Das Konig Trumpf, aka the Orange King marches on - unbelievable!

On Sunday’s  March 29^th press briefing journalist Yamiche Alcindor, of PBS,  asked King Trumpf about his statement that governors are asking for things that they don’t need. King Trumpf interrupted: “I didn’t say that.”

“You said it on Sean Hannity’s Fox News,” Alcindor replied.

“Why don’t you act in—a little more positive?” Das Konig asked. And then he continued: “Look, let me tell you something: be nice. Don’t be threatening.” He kept trying to shut her up and of course never answered her question. 

Ooooh - soooo presidential!

Das Trumpf wants governors, and reporters, to butter  him up, (kneeling comes next) if they want his help. .On Friday, March 27,  he said  governors don’t deserve his attention if they aren’t “appreciative” (“If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call”). He stated that he told Half Pence not to call Gov. Jay Inslee, of Washington or Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; he called Whitmer  “the woman in Michigan.”  CNN’s Jeremy Diamond asked him about these ‘governor’ statements, and was attacked, with King Trumpf’s usual refrain about CNN reporting “fake news.” The King explained he was only demanding gratitude for his entire team, not just for himself……(ho ho ho) “I want them to appreciate the incredible job we’re doing.”

I’m so terrified that the King and his minions will find a way to mess up the November elections. Das Konig is nervous about reelection I’m sure and the provisions to safeguard voting the Democrats tried to attach to the stimulus bill evoked more tantrums via tweeting. He was extremely pissed about the Dems asking for more polling locations, allow mail-in voting, etc.  King Trumpf believes that making sure people can vote is “crazy.” The King said if we took these safeguard steps (which means providing adequate funding), “you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”    

Wow – does that mean we wouldn’t be able to enjoy centuries of Cornyn, Graham, McConnell ruling the land, lining their pockets?

And the final Covid-19 straw: my state’s idiot Lt. Governor Dan Patrick  said that the elderly should be willing to die to help the economy.

But why does that surprise me? Ageism is  pervasive in the U.S. Getting older is apparently not on anyone’s agenda – until they’ve arrived.

Three Blind Rats: Mootch McConnell, Mini-Mnuchin and the Orange King

Mootch McConnell’s complaining about Democrats holding back aid during the pandemic – how low can he go? He gets his Russian Oligarch buddies to make sure a Russian owned aluminum plant opens in Kentucky – and of course to contribute to his election PAC; he also rakes in money via his Transportation Secretary wife and her fat cat family in China and then - when he has a chance to do something worthwhile -  takes the weekend off (dismissing his followers) just when the Dems. had a pandemic economic plan ready to consider.

He returns and has a temper tantrum because the Dems. don’t like his ideas: his version of a bill includes a slush fund for the Orange King and his mini-Mnuchin to share with their major corporate friends. This of course includes buddies who hang out at Mar-a-Lago and top GOP fundraisers. And let’s not forget to bail out the poor corporations who register their businesses outside this country to avoid paying taxes – like all the cruise lines, pharmaceutical companies and more. Just think - they don't pay taxes here but when times are tough - guess what - they come crying  to the King: HELP US!

And the people who really need help? No jobs, no food on the table, no money for home payments and no money for health care? The Orange King does not deal with anyone who can’t line his pockets!

Every now and then I'm subjected to a clip or two of the Orange King's utterances - "really great, incredible, I'm smart",  but even with his limited vocabulary - enough words come spitting out - serving mainly  as an emetic. 

Science, Orange King Style - upstaged by architect Melania!

In case you missed this unbelievable comment from the Orange King's press conference on Friday, March 6, 2020 (Atlanta CDC - with lots of scientists hanging around)

The King, talking about the country's Corona virus fears, reminded the audience he really was smart - since he was related to an uncle who taught "science" at MIT - and then said:  “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done this instead of running for President.”

There is absolutely no comment I can make that would do justice to the insanity of his statement!

****Flash! People killed by a tornado in Tennessee, Deaths from Covid-19 virus here and abroad, world is shuddering as the pandemic expands and guess what Queen Melania and her PR lackey Grisham are up to: promoting the ongoing construction of a tennis pavilion, (for benefit of visiting - or resident tennis players who, alas have had to use the courts in the past with no place to hang out afterwards?). The pavilion reflects a neoclassical style to match her subsidized home.

(Maybe we should call it Roman Nero  style –  fiddling while we burn!)

Still can't digest what's going on in the White House Kingdom..........how high can we go on the stupidity barometer?

Wishful thinking - how about Joe Biden choosing Rep. Veronica Escobar as his running mate?  El Paso's Ms. Escobar has great record serving public......

Just heard that a woman who had been working as press secretary for Wash Your Hands and Repent Half Pence recently married our Immigration Minister of Deportation, Herr Stephen Miller.

Note our minister's resemblance to Herr Goebbels: 

  

But - not all  immigrants get the Miller treatment:
