Boxing, ‘Moonies’ and Firefighter Selfies: Trump’s Strange 9/11 of One excerpt: "Earlier that morning, Americans woke up to the image of three presidents standing side by side at the National 9/11 Memorial in New York City, dressed in black or navy blue, left hand on their hearts. Donald and Melania Trump were not there. As he had during his successor’s inauguration, breaking with tradition by skipping the ceremony to fly to Mar-a-Lago, Trump spent Saturday in a peculiar bubble, pursuing his own interests in a series of semi-public appearances, some of them money-making. Nothing would have prevented him from being the fourth president at the New York memorial or traveling to Shanksville, Pa. — deep in the heart of Trump Country — where President George W. Bush spoke about healing the nation’s internal divisions. Instead, Trump appeared via taped video at a conference of the Unification Church, better known as the “Moonies cult,” and made a visit to a fire and police station in New York, where he began his opening remarks by criticizing Joe Biden for “fleeing” Afghanistan, repeating the lie that the election was “rigged,” and suggesting very strongly that he will run for president in 2024. “I think you’re going to be very happy,” Trump told police officers that morning. “Let me put it that way, OK? I think you’re gonna be very happy.” By nightfall, he was at a South Florida casino delivering several hours of commentary on four boxing matches for Triller Fight Club in an “alternate telecast” available for $49.99 to pay-per-view ticket-holders. It was, in his son’s words, “a bit of levity on a somber day.” The entire day was a rolling “alternate telecast,” a parallel reality of Trump’s own devising — his own strange vacuum, designed to entertain, or outrage, in which he was free to lace every appearance with a self-serving narrative, unencumbered by traditions of nonpartisanship, or the presence of unwelcome rivals."
Part of this lesson in Professional Wrestling is brought to you buy CIA Productions. Democrats and the CIA would appreciate all of our conservative judges that they put in office, face the damned idiots who attempted to ruin our country. Call it a "Family Affair" but, this gets ugly and personal, and the judges are learning the hard way, just how stupid these people are, and slowly coming to the realization, they've promoted their own insanity. Basically, half the damned country is suddenly finding themselves searching for what little is left of their souls. Fox News worships Mammon, but so does most of the country.
The recall election isn't rigged. The general hands-off approach to the coronavirus of Trump and the GOP hasn't worked. It's difficult to blame the governor of CA for not going along with their approach when states like FL and TX are currently being decimated by the virus. With Newsom poised to win California recall, another indication COVID politics may be starting to favor Democrats over Republicans excerpt: "LOS ANGELES — With polls now showing Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom ahead by double-digit margins on the eve of California’s much-hyped recall election, voters here seem ready to reject the laissez-faire COVID-19 policies that have failed to contain huge summer surges in Republican-led states such as Florida — and vindicate the Golden State’s more careful approach to the hypercontagious Delta variant. Their verdict could have national implications for both Democrats and Republicans heading into the 2022 midterm elections. “No Republican running for governor could possibly have defeated Gavin Newsom in the recall election, but COVID could have,” Dan Schnur, a former spokesman for Republican former California Gov. Pete Wilson and the late GOP Sen. John McCain who teaches politics at several leading California universities, recently said on Yahoo News’ "Skullduggery" podcast. “The reason it’s not is because voters here have come to conclude that he is doing a much better job on it than they’d thought last spring and last winter.”"
Late night hosts gawk at the decidedly not-sober way Trump and Rudy Giuliani commemorated 9/11 excerpt: "Oh man, only Rudy can spend the 9/11 anniversary talking about the time he hung out with Jeffrey Epstein's alleged pedophile friend," Trevor Noah laughed at The Daily Show. "You know your speech went off the rails when people watching it are like, 'I wish this guy would talk more about 9/11.'" And while all the other presidents were soberly memorializing the anniversary, "Donald Trump spent 9/11 doing live commentary for a boxing match," Noah said. "And look, I'm not judging Trump. I'm happy anytime an unemployed person finds work, and I would definitely rather have him at a boxing match instead of hosting a memorial ceremony," but "how is this his life?"
That is Trump's life. Clinging to the glitter of firefighters, boxers, football players, big time wrestlers, religious cult leaders, and a 60-lb gold victory cup.
Right now, Donald Duck is changing his diaper more often, and standing next to Rudy, whose apartment was raided, is not helping things. Nor does it make Rudy feel warm and fuzzy and safe, to stand next to Donald Duck. So, they drink and spout smack, and the usual insane bullshit they share in common. This is actually, about as social as they get.
excerpt: Trump called Bush’s warnings about domestic terrorism during a speech on the twentieth anniversary of 9/11 “totally out of line.” He added, “When he was President, there were terrorists all over the world. I brought terrorism jobs back to the U.S.A.”
Trump Calls Bush Ungrateful: “I Kept Him from Being the Worst President in History” PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—In a blistering attack on another former Commander-in-Chief, Donald J. Trump called George W. Bush “ungrateful,” telling reporters, “I kept him from being the worst President in history.” “When he left office, he was at the bottom of the list of Presidents—I mean, the very, very bottom,” he said. “Then I got into office and changed all that.”
In a way, he did. Trump is at the bottom and displaced anyone else who might have otherwise been there.
