Seriously? A literal GOLDEN IDOL for worship of Trump?
A once-respected (even those of us who disagreed with them could respect depth of thought and reason in a William F Buckley Jr or a George Will) party has truly devolved into a TrumpubliQan Qrazy Qonservative Qult of Qool-Aid-drinking Qonspiracy theorists.
The Golden CALF has grown up to become the Golden BULLpooper — both FALSE IDOLS.
Actually it is not real gold; it is FOOLS’ GOLD.
Also, they are making plans for a Second Coming of their fake “messiah.” (If he is going to be their new messiah, nail his sorry @$$ to a cross and if he comes back three days later he can be crowned king of Mar-A-Lago.)
No wonder they don’t accept the science of evolution — they have seen their party DEVOLVE from Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight D Eisenhower into Nixon, then Reagan, then the Bushes, then Sarah Palin and now Donald Trump, who has become their new savior.
The sad thing, it’s taken Scott this long to finally admit Trump was – this bad. What I’m waiting for is the admission that, in the end, the “bunny” wasn’t nearly as bad as the “skunk.”
But at this point, does it matter? Even if he did, it would still be too little, and way too late.
I am sorry fellas but I just can’t read into this a s just funny as hell. I remember the bunny and the skunk and even the snake but this reminds me of the golden calf I can’t stop laughing. I was born one month after FDR was sworn in. I am on President 15 and still kicking. We will make it through this one and the ones after this one, I would like it if no one calls me a troll. I changed my avatar once and my name three so I don’t upset someone Cheers
Well I’ve been too ridiculously busy to come into comments, but anybody else thinking Biden’s stubborn refusal to be controversial is forcing Fox’s lies to be more and more absurd? The golden calf thin is just old at this point. … Hmmm, I’ll just leave the “thin” there instead of “thing”…
The weirdest thing about them making this guy a god is that he isn’t even an impressive MAN. He’s petty, ignorant, vain, and foolish. A tantrum-throwing toddler with a loud mouth, which they obviously think is a very impressive trait. They talk about “alpha males,” but they’re all betas, following the dog with the loudest bark.
Well, there is precedent, and it didn’t turn out well then. But, not unlike the “Trickle Down” theory, the modern adherents will almost certainly tell you, “but the principle is sound.” /s
Yeah, it’s to the point where Poe’s Law could be invoked — it’s impossible to tell satire from sincerely held beliefs when we have a bunch of people proclaiming themselves to be conservatives and Christians who are, without a shred of irony, lining up to pose for pictures of themselves with a literal golden idol of a man who spends so fast and invests so badly that his own incompetence becomes a tax shelter.
Also from 1932. Grandparents had small farm, were poor, and didn’t want money for not growing. However it was possible then to have enough to live on with a few acres. That would be a laughable effort now, thanks to the inflation needs of capitalism. Undergraduate degree as out of state student in Ohio was $2000 for room, board, and fees. Graduate school at UCLA was free in 1960, now the most wanted college in the U.S. and expensive beyond most family’s incomes. The massive disparity between the wealthy, favored by the republicans, and the average working family is immoral.

I voted for Biden. I am not “in love and completely devoted” to Biden. Support your President. Don’t submit to your President.

I thought political satire was supposed to be more outrageous than reality.
As in, where are the stars-and-stripes shorts and the magic wand?
It’s a hard lift, Scott, but it’s your chosen profession.
