It is easy to get depressed at the fate of the world reading about it at the crack of dawn. “I read the news today, oh boy. About a lucky man who went insane.” The Republicans hold an endless series of Congressional hearings on Joe Biden’s mental competence. Chaired ironically, by the aged Chuck Grassley. Who once knew Thomas Edison when he was still a young boy. But these same Republicans look away while the Great Dictator man/child corrects himself, jibbers incoherently, stumbles on stairs and gets angry because the soldiers in his play parade didn’t look mean enough. Unless these Republicans have access to a time machine or a calendar, they should probably knock it off.
86 proof Pete Hegseth got an angry phone call from the Great Dictator, because Trump didn’t like the tone of his parade. With soldiers smiling and waving to the crowd. The Great Dictator wanted more of a Stalinist, North Korean feel with angry looks and menacing bayonets. He wanted Gunnery Sergeant Hartman but got Gomer Pyle instead.
I was so depressed that even a Space X Starship explosion couldn’t cheer me up for long. This time, Space X eliminated the audience participation and falling debris by exploding the rocket on the ground. NASA had the same problem back in 1959. Imagine, if sixty years after the Wright Brothers. Airplane X couldn’t get their airplane to fly. It is a well-studied and well understood technology. It isn’t rocket science. Okay, it is rocket science, but you know what I mean. Amateur rocket clubs are reaching space with home-built rockets all the time. Imagine, if they had Elon’s money behind them?
The Wall Street Urinal reported that Israel doesn’t have enough interceptor rockets. That’s some real fine reporting there. You make your mama proud! Are there any other military secrets you’d like to tell us all about? Of course, it was leaked by the Administration because loose lips have Trump attached to them. The Taco in Chief was going to ban Tik Tok. Then he wasn’t. Then he was after so many days. Now he’s decided to kick that can down the road once again. But one of these days brother! One of these days.! Pow! Tik Tok is really going to get it.
The White Waffle House can’t seem to get its act together. One minute, Trump is poised to attack Iran and the next, he’ll have to think about it. Now, who can keep up? Now, Trump says he will wait two weeks to make a decision. TACO! TACO! TACO! The Great Dictator wants to wait until the war is over before he tries to Mussolini himself in. Trying to keep himself safe from making the wrong decision.
The Iran issue alone has the Trumpanzees throwing their turds in all directions. Tucker Carlson was being cruel to dumb animals by asking trick questions of Ted Cruz. “How many people live in Iran?” Well, I ah. I mean. Well, you know. It’s a really big place and I bet there are lots of people living there. But I don’t keep up with population numbers. It made Tucker look smart. Sort of like playing chess with a Golden Retriever.
But behind the scenes and the giant flag poles, like the ones found in used car lots across America. There are serious issues tearing at the fringes of the Administration. And while the Republicans argue about the big beautiful unpopular Murder bill or bombing Iran. Methinks they doth protest too much! Is it really Iran or Tik Tok that has them in a tizzy? Or could it be the rumblings and groundswell of buyer’s remorse? Republicans see Trump’s approval rating at 38% and they understand. It’s probably all downhill from here. That 38% means Republicans are going to lose elections next year. General Custer says we should go this way! He’s almost certain there are no hostiles over that hill!
The Republicans want to preach about Joe Biden’s competence, but they quake about Trump’s competence. Trump is losing ground on all fronts. His ditching of the G-7 meeting to run away and hide from Zelensky. Allegedly to take care of the affairs of Israel and Iran. While not actually doing anything at all about Israel and Iran made the Great Dictator look like the Great Weak-Kneed Doofus. Incompetence Incorporated! The G-7 went ahead and produced a stronger statement of support for Ukraine than if Trump had remained in Alberta. Trump makes France the leader of the Western alliance.
The man child worried about parades and flag poles while the world burns. Now Trump wants to get rid of Tulsi Gabbard because she’s not pulling in her quota of positive headlines. Trump wishes to assume the office of Director of National Intelligence for himself. (Ironic much?) In much the same way the German Fuhrer took over the army when they disappointed him at Stalingrad. You followed my orders to the letter, but you didn’t win! So, you’re all fired! There is a creeping chill in Washington about the chilling creep.
The Republicans all thought it’ll be fine. They’d get Trump elected and then they could do whatever they wanted. Much in the same way the industrialists and the Reichstag once thought they could control the German Fuhrer.
The labor statistics for May show Americans spent one billion dollars less last month than a year ago. New car lots are empty like graveyards at midnight. Restaurants, airlines, hotels and travel all down when they should be up. New homes sales fell more than 11% over last May, despite better mortgage terms. The number of Americans working fell for the second and nearly the third straight month in a row. Trump’s tariffs and immigration machinations are ripping the economy apart. And the number of Americans no longer counted in the labor force rose by over 800,000 in thirty days. That really helps to keep the unemployment number static, if you just stop counting people.
Rather than investigating Joe Biden’s mental competence, Physician Heal Thyself! Remove the log from your own eye and stop worrying about the sty in Joe Biden’s eye.
