Last week, our granddaughter Rosie came home to visit from college last week for Thanksgiving along with her emotional support human, our daughter Randie.
It was a pleasant visit from Rosie and I am glad she brought her emotional support human with her or else the Christmas lights wouldn't be up here at the ol' Fortress of Ineptitude.
So thanks, Randie.
Anyway, it was an enjoyable visit from Rosie and Randie and I am pleased to report free from anti-Semitism.
Unfortunately, not all homes with dinner guests last week could make that claim.
Yep, we're looking at Donald Trump and his perpetual side show down in Mar-a-Lago. Apparently Li'l Donnie invited Kanye West to dinner. Kanye has run afoul of sponsors and social media for his anti-Semitic remarks and decided what this dinner needed was MORE anti-Semitism.
So Kanye brought Nick Fuentes with him. Fuentes heads up a political movement based on white supremacist and anti-Semitic views. He was at Charlottesville in 2017, spouting off his messages of hate and bigotry. He's held events attended by Republican Congress people, promoting beliefs and policies centered around his bigoted philosophy.
Some Republicans have called into question Trump's dinner guests.
Chris Christie said it shows an “awful lack of judgment” by Trump that, when combined with other transgressions, make him an “untenable general election candidate for the Republican Party in 2024.”
Trump’s former ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, called Fuentes “human scum” and urged Trump to disavow both men.
Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson said, “I don’t think it’s a good idea for a leader that’s setting an example for the party or the country to meet with an avowed racist or anti-Semite."
Representative James Comer of Kentucky said that Trump “certainly needs better judgment in who he dines with.”
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo commented that “Anti-Semitism is a cancer. We stand with the Jewish people in the fight against the world’s oldest bigotry.”
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel had this to say on the matter: “As I had repeatedly said, white supremacy, neo-Nazism, hate speech and bigotry are disgusting and do not have a home in the Republican Party."
I need to note that both Pompeo and McDaniel offered their respective criticisms without mentioning Donald Trump by name. I guess even with all this mess, they're still scared of this fucking moron for some reason.
Even Li'l Donnie himself seems to realize he's in a shit storm, trying to distance himself from Kanye ("a troubled young man") and disavowing even knowing who Fuentes is.
Which of course is bullshit. Fuentes has been effusive and consistent in his praise and support of Donald Trump and really, that's all that matters to Li'l Donnie.
Thankfully we had no such issues with out guests last week. But just to be clear, Rosie the Dog condemns anti-Semitism in all it's forms. And that also includes her emotional support human and everyone here at the Fortress of Ineptitude.
Y'all be good to each other, OK?
