Three Uneasy Pieces…

To Get Off My Chest, And Onto Yours
February 11, 2019
Money For Nothing
Many people, including a number of investigators, are wondering where all those millions of dollars for the Chrump carnage inauguration went.  More money was raised for poorly attended event, than for any other inauguration in recent memory. Over six million dollars went toward unused rooms in Chrump Tower.  As you may know, staying in a room at Chrump’s crappy hotels is much cheaper than not staying in a room at Chrump’s crappy hotels.  The reason for confusion is simple – each person in the very, very small crowd was paid large sums of money.  And in an amazing irony, Chrump had to sign non-disclosure agreements promising each and every not to divulge that they were present.
Someone should check the pockets of the Thief-in-chief.  This entire charade was, after all, nothing more than his latest con job aimed at lining the giant pockets of his ill-fitting pants.
Men In Blackface
To the surprise of few, it came to our attention that two top officials – the governor and attorney general – in the great state of Virginia, were discovered to have dabbled in dabbing on a bit of black shoe polish onto inappropriate parts of their bodies.  Not, mind you, that there are in truth any appropriate places on the human body to apply black (or any other color for that matter) shoe polish, but these poor slobs managed to slather it onto their very white faces.  Purposely.
The first of these to be exposed was the newly elected governor Ralph Northam, who had a picture of a man (possibly him) in blackface shoulder-to-shoulder with another (possibly him) in full KKK garb.  But that was way back in 1984 – not Orwell’s, but the real one.  As cries for his resignation rose from all quarters, Northam, who has by all accounts lived a completely non-racist-idiot life since that time, refused to step aside.  He continues to budge as of this writing.
Northam did apologize for being one of the poorly attired assholes (he was not sure which one) in the picture on his personal medical school yearbook page…at first.  The next day he decided, upon further reflection, that probably neither of the racist morons in the picture was him.  He said he must have confused this a different time when he was in blackface.  Whew, that was a close one.
Northam let loose with this during an interview with Gayle King on Sunday morning:
Gov. Ralph Northam: Well it has been a difficult week. And you know if you look at Virginia's history we are now at the 400 year anniversary, just 90 miles from here in 1619. The first indentured servants from Africa landed on our shores in Old Point Comfort what we call now Fort Monroe and while--
Gayle King: Also known as slavery.
Yeah, slavery, that’s the word he was not looking for.  Indentured servants?  Who does this idiot think he is, Ben Carson?  Oops, my bad, Carson never referred to slaves as indentured servants. Carson said during his first week as Secretary of Housing and Urban Dismemberment…
“That’s what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity. There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters, might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.”
Best fcking people.  One cannot help but wonder – is Ben Carson in blackface?
It is the opinion of this reporter that Mr. Northam – a public, though not indentured, servant – should be required to remain in blackface until such time as he leaves office.  And he should apologize each and every day until that time…at least.
Man In Shitface
Not to be out-racist-ed, Donald Chrump, who is enamored of the genocidal racist Andrew Jackson, used some of his unending executive time to reiterate just what an unrepentant schmuck he is via his preferred method of “communication.”  Just as there is no good time to engage in blackface, there is no good time to parody Jackson’s Trail of Tears.  Not even by a man pretending to be president.
Chrump, consistently ignorant, abusive and shitty,
destroying America with his Trail of Smears
 
Wait, you ask, isn’t the guy in the White House a current racist and credibly accused of sexual assault by over a dozen women?  Democrats are panicked and demanding that all of their tainted colleagues step aside.  No one is calling on Chrump to take responsibility for anything.  It kind of makes you wonder.  It kind of makes me nauseous and crazy, and…
I. Mangrey reporting.  To see or not to see, that is the question.

Oh, and there’s this gem from Will Bunch at the Philadelphia Inquirer:
