Bricks in the Wall



So what’s up in the world? 


In a tizzy of a snit, Li’l Donnie is bitching about immigration and threatening to shut down the government over it.

It’s about the wall.


Sigh. It’s always the wall with this guy. It kind of reminds me of college.


Dorm roommate: I’m going to get high and listen to some music, man.  

Me (thinking): Please don’t play Pink Floyd’s The Wall again!  Please don’t play Pink Floyd’s The Wall again! 

Dorm roommate: The Wall by Pink Floyd, dude!

Me: DAMMIT!


Trump does love his wall. He hasn’t let go of his dream for a big, beautiful wall between the United States and Mexico. Remember when he used to brag about making Mexico pay for it? Here’s how that negotiation went.


Trump: Hey, Mexico! Pay for the wall!


Mexico: Fuck you!


Trump: Hey, Congress! Pay for the wall!


Democrats: Fuck you!


Republicans: Eh, whatever you say, boss!


Democrats: Really?! 


Republicans: Shhh! No, not really. But don’t tell anyone. 


Trump: Democrats hate America and won’t pay for the wall!


Democrats: But… but… it’s not… Hey, the Republicans said….


Republicans: No worries, boss! We’re working on it!


Democrats: Fuck you!    


Now anybody with even the tiniest smidgen of common sense knows Trump’s wall is a boondoggle. The logistics of constructing a wall along the length of the American/Mexican border are just not favorable. And then there’s the idea of whether a wall would actually be effective for all the costs and effort required to make it a reality.

Trump: Behold the wall! America is completely safe from illegal immigrants!


Group of dusty immigrants with shovels standing nearby next to a hole in the ground, chanting: USA! USA! USA!


In the sky above, immigrants wave from the bucket of a hot air balloon,  chanting: USA! USA! USA!


Trump: Dammit! Why didn’t I think of that?  


There have been some concessions from the Democrats in previous budget deals to agree to some funding for Trump’s wall. But Trump has nixed those deals, citing they were not tough enough. I’ve read where White House staffers are frustrated in that they keep negotiating with Congress to get some funding for the wall and then Trump gets all pissed off that he’s not getting ALL the money up front for the wall. He wants it ALL and he wants it NOW.


And if you’re thinking that sounds like a spoiled petulant child not getting his own way, well, duh. 





Meanwhile...

Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani completely short circuited Monday.  

Giuliani appeared to tell CNN’s Alisyn Camerota that President Donald Trump was not present at the infamous Trump Tower meeting attended by Donald Trump Jr.

Which is a interesting thing to bring up because no one else had said Trump was at the meeting. Giuliani was answering a question no one asked.  

Media pundits immediately wondered, "Hey, why is Giuliani denying an accusation that no one had made?"


So Giuliani called Fox News’ “Outnumbered” hours after his CNN interview to clarify things.

Here's how that went.  

So let me take you through it. The day of the meeting with the Russians, Cohen has said ― now he’s leaked it, so we’re not even sure he’s said it, somebody said it for him through a reporter ― he said that he was in President Trump’s office, Donald Trump Jr. walked in and told him about the Russian meeting. That is categorically untrue. Did not happen.”


"Second, there was another meeting that has been leaked but hasn’t been in public yet. That was a meeting ― an alleged meeting ― three days before, according to Cohen ... he says there was a meeting with Donald Jr., with Jared Kushner, with Paul Manafort, with Gates and possibly two others, in which they ― out of the presence of the president ― discussed the meeting with the Russians. ... That meeting never, ever took place. It didn’t happen. It’s a figment of his imagination.”

Confused? You’re not the only one.  Fox News hosts' eyes were spinning like a juggler's dinner plates. 


Fox News host Melissa Francis asked, “Why are you saying that the president wasn’t at the meeting? Who asked if he was there? No one asked if he was there.”

Rudy Giuliani stabbed the air with his finger, smiling broadly and exclaimed, "A-HA! Exactly!" 

Then Rudy Giuliani strapped on a rocket pack to his back and flew out of the studio.  

Here's a visual representation of Rudy Giuliani's remarks on Fox News. 



Also, there was some thing or another about some GOP politician being into "Bigfoot erotica" but guys, I'm spent.
