This week in GOP stupidity

 It was reported Thursday that president Trump would be "on patrol" with DC cops & military officers, just to prove his false claim that crime has gone up in the nation's capitol.

Thankfully, wiser heads prevailed, as Trump instead decided to play delivery man, bringing the officers pizza & burgers.


Wiseguy Pizza. Fitting, no? Photo courtesy of Yahoo!.

If you had the implication, as I did, that Trump would actually do a ride-along, putting himself at risk, you would dismiss this as justification for his new nickname, Taco (Trump Always Chickens Out). At the end of the day, this was more about the phony tough guy beating his chest, trying to act macho, as usual.

Then again, Dumb Donald II (Donald Trump, Jr.) proved once again how clueless he is, by whining about the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain (not affiliated with the Kraft brand of cheese---we think) changing its logo, and removing the picture of an old farmer with a barrel alongside the logo. MAGA, of course, plead ignorance, but the reality is that Cracker Barrel, like any other business, wants to attract younger consumers and families, feeling that the old man was turning younger demographic groups away. That's just how business works.

The elder Trump's latest stunt will only provide fodder for South Park creators Trey Parker & Matt Stone, who have been relentless in skewering the Trump mis-administration in 3 episodes so far this season. We might as well conclude that South Park will premiere new episodes on an every other week basis, which gives Parker & Stone more time to prepare their material.

Reading that the FBI raided the home of former Trump aide John Bolton, and all director "Counterfeit" Kash Patel will say to justify it is, "no one's above the law". Speak for yourself, Kash. Donnie Diapers is obsessed with avenging himself on his political enemies. Meanwhile, Trump is demanding the release of Tina Peters, the Colorado election supervisor sent to jail for her involvement in a scheme to reverse the 2020 election. Uh, I hate to break it to Donnie Diapers, but it was a Republican DA who prosecuted a fellow Republican in Mile High Country. Case closed.
