The one big thing that stands out these days is that it is not simply about some having a different opinion from a different viewpoint. It is far more than that. It is quite literally the embrace of a more or less policy-free fantasy that is not anchored in reality.
Should we be surprised?
From beginning to end the Trump administration has been wall to wall lies that many have been conned into embracing as Truth. No, Trump’s inauguration crowd was not the biggest ever, and no, the Nov 2020 election was not stolen, he lost. He might be gone, but we now still live with the consequences of four years of the inept idiot-in-chief gaslighting an entire nation day after day.
Somebody mentioned that about a year ago they were in the kitchen cooking, touched something hot and screamed “For F***ks sake” or similar. Their four year old came running in and asked “What’s he done now?”.
Better days are truly ahead, but the challenges are considerable.
So what crazy things have bubbled to the surface during this past week?
You will find below a few examples that have popped up during the past week.
I’ve highlighted these so that we can laugh about it all. I find that really is the best response to this cult of fools.
The Cult of Trump
- Todd Coconato laments that former President Donald Trump was unable to steal the 2020 election because “our institutions systematically failed us one by one.”
- He really is truly pissed that the US is a democracy and not a dictatorship.
- Johnny Enlow Insists Trump Has Been Secretly ‘Ruling and Reigning’ as the True President
- Johnny Enlow is running a gullibility test for those that can be bothered to listen to him babbling.
Guns
- Marjorie Taylor Greene Hosts Gun Giveaway After Biden Calls on Congress to Pass Gun Reform Legislation
- Not just any gun, she is giving away an AR-15. What this is really all about is her promoting rather blatant lies that push hot buttons to get funding flowing in from the gun lobby.
COVID-19
- Shane Vaughn Says COVID-19 Stimulus Checks Are ‘An Offering’ From Trump
- Nope. The push for $2,000 stimulus checks was not, as Vaughn claimed, “Donald Trump’s idea”; it was a proposal pushed by Democrats that Trump only eventually embraced near the end of his term. Even then, the GOP pushed very hard against it all the way to the last day.
- Josh Bernstein declares that if anyone tries to forcibly require him to take the COVID-19 vaccine, they are going to get “an injection of lead.”
- Nobody, and I mean literally nobody, is going to force him or anybody else to take the vaccine. A successive wave of COVID-19 will most probably find him and others who refused it. “Lead” will not help when it comes calling on those who refused immunisation.
Bizarre
- Josh Bernstein (yes him again) is very offended by Cardi B. and Megan Thee Stallion’s song “WAP” because he claims to be someone who respects women.
- He made this claim while wearing a shirt that says “Kamala Harris Sucks.”
- Perry Stone is outraged about the existence of liquor stores in his town in Tennessee: “Bradley County was once a dry country, and we have over 300 churches, yet liquor was voted in, meaning many Christians voted for it to pass. These ‘Spirits’ stores are being built in every part of town; even the convenience stores are also full of this demon rum. We are building a city to make drunks feel at ease.”
- Nobody is forcing him to go into any liquor store, walking by really is an option.
- Actually, I think I’ll help by taking some of this “demon rum” captive to help save him.
- Shane Vaughn Attacks Meghan Markle as a ‘Jezebel’ and a ‘Narcissist’ … “posted a video on his YouTube channel Monday night in which he called Meghan Markle a “Jezebel” and a “narcissist” who is trying to destroy the British royal family.“
- I think the US had a little disagreement with the UK Royal Family back in 1776. Is he also pissed at all those involved in that as well for daring to not bow appropriately to the UK Royal Family?
- Pat Robertson declares that President Joe Biden has “senile dementia” and warns that the United States is now under the control of two women—Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi—which he says is a sign of God’s judgment on this nation.
- If it was true then the nation is in very good hands. Alas, it’s not true.
False Profit$
- Kat Kerr claims to know that indictments have been written up charging those who allegedly stole the election from Donald Trump with treason, insurrection, and conspiracy to overthrow the government.
- Kat Kerr is quite determined to maintain her track record of being consistently wrong about everything. So far that’s going OK despite some very stiff GQP competition.
- Robin Bullock Claims ‘Prophets’ Have the Power to Call Trump Back Into the White House
- Bullock is truly gifted at dropping lots of Bullshit, it comes naturally. (least you wonder, yes, his name is indeed derived from the Anglo-Saxon “bulluca”, meaning a young bull). It is just too symbolic to ignore.
- Let’s not become distracted and forget that he guaranteed as a self-appointed Prophet of God that Trump would win the 2020 election
- Johnny Enlow Says Trump Is Sitting in ‘The Presidency Seat in Heaven’
- Yes, yet another fool who, as a self-appointed Prophet of God, guaranteed that Trump would win the 2020 election. This is his way of trying to wiggle out of that in-your-face failure.
- “Prophetess” Amanda Grace claims that God allowed Donald Trump to lose the 2020 election so that Trump would have the private time necessary “for the Lord to really reveal himself to President Trump.”
Fools of the Week – The Trump Fan Club
Let’s end on a happy note.
The beloved messiah really is in very deep legal trouble. His desire to remain in office was to duck all this, but nope, no get-out-of-jail-free card this time. It turns out that he’s not the messiah, he’s just a very naughty boy. (Hat tip to those that recognise the reference – if you don’t, then see here).
Via this link you will find a comprehensive list of what is in the legal pipeline.
He faces not only rather a lot of civil cases, but also many criminal charges.
John Dean, who has a lot of experience in this area, suggests that Trump is most probably days away from indictment …
More thoughts by Dean on what is probably coming can be found via an interview here …
“What they’re doing can be a couple of things,” said Dean. “One is the prosecutors are trying to get familiar with the witness. More likely in this instance, because of the treasure trove of information they obtained evidence from a subpoena, is to get guidance and insight into what some of those documents mean, give them more people who might know about various affairs that are revealed by the documents.
“An insider, as I once was, can give insights that prosecutors can’t otherwise get. You’re not going to do this to find exculpatory evidence at this point. They are narrowing the case to see what they will bring against the president and possibly his family.”
At the same time, Trump is under investigation for his calls to Georgia state officials in which he tried to intimidate them into finding votes for his lost cause. Recordings of those calls were made public in the USA on Wednesday.
Dean was reminded of his Watergate days: “It’s a little reminiscent of Nixon leaning on people, in my memory bank, where he knows how far to go but not too far, particularly when he’s on the phone and he knows he’s being recorded on some of those conversations.
“Trump doesn’t know he’s being recorded in this instance. And one of the telling things to me is the fact that these people were recording these calls. As I recall, it was in November, late November that Lindsey Graham denied that he’d had the conversations he’d had with the secretary of state in Georgia who had, in essence, said he called and told them to throw out ballots, and Graham denied that. After that, they started recording the calls. We don’t know how many calls.”
Dean suggested that the Georgia prosecutors may look at so-called RICO racketeering charges for Trump: “RICO cases are very serious. I think that’s the case they’re building. These phone calls that they have multiple records of now are going to be dynamite.”
In the end, actions really do have consequences.
