Shut Up, You Clown

From Bill Palmer:

There has been yet another deadly school shooting, this time in Texas, and the specter of more dead children left me at a loss for words. I truly had no idea what to say or write about it, because it’s all been said already. Then Donald Trump opened his mouth about the shooting, and let’s just say that more than a few choice words have come to my mind in response.

Shortly after the shooting happened, Trump tweeted “School shooting in Texas. Early reports not looking good. God bless all!” As far as first responses go, this was pretty stupid, but it almost sounded well meaning. Alright, I thought, let’s see what else this idiot is going to have to say on the matter. Then an hour later Trump posted a minute long speech about the shooting, vaguely promising to do everything he can to prevent this from happening again. That’s when I thought of some words of my own.

“Bullshit” was the first word that came to mind. This guy is flat out lying. After the Stoneman Douglas shooting, Trump made the same vague promise, before ultimately cowering in the face of the Russia-funded NRA. Trump is going to pull the same thing here. He’ll generically pretend to care about gun control for a day or two, then he’ll go right back to letting terrorist groups like the NRA call the shots. But it’s what Trump did after this video that truly angered me.

Just a few minutes after pretending to care about this school shooting, Donald Trump began posting a series of dishonest tweets touting his own (imaginary) accomplishments on unrelated issues. Children are needlessly dead on his watch, and he’s beating his chest. By tonight or tomorrow, he’ll be back to tweeting juvenile insults and falsely accusing his political opponents of crimes. When is this clown going to shut up?

Right There With Ya, Tom.

Okay, I know the man is an actor, but this still seems pretty heartfelt.

Lucifer was one of those shows that I grew to love. But like Fox has done with countless other shows I’ve become emotionally invested in (I will never forgive them for Wonderfalls), they pulled the plug. At least this one made it three seasons.

I’m hoping it’s picked up by Netflix or Hulu or Amazon, and we’ve heard some backchannel chatter from the cast members that we shouldn’t give up hope just yet, so who knows?

The season ended with unanswered questions, but it was satisfying enough that if it truly must come to an end, it was a relatively good end.

Shower Thoughts

Having kids is a lot like having dogs. Everyone else’s are tidy, smart and well-behaved and you’re just happy yours didn’t shit on the floor today.

Quote of the Day

He is a titanic—and I mean titanic—fraud. We have listened to this guy for many, many years in this country, on his moral high horse assaulting the dignity of gay people, across the board. His moral preening is famous throughout the land. Yet he is the most obsequious of all Trump’s cultists in the cabinet.

There have been occaions, as George Will points out, where speaking on Trump, in front of Trump, Pence compliments him on an average of every 3.2 seconds.

We have never seen such slobbering servility by a high government official in this country than we do in Mike Pence and Donald Trump. It is amazing. He’s supposed to be service the American people. He’s the Vice President of the United State,s and he acts like he’s the house butler at Mar-a-Lago.” ~ Republican Steve Schmidt
