If you were unfortunate enough, you got to watch or listen to the freak
show this morning where President-Elect and human/gila monster hybrid
Donald Trump sputtered and free-associated his way through what you
might consider answers to the questions in a press conference. It was
one of those embarrassing moments for the entire nation that we all
better get used to.
At some point, Trump is going to be at a gathering
of world leaders and one of them is going to say, "What the fuck are you
saying, you fucking brain damaged moron? Fuck, I thought Bush was
dumb."
And most of us in the United States will just look away, ashamed
of Trump, like he's our boyfriend's racist grandpa who can't stop
talking about what "the blacks" need to do.
What Trump said today doesn't matter because he's a filthy liar who
traffics in the kind of hyperbole that'd make P.T. Barnum go "Whoa,
there, man, calm that shit down." He's lying about the extent of his
separation from his business. He forced his tax lawyer to lie about the
emoluments clause of the Constitution. Essentially, he said, "You should
be so fortunate to have me as president that I shouldn't have to do
anything that every other modern president has done, but here's a couple
of bones so you can shut the fuck up." Motherfucker, you ran for
president. You asked for the office. Divest or get the fuck out. But he
won't because truth and honesty don't matter.
What does matter is that he is so obviously deranged, so blatantly
incapable of complex thought, that he more or less just repeated
everything from his campaign, layering on extra degradation for members
of the press that he didn't like. When Jim Acosta of CNN tried to insist
on getting in a question because Trump kept attacking his network, I
wanted him to keep going until Trump went into a full-blown Captain
Queeg-like strawberry-seeking paranoid fit.
Meanwhile, so many questions surround
the dossier prepared by a former UK spy as oppo research for some
campaign (maybe JEB!'s). It's sopping wet with allegations of Russia
trading DNC email releases through Wikileaks in return for Trump backing
off criticism of the annexation of Crimea, as well as the desire for
Trump to criticize NATO's expansion, both of which he did. There's the
corruption, with the allegations of bribes and kickbacks in deals with
China. Then there's all the hookers and golden showers and other
possible blackmail material, most of which would fall on deaf ears like
drops of urine running down Trump's manboobs. God, how the media are
flagellating themselves and each other over the material, over whether
it should have been released, how it hasn't been corroborated, no matter
how reliable the sources are, what it means for future allegations
and...
You know what? Fuck it. Let's act like Republicans for a little while
and just state everything as if it's true. In fact, even if it's proven
to be 35 pages of utter fantasy, let's just keep saying it's true.
Because, see, Trump made his political career, fuck, much of his entire
career, on lies, and almost all Republicans didn't have the honor to
say, "No, sorry, that's just something he's pulling out of his ass."
The
mainstream media had no problem doing story after story about whether
or not Barack Obama was born in the United States, a lie that Trump
fingered and humped like it was the American flag with a pussy. Facts
are dead, as Reince Priebus and Newt Gingrich and other Trump surrogates
told us. We create our own reality, real reality be damned. So fuck it
all.
Trump can say he won in a "landslide" (he didn't), he can say he
didn't say things that he said on video or that he tweeted, he can push a
voter fraud fable like it's beyond reproach, he can claim that inner
cities are hellholes of crime, and he can say that his political
opponents are doing, have done, or will do things that are not even in
the realm of actual. And he just doesn't care if you tell him he's wrong
or there are facts that contradict him. It doesn't matter.
And I haven't even gotten into the sea of Republican and nutzoid
conservative lies over the decades that drowned Hillary Clinton, up to
and including the email controversy and the completely bug fuck insane
Pizzagate.
So fuck it. It's time for Democrats to have some fun. Let's not even
allow the idea that the Russian dossier isn't true. Let's just go with
that it's totally true. It's right there in writing. Page 27: Trump
"paid bribes to further his interests" in doing business in St.
Petersburg, where he "participated in sex parties. Or page 2: "The
Kremlin had been feeding Trump and his team valuable intelligence on his
opponents, including Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton,
for several years." Let's just repeat it over and over and demand
investigations and more investigations if those don't turn up what we
want and let's force the media to keep talking about it and make it the
only talking points so that all we can think about with Trump is that he
is a corrupt loser who watches hookers piss. It feels like it's true,
so let's go with the truthiness instead of the truth. Why should we be
left behind in the rush to jump off the cliff of reason?
Trump force-fed us his nonsense. He's still doing that now. Instead, make him choke on this dossier.
(Note: Of course, we won't do it. Because at the end of the day, we
sadly still have some sense of devotion to facts. It is our tragic flaw
as liberals.)
