When The Twitter Hits the Fan

He is A Shitty Prez After All

August 31, 2018

I do believe that is a fan I see a little way off in the distance.  And, if I am not mistaken, there appears to be a malodorous brownish substance poised to make contact with the fan.  It is quite a large fan, but the brown mass hurtling toward it appears much larger.  I hope I am far enough away from all of this that I will not end up covered with whatever that brown mass is, when it ultimately strikes the whirring blades.  I can also make out a familiar looking figure very close to the fan.  What looks like orange spaghetti is being blown almost off the rotund fellow’s bloated head.  It seems certain that this unfortunate creature is about to take the brunt of the blow-back.  I assume he is there, in the wrong place at the wrong time, for a good reason.  He looks defiant and laughing and appears to be tweeting something.

Others, including those who shamefully continue to enable Chrump’s increasingly frightening behavior, are also aware that trouble’s a comin’.  While trying desperately to keep their distance from the fan of destiny, they took a few minutes to create a list of investigations into their Dear Leader and his criminal cadre, which they dread will commence if the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives, and dare I say the Senate, in November.

Republican'ts Wish-You-Wouldn't List

Unfortunately, though the man at the fan deserves every speck of ejectamenta about to engulf him, none of us will escape our role as collateral damage.  To wit, a California man upset about The Boston Globe’s coordinated editorial response to Der Furor’s attacks on the news media was arrested yesterday for threatening to travel to the newspaper’s offices and kill journalists, whom he called the “enemy of the people.”  I (don’t) wonder where he came up with that turn of phrase.

Further evidence of the feces/fan fest comes from recent polling.  A new Washington Post-ABC News poll found that Chrump's disapproval rating has reached a record high, with 60 percent of Americans disapproving of Chrump's performance as president; only 36 percent approve of the job he is doing. More Americans believe that Congress should start proceedings that might ultimately lead to Chrump's removal from office by 49 to 46 percent. Additionally, special counsel Robert Mueller is polling better than his prey.  Fifty-three percent believe that Chrump's efforts to interfere with Mueller’s investigation is obstruction of justice, while only 35 percent disagree.  I am starting to feel sorry for the poor guy.  Totally kidding. Lock him up.

He loves orange, so what’s the big deal?
