Trump Fuckery Revisited (With Celebrity Guests and Funko Pops)

Well, I’ve managed to avoid politics for a few posts now! Yay, Doctor Who and Batman's Penis for saving I’m So Glad My Suffering Amuses You from the sordid muck and mire of Trumpian politics. 


Regrettably, our attention, dear reader is demanded to be paid to not just the latest fuckery from Trump and the gang but also to fuckery we have already visited.  Sadly the wheels on the bus go ‘round and ‘round.       

I'll try to make this hurt less. 

With celebrities!!!!

This is Keira Knightley, currently starring in Colette,  a  British biographical drama film, directed by Wash Westmoreland based upon the life of the French novelist Colette.
It also stars Dominic West, Eleanor Tomlinson and Denise Gough.
Colette is in theaters now.  

I'm also adding Funko Pops! Those are fun, right? 

And now.....

Previously, we touched on how....

Trump policies on immigration designed to keep out Muslims are hurting Christians.

NOW THIS!


In the coming fiscal year, the ceiling on how many refugees the United States will allow in the country will be reduced to 30,000.  This is lower than the previous low set by the Trump administration in 2018 of 45,000;  the actual number so far this year is 25,000. 



This latest decimation of helping people is the handiwork of Stephen Miller who is overseeing a systematic and devastating reduction in the numbers of anyone is not here in the United States from coming here. These efforts hide under the guise of keeping out terrorists and curbing illegal immigration but Miller is not that focused with policies designed to significantly scale back legal immigration  and even humanitarian relief efforts to rescue people in need of help and a place to stay. 



With the world facing the worst refugee crisis since World War II, the recommendation to slash refugee numbers was widely condemned by humanitarian organizations and human rights groups. Some Christian charities have urged the Trump administration to reconsider its position on refugees.



Normally the State Department would advocate for refugees. After all, refugee resettlement creates goodwill, rewards those who help U.S. personnel in danger zones at significant risk and stabilizes host countries bordering conflict zones among other benefits.  Instead, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said none of that. Instead he just shrugged, said he number of refugees coming into the United States would be limited to 30,000 next year.  Eh, what you gonna do, right? Pompeo’s brow beaded with sweat as he looked over at Stephen Miller who flicked his lizard tongue at him. 





In this case, the Department of Defense did advocate for refugees. Hey, did you know that  refugee resettlement creates goodwill, rewards those who help U.S. personnel in danger zones at significant risk and stabilizes host countries bordering conflict zones among other benefits? 



Stephen Miller's response to all that? 


Humanitarian organizations?  "Fuck you!" 

Human rights groups? "Fuck you!" 

Christian charities?  "Fuck you!" 

Department of Defense? "Fuck you!" 

Refugees? ""Fuck you... most of all!"   


Well, you may wonder, how does this one guy set this agenda.  OK, let’s check the list.

1. Stephen Miller is a cockroach. One of the few who came on board with Trump in the beginning and is still there. Miller is adept at finding dark places to hide.  When he pushed through the Muslim travel ban last year, he did so with no oversight or legal scrutiny. In the meeting last Friday to set the 30,000 refugee resettlement limit, the meeting was classified, meaning those who did attend could not tell anyone what they talked about.
2. Stephen Miller has stacked the deck, placing like-minded associates in key positions at the State Department. Back at that meeting last Friday, Miller limited those in attendance to those who support his position on immigration.  Miller’s position on immigration?  He’s against it. 
3. Stephen Miller lacks human compassion. His cold calculus is predicated on this unflinching view: if you are over there, you don’t get to come here. Even if you’re a refugee pleading “My country is on fire. My house is on fire! My spouse and children are on fire! I’m on fire!” If you are on fire over there, you don’t get to come here.
4. Stephen Miller may act like a rogue agent, acting without limits on his power and authority to do what he wants but he’s not truly a rogue agent since what he wants is what Donald Trump wants. Trump’s position on immigration?  He’s against it. Trump and Miller are also alike on that whole lack of human compassion thing. Trump used to mock the United States for taking in refugees because we weren’t getting anything out of it. Helping people in need? It’s the right thing to do? Nah, it didn’t register for Trump and it’s not a blip on Miller’s radar either. Miller is doing exactly what Trump wants. 

All of this is should be the complete antithesis to Christian faith and ideals. But it’s so called Christian evangelicals who put Trump in the White House and continue to support him. And as long as they continue to support Trump, he continues to want what he wants. And when it comes to helping those in need, what Trump wants is what Miller wants.  

Welcome to Emma Stone who is currently starring in Maniac, a dark comedy miniseries based on the Norwegian television series of the same name.
It also stars Jonah Hill, Justin Theroux, Sonoya Mizuno, Gabriel Byrne &  Sally Field. Maniac, streaming now on Netflix.

I’ve touched before on the subject of....


Trump’s animosity towards Attorney General Jeff Sessions.




NOW THIS!


The heartbreak goes much deeper.  Sniffling, wiping tears from his beady little eyes, Trump sadly declares, ““I don’t have an attorney general.”



As we’ve noted before, Sessions has been in many ways Trump’s most loyal servant in his cabinet which including ramped up prosecutions of illegal border crossings and rollbacks of Obama-era police reforms. But Trump has taken offense against Sessions for his personal slights against Li’l Donnie: recusing himself from the Russian investigation and not dropping everything to go after Trump’s enemies.  



“It’s very sad. I’m not happy at the border, I’m not happy with numerous things, not just this.”



Well, that’s new!



Sessions’ zero tolerance approach to border security was pretty much in lock step with Trump’s own campaign positions regarding border security (which is also supported and advocated by Stephen Miller), I’m kind of curious as to what exactly Trump is not happy about at the border? 

And now let's say hello to Kristen Bell who recently announced the return of her cult favorite mystery dramedy series Veronica Mars for the streaming service Hulu.  Also the 3rd season of her critically acclaimed comedy The Good Place will premiere on NBC on September 27, 2018. 

And now.....

As we’ve noted before....


Trump believes the FBI is out to get him.



NOW THIS!


Plunging deeper into his paranoia, Trump is ordering documents declassified that he believes will “expose something that is truly a cancer in our country”.   



Trump’s allies, their lips firmly affixed to his posterior, have promoted Li’l Donnie’s paranoid narrative that  Robert Mueller’s ongoing Russia investigation  is a "hoax", a conspiracy  inside the Justice Department to topple Trump's presidency.



What Trump and his assorted ass kissers keep doing is cherry picking select bits and pieces out of context to justify the ravings of this deranged moron. It is an effort that is succeeding with Trump’s base as the view of Mueller, the probe and the DOJ grows increasingly negative. What ever facts Mueller and his team come up with, Trump’s based has been primed to regard any such facts as fabrications in service to a plot to destroy their president.


Friday, trump back down.

Trump has backed down from his demand that his intelligence agencies immediately release sensitive documents related to the Russia investigation, bowing to protests from inside his Justice Department and to concerns raised by foreign partners.

Yeah, I'm guessing that Li'l Donnie got wind that some info in those documents would look make him look bad more than it would undermine Mueller's probe. 

And finally joining us today is Jodie Whittaker who will make her debut as the new Doctor on Doctor Who which will premier on BBC America on October 7th.
