Okay

The latest and most pungent stench emanating from the Oval Office is one of Trump’s most egregious acts.....that of the rash of pardons he’s thrown the way of his illegal acting pals.

Stepping off with the pardon of a vicious and racist Joe Arpaio and now continuing with the likes of Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and Charles Kushner to the probable pardons of his family members and even himself,  his waning days, not waning fast enough, are being concerned with not the electorate but, as usual, his own interests. He continues to maintain the title of “Worst White House occupant” I have ever viewed. Although January 20^th 2021 can’t come soon enough for many of us, be assured we won’t hear the last from this self- centered windbag.

By the way, the orange faced one recently arrived at his Palm Beach, Florida resort for his 31^st golf vacation which now has cost the American public some $151.5 million for his hobby since taking office.  He’s chased the small white ball some 289 times since being elected. Another roaring example of “Me, Me Me” by Trump.

While on the topic of the distasteful, let’s turn our attention to Ted Cruz, Texas member of the Senate who along with eleven of his congressional misguided pals plan on subverting the American public’s will by voting to overturn Joe Biden being elected President. Even the oft Trump flag waving Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has urged his Republican party members not to attempt to overturn what has been deemed “a free and fair vote”. The Texas electorate must really be proud of this clown, Cruz, who sadly occupies a U.S. Senate seat.

How ‘bout what Georgia Secretary Of State heard during a phone call from Trump demanding that the Secretary , Brad Raffensberger,  “find” votes that would overturn President Elect Joe Biden’s win.  Nope, you just can’t make this stuff up!  Two weeks remain for the flaxen haired one’s occupation of the West Wing. Is there an available “fast forward” button we can push? Certainly even his Washington exit won’t silence the continuing spate of negative comments spilling from the Trump mouth. Stay tuned.

Word has it that Florida neighbors of Don J. are less than thrilled with the prospect of his talking up residency in their area.  At least they can be assured that any rare Florida chilly spells can be corrected by the frequent hot air guaranteed to be emanating from the Trump homestead.

Ah, Change

Somethings never do....change. Example, Eric Trump who seldom gets anything right, this time tweeting a phony video which he claimed showed a person burning dozens of ballots in favor of dear old Dad.  The ballots torched were samples and not those voting for Pops. At least Sonny shows a consistency for the family traits of negativity and inaccuracy.

The “fabled” Rudy Giuliani is the owner of the quote of the week:  ““Do you think we’re stupid? Do you think we’re fools?” Care to guess the volume of answers?

Word has it that no one around Trump dares to mention that he lost the election. How sad. Even the mere mention of President Elect Biden’s name is discouraged. Maybe the do nothing offspring can find time during the next 10 weeks to help dear old Pops to pack.

Seems the Trump – Fox divorce is final. The orange faced one’s anger at Fox began when the web made the early call on Joe Biden winning Arizona. enraging the White House resident.

A Weekend Washington rally saw many Trump faithful flood the streets with claims of “false election”. After all the proof to the contrary the MAGA crowd took part in a stabbing and several arrests. Meantime, Trump made a weak acknowledgment of Joe Biden’s win. 

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany keeps her job by displaying the administration’s enchant for fib telling. She reported that the weekend gathering incuded “A million MAGA march”. Seems she exaggerated by more than 900,000+. The National Park Service issued a permit for 10,000 in Freedom Plaza.where the Trump fan club gathered. The Plaza max capacity is 13,900.. 

A startling thought,: what to fill this space with other than Trump baloney after January 20^th!

And, you know those notes the outgoing president traditionally leaves the incoming one? You suppose if the Trump note to Joe Biden includes any degree of sincerity and class, it’ll  probably will be composed by someone other than the red tied one.

Losing an election can do it.....now The Trump hair color has morfed from blonde to white!

The Rails

These recent Trump quotes makes us wonder if he and the rails haven’t entered into a permanent divorce after this pair of recent quotes:  “I think I’m running angry. I’m running happy and I’m running very content ’cause I’ve done a great job.” And referring to the much respected and knowledgeable Dr. Fauci “the guy’s an idiot and a disaster”.

Another quote, this from Rick Wilson who for years worked for Rudy Giuliani. A former glowing admirer, he now states, “The worst possible Greek tragedy doesn't encompass the Fall of Rudy from calamity to clown show to complete moral and physical collapse”.

The poor saps who allow themselves to wear those MAGA caps and, now, masks just so they can be seen behind Trump at his rallies apparently have little pride. But, who knows, maybe these foils enjoy their roles in the orange faced one’s fantasies.

Yet another quote, this from Barack Obama referring to Trump’s words and actions, “They embolden other people to be cruel, and divisive and racist. And it frays the fabric of our society. And it affects how our children see things. And it affects the ways that our families get along. It affects how the world looks at America”.

Despite the shutting off of the opposing candidate’s microphone while his opponent is stating an opinion or policy what do you bet Trump will find a way to focus attention on himself  I said prior to the final debate. Turned out just to be the case.

CNN’s fact-checking reporter Daniel Dale on Thursday labeled Donald Trump’s performance as” a bombardment of dishonesty” during the final presidential debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Trump was “better behaved tonight, but he lied more,” Dale stated. The phony haired one probably attracted a few more supporters who had previously been undecided but cast their sorry lot with him feeling perhaps he was more “presidential”.. Puleeze !..All those navy suits of his must come equipped with fire proof pants. By the way, many noted Trump’s frequent use of his pal, Fox News’ Sean Hannity phrases. Good grief !

No!

Unbelievable this should come from a resident of the Oval office: ““I feel so powerful,” Trump said. “I’ll walk into that audience, I’ll walk in there. I’ll kiss everyone in that audience. I’ll kiss the guys and the beautiful women, and every mouth, I’ll give you a big fat kiss.”  Unreal

When have you, as me, been unable to come up with your phone number when asked?  I usually try to cover my embarrassment by saying something such as “I know it as well as my name, Beaufort Fudwunk”.

Trump’s latest Supreme Court nominee has proven thus far, using an athletic team name, to not be an Angel but rather a Dodger by refusing to answer several questions including the one from Senator Kamala Harris that if she believes in climate change. Amy Coney Barret failed neither an affirmative nor negative reply. At that point and others she appeared more political than judicial.

Rudy Giuliani continues to cover himself in something far less than glory. Recently, he answered an interviewer’s question in a deriding oriental accent. Class, yup, you’re all class, Rudy.

Pete Souza was the chief White House photographer for both President Barack Obama and President Ronald Reagan. He knows phony when he sees it and that he did with a pair of pictures showing the Oval Officer supposedly working while at Walter Reed Hospital. The first displays Trump signing a blank piece of paper while in the second we see him 10 minutes later in a different outfit..

More alleged examples of Donald Trump’s early racist, misogynist and anti-Semitic behavior in excerpts from an upcoming tell-all book about her time working for him. Barbara Res, who was vice president in charge of construction at the Trump family company, recounts her former boss’s comments about Black people, women and Jews in passages from “Tower of Lies: What My 18 Years of Working With Donald Trump Reveals About Him” There may have to be special public library sections devoted to the collections of such numerous volumes.

Congrats to NBC’s Savannah Guthrie who was all in the Trump town meeting than Chris Wallace wasn’t in the initial Biden-Trump first debate.

Yo

The initial tv Presidential debate can best be described by another word beginning with the letters d-e-b....debacle. Hopefully, the powers that be will install new rules and guidelines to prevent a repeat of the disaster that took place this week. Perhaps the moderator being able to control the candidates’ microphone would be helpful. Of course with the Trump illness, the entire issue may be in doubt.

Quote worth noting from Jimmie Kimmel: “Maybe the most egregious lie Trump told during the debate was when he said Joe Biden played more golf than he does. Phil Mickelson doesn’t play more golf than he does”.

The confusion between truth and fiction which has resulted since Trump took office rolls on. The American people continue to get conflicting stories regarding the health and hospitalization of the West Winger. Are the facts anywhere to be found?

Tucker Carlson has attacked the Media saying the coronavirus isn’t as dangerous as it is said to be. Guess this clown thinks the deaths of over 200,000 Americans insignificant. Yep, again this remains a great country where any moron can speak his or her mind with no regard to reason and truth. By the way, a film entitled “Totally Under Control” will soon be seen detailing Trump’s terrible handling of the Coronavirus crisis.

Seems Donald Trump attempted to go back to the Oval Office this past Tuesday after less than 24 hours following being released from Walter Reed Hospital and only six days after being tested positive for COVID 19. It is recommended that anyone contracting the virus self=isolate for at least 10 days after the symptoms first appear. Not Trump, as his concern for others continues non-existent.

The Red Sox, following a truly miserable abbreviated season, are seeking a new manager. I vote for the eligible return of Alex Cora and the naming of Jason Varitek as bench coach. 

Does it seem that during these sequestered times tv programming needs to be much better than it is?
