What is it they always say? “Lead, follow, or get the f**k out of the way.
Get the f**k out of the way, Donald. Because lead or follow are not options for you.
That’s your leader. THAT’s your leader. What kind of man does this? Let’s his friends suffer while only thinking of himself?
The Combover Presidency
Has a hairstyle ever better defined a presidency? The color is fake and it’s covering up a lot of bald(-faced lies). There will always be Trump loyalists who’ll attempt to persuade Americans to see what they pretend to see: Mike Pompeo, William Barr, Peter Navarro, the Trumpkins.
But when even China and Fox News have bailed on him as well as Arizona (you’re welcome, Susie B.), it’s time to intubate this presidency: shut him up and wait for the inevitable end.
Love The Drake
Before this week I, like most of you who have never spent much time in Lincoln, Neb. (Hi, Jacob), had no idea who Leta Powell Drake was. But then this Twitter clip of her celebrity interviews was posted and, for good reason, went viral:
So here’s Vulture, who landed an interview with Drake, an 82 year-old living legend who still resides in the Cornhusker State.
You Tackle Him
This is Howard Brown. He’s a senior quarterback at Lincoln Prep Academy in Kansas City, Missouri. Brown carries three bills and change on his 6’2″ frame.
Brown has accepted a scholarship offer to Iowa State, which plans to put him at defensive tackle. Is there any good reason for him to change positions?
Heedless Horseman
You’ve probably read about how Steve Bannon, on Facebook, suggested that both Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Chris Wray be “decapitated,” and you’ve probably further heard that Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, in a staff meeting, explained to Facebook employees why Bannon’s account was not suspended:
βWe have specific rules around how many times you need to violate certain policies before we will deactivate your account completely. While the offenses here, I think, came close to crossing that line, they clearly did not cross the line.”
You have to wonder how many times the Winklevi wonder why they didn’t plant Zuckerberg at the bottom of the Charles River when they had the chance.
This always rings true about Mark Zuckerberg. One of the greatest opening scenes ever written.
If I’d known of your change in voter residency BEFORE the election, I may have slept better. You may have been wondering why I’ve mostly been silent here since the election (er, about the election & not HM movies π ). Well, I’ve been waiting till I could control my RAGE. Four years ago on Election Night, I barely watched the coverage but when I finally did, I felt (in order) shock, devastation, physically sick & then anger. This time, I went right to RAGE. 72 million IDIOTS in this country actually voted for that incompetent, pathological wanna-be DICTATOR AGAIN! After all the lies, corruption, alienation of our allies & most of all, DEATHS of 240,000 AMERICANS! My hope & expectation for the Blue Wave was dashed on the rocks of despair.
God damn it jdubs, what the fuck is WRONG with these people?! I’ll tell you – the cancer that is Fox “News” & Facebook. Democracy is under assault thanks to those entities. As I’ve been screaming the last 4 years, NAZIs took over a political party, then the federal government & now are attempting to destroy democracy once & for all to keep in power forever. Anyone who has read how the Nazis came into & consolidated power in pre-war Germany are not surprised over what has been happening the past week. Biden, the Democrats in Congress, hell, anyone who gives a damn about our country need to wake up & STOP him & them before it’s too late.
But even when the Nazi SOCIOPATH is forcibly removed from the WH (if Biden agrees to a deal to keep that piece of shit out of prison, I will NEVER vote again!), he won’t be “gone”. Nah, he’ll keep spreading lies, fomenting hysteria & violence until it’s “time”. Three years from now, if Trump is not dead or in prison or a convicted felon (be still my beating heart), he will run again & the GOP-NAZI party (IF we have not put them all in prison for treason) will back him.
Until then, maybe we can find some more actresses, rich & gullible enough to be talked into forking over big bucks to get their coddled kids in hoity-toity colleges & then throw THEM in prison because they are such a threat to “law & order”. I don’t know about you but I feel SO safe that ‘Aunt Becky’ & not one of the god damn Trumps is in the slammer.
