Chrumpier Than Thou

El Chrumpo Extradited to White House Against Wishes of Most Americans

January 24, 2017
I cannot recall either hearing or hearing of an American president issuing a “decree.” That is precisely what I heard from the 45th president the other day. Hair Chrump issued a decree. He used that word. It was childish and meaningless, and he probably does not know what a decree is, but a decree it was. He thinks he is the king. Making decrees. Other than his (first?) decree, his administration is off to a running start: making affordable housing less affordable, erring on the side of voter suppression in Texas, scrubbing the White House website of any mention of climate change, civil rights and healthcare, mortally wounding the Affordable Care Act. Now Der Furor has closed the White House switchboard comments line. A man of the people. Just not any people you know. Chrump retroactively issued a proclamation declaring January 20, 2017 a National Day of Patriotic Devotion because, "A new national pride [It is easy to understand how Chrump would mistake panic for pride.] stirs the American soul and inspires the American heart. We are one people, [Wrong] united by a common destiny and a shared purpose." Wrong. SAD!
Do Not Forget the Cabinet of Doom
While J. Beauregard Sessions was hiding under a table somewhere to avoid facing John Lewis’s testimony against Sessions’ appointment as Contemptable Attorney General another hearing was going on for Contemptable Secretary of State. One of the wealthiest and arguably the most heinous corporations on the planet – the folks who brought you severely doctored research on global climate change back in the 1970s, the folks who brought you Valdez, Alaska (did you think we forgot that you filthy murdering bastards?) – whose CEO has been tapped by Chrump as Secretary of State, under whose leadership his company violated trade embargos with Iran (did I say IRAN? (yes I believe I did)), and which owns almost five times more oil-soaked real estate in Russia than it does in the United States (remember the United States?) but cannot drill any oil on thanks to sanctions, is poised to have its CEO become the one person in the United States who can, ensure these sanctions are rescinded? That company is Exxon and its shameless Putin-loving, Earth-killing CEO is Rex Tillerson, whose sole purpose in life since he was 23 years old was the addition of commas and zeros to his beloved company’s (and his own) bottom line to exclusion of any other earthly consideration. I am as certain as I can be regarding this man’s allegiances as he commits perjury regarding Exxon’s provable lobbying of Congress during the hearing to approve his nomination. After all, he is the CEO of the company, what possible motivation could he have to use the second most powerful position in the “government” to help Exxon at the expense of nation? 
Nobody has to tell Americans to go f*#k themselves…we did it voluntarily
How many billionaires can dance on the heads of the poor?
Chrump crowed about having a cabinet with “by far the highest IQ of any Cabinet ever assembled.” Naturally Chrump has no idea what the IQ scores of his or any other cabinet ever assembled might or might not be. It is likely that Chrump equates dollars with IQ points. He probably does have the wealthiest cabinet ever dissembled. Combined (there are 17 of them) they have greater wealth than one third of actual everyday Americans, you know the kind of people that voted for Chrump because he was just plain folk, fighting for the little guy and draining the swamp. Did you not get the memo? Chrump like any good fascist, tries to hide behind claims he is a man of the people. He does not know any people. Spending all of his time with his family and other sycophants, Chrump would not know actual people if they bit him the leg.
The Chrump administration looks to be flush with billionaires - with or without an IQ. After all, who understands the needs and feelings of the average Joe better than those who have spent years stepping on, over and past him with nary a glance?
Steven Mnuchin (Goldman Sachs) Net Worth: At least $166 million and as much as $500 million
Secretary of Commerce: Wilbur Ross Jr. Net Worth: around $2.5 billion
Secretary of Labor: Andrew Puzder (fast food CEO)Net Worth: $45 million
Secretary of State: Rex Tillerson (EXXON CEO) Net Worth: $325 million, including $240 million in Exxon stock.
Secretary of Education: Betsy DeVos (heiress) Net Worth: $1.25 billion, with family wealth adding up to $3.85 billion more. She’s currently a member of three yacht clubs, three golf clubs, and one “premier private business and social club.”
Chrump’s cabinet so far – there are still two openings – is worth an estimated $4.5 billion, 60% higher than the combined wealth of Barack Obama’s current cabinet. Democracy Now estimates Chrump’s cabinet’s worth at $11 billion.
Chrump himself claims to be a billionaire. There is absolutely no proof of this. Given his propensity (to say the least) deal in alternative facts we can be certain he is using his own special facts. And you can’t have them. No facts for you!
Fun Non-Alternative Fact: Despite Chrump’s constant slamming of his opponents for palling around with Goldman Sachs, and now much to no one's surprise, he has five people from Goldman Sachs in high places in his administration.
Take that swamp!
