The Chrump (D)effect

The Civility War

November 8, 2018

As the dust settles on the historic midterm that resulted in a House of Representatives with the largest number of women ever, we can finally take some comfort that Donald Chrump will have to answer actual questions of the American public.  That would be the same American public that preferred Chrump’s opponent by over three million votes, but alas, was thwarted in their victory by the slave-era institution known as the Electoral College.

Unfortunately, we must remain vigilant and white-knuckled until the 116^th Congress is sworn in on January 20, 2019 and the lame duck 115^th, one of the lamest Congresses ever, gets shown the door.  Between now and then Chrump will become even more outrageous and authoritarian, as many forces coalesce to bring him face-to-face with justice, reality and with any luck, a fate worse than death.  He may yet shoot someone on Fifth Avenue.

Also, after Chrump’s most recent drubbing at the polls (more women are entering Congress as we speak), White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley said, “Let’s have a debate about ideas.  Let’s not have a debate about who could send out the nastiest rhetoric.”  Did this imbecile just come out of a coma?

First of all – fck you Hogan Gidley.  Second of all – fck your boss, the king of incivility.  Maybe when Chrump can go for more than 30 seconds without sliming anyone, maybe then we will consider becoming more civil.  Calling a racist a racist does not fall under the heading of uncivil.  That is called telling it like it is.  I know honesty is not something valued, or even recognized, by your boss, but just because the truth makes him – of all people – uncomfortable, does not make it uncivil.  So, take your phony plea for more civil discourse and if you will pardon the expression, and even if you will not, shove it up your ass.

During his post-midterm feces-flinging tantrum/press conference, among all the self-pity, blaming others and general whining, Chrump tripled down on his attacks on the press.  At one point he called CNN’s Jim Acosta a “rude, terrible person” (as always, Chrump was talking about himself) and then commanded an aide to take the microphone away from Acosta, who dared try to ask serious, pertinent questions of the Orange Gas Cloud.  Then, to add infraction to idiocy, the White House decided libel was the best medicine.  Sarah Slanders disseminated a video knowingly doctored to show Acosta assaulting the aid, who in reality had assaulted Acosta.  This White House knows no bounds when it comes to lying.  Or hate.  Or stupidity.  Or Acosta was subsequently stripped of his White House press credentials.  Do actual fascist actions count as fascist tendencies?

Stay tuned for more hijinks, chaos and daily disasters on this season of America’s Got Problems.

I. Mangrey recounting.  So much winning.
