I asked this myself this as I watched the toast at that inaugural luncheon where Donald Jackass Trump, that “f*&^ing moron,” sure seemed to enjoy sipping his champagne! Who knows? He might be a closet sot, his abstinence from alcohol as much a lie as his false claims of being religious (an upside-down bible? Oh my!), or having bone spurs so this false patriot could avoid military service in Vietnam.
More troubling is that there aren’t as many in his second term left to count all his lies! In the past, the Washington Post’s staff did an acceptable job of it, although they often missed several lies of omission. (He’s not very good at being subtle, of course, so there are fewer of those anyway. Most of his lies are bold-faced porkies and outrageous claims that no sane person could ever believe. Unfortunately, nearly half of America’s voters were insane enough to believe them and vote for him.)
I guarantee that the Post will no longer continue to count Narcissus le Grand’s many lies. What’s different now? It’s simple: The fascist oligarch Jeff Bezos now owns it! Not endorsing Kamala provided an obvious clue: He’s turning the Post into a propaganda broadsheet for Trump’s Fascist Party of America (FPA), a Putinesque Pravda in other words, where “truth”–that’s what the Russian name means!—is determined by America’s wannabe fuehrer. In other words, old Bezos has morphed into an American oligarch who puckers up to kiss Trump’s fat McD’s butt.
Several new fascist American oligarchs had center stage during the inauguration events where Elon Muskrat, Sugar-Mountain Mark (aka Zuckerberg), and other sleazy autocratic personalities sagely nodded at all the lies spewing from Trump’s lying mouth. (Muskrat might have lost some favor recently because he didn’t like America’s wannabe Il Dulce’s new AI initiative that left him out in the cold. The Chinese preempted all of them!)
In a span of a few days, Americans have been reliving and repeating the history of those years when Putin turned a Russia trying to become a democracy into a hellish fascist state without ideology or morality. Donald Jackass Trump wants to do the same to the US. The first executive action on his list should have been “I won! So I’m turning the US into just another shithole fascist country! Kiss my butt!” But this jackass is just a “f^%$ing moron,” as his SecState told the generals at a Pentagon meeting long ago. Why would people as smart as the Muskrat and that big Bezos-Bot support this convicted felon, twice-impeached, and seditious SOB? For the same reason that Russian oligarchs support Putin: Trump will make his oligarchs even richer at great cost to all other Americans, even for the stupid asses who voted for him!
In any case, I expect a lot of staff to flee the Post. Why would they tolerate Bezos’s plan to turn that venerable publication of truth into Pravda? A once-proud publication that went after Nixon and the jackass in his first term? A once-proud publication that received a lot of respect and now has none? Readers should cancel their subscriptions as well. There are some honest newspapers left…just not the Washington Post!
The X-Files’ advice is now the best for all sane readers to follow in these new Fascist States of America: Trust no one! Even your neighbors might be lying or be violent MAGA maniacs channeling their beloved fuehrer and his Proud Boys and Oath Keepers militia members the jackass has pardoned. They’re a plague like cockroaches, and Bezos is one of the biggest bugs around!
