The Fool On the Hill

 It's been a minute since I last put down in words my complete and utter contempt for morally deficient, intellectually limited, sexual assaulting, empathy deprived, incoherent convicted felon Donald Trump.

So what's up?

Weeks after being found guilty of 34 felony counts, Li'l Donnie visited Capitol Hill where he was warmly welcomed by the Republicans of the House and the Senate. 

The House GOP had a cake for his pending birthday. (The man who makes fun of Joe Biden for being old turned 78 last week.) They sang "Happy Birthday" to him and just generally sucked up to the human shaped mass of orange protoplasm.   

Over at the Senate meet 'n' greet, Sen. Mitch McConnell walked right up to Donald Trump and shook his hand. Never mind all the negative stuff Trump has said about Mitch, there is also the matter of nasty racist shit Li'l Donnie has hurled at Mitch's Taiwanese born wife.  Insulting wives is not a deal breaker; yep, Sen. Ted Cruz (whose wife was described by Trump in 2016 as ugly) was there to bend a knee in loyalty to der Furher.  

Republicans were in a race to see who could fawn over Trump more. A man who I must remind you is a morally deficient, intellectually limited, sexual assaulting, empathy deprived, incoherent convicted felon.   

While he was in Washington DC, Donald Trump had a meeting with a group of CEOs.  Mind you, this is a group that was sort of predisposed towards supporting Trump. After all, there is nothing more than a CEO with a lot of money wants more than MORE money. And they know Trump will rubber stamp any tax cut they want. 

They came out of the meeting less than impressed. 

For example, Trump proposed cutting the corporate tax rate from 21% to 20%.  When asked how he arrived at that number, Li'l Donnie could only say 20% is a round number.  

CEOs described  Trump as “remarkably meandering” and unable to keep a “straight thought” during the meeting.   

Basically Li'l Donnie tried that same incoherent stream of consciousness shit that the mouth breathing cultist eat up at his circle jerk rallies but corporate executives don't want to waste their time on that bullshit.  

Yeah, Trump will cut all the taxes and environmental protections and regulatory controls they want so the CEOs can make even MORE money but at what cost? Trump's first go-round as President was 4 years of chaos and uncertainty.  Is it worth more of the same, no matter what is to be gained?

So we have corporate executives actually wondering if Trump is actually all that while at the same time the Republican Congress is falling over itself to establish Donald Trump as Lord and Messiah. 

It is not a ubiquitous feeling in the Republican Party.   Former Congressman Paul Ryan appeared on Fox News to totally eviscerate Donald Trump as completely unfit for public office.  

But the fact that people like Paul Ryan (who can see the truth about the morally deficient, intellectually limited, sexual assaulting, empathy deprived, incoherent convicted felon Donald Trump) stand out in the dark swirling shadows of insane and deprave levels of obsequious fealty to this shambling man shaped monster....

I am still worried about the future.

Meanwhile, the first debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump will be held next week. Which concerns me as well. Look, we know Joe Biden is old and yeah, he can talk a bit slow and low but for the most part, he knows his stuff and I expect he will be prepped and ready for the debate.  But Trump  will not be prepped because he doesn't need to study or learn; Trump just assumes the lies he tells are the truth and he will yell those lies and the idiot faithful will praise his strength.  

And I will continue to worry about the future....

The Not So Incredible Edible

This past weekend was a strange one here at the Fortress of Ineptitude.   Well, “strange” was in the mission statement for Saturday evening ...
