Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for July 03, 2020

If there was a bounty on the Rump’s head, it would probably be less than $10.

But what about Benghazi?

In real life, after panel two, it would be, “The next person who mentions this is fired!”

“Mentions what, Mr Resident?”

It’s as if COVID-19 had made a substantial loan to a certain orange hued Incompetent “businessman” and expected payback with a few choice favors… OR this orange hued “human” had a psychotic break with reality and lives in his fairy tale world as hundreds of thousands lives he “sworn” to protect suffer and die directly due to his delusions. You would think murder would be an impeachable offense.

COVLAD-19

It’s took bad that the Orange Buffoon’s one size fits all solution solves nothing.

I still remember Howard Stern saying trumpy never really wanted or expected to be elected. And with all the rumors that he might not even run for re-election (one can dream), it does often seem he is on a course of self-destruction.

Alright folks time to do this. We all get on here daily, weekly, weakly or whatever and spout our disapproval of the present regime. That makes us feel better because we did something. As Dave Barry says: “It was a meaningless gesture but it was a gesture nonetheless.” I can’t confirm Mr Barry said that but it sound right to me. You know what else sounds right? Running as many Trumpists like Mitch McConnell, Richard Burr, Kevin Cramer, Devon nunes and any other Trump lovers out on an election rail. You can do this by kicking in a single, $2 or $5 or more bucks to any candidate running against the GOP. This is not a big ask, we can do this! Don’t have any quan to kick in? Donate time. You can volunteer to call people or text them. Please, our democracy depends on you! My Seattle cousin fronted $500 for a taco truck in Fresno to do voter registration. Grassroots works. If you want to give $5 bucks to a campaign, do it. Or maybe make up your own mailer and use the $5 to buy postage to mail your own heartfelt thought to random folks in a particular voting district. Democracy is not a spectator sport, get involved! Sweep the spineless GOP out of the Senate along with this feckless phuque of a president.

Beautiful parallel to his Covid failure. Putin must be so proud of him and Moscow Mitch!!

as far fetch as that story went, i believe it more than the Rump’s version

Beautiful parallel to ALL of his debacles over the last 3 1/2 years; ignore, deflect, ignore, deny, ignore, ignore, use the phrase “they say” or “some people say”, blame Obama, then declare victory, close the files.

That’s the most he’s ever responded or listened to a security briefing. I can see Russia doing this as retaliation for our giving weapons to the freedom fighters when Russia was there. Our weapons killed their soldiers. It’s called payback.

Those soldiers are not a political comment! They were real live human beings with families and friends who mourn them. Their deaths were tragedies. Questions should be asked as to why Americans are still in Afghanistan and what possible good they can do there.

He actually “hopes” the plague will blow over “soon”.

Trump treats Putin really well, and he is letting the USA die of covid.

If only his parents had used ‘protection’…

100% ACCURATE!

The faces are different at each briefing, because the Rump keeps firing everybody who stops praising him for long enough to take a breath.

They’re killing American soldiers with Covid?

Note the similarity to the response to everything that happened in the last 3+ years.

Conservative pundit Michael Gerson: “Outrages committed by President Donald Trump generally come in an undifferentiated mass of scandals, travesties, betrayals, absurdities, and abuses of the public trust. Consider recent days. The president approvingly retweeted a video of a supporter shouting ‘white power’ to distract from his apparent inaction on Russian-paid contract murders of American troops, which had drawn attention away from his tragically botched pandemic response. This is an enormity, wrapped in a treachery, inside a debacle. Discerning a hierarchy of depravity among Trump’s provocations is not easy. His increasingly strident racism is complicating America’s reckoning with current injustice and grave historical crimes. His politically motivated sabotage of essential public health measures has likely cost thousands of lives. [note from Godfreydaniel: Probably a hundred thousand, and counting, are directly attributable to Trump’s dishonesty, cowardice, imbecility, and insanity] But there is something uniquely debased about a commander-in-chief who receives the salutes of soldiers while his administration does nothing about credible information on a plot to kill them.”

And this also from Gerson, a little later in his column: “It is possible that Trump disbelieved his briefers, on the theory that the so-called ‘deep state’ was once again trying to undermine his brillian strategy of preemptive concessions to the Russians on every front. But this explanation requires admitting that the president actually believes in insane [emphasis added] conspiracy theories about his own government. And this raises serious questions about his mental capacity. […] Trump has a long history ofmaking excuses for despots. And this ethical failure makes him incapable of the most elementary skill of statecraft: distinguishing enemies from friends. Trump’s apparent failure of nerve in confronting Russian aggression reveals a man unworthy to be commander-in-chief.”

“Mutiny On The Bounty” was one of my all time favorite movies, Trump tweeted in April.

I guess now we know why the word “bounty” happened to be in his head.

who would putin on his head? He wouldn’t get rid of his lackey.

Oh, I see what Bolling did there – he done conflated two seperate things that are in the news cycle now – HA!

Well, he’s not wrong!
