Just Another Day

Last week, in a stunning and futile attempt to pretend
something substantive is happening during his presidency, Chrump unveiled,
well, more like tweeted his brand spanking new, super-duper tax plan, which is
practically identical to every Republican’t tax plan you might remember. You
can literally write the entire document on the head of a pin…with a crayon. Why
a four-year-old child could easily understand this thing. Run out and get me a
four-year-old child, I can’t make head or tail out of it. But, seriously folks,
it is very serious tax policy…sorry, still kidding. It is pathetically simple.
It is as if a greedy child was advising the cabinet – almost as simple as the
minds that clearly threw this thing together, over the most beautiful chocolate
cake you have ever seen, at breakfast only hours before springing it on the
American public. It says: Give as much money as possible to the wealthiest
Americans and don’t make them pay taxes. How could that be bad?
The One Hundred Daze
Perhaps I have been a bit harsh on The Orange Gas Cloud. He
has signed many executive orders since swearing at the oath of office. He more executive
orders than any president except Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt, some may
remember, had to dig us out from the Great Depression. Chrump is trying to dig
us out of the recovery Barack Obama had to single-handedly attempt – since
Republican’ts obstructed him every step of the way – to save America from the
unequivocal disaster that was the Bush/Cheney administration.
Chrump has not even gotten within a mile of one single
constructive idea, let alone legislation since taking over. Kill Obamacare, deport countless Mexicans, ban Muslims, appoint a radical right-wing Supreme Court
Justice speak power to truth, repeal Obama's 2014 Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces order and
enable other means of attacking women’s rights, order bombing attacks over
dinner at the club to distract from the myriad investigations into his ties to
Russia, attack the environment, take credit for the accomplishments of others. Everything
Chrump has “accomplished” thus far in his alt-presidency is either an affront
to humanity or an affront to Mother Earth. Or both.
It will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone reading
this, that Chrump was not always a fan of executive orders.
Chrump literally blamed the Constitution’s provision for checks
and balances built in to US governance. “It’s a very rough system,” he said.
“It’s an archaic system … It’s really a bad thing for the country.” Yes, that
pesky, disastrous Constitution is ruining this country. Highly over-rated.
Worst constitution ever. Who the hell came up with that thing anyway? Many of
them are probably dead or hiding out in Argentina. I expect Chrump to come up
with some terrific to replace it. Very soon. Right after getting rid of
Obamacare. And the wall. And the war with North Korea. Right after that. Until
then, he will simply do as he pleases.
The Child-in-chief believes that he is president of his
base. Everyone else is a criminal for criticizing the Great and Powerful
Chrump. Too afraid to show his “face” at the White House Correspondents Dinner,
Chrump instead ran to the mindless, loving bosom of his most loyal fans, those
who literally would not bat an eye if, as Chrump said, "I could stand in
the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters.” His
latest delusion/lie is that in his first 100 days, his administration has
brought “profound change” to Washington. He certainly has changed how we deal
with murderous dictators by kvelling over them and showing them the respect
neither he nor they deserve.
World leaders are awesome.
