Summary:  Another bad day for humanity.

Today, it's all about Donald Trump.  Let me begin with a chilling satire:

Donald Trump's best buddies are Vladimir Putin, Kim Jung-un and Xi Jinping.  You know what they have in common?  They are all presidents for life.

Trump is just deranged, delusioned and dippy enough that it is becoming clear his obvious strategy is to use the Department of Defense and Attorney General (those are Esper and Barr protecting Trump on their walk to St. John's) to delay the November 3 election forever.  No vote, then no need to change the presidency.  I'm sure they must realize, though, that come 21January2021, if there is no election, Nancy Pelosi automatically becomes President!


What about Biden and Harris?  He simply arrests them, just like Putin does to his rivals.  For what reason?  Does not matter.

What about the COVID-19 pandemic?  It will just go away, and certainly by next year when a vaccine is developed because of his Operation Warp Speed.


Won't the economy worsen?  He just prints money and, in time, renege on all those loans to drop the national debt to zero.

But won't the Democrats complain?  They always do.

Surely Congress will check him, for that is why we have our system of government.  No problem, they'll stalemate on everything.

Who will support him?  His coterie of sycophants, hard core supporters and National Rifle Association.

But won't the masses protest?  Sure. But he has the Department of Defense to keep them in check.  Voices can't fight off tanks and nuclear weapons.

Won't someone come to our rescue?  First, he's alienated our allies.  The United Nations is toothless and, with China, Russia and North Korea, they will rule the world.

Can you imagine life on Planet Earth, with his global warming druthers, and grip on power with his buddies?  I should write a book.  Better yet, Netflix can produce a series.

So what's the punchline?  That's it.  I'll close with a few more items of interest. 

Michael Cohen, Trump's fixing attorney, that rat, according to our President, released the forward to his new book, which can now be ordered:  DISLOYAL.  Costs $32.50.  I wonder if someone will send me an electronic couple before September 8, when the book will be available?

I've already read the Forward.  Apropos to the subject matter of this posting, here is a quote:

In these dangerous days, I see the Republican party and Trump’s followers threatening the constitution – which is in far greater peril than is commonly understood – and following one of the worst impulses of humankind: the desire for power at all costs.

Here is a clip from Washington's Post's Fact Checker, commenting on their contention that President Donald Trump has made more than 20,000 false or misleading claims since the beginning of his term.  Plus, did you see Huffington Post's White House correspondent, S.V. Date (above), asking the President during Thursday's coronavirus task force briefing if, after 3.5 years:  do you regret at all the lying you've done to the American people?  All dishonesties?  Just the look on Trump's face was priceless.  Click on those links to enjoy this instantaneous great moment in American history.

Plus, a few more Trumpisms:
