The Never-Ending Nightmare Circus

Ol' Buster has been busy with other stuff, but it's time for a recap of recent horrors.  Our feckless leader, the Shredded Carrot Salad with Russian dressing, continues to lie his ass off everyday, bang his shoe on the table, and thoroughly embarrass himself and America.  Here are a few selected moments of chagrin:

"We're Meeting!  I've Cancelled the Meeting.  Maybe We'll Meet, Maybe Not.  We'll See."  That's our new one-size-fits-all foreign policy -- yes, no, maybe, we'll see.  Trump's like the old King Crimson song, 21st Century Schizoid Man.  It turns out Mr. Art of the Deal is not a deal-maker, just a deal-breaker, a demolition man.  The meeting with Kim Jong Un, the Paris Climate Accords, TPP, the Iran nuclear deal, NAFTA, DACA -- all destroyed by the Dispeptic Don.

"I hereby demand an investigation into the investigators who are investigating me!"  Trump and Ghouliani officially went into full freak-outmode over the Mueller/Russia probe.  Their latest scheme/lie is "Spygate" -- the utterly fabricated claim that Obama "infiltrated" the Trump campaign and "embedded" an informant to spy on poor unsuspecting Donald.  LMFAO!

Trump obviously thinks that promoting culture war racial division is a winning strategy.  He's back to screaming his angry bigotry about some (black) NFL players kneeling during the anthem as a peaceful, pre-game protest of enduring police brutality against the black community.  He's even suggested that if players won't stand, they should leave the country.  Weenie Roger Goodell and his bazillionnaire team owners are backing him all the way.  The NFL has a new official ban on taking a knee or making other on-field comments during pre-game activities.  The ban is a violation of labor law and the First Amendment free speech protection.  Players perceive it as a hostile act.  They're right.  So is NBA coach Steve Kerr -- the ban is "fake patriotism, idiotic."  Fuck the NFL, and fuck Donald Trump.



Trump and AG Jefferson Beauregard Sessions recently announced their new cruel and unnecessary policy of separating immigrant children from their parents at the border, criminally prosecuting the parents, and placing the kids in "foster care, or whatever."  We've never done that before.  Trump then went fully fact-free when he tweet-blamed Democrats and urged them to end this "horrible law."  Donald, you dipshit, the D's had nothing to do with it, and it's not a law -- it's your own brand-new policy.

But then, completely out of character, the fraudulent, corrupt Grifter-In-Chief did an admirable thing, the one and only admirable thing he's ever done, as far as I can tell -- he posthumously pardoned Jack Johnson, legendary boxer of the early 20th century, the first great black heavyweight champion.  Despised by white racists, in 1913 Johnson was convicted by an all-white jury of a Mann Act violation.  His "sin"?  Crossing a state line with his white girlfriend "for immoral purposes."  Johnson fled to Europe but eventually returned and served several months in prison.  His pardon came 105 years too late, but Donnie actually did a decent thing.

One decent thing.  Probably his limit.
