So it’s really awesome that the current President of these United States is a 79-year-old man with the mind of a toddler. He covets other people’s toys and telling him, “No, that belongs to somebody else” does no good; he stamps his little feet and shouts “But I want it!”
One such is the Nobel Peace Prize, which he decided he absolutely had to have, mostly I think because Obama got one. The Scandies weren’t going to give it to him because they’re not nuts. Then FIFA created a special Peace Prize just for him, but of course that wasn’t good enough, because deep down he knew it wasn’t real. Yesterday Venezuela’s opposition leader, who just happened to be last year’s winner, tried to give hers to him; possibly thinking she would be rewarded with a presidency. (She got a tote bag full of MAGA swag.) But it doesn’t have his name on it so what good is it?
Today he posted this on his little app:
It is my Great Honor to announce that THE BOARD OF PEACE has been formed. The Members of the Board will be announced shortly, but I can say with certainty that it is the Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled at any time, any place.
No doubt they will be awarding a prize, and it will be ten feet tall and gold and show the great man doing his jerking-off-two-dicks-at-once dance.
This is literally at the same time he has been threatening to invade Greenland for no reason anyone can understand, other than “I want it.” On Wednesday his minions had a meeting with officials from Greenland and Denmark, who emerged looking ashen and immediately went to their car for a cigarette.
I imagine the message from Marco and J.D. was something to the effect of, “The boss has made up his mind and no one can change it. So tough titty.”
And at this point it occurs to me that it’s really not worth talking about the man anymore. He is clearly non compos mentis, and can no longer be held responsible for his actions either morally or legally (thanks to the Supremes). So I am going to focus my psychic energies on those who are enabling him: Vance, Rubio, Miller, Noem, Bondi, Leavitt, etc. These people have chosen evil, not had it thrust upon them. Is there any line they wouldn’t cross?
A few times recently I’ve come across references to the phrase “Have you no sense of decency?” — famously uttered by Joseph Welch in a congressional hearing, these magical words somehow turned back the tide of McCarthyism and changed the world for the better.
Unfortunately the answer now would be a simple “Nope.” But still; a question worth asking.
Philip K. Dick could not have written this stuff.
agreed with all except it’s the Nords not the Swedes
Fixed.
