The Gratingest Show on Earth

More Fun Than a Barrel Full of Junkies

August 5, 2018

I thought the days of the circus were over when Ringling Bros., et al folded up their tents and skulked out of town.  After decades of torturing elephants and parents, they finally took their three rings and stored them where the sun don’t shine.  Unfortunately, a new circus assaults our senses every minute of every day – The Ding-a-ling Bros. and Grabbin’-‘em Daily Circus.  P.T. Barnum famously said, “There's a sucker born every minute.”  Actually, this was said about him, not by him.  Nevertheless, our current circus proves this old saw beyond a shadow of a doubt.

This is a different kind of circus.  Oh sure, they still have elephants, but not the kind you would ever want your kids to be near or see.  These are some angry assed elephants, and not because they were incredibly intelligent creatures forced to work in deplorable conditions, while being mistreated by trainers and the like.  The elephants in the new circus did not need any help becoming angry.  They were vicious and deplorable all on their own, and there is no training these particular beasts.  They have been on a rampage since, well, since their species emerged from the primordial darkness.  They have just gotten angrier, more vicious and more deplorable with each passing election cycle.

There are clowns too, in this new circus, countless clowns, terrifying clowns that would scare the crap out of Stephen King – particularly The Ding-a-ling Bros. themselves.

Ball of Collusion

Dan Coats, the Director of National Intelligence does not know, almost three weeks later, what his braindead boss discussed with Vladimir Putin, Chrump’s mentor and benefactor.  According to the reliable sources in my head, Chrump himself has only vague recollections of that two-plus-hour private exchange, and those recollections pertain only to his own “hair.”  Did Putin make pee-pee on Chrump’s chair?  Or were the translators forced to perform the task?  Was a mattress made available for that purpose?  Was it the mattress from the original pee tape?  Only four people know what went on in that room.  The only thing we do know is that Putin sported a huge shit-eating grin when it was over.  Chrump, for his part, had something else to wipe off his face.

Some may call all of this FAKE NEWS, or a Witch Hunt, or a Hoax, or a Witch Hoax, or even a Hoax Hunt, or perhaps an Orange Herring.  For now, I will call it The Ding-a-ling Bros. and Grabbin’-‘em Daily Circus.

John Wayne Gacy was better entertainment than these clowns.
