Good lord we are so fucked. Just fucked.  After 400,000 Covid deaths, steering the economy into an iceberg, 47,000 whiny tweets and inciting an attack on the fucking capitol, 40 percent of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing:

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/since-the-capitol-attack-trumps-approval-rating-has-plummeted-at-a-record-rate/

This is why Republicans, and especially Trump, win on the economy. You tell poor people that they are doing well because rich people are doing well and they believe you. The market is all he talks about and so he does look accomplished. Never mind that we just had negative job growth and increasing unemployment. If I were Dems, I would have been on TV all day talking about last week's job numbers. Because Rs will be talking about how bad Biden has done even starting with the January numbers. This is a party that somehow turned the biggest financial collapse into a positive for themselves 8 years later by saying Obama's economy was growing too slow.

Ha. Good catch. This artist’s salt of the earth credentials are phony as hell. 

I mean....I know it's a little thing....but goddamit.  That fishing painting, where he's got a dinky Plano tackle box for pond or lake fishing, and he's got an offshore rod with a big Penn-like reel in his hand.  And the pump shotguns that show 1) the pump back in the "action-open" position, but 2) the action itself is painted as if it was closed.  Those are just basic concept things that show that the artist is just another brainless piece of shit.  Although I gotta tell ya....they're probably accurate, in that Trump wouldn't know a fishing rod from a chicken bone, and wouldn't be able to even figure out how to open the action of a pump shotgun.  He's literally the least manly president we've ever had.

Maybe we could crowdsource it to a team of Surly lawyers.  BrisketTexan could probably cash in on the grift as he's been talking about doing for so long.  Just make sure to get paid upfront, Brisket. In cash. 

You know what.....I'll do it.  $20 million, cash, up front.

And I WILL be using the Chewbacca defense.

I'm going to have to buy the bull riding rodeo Trump for a friend.  I just can't help it.  

https://jonmcnaughton.com/2020-ride-11x14-litho/

 

From the artist:

 

2020 Ride” by Jon McNaughton

Right out of the chute, President Trump is on the ride of his life.

Holding on for dear life, he is not letting go until his time is up.

That bull wants to buck him off and destroy him, but he’s not letting go.

Our economy and markets are booming.

The American people are prospering.

Our political enemies are desperate.

Lots of dust and dirt being kicked around.

The golden light of day illuminates the scene.

Trump is all-American, the rodeo cowboy that is not afraid to face the gritty reality of what he does.

We are now entering the year 2020, and it is going to be a spectacular ride!

Serious pet peeve of mine. That and shitty fishing ads that are insanely staged. Guaranteed that Trump would hold any rod upside down.

My favorite part of this one is imagining the MAGA art historians who have this one as part of their collection, when they put together the kid is reading socialism books and trump is teaching him how to provide for himself, thus saving America's youth from the evil of socialism, 2nd grade art history stuff. They are going to be so proud of themselves, giddy for their friends to come over so they can wax poetic about the deep meaning behind the masterpiece. 

In all fairness, I appreciate the artist's uncanny attention to detail in his depiction of Trump's ill-fitting business attire.

My dipshit parents bailed after the coup.  They aren’t going to vote D in the future, but they have decided that they are “done with politics”.

my mom sent a meme about not losing friendships over two men that don't even know our names.  So I think they are moving away from Trump.  Step-dad deleted facebook where he was posting a fox news lie of the day (And I did the research and posted the non-judgemental true data on coronavirus deaths, number of court cases dismissed, and refuting BLM/ANTIFA as the source of the riot.) He is a retired AF Col. and When I posted the thing about LtCol Brock from Texas I think it may have jarred him out of the brainwashing. 

I think the riot broke him for a few days but I called on Sunday and we talked about everything except politics like snow, Scotch, kid sports, swimming pools, staying healthy.   I did not do the "I told you so..." because I did tell them trump was on a course towards a violent insurrection.  

This has been very hard on me and I have lost a lot of sleep.  Last two night's I made up a little so it's getting better.

i'm a little zen on this too.  i watched hawley for the first time with his vote in the senate against confirmation.  the dude is dead in the water.  just zero appeal to this guy.  trump was sort of fun.  hawley is a weirdo creep.  there is no way your average maga fan would go to him.  even cruz is more appealing.  which led me to conclude that trump may really be a unique combination of appealing malignance that won't be recreated from the cast of characters we have right now.  the ultimate fear is "trump but smart."  i just don't know if that even exists.

Hawley is the megachurch televangelist to trump's reality tv persona

so like a Joel Osteen vs Kim Kardashian

both batshit crazy but one doesn't have a sex tape out there (yet)

And Hawley's sex tape is his wife spanking him while he calls her mommy.

Maybe it is just me but I am kind of enjoying not being enraged by his tweets, appearances at the WH talking shit, calling into Fox and Friends and speaking his lies and what not.  I actually am starting to feel more peaceful inside kind of in a Zen like state just because I am not hearing Trump spew his bullshit for the past few days.  Hope it stays this way.

i am enjoying that part, but instead of thinking i would also just slip into a zen like state, now i have to worry about unleashed MAGA/Q-Anon assholes who want to fuck shit up.

Is that where you dress in a costume so that nobody can see your face and just howl in pain?

I'm thinking that, after not paying Giuliani, Trump's going to find it hard to get any lawyers going forward, unless he pays upfront.

Remember when Trump said if he loses we will never hear from him again? What are the odds that he keeps that promise?

Zero chance he takes his ball and goes home. When he finally has a heart attack on the shitter, his last act will be to make sure he hits send on the conspiracy tweet he was writing before he even tries to press his life alert button.

He would have to pay any real lawyer their expected lifetime earnings since they would never be able to work again afterward.

I'll second chair you for a small portion of that $20M, some of which must go to the purchase of a monkey, maybe two, for our briefcases.

Does the monkey go inside the briefcase or does it carry the briefcase in?

In my view, it’s the phoniness that is so galling. And that phoniness is ubiquitous amongst Trump fans. So many are pretending to be something they’re not. 

In this guy’s case, he’s just pretending to know anything about outdoors culture. A lot of the MAGA traitors from the riots would claim to be devout Christians while wearing a shirt that says “Fuck Your Feelings,” beating up cops, and revering a dude in animal pelts who advertises himself as a pagan shaman. I mean, in what fucking world is any of that shit even remotely consistent with Christ’s message?

So much of MAGA culture is just delusional cosplay.

That's actually kind of an interesting choice for the guy since he's the one who had long been a hardcore supporter of going after the Chinese on trade issues.

Does he disagree with Trump and not think we won the trade war and are making billions off of Chinese tariffs now?

she should have responded with "Go fuck yourself."

 

 

The fact that she is a black Democrat from California who is in a interracial marriage is all the "go fuck yourself" she needs for someone like Pence. I wondered if he needed a chaperone when he called her. I am guessing he hated to even have to do it but can now say he did if he wins the 2024 primary.

It would be sweet if they delay take off of AF-1 (sorry, technical problems) until after the inauguration then make him deboard and search the plane for stolen government property.

He won't be in Washington for the inauguration.

All of you who have family members and friends that NOW say they’re done with Trump and maybe the GOP after the Jan 6 raid of the capitol. Just remember the American people have super short memories. They ain’t going away as soon as someone replaces Trump. Watch your back - they’re lying. They’re telling you what you want to hear. I don’t trust ANY OF THEM. 

You don't want to see my MAGA kin Facebook feeds. They are doubling down.

Let's play WHO SAID IT?

"There probably has not been a more racially divisive, economic divisive president in the White House since we had presidents who supported slavery."

Spoiler

Rep. Mo Brooks and then-Chairman of Ted Cruz's Alabama leadership team, January 2016

oh, and

Spoiler

He was talking about Obama, of course.
