The timing
could not have been better. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus,
self-described Greatest Show on Earth, closed its tent flaps after almost 100
years of entertaining the American public and torturing elephants. This circus
became obsolete once Chrumpy the Clown won the hearts and minds of the
Electoral College and moved into the White House. There is a new circus in
town. Though the Clown-in-chief is also fond of torturing elephants, these
metaphorical elephants (this does not include the actual elephants his namesake
enjoys murdering in cold blood for “sport”) deserve everything they get.
Republican’t chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Corker – an enthusiastic Chrump supporter during the campaign, and short-lister for Secretary of State (Chrump decided Corker was too short for the job – clearly a critical requirement for the post) and Vice President – has now gone on record as calling Chrump immature, mentally unstable and dangerous to national security. Corker said that due to Chrump’s erratic behavior, “we could be heading towards World War III.” Corker was able to summon up the incredible courage to confront the man he helped put in the White House only after he decided not to seek another term as senator. Very gutsy.
If only
there had been clues prior to the election, other than Chrump’s every single
word, tweet and action, to Chrump’s personality and demeanor, maybe we could
have avoided this scenario. But alas, Chrump seemed so calm and thoughtful
during his run for the presidency. Except for that one time when he called
Mexicans criminals and rapists…and every moment thereafter.
Just Goes to Show That in America,
Anyone Can Grow Up (Or Not) To Be President*
Chrump, a
narcissistic racist with fascist tendencies, has given us a “Presidency” of
Mass Destruction. Anyone who still works for this babbling bufoon, needs to
take a long look in the mirror. Some of them, I assume, are good people. Or
were. Serving such a master negates any humanity that might once have been. Chrump
might be a sociopathic clown, but he does have opposable thumbs – small though
they may be – and he has access to the nuclear football. We should well
remember that Chrump asked a foreign policy advisor three times in one hour why
he could not use nuclear weapons once he became president – or whatever we now
must call it. Orange Julius Caesar is quoted as asking, “If we have them, why
can't we use them? Why can't we use nuclear weapons?" We can only hope
that someone was able to show Chrump some pretty pictures that explained why
using nuclear weapons can be a bad thing. Then we must hope that they show him
these pictures on a daily basis, since he has the attention span of a carrot.
