President Trump gets what he wanted-----and what he didn't want

 Monday was a case of good news, bad news for the Trump administration.

The good news? Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court, giving the GOP a 6-3 advantage heading into next week's election. Senator Pruneface (Mitch McConnell) bum-rushed the confirmation through, ignoring more important issues, like, you know, the coronavirus, so the court would be in a position to make significant rulings before and after the election. A vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, for example, would be on the docket in 2 weeks. Trump, obsessed with erasing anything and everything associated with his predecessor, made repealing the ACA part of his 2016 platform, but by the time the court makes a decision, it may already be too late for Trump, should he lose the election.

The bad news? Son-in-law Jared Kushner went on Fox & Friends Monday morning and, basically, did what the adult men in the Trump family tend to do. Grandiose embarrassment on national television.

Kushner had the gall to make disparaging remarks about African-Americans, leaning into an ages old stereotype suggesting that African-Americans need to be motivated to achieve their goals. This is a little dubious coming from a trust fund jackass who, like his father-in-law, bought his way into college, and if he wasn't a senior advisor, he'd probably be loafing at the nearest country club.

Whoopi Goldberg and the panel on The View took their shots earlier today.


Since we handed out Dunce Caps yesterday, jewels-for-brains Jared gets the Weasel of The Week award. This was just too easy.

Ah, yes. The old "African Americans are lazy and they need to work harder if they want to succeed" jibber-jabber. Well you know, it would also help us if we didn't live in a society that's designed to hold us back. Oh, and stop shooting us too while you're at it.

This is just what what black people need; to be lectured by some rich white dude who inherited his fortune from his father, has no black friends and has never had to earn anything in his life. Kindly, GTFO, Jared.

Yeah, I just love getting whitesplained by some trust fund baby whose only exposure to African Americans is that he caught half of an episode of "What's Happening!!" on TV one time.

The boys in Jared's country club like to spout that black people are inherently lazy thugs with no ambition or drive to better ourselves, yet whenever we do try to improve our lot or work hard to succeed and attempt to procure a pie of the capitalist pie, these same RWNJs then call us "uppity" and demand that we "learn our place". So, which is it, fellas? We can't win with you guys.

Hey Kushner, replace the word 'black' in your diatribe with 'Jew' and then maybe you'll see what's so wrong with your little speech.

And for the handful of folks in Jared's camp who are now trying to play the victim card, claiming that they're being unfairly targeted, let me just say this: if you guys are tired of getting blamed for doing racist things and for having done said things in the past, here's a little tip: stop doing these things!

No one forced you guys to to lie, cheat, steal, murder, rob, pillage and create fundamentally unequal societies. You fellas decided to do this world and then want to act like the victims once you realize that the rest of us, black, brown, tan, red, yellow and white alike, aren't going to take it anymore.

Get the heck over yourselves, ya crybabies. Nobody's coming after you guys and rounding you up or anything of the kind, even after everything that y'all have done over the years. Just be thankful that the rest of humanity is better than you and your progenitors.

Rich white trash like Jared target the suburban simpletons who were until 2016 secretly resentful of the fact that a charismatic African-American became President. These closet Archie Bunker wannabes are actually beneath the notice of Captain Cheeto and his mindless drones (family included), which is at the heart of the con. Jared & Ivanka whined when the Lincoln Project bought ad space at Times Square, and threatened litigation. Good luck with that.

I think we all know who we're voting for next week, guys, and it ain't Captain Cheeto.

Thanks to early voting, Silverstar and I already voted, and I think you know just how we voted. I'll give you a hint: it's the name of a color that rhymes with "shoe".

I have that option since my polling place is just up the hill from my apartment. I may do that, or wait the traditional election day. Either way, Captain Cheeto is going down.
