There is No Art in This White House

There is no art in this White House. There is no literature or poetry in this White House. No music. No Kennedy Center award celebrations. There are no pets in this White House. No loyal man's best friend. No Socks the family cat. No kid's science fairs. No times when this president takes off his blue suit-red tie uniform and becomes human, except when he puts on his white shirt-khaki pants uniform and hides from Americans to play golf. There are no images of the first family enjoying themselves together in a moment of relaxation. No Obamas on the beach in Hawaii moments, or Bushes fishing in Kennebunkport, no Reagans on horseback, no Kennedys playing touch football on the Cape. I was thinking the other day of the summer when George H couldn't catch a fish and all the grandkids made signs and counted the fish-less days. And somehow, even if you didn't even like GHB, you got caught up in the joy of a family that loved each other and had fun. Where did that country go? Where did all of the fun and joy and expressions of love and happiness go? We used to be a country that did the ice bucket challenge and raised millions for charity. We used to have a president that calmed and soothed the nation instead of dividing it. A first Lade that planted a garden instead of ripping one out. We are rudderless and joyless. We have lost the cultural aspects of society that make America great. We have lost our mojo. Our fun, our happiness. The cheering on of others. The shared experiences of humanity that makes it all worth it. The challenges that we shared and celebrated. The unique can-do spirit Americans have always been known for. We have lost so much in so short a time.

Mindful of my own karma, I am going to choose my words carefully to comment on the news that Orangecaligula and his whore both tested positive for COVID-19.

Supposedly.

There are currently two schools of thought on this announcement, showing just how far our country has fallen into the abyss. The first generally accepts the news at face value, and many of us on the left are sending "tots and pears" in response. To be honest, I was absolutely giddy—an emotion I haven't really felt for the last four years—last night upon hearing the news. As much as one part of me would like to see him suffer and die from the disease he allowed to spread like wildfire across this country, the other, better part of me wishes both he and Melanoma a full recovery…so we can see them stripped of every last asset and forced to live out the rest of their pathetic, narcissistic lives in prison.

The second school of thought is saying that this is simply an elaborate ruse cooked up by the administration to get Trumplethinskin out of any further debates, seeing how unrestrained his firehose of effluent had been on Tuesday (was it only Tuesday?)—especially since the consensus seems to be that Biden "won" the debate if only because he was calm, cool, and well…presidential.

It was revealed this morning that the current Vice President and his wife  "Mother" both tested negative, thus dashing any fantasies of having a President Pelosi at the helm for even the briefest period of time if both Trump and Pence were to fall ill to such a degree they were unable to perform their duties. (To be honest, how could you actually tell if Trump was capable of performing his duties as President, because he sure as hell isn't doing it now—or for that matter, for last four years.)

And that is all I'm going to say about it.

Debbie, however, would like to add something…

But You Know…

…that would require Orangecaligula to actually work 40 hours a week, something we all know has never happened/will never happen.

Quote of the Day

The core Trump dissonance is that he's an elderly man who possesses the outward appearance and trappings of adulthood—and who occupies the public role we most strongly associate with adulthood—but who is on the inside predominantly infantile.

The president, if anything, exhibits a characteristic inability to see much beyond his own ego preoccupations. He appears to have no real friendships, habitually belittles those he sees as weak while denying any weakness of his own, and is perennially insecure, desperate to bolster his ratings, numbers, and stats by bending the facts to assuage his fears; he has little demonstrated capacity to joyfully laugh at himself (or laugh at all), and has professed to being uninterested in self-reflection and insight; the only problem he seems genuinely interested in (and truly capable of) solving is the chronic threat of his own waning relevance, and his guiding moral principle is that whatever works to make him 'win' is the right thing to do.

Trump's cognitive and psychological maturity deficits explain much about the jarring effect of his appearance and the strong reaction he provokes. Thus, beyond the dissonance and shock of witnessing someone so childlike in a position of truly terrifying and awesome power, the underlying fascination and dread of Trump's presidency emerge not merely from our sense that we don't know what he will do tomorrow, but also from the sense that he doesn't know that, either."

Visualize the Perp Walk. Make It So.

I went to bed last night really upset that this orange moron is planning a coup in front of the cameras and there is just no reaction from most of the Republikkkans.

In fact many Republikkkan governors are already planning on helping him try to pull off an election night coup d'etat.

But then I woke up this morning realizing that this is more gaslighting from a man desperate not to lose, knowing that losing the whitehouse means going to jail for fraud, tax evasion and probably rape.

He wants us to give up on the idea of voting, to believe that he will send in troops to gather up mail in ballots and impound them and that our votes won't matter.

The Biden teams knows he's going to pull any number of shenanigans and they have a team of lawyers ready able and willing to kick up a shit storm when he does and folks, the lawyers that Trump has been using have been losing case after case after case.

Yes, he's going to cheat.

Yes, he's going to fight to stay in the office.

Remember Hillary got almost 3 million more votes than he did and a lot of people have already realized CheetohStalin must be stopped.

We can do this. Let's all just visualize his perp walk while we vote.
