like the opposite of King Midas, turning everything into shit instead of gold.
**Trump Tweets Incoherent Warning to Macron, Suggests Germany Could Invade France Again **
Thump continues to astound and amaze. Not in a good way.
I am sure my coworkers would be trés surprised to learn that la belle France needs to be made great again. They’re reasonably sure it is quite great thank you, despite the occasional blemish (those are, after all, temporary).
I don’t doubt there is a higher percentage conservatives in the military than in the general populace, but it’s hardly all, especially among officers who tend to be better educated. Who has more experience with communal effort and working as a team?
Besides, they tend to be big on duty and honor, which doesn’t describe Republicans at all any more. Remember how pissed they got at Ollie North when he tried to use his Marine card during Iran-Contra?
Trump is now blaming the Secret Service for his non-appearance at this week’s memorial service. He says they wouldn’t let him go to the cemetery. Which he misspelled cemetary.
Gee, isn’t the Secret Service responsible for keeping Trump safe from assassins, violent protests, and general unpleasantness?
One would think that he shouldn’t piss them off.
They’re liable to let a fella walk around with toilet paper stuck to his shoe!
Today Trump tweeted:
Hmmm. Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains. I think he’s missing someone there. Not sure. It’s on the tip of my tongue…
Anyway, apropos of nothing, when I celebrated Diwali this past weekend, it was mighty nice of the local Hindu temple to let all us Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains use their excellent facilities.
(I’m actually a white, former-Catholic, atheist, but my wife is an Indian Hindu. The Diwali celebration at the local temple is great. The fireworks are nuts. Get a whole bunch of people in close quarters in a parking lot at night and start setting off a few thousand pounds of sparklers and fountains…)
What’s worse… there’s no way that POTUS typed that himself, and the staffer who did, who is apparently able to generally string words together so that they can be read by humans, still managed to screw this up.
(Yes, I have higher expectations of anonymous WH staffers than himself.)
Trump probably figures having the Secret Service take the blame for his bad decisions is part of their mission. It’s the metaphorical equivalent of taking a bullet for him.
If Trump actually attended any sort of Diwali celebration I’ll eat my socks. He probably thinks chicken tandoori is a cowardly eye-talian.
Caravan? What caravan? I don’t see any caravan. Do you see a caravan?
A Week After the Midterms, Trump Seems to Forget the Caravan
Ha! Not fucking likely! Given the cranky-two-year-old mood he’s in, he’ll probably leave them there permanently.
“If you buy a box of cereal — you have a voter ID.”

Sudafed flakes?
I know those are all English words, but what the fuck does it mean?
ETA:
Now that I think about - need answer fast … I just got home from the grocery store with a box of Cheerios in tow. Am I a Senator for Florida now or something?
IIRC, in a previous rant, Trump said something to the effect that you have to have ID to purchase goods, even including cereal, but you don’t have to have ID to vote. (This is, of course, wrong on many levels, but I’ll put that aside for the moment.) I presume his defective brain compressed that into “If you buy a box of cereal — you have a voter ID”. I predict this will be further compressed into “cereal - ID” at some point, and ultimately to a two-syllable word like “cerid”, which he will repeat as a mantra while he holds the door closed against the FBI agents who come to haul him out of the Oval Office.
Maybe there are different rules at the supermarket nearest to Mar-A-Lago - probably after he bounced his third check there.
From the same interview, he opines on the master criminals who vote multiple times:
“Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again.”
No word on whether they bother to put on a fake mustache or glasses.
I mean, just stepping back and realizing what a ridiculously stupid crime this is. Voter fraud like this is all risk and no reward.
Well maybe if your Russel Wilson.
Trump is one of the dumbest motherfuckers ever to step up to a microphone.
