Thank You Donald!

ELBOWS UP!

During the Second World War!

Do you know WHO the "Germans" were MOST afraid of......?

Why is Trump so disliked worldwide?

 Answered by Tara Martel!

Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

"A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever.

I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. 

And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. 

He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. 

And like all trolls, he is never funny, and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. 

His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. 

It's all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly up-front.

Well, we don’t. 

We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. 

All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, and Oliver Twist.

Trump is neither plucky nor an underdog. 

He is the exact opposite of that.

He’s not even a spoiled rich boy or a greedy fat cat.

He’s more of a fat white slug. 

A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is the most unforgivable of all things to the British: ...a bully.

That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. 

He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. 

He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy... is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

* Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

* You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.

After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet or hear him speak a sentence or two without staring deep into the abyss. 

He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. 

His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. 

But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.

In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumps of hair and scream in anguish:

'My God? What have I created?"

If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

SO.... How about us Canadians...

DRUMPF RUNS WILD!

Well, kids... some of the MAGA nut-jobs have decided to give Drumpf the Ultimate Birthday Present!

A PLACE ON MT. RUSHMORE!

 BY THE WAY... THIS IS WHAT DRUMPF IS GOING TO DO WITH HIS TARIFFS!

According to our local paper... The London Free Press!)

On a side note here: Trump has been The President for exactly one week now... and the chaos... confusion... and bullshit... is just getting warmed up!

I hope you assholes that voted for him are happy... because the poorer you are... the more you're going to get fucked! (Look what he did today... he cancelled school lunch programs and a bunch of other stuff that hits low income families the worst!!!)

DRUMPF!

 I was watching the Presidential Inauguration on TV today... and just when they got to the point of swearing Donald J. Trump in as the new 'President of the United States...' I had to go and have a big shit!

The irony did not escape me!

Mid-Week Mayhem! Inauguration day, Jan. 20, 2025!

 

NOW WHAT?

 

Was Donald Drumpf a good president?

Here’s the biggest myth that Republican candidate Donald Trump is trying to sell to Americans and to the world: that he was a good president.

Trump’s continuously repeated falsehoods about his record as president have convinced many people who find him to be a horrible person, but nevertheless support him because of what Trump says about his term in office.

“Yes, I know, he’s 78, he’s not as sharp as he used to be, he lies all the time, he has cheated on his wives, he makes racist comments, he is a convicted felon, and he tried to carry out a coup after he lost the last elections. But he was a good president,” a Republican friend told me recently.

Let me share with you some facts to help fight political amnesia. In fact, Trump was one of the worst presidents in recent history. Here are the facts:

A larger deficit

On the economy, Trump left the biggest deficit in U.S. history.

Under Trump, the national debt grew much faster than during his successor Joe Biden. Like most populists, Trump cut taxes and spent as if there were no tomorrow, leaving a national debt that will have to be paid by our children and grandchildren for decades.

The national debt rose by almost $7.8 trillion to $28 trillion during Trump’s four years in office, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The debt has kept growing since, but at a significantly slower pace.

As for the country’s economic growth, the U.S. economy under Trump grew by an overall 6.8%. By comparison, it grew by 8.4% in the Biden years.

On the jobs’ front, Trump left office with 3 million fewer jobs than there were when he entered the White House. Granted, that was largely because of the pandemic, but Biden has added nearly 16 million jobs since then.

Granted, inflation was lower under Trump than under Biden. The pandemic disrupted supply chains from China and made consumer prices soar in America in 2021 and 2022. But inflation has since fallen to 2.4%, close to its pre-pandemic levels.

A weakened democracy

On democracy, Trump undermined democratic institutions and the rule of law like no other American president in recent memory. He is the first U.S. president I can remember who tried to stage a coup d’etat to stay in power.

Trump falsely claims to this day that he won the 2020 election, even after more than 60 courts and the conservative-majority Supreme Court found his objections to be unsubstantiated.

Then, he tacitly tried to incite rebellion on Jan. 6, 2021, when he waited for hours before trying to stop a pro-Trump mob from invading the U.S. Capitol in hopes of overturning the election result. He continues to praise the violent rioters who injured more than 100 police officers, calling them “patriots” and government “hostages.”

Emboldening dictators

On foreign policy, Trump weakened America’s standing in the world by picking fights with the closest U.S. allies while at the same time embracing dictators such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.

Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord and threatened to abandon the U.S.-European NATO military alliance. Trump’s threats to leave NATO significantly damaged the group’s unity and probably encouraged Putin to plan his 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Trump deserves credit for the Abraham Accords to help establish diplomatic ties between Israel and some Arab countries. But if you look at the world in terms of superpower-led blocs, Trump left power in 2020 with a weaker Western alliance and a stronger China and Russia.

Reproductive rights

On abortion, Trump appointed three conservative Supreme Court judges who played a crucial role in overturning Roe v. Wade, a ruling that had made abortions legal in the country for nearly 50 years. As a result, some states banned abortions, and some women reportedly died because they could not get proper medical care to end their pregnancies.

More hatred

On crime, hate crimes increased by 28% during Trump’s term and hate-motivated murders, mainly committed by white supremacists, reached their highest number in 28 years, according to FBI statistics.

Trump has exacerbated racial hatred in the country since he started his 2016 campaign falsely declaring that most Mexican undocumented immigrants are “rapists” and are “bringing crime” to America. In 2017, he said that there were “very fine people” among white supremacists and the anti-racism demonstrators who were protesting against them in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Trump’s racist statements have worsened since. He recently falsely claimed that Haitian immigrants are eating the pets of Americans in Springfield, Ohio. In an Oct. 7 radio interview, Trump said that unauthorized migrants who committed violent crimes have “bad genes,” a language reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s efforts to dehumanize Jews.

Also, in 2020, the last year of the Trump presidency, there was the biggest one-year increase in the number of murders since the 1960s, according the Politifact fact checking website. In addition to the pandemic and the George Floyd riots, Democrats attribute the 30% rise in murders to the relaxation of gun control laws under Trump.

False border promises

On immigration, Trump never completed the border fence nor got Mexico to pay for it, as he had promised in his 2016 campaign. Trump now claims to have built much of the current 654 miles of border wall, but most of it was already in place and repaired or upgraded during his years in office, according to Customs and Border Protection data.

On the COVID-19 Pandemic, Trump scorned face masks and at one point asked Americans to inject themselves with disinfectant to fight the virus. Scientists say many of the 400,000 Covid deaths during his presidency could have been averted if he had exhorted people to get vaccinated.

The list of Trump administration failures goes on and on. So if you are planning to vote for Trump because of something specific he has promised, and you are willing to believe a compulsive liar, go ahead. But please don’t tell me he was a good president: he was a disaster on virtually all fronts!

Saturday Morning Confusion: DRUMPF!

 

What is... and what never should be done! (With apologies to Led Zep!)

 As a Canadian, I am obligated to act as an "Honest Broker" in matters of U.S. politics... that's why I had to post THIS... when I ran across it today!

D R U M P F !

 

January 20th, 2025...!

 

DRUMPF!

SUNDAY MORNING FUNNIES: PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE!

Well, kids, you might not know it but the Presidential Debate between Drumpf and Biden took place this weekend so that they could tape it and then make any adjustments they felt would be necessary! Fortunately, the Perspective Research Department managed to get a rough copy of the debate and we now present it here........!

Drumpf II

 

Drumpf!

Welcome Home!

Allan: 

I am a Canadian who took advantage of a job opportunity and moved to the USA in the mid-1980s, on an H1 visa. 

I eventually became a US citizen. 

But the USA is now on a path I want no part of. 

Given my values, opinions and political views, I am a far better fit in Canada. 

I moved back to Ontario a few months ago and bought into a small business.

I read history, and I think the US is going to continue to deteriorate, and there will be many people wishing they could leave for another country. 

I would not consider moving (back) to the USA.

Here's something "The Mrs. Herself" sent me!!!!!!! 

Saturday Morning Confusion: Drumpf!

STILL DON'T BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS THE "ANTI-CHRIST?"

(Good thing I'm not the least bit religious!)

BONUS: We reversed the polarity on the "Way Back Machine" and took this picture of Kim Kardashian 20 years from now!

Mid-Week Mayhem!

 The Pope and trump are on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a large crowd.

The Pope leans towards Trump and says: “Do you know that with one little wave of my hand, I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy?

This joy will not be a momentary display but will go deep into their hearts and they will forever speak of this day and rejoice!

Trump replied; “I seriously doubt that!”

“With one little wave of your hand?”

“Show me!”

So the pope backhanded him and knocked him off the stage, AND THE CROWD ROARED AND CHEERED WILDLY, and there was happiness throughout the land!

(Pope Francis is about to hit Drumpf on the head to shut him up!!!!)

Happy Easter From Drumpf!
