Fucking same.  I would rather live in an area with people I feel comfortable with than a high end suburb full of BTs.

And this guy's pillows are Just Reich....

"Goodbye, Grifters"

Quote

If you believe the Trumps will leave the White House without stealing some shit, then I got a bridge to sell you.

Here’s a spoiler, not a prediction: In the coming weeks, we’re going to see news articles about shit the Trumps took out of the White House they weren’t supposed to take. Wait for it. It’s happening. But, I’m no miracle savant with a magic glowing orb (similar to the one Trump was fondling with leaders in Saudi Arabia on his very first official presidential trip) that can see into the future. It’s easy to predict what Trump will do because he always does the wrong thing.

What I know about the future is, Donald Trump will continue to lie about election fraud. Donald Trump will tell us he’s still the president (sic). Donald Trump will attempt to bilk the government for every cent he can get. He will continue to raise money, put it into his PAC, then spend that money at Trump resorts. His kids will continue to be trust-fund goons. And Donald Trump will steal some shit. C’mon, this is a guy who stole from his own charity and even a child’s golf ball. Donald Trump steals shit. He’s a grifter. He’s a conman and though he will not be president (sic) after noon on January 20, thank God, he will always be America’s First Conman.

In the past, he’s refused to pay contractors for work done on his resorts and casinos. He’s fought them in court then after settling for much less than he originally agreed with the contractors, he’d stiff the lawyers who fought the case for him. Even now in his last remaining days, he’s refusing to pay Rudy Giuliani’s legal fees and not just because he was charging by the farts. And that’s his friend. Do you know how you can tell a lawyer sucks? It’s when he takes on Donald Trump as a client.

As Donald Trump continues to claim he won the election, he’s packing to leave the White House. The staff is packing and they’re already taking shit out. The White House press office is totally empty and right now, Kayleigh McEnany is fabricating her resume. And some funny stuff has been spotted leaving the White House.

Often when a president and his family leaves the White House, they take some stuff with them they shouldn’t. When the Clintons left, they took a bunch of stuff they weren’t supposed to. They ended up paying the government for some of it and returned others. Was this them being corrupt or being confused? It’s hard to say. On one hand, the rules can be confusing. On the other hand, they’re the Clintons.

Presidents can keep gifts they receive from American citizens. They do have to report the value of it just like private citizens do. But, if the gift was given to the White House, not the president, then the gift belongs to the federal government. That’s where presidents are often confused. Did you give me or the White House that Persian rug?

In 1880, Queen Victoria gave President Rutherford B. Hayes (and yet another who was a better president than Trump) a really cool gift. It was a desk carved out of timber from the British ship H.M.S Resolute. Today, that desk is in the White House and has been used by nearly every president since. Why didn’t Hayes take it when he left the White House? Because gifts from foreign leaders go to the National Archives.

And presidents get some cool stuff, like jewelry, furniture, swords, puppies, pandas, and crocodile insurance. What? Richard Nixon got pandas from China which went to the National Zoo in Washington. President Obama got crocodile insurance from Australia. Donald Trump never received crocodile insurance probably because nobody gives a rat’s ass if he gets eaten by crocodiles…though I’ve been told crocodiles do have better taste.

So the rules on gifts can be confusing. Was it a gift to you or the White House, was it foreign or domestic, is it alive and can it eat you? But one thing is clear, if it was in the White House before you got there, you can’t take it.

This week, chief-of-staff Mark Meadows’ wife was seen taking out a stuffed pheasant. Maybe that was a gift directly to Mark Meadows from an American taxpayer or maybe he brought it with him when he took the job because no office is complete without a stuffed dead bird. The Meadows claim it was brought with him when he took the job and I think that’s believable as it sounds like something disgusting and tacky that a MAGAt would think spiffs up the place. If you see a Trump walking out with a painting of dogs playing poker, yeah that’s probably theirs. I half expect to see Don Jr. walking out with a leg lamp from the Italian city of Fragile.

Also seen being carted off was a bust of Abraham Lincoln, who Donald Trump taught us was a Republican. This bust belongs to the federal government and when not in the White House, is stored with the White House Collection of which the White House chief usher and the curator have responsibility for managing and accounting for in every presidency. The incoming president and his spouse choose which items they want in the White House from the official collection. My question is: Why would the Lincoln bust ever leave?

The Andrew Jackson painting? Sure. Send that back to the Collection. But the Lincoln bust? Can’t you assume the next president would want that to remain? And if not, I guess he’d say something after he assumes office and you can remove it then. But that won’t happen because everyone would want the Lincoln bust. Duh!

But, just who is the White House chief usher, the main dude responsible for keeping track of this stuff? He is Timothy Harleth and the curator of the White House Historical Association reports to him. The curator is a career professional who has been on the job for 30 years. Harleth, the usher, is a former employee of the Trump Hotel. Fuck.

There’s going to be a LOT of missing shit.

During a trip to Paris, Donald Trump was supposed to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery for fallen Marines, but changed his mind when he thought it was pronounced “Asinine.” So instead of visiting war dead, who he considers suckers and losers, he went to the ambassador’s residence and stole some shit.

At the residence, he found a portrait and bust he liked of Benjamin Franklin, so he took those back to the White. He also took some Greek figurines (naked women) which was a step-up from the usual figurines he collects from Happy Meals. As it turns out, the items were not authentic and were replicas. That’s normal for Donald Trump as he has a history of purchasing copies then claiming they’re the real deal, despite the fact the authentic paintings are in museums.

The stuff from Paris was exchanged for the real deals which were in the federal archiaves, but how much do you want to bet it all accidentally lands at Mar-a-Lago? How about the Lincoln bust? How about everything in the White House?

Donald Trump is a grifter. Grifters gotta grift. If the curator was really smart, she would have anticipated this back in 2016 after the election, and had everything in the White House replaced with replicas. And the cool thing is, Donald Trump wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. He probably thinks the Las Vegas Eiffel Tower is the real one.

As for all the furniture, let’s hope the Bidens get a new mattress and additionally, fumigate the entire place. Matter of fact, the usual sanitizing and cleaning of the White House between administrations is much more intense this time. They’re saying it’s because of covid. Sure. That’s why.

I just hope somebody took a real inventory. And don’t trust that hotel guy. Count after him.

Of course, even though the Trumps will leave with stuff they don’t own, there is a positive aspect. They’re leaving. And even though they’re going to take stuff that’s not theirs, you bet there will be Trumpy stuff that’ll remain with us forever.

It’s going to take a long time to scrub all the orange funk off. But just in case, while the Trumps are leaving, check their pockets.

"Trumping Nixon"

Quote

These are the last days of the Trump era, unless you’re a Qanon cultist, then you think it’s the beginning of the second Trump administration and we’re all going to be surprised on December 8th, then December 14th, then January 6th, and now on January 20th. You’ll see. That final ace up Trump’s sleeve hasn’t been used yet. He is a stable genius, don’t you know?

Back in reality, these are the last days of the Trump administration and according to White House sources, Donald is grouchy. It’s like a baby that’s really tired but is fighting falling asleep, so it works to make everyone in its atmosphere just as miserable as it is? That’s something else Donald Trump has in common with babies. They’re terrorists and they will destroy you. Fortunately, babies usually grow out of it. Trump on the other hand…not so much.

But, whatever you do, don’t say Donald Trump has anything in common with Richard Nixon. Those comparisons are unfair in that Nixon wasn’t an idiot and his administration has a strong list of accomplishments, which should also remind Republicans who argue and lie about all the great things Trump has done, so let’s not punish him. It doesn’t matter if a president has done great things when you judge him for breaking the law.

One comparison that keeps coming up is the suggestion that Donald resign and hand the reins over to Vice-President (sic) Mike Pence for the last few days. Reportedly, Trump doesn’t believe Pence will do for him what Gerald Ford did for Nixon. In case you’re a Republican, Ford was Nixon’s vice-president and after Nixon resigned, Ford pardoned Nixon.

And why wouldn’t Mike Pence pardon Donald Trump after Trump sent an angry mob chanting “Hang Mike Pence” to the capitol building where Pence was at the time. Pence is a Christian-type dude. He can forgive and forget, right? He can forget that Trump told the mob to be unhappy with him. He can forget that Trump tweeted bad things about him, further riling up the mob. He can forget that the mob looking to hang him also brought a noose. He can forget that during the riot, instead of calling to check on him, Trump called conspiratorial senators to further discuss how to steal the election. He can forget that instead of checking on him, Trump made a video telling the terrorists that they’re “patriots” and he “loved them.” For the past four years, Pence has been giving all his Mikey love to Trump and now, Trump has used Pence for all he could get out of him and forgotten his name as if he was a Moscow hooker.

Also, if Trump resigns it’ll fuck up all the ’46’ merchandise people have bought from the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris website.

Now, instead of presidenting, Trump is wallowing in self pity, dreading the future without presidential helicopters, pageantry, and with loan sharks banging on his doors at Mar-a-Lago where the address is 1100 S Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach, FL 33480.

But Trump is a busy guy in his last few days and he doesn’t need the distraction of being compared to Richard Nixon who was not impeached even once, less enough twice and who had won both of his elections, winning the popular vote each time. Donald is busy not paying Rudy Giuliani’s legal fees, thinking about which goons to pardon, including himself, and stealing everything he can out of the White House. What? The Resolute Desk? I brought that with me.

Biden’s going to walk into the White House and the only thing left will be Hillary Clinton’s portrait.

Donald also is hankering to have a large crowd at either his send-off from Washington or at Mar-a-Lago to greet him. It’ll be his last presidential flight and, you’re gonna love this, he had to get permission to use it from Joe Biden. That couldn’t have helped his mood any. And seeing all the Biden/Harris signs outside the White House window for Wednesday’s inauguration probably hasn’t put a pep in his step either.

And, since he won’t be at the inauguration, there will be two nuclear footballs on Wednesday. The device to enter the codes weighs over 40 pounds and is carted everywhere the president goes. One will fly with Trump to Florida. The president keeps a card with the code on him at all times. Trump’s code won’t work after noon this Wednesday, but it will still be covered in McDonald’s secret sauce. Let’s hope he doesn’t try it to see if it still works. Actually, I hope his code has always been a ruse throughout his four years.

Now, Trump gets to spend his remaining days like Nixon. Living on a beach, planning a presidential library nobody will want to go to, lying about his legacy, and trying to figure out just what is in that McDonald’s secret sauce. But the comparisons aren’t really fair.

Sure, both guys were racist. Sure, both guys were corrupt. But Nixon never sent angry mobs of white nationalists wearing “Camp Auschwitz” T-shirts to Capitol Hill with pipe bombs, zip ties, Molotov cocktails to kill his vice-president and the Speaker of the House while waving Confederate flags and pooping in the hallways. Also, Nixon never openly talked about banging his daughter.

That’s why Nixon’s in Heaven in this cartoon. Yeah, I know I’m going to hear a lot about that. But I figure I’ll end the comparisons there between Richard Nixon and Donald Trump, because Donald Trump is not going to Heaven.

And hopefully, his remaining days here on Earth will be a living Hell.

Second only to BIPOC, on whom the COVID virus and lack of access to healthcare had* a major impact, it seems logical that Trump followers would have been more likely contract COVID and die from it. If only they couldn't spread the infection to others.

"Defender of Perverts"

Quote

Ted Cruz, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, what is it with MAGAt Republicans and punchable faces?

I made a post on social media this week that I turned into this cartoon. After receiving over 300 reactions, I thought, “Why not?”.

Congressman Jim Jordan, who is one of Trump’s biggest henchmen in Congress, who claims he never knew about wrestlers he coached being sexually abused, who voted against impeaching Trump both times, and may be his defense attorney when the Senate trial begins, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom last week.

After watching the medal go to people like Jordan and Rush Limbaugh, I truly hope Joe Biden can restore the integrity to it. Just like Trump’s court nominees, every one of his recipients will have an asterisk next to it.

As for Gym Jordan, he’s real good at ignoring the bad guys, whether it’s Donald Trump molesting the nation or MAGA terrorists sent by Trump to molest the capitol building. Jordan should be counsel for Trump, because he’s a friend to perverts.
