U.S. May Yet Get Its First Female President

By 4 Comments

President Pelosi… the title has a nice alliterative ring to it, don’t you think?

Yes, while the possibility of the California representative ever moving into the White House is slimmer than a germ’s chance at a Lysol convention, it’s fun, and heck downright delicious, to consider!

Here’s the scenario. First, Democrats regain control of the House (and maybe the Senate, for good measure) after the mid-term elections. Following explosive revelations by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller of the Trump regime’s wrongdoing, the House impeaches both Trump and Pence. The Senate then votes to convict both and removes them from office at the same time.  Of course, House Democrats would have to vote Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House once again. But as the next in line to the presidency, Pelosi becomes the nation’s 46th president.

If this farfetched scenario were ever to happen, it would not take place in 2018 but 2019, when the new Congress organizes in January. So the earliest this theoretical Democratic majority could consider articles of impeachment would be the start of the new year..

Hey, almost anything is possible, no matter how ridiculously unlikely. Remember when we all thought there was no way in hell we would ever mouth the words “President Trump?”

U.S. Offers Free Summer Camp To Migrant Children

By Leave a Comment

Leave it to Fox News host Laura Ingraham to set the record straight. While some have called the federal detention centers, set up for brown children seeking refuge in the United States, “prisons” or “concentration camps,” Ingraham likened the facilities to “essentially summer camps.”

Is there any wonder why immigrant parents fleeing gang violence within there countries are rushing to our southern border to enroll their kids?

Just What Kind Of Dad Is Donald Trump?

By 4 Comments

Donald Trump is a “great father”… according to Donald Trump.

Now that Father’s Day is here, let’s look at what Trump’s own family has said about the man who claims to be the best dad on earth. Is Trump’s self-assessment an exaggeration … or another outright lie?

According to an article in Proudemocrat.com, what Trump’s family had to say about his parenting skills “isn’t exactly heartwarming.”

Trump’s first wife, Ivana, confirmed he has “never changed a diaper” and was too busy “making the business” to play with his kids.

On the Ray D’Arcy show last year she said that Trump “loved the kids but he would not really be the dad who would take them for a stroll … go and play soccer with them or do something like that. He was always on the phone making the business.”

Marla Maples, Trump’s second wife, has said that when it came to raising their daughter, Tiffany, Trump was generous with his money – but not his time.

Don Jr. has been quoted as saying “My father could be more understanding of the things he doesn’t … understand. You Know? If I want to go fishing rather than play golf, it’s always like, ‘Why would you go fishing all weekend? I don’t get it! It’s crazy!’”

Eric Trump has confessed Trump wasn’t exactly the best father figure. “Donnie’s always been my friend, a mentor,” Eric said of his older brother in 2006. “In a way, he raised me. My father, I love and appreciate, but he always worked 24 hours a day.”

Ivanka Trump, no doubt Daddy’s favorite, said in a 2004 interview with New York Magazine, she and her siblings “were sort of bred to be competitive.”

Tiffany, Trump’s younger daughter, has probably had the least to do with her father. In November 2016, Trump told Fox & Friends how proud he was of all his adult kids, but “to a lesser extent … Tiffany.”

Perhaps nothing explains Trump’s view of fatherhood better than this excerpt from a 2005 interview with Howard Stern. Trump said he “won’t do anything to take care of” his kids. “I’ll supply funds and she’ll take care of the kids. It’s not like I’m gonna be walking the kids down Central Park. Marla used to say, ‘I can’t believe you’re not walking Tiffany down the street, you know in a carriage. Right, I’m gonna be walking down Fifth Avenue with a baby in a carriage. It just didn’t work.’”

There you have it. Being a good father for the man currently occupying the White House is all about “supplying funds” to your kids.

Happy Father’s day to all the “real” dads out there.

Philip’s Complaint … We Have A “Humanly Impoverished” President

By 2 Comments

Philip Roth passed away last week at the age of 85.

Arguably one of America’s more prolific and respected writers, Roth had a way with words. So when he was asked to talk about the Trump presidency, he did not disappoint.

Beginning with his own political odyssey, Roth observed:

I was born in 1933, the year that F.D.R was inaugurated. He was president until I was 12 years old. I’ve been a Roosevelt Democrat ever since. I found much that was alarming about being a citizen during the tenures of Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. But, whatever I may have seen as their limitations of character or intellect, neither was anything like as humanly impoverished as Trump is: ignorant of government, of history, of science, of philosophy, of art, incapable of expressing or recognizing subtlety or nuance, destitute of all decency, and wielding a vocabulary of seventy-seven words that is better called Jerkish than English.

The prize-winning writer had some serious advice for today’s writers and journalists. He admonished them to continue to use their right to freedom of speech and press as much as possible to combat Trump’s lies and threats to these rights.

Referring to his 2004 book “The Plot Against America,” in which he eerily describes a scheme by a foreign government to destabilize American democracy, Roth said:

As for how Trump threatens us, I would say that, like the anxious and fear-ridden families in my book, what is most terrifying is that he makes any and everything possible, including, of course, the nuclear catastrophe.

Yes, Trump has so lowered the bar for what it takes to be elected to the highest office in the land that the old adage any American can become president is, regrettably, no longer wistful hyperbole.

Soup Nazi To Trump – “No Nobel Prize For You!”

By Leave a Comment

Donald Trump has called off his much-anticipated meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un scheduled for June 12 in Singapore.

In a letter to the communist leader he once called “Little Rocket Man,” Trump wrote:

Sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate, at this time, to have this long-planned meeting. Therefore, please let this letter serve to represent that the Singapore summit, for the good of both parties, but to the detriment of the world, will not take place.

But in true Trumpian fashion, the man who is cancelling the tête-à-tête ends his letter by telling Kim Jong-un:

If you change your mind having to do with this most important summit, please do not hesitate to call me or write.

The dramatic turn of events has caught everyone by surprise, especially the 18 Members of the U.S. House of Representatives, all Republicans, who only three weeks ago nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize.

As a famous Seinfeld character might now say, “No Nobel Prize for you! Come back one year!”

In retrospect, it did seem farfetched Trump would actually meet with Kim Jong-un and, even more dubious, Trump could have convinced him to give up his nuclear weapons. But the Trump team believed and plowed right ahead. They even minted a commemorative coin for the historic meeting that will not take place.

It appears that the coin is still being sold on the White House Gift Shop website at the price of $24.95… but if you act today, you can buy a coin at a discounted price: The coins are now sold at the Gift Shop’s “Deal of the Day” price of $19.95.

It would not be surprising if Trump has gotten his hands on a batch of the coins. After all, our avid golfer-in-chief could use the gaudy “minted-before-its-time” coin to mark his ball on the golf course.

During The Vietnam Era, McCain And Trump Fought Different Wars

By 2 Comments

While the North Vietnamese were holding John McCain a prisoner of war, Donald Trump, who avoided Vietnam because of a “bum foot”, was telling Howard Stern:

It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of […] It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider.

Here is more of the transcript from the 1998 interview with radio shock jock Howard Stern::

STERN: A lot of guys who went through Vietnam came out unscathed.  A lot of guys going through the 80’s having sex with different women came out with AIDS and all kinds of things.

TRUMP: This is better than Vietnam, but it’s uh… it’s more fun.

STERN: A little better, but every vagina is a landmine, haven’t we both said that in private?

TRUMP: [intense laughter] I think it is a potential landmine.  There’s some real danger there.

STERN: When you go to a bar, do you ever go with a fleet of doctors and have them check all the women, and then party with the uninfected?

TRUMP: [laughter] The few!  You mean the few uninfected!

TRUMP: You have to have a roving doctor, his office has to be in your briefcase.  He has to be your best friend.  He has to go with you at all times.  He has to do onsite tests. [laughter]

Cadet Bone Spurs, there is only one great and very brave soldier in the above photo. For damn sure it isn’t you!

Which One Is The Golf Addict?

By 2 Comments

According to the Independent, Donald Trump plays golf almost three times as much as Barack Obama. That’s the same Donald Trump who promised voters, “I’m not gonna play much golf because there’s a lot of work to be done.”

Obama played a total of 333 rounds of golf during his 8 years as president. According to Trumpgolfcount.com, Trump has already hit the links 105 times in 1  1/3 years in office… at a cost of over $65 million to John Q. Public.

Like so many Trump lies told to his gullible supporters during the presidential campaign, the “no golf” whopper is a real doozy. It is like the “hole-in-one” of lies… a spectacular feat!
