...the republic is under siege by a moron, basically. The whole thing is tragic. Without overstating it, it's a tragedy for our democracy ~ Bruce Springsteen. From a Rolling Stone interview, 9/23/2017.
An image linked to from the blog Who's Your Daddy. Ted Nugent, Kid Rock and Sarah Palin in the White House makes me want to puke. Not to mention who is sitting in the Oval Office chair! (4/19/2017).
Can you believe that one of these people was almost our vice president? Scary to think that someone that dumb got that close to being president. I mean, if John McCain had died in office. And, if McCain had served 2 terms, she could would have run and be potus 45 right now.
Instead we got the male version of Sarah Palin. Intelligence-wise, I mean. Actually, he might be even dumber. Donald Trump is a moron. Born on 3rd base and he thinks he hit a homer. When you start out with hundreds of millions it makes it that much harder to fail. Although Trump knows how to game the system and make it appear as though he isn't a failed businessman.
I refer to his multiple bankruptcies. Something Trump is proud of; saying "I'm the king of debt". The United States can't file for bankruptcy, so this skill might turn out to be dangerous in a president. Of course many people would point out that the national debt increased under Barack Obama. But he did pull us out of a recession, and that was while being blocked by Republicans at every turn.
They blamed him for the bush recession and then for increasing the national debt to pay for a stimulus to avert a depression. Now that the Orange buffoon is in charge, a massive tax cut that will primarily benefit the wealthy and corporations seems probable. I mean, some kind of tax cut is probably going to happen, it's only a question of how budget-busting it is.
The Urban-Brookings Tax Center says "the cost of the cuts Mr. Trump proposed during the campaign at $6.2 trillion, assuming no additional growth, and just under $6 trillion when growth is factored in" (Economists Fear Trump's Tax Plan Only Heightens a Mountain of Debt).
Of course we know it will hurt the middle and lower classes, as Trump goes after the programs that benefits/helps these people in his ridiculous budget.
Apparently only Sarah Palin was originally invited and it was her idea to bring Ted and Kid. Palin says "Asked why I invited Kid Rock and Ted Nugent, I joked, Because Jesus was booked". Ha ha ha.
"I will never apologize for calling out evil people" Nuget said when asked if he regretted referring to President Obama as a "subhuman mongrel". Me, I don't think a man who threatened to kill President Obama should be allowed in the White House. It is Nugent who is evil.
Sarah Palin points and smirks at former 1st Lady HRC's portrait in the image above. Nugent gives a thumbs up, as if to say "you aren't president and I approve". Despite the fact that Palin was part of the ticket that ran for the White House and LOST. And Nugent saying he would die or go to jail if Barack Obama were elected to a 2nd term (due to him assassinating, or trying to assassinate President Barack Obama, I presume).
Kid Rock (AKA Robert Ritchie) worried (prior to Trump) that "Obummer" would ban guns. Of the 4 I'd say he's the one who offends me the least. Kid and Ted are non-politicians. Sarah is a failed politician. Donald is the one who is now in a position to do great damage to our country. And the most deplorable one (IMO) in the picture at the top of this post.
Yes, I want to see his agenda fail. Because his agenda will do great harm to our country. I'm not saying I want to see him impeached, because then we'd be stuck with either a president Pence (a huge homophobe) or president Ryan (an individual who hates poor people like his idol Ayn Rand).
But if the evidence shows Trump should be impeached or otherwise removed from office? Either because of collusion with Russia, violating the Constitution's emoluments clause, senility (and removal under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment), or for another reason? I say he should be ousted or forced to resign and let the chips fall where they may.
I agree with you, Kid Rock seems kinda harmless. Sorta like Lynyrd Skynyrd. What is really wrong with being a redneck? He doesn't seem very political. If someone told him that Obama would take away his guns, is he crazy for believing them? I don't believe at this point he is truly seeking office.
ReplyDeleteNugent is intelligent enough to know that he wouldn't stand a chance. People hate his guts.
That ridiculous comment, "Because Jesus was booked." is without a doubt the stupidest thing I have ever heard anybody publicly quoted.
Guys like Ted Nugent are what is the most wrong with America right now. Another symptom, just like the orange clown in the Oval Office. Nugent is truly deplorable. Sickening.
Palin? She's just socially stupid and irrelevant. She is one hell of an opportunist. She's not really smart enough to be accused of being a fascist. But because she has prostituted herself in the right-wing cause, she also gets a failing grade.
Palin was one hell of a short term marketing genius.Then she fizzled. Precisely because she lacks serious intelligence and depth.
ReplyDeleteAs for the rest? Yup, pretty much spot on.
