Dumb and Gloom

One Man’s Reality is Another Man’s Psychotic Journey Into Armageddon

I can see Armageddon from here
March 12, 2017

Reality TV producer Michael Hirschorn says, “There is a kind of psychosis common to many reality stars, where they lose a grasp on the distinciton between “reality” and reality.” And what does this say about the millions of people and so much of corporate media who put this mentally deficient dimwit in the White House? Chrump did not do this by himself. Hirschorn also stated, “There is an almost precise match between how Trump has governed and Trump as a host of the Apprentice. So it's interesting that both his campaign and his Presidency have actually tracked very closely to the persona that was created by the producers of The Apprentice.” What I gather from this is that Chrump was at least well on his way to psychosis before The Apprentice, and was able to have his persona created by television producers to the point where he had neither desire nor ability to revert back to whatever bullshit persona he had prior to that time.

While I am on the subject of reality (if that is still a thing), Chrump is pushing for what he calls “a historic increase I defense spending” (this of course is not true, but the intent is clear) while he and the Republican’ts prepare to sow and reap the only thing they ever care about – tax cuts for the rich. They tell us that the tax cuts pay for themselves by increasing revenue – the same way you increase your annual income by taking an expensive month-long vacation. So where will the billions of dollars ($54B for defense) come from to pay for expanding our poor, pitiful military? I shudder to think. No doubt they will only cut the least important programs like school lunches for poor children, environmental protection, Medicaid, voting integrity, food and drug safety, roads, bridges, dams and all that nonsense. You will not even notice anything is missing. Believe me.

Money Martyrs

Speaking of money, Chrump screamed endlessly about how much money the vacation-happy Obama was costing the tax payers.

 

According to one source, Obama’s vacationing cost American taxpayers $96M over eight years. Chrump has already rung up over $10M in his first month. I guess that since Obama got the unemployment rate down below 5%, it is accepable for a “president” to blow millions on having his wife live in New York City, weekly golf outings in Florida, and taking more time off than on. Now don’t get me wrong, I would prefer Chrump stay on vacation right up until he quits or gets impeached. Unfortunately, he already has his team of racists, fascists, banksters and corporate whores in place, and they will not be required to leave with him. Stay or leave, we will have to endure, and only with an ocean of luck, survive the Chrump months or years.

Donald Chrump Jr. told a real estate conference in 2008 that “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.” Post-bankruptcy, Chrump has been heavily reliant on Russian money, most of which has become increasingly concentrated among oligarchs and sub-garchs close to Vladimir Putin. The older Donald insists, “I did not have financial relations with that country. It depends on what your definition of ‘not’ is.” Maybe dad and junior should talk more often.
