More Demised Equine Pummeling

The scenario in today's 'toon is probably word-for-word how the last meeting on the CR went down between Schumer and His Most Exalted Feculence. It would explain the last-minute reversal in Schumer's rejection of the CR as written.

We know Trump is an asshole when away from the cameras. He was certainly neither cordial nor diplomatic to Senator Schumer and probably treated him no differently that he treated Velenskyy.

If the shutdown had occurred Little Miss Petulant could shut down most of the federal government and would have sent thousands home, probably permanently. And it is entirely up to the president, or whatever Trump is, when and if the government ever reopend.

Count Schmuckula, if he so chose, could have let the shutdown go on for his entire term. How this would have affected the ability to have new elections in unknown as America has never had a actual lunatic holding the reins of power.

I know from experience how hard it is to deal with a loved one whose mind has lost its grip on reality. It's worse when the person afflicted can, thanks to the Supreme Court, have you gutted like a fish on his merest whim.

So, seriously, get off Schumer's back.

Trump is probably against daylight savings time because it has the word "savings" in it, making it the only savings he can't steal from us and let his tech bros privatize.

Trump pulling away from our NATO allies is going to eventually cost this country trillions of dollars. This is because they cannot trust the U.S. any longer to meet their military equipment needs so they'll soon be doing it themselves.

Since 1941-onward the U.S. Murder Machine has been putting millions of Americans to work in good-paying jobs assembling fighter planes and any number of skunk-work projects. Which means American tax-payers will be footing the bills for exciting new ways to kill perceived bad hombres instead of letting out allies cut some checks.

Whatever Trump touches, dies.

Speaking of which, it's estimated that as a result of Trump's cuts to USAID about 1.5 million people will die of HIV.

Things die when Trump touches them because he is the Emissayr of Death.

Let me tell you a story....

In 897 AD Pope Stephen VI had the body of Pope Formosus (891-896) disinterred and put on trial. Formosus' crime was backing the wrong emperor of Rome.

Formosus’ corpse lost the case, a common occurrence in court proceedings in which the defendant lacks a pulse. As punishment his body was mutilated and his ordinations invalidated. Then he was reburied.

But this wasn't enough for old Steve as he later had the body dug up, tied to weights, and thrown in the river.

Now you may ask yourself: What kind of feral, imperious, self-aggrandizing, inhuman lunatic would engage in such a grotesque act of imagined justice against a defenseless former peer?

And then it's been reported that Trump‘s DOJ is going after Habitat for Humanity which could only be construed as an exercise in Jimmy Carter corpse-bashing and you have your answer.

A somewhat comforting footnote to this story is that the general public was quite unhappy about Formosus' treatment and subsequently imprisoned and strangled Pope Steven [evil grin]. Formosus' corpse was later recovered and eventually buried in Saint Peter's Basilica.

The end.
