Okay, I fully realize that I live in
bizarro, right-wing land where the rules of common sense and
rationality have not only left the building but boarded a plane under
an assumed name and fled the country. Case in point is one of my
coworkers, an admitted extreme homophobe, he nonetheless swoons over
Trump to the point homoerotic elements of his admiration more than
occasionally creep into his lengthy praise sessions.
Exaggeration? No, not when he gets that
awe inspired look on his face and consistently describes the Orange
Buffoon as a “man's man who has done it all in life.” His
adulation of OB gets increasingly weirder, given his homophobic
views, that I often come close to laughing at the guy. Something I
cannot do because open ridicule would probably cost me my job.
But the one common point this
individual shares with other Trump supporters is the delusion that OB
is a firm, commanding leader who doesn't apologize about America and
its actions to the rest of the world. More to the point Trump
supporters, of all types, seem to believe he doesn't take any shit
from anyone and is a superb Commander-in-Chief looking after the
nation's interest. However the reality of OB's true nature has once
again become exposed to anyone with a microgram of rationality and
objectivity.
Case in point is that the New York
Times is reporting that American intelligence has become aware that
the GRU, Russian military intelligence, has offered bounties on every
American and NATO soldier killed in Afghanistan. The New York Times,
further reported that the Orange Buffoon and his staff, including the
Vice President, were briefed on this development in late March.
Now of course, Orange Buffoon
supporters don't believe a thing coming from the New York Times. And
I admit, the Old Grey Lady is screwed the pooch many times, but when
it comes to who I believe in this surreal nightmare we've been living
in since November 2016, I'm going with the journalists.
What once again reinforces the view
that Trump is just a toady for the murderous thug, Vlad Putin is the
confusing reaction from the White House staff. Latest blonde bimbo
press secretary, Kayleigh McEnay say that neither OB or Pence have
been briefed on this situation. While the Times goes on to say the
White House held expanded briefings on the intelligence assessment
and that possible responses include a sternly worded compliant to
Moscow. Oh Hell, my bunny slippers just ran for cover.
While this is going on the Orange
Buffoon is sending 200 American ventilators to help Russia with their
Covid-19 outbreaks. Russian coronavirus cases neared 300,000
Wednesday, which is surprising because just a few weeks prior their
news media was saying they had the situation firmly under control. In
fact, before Russia finally admitted they were having trouble with
Covid, several doctors mysterious fell out of hospital windows. The
key point here is that each of these doctors attempted to inform the
Russian public about the outbreak before the Putin government was
ready.
So help me here, the Russia government
is paying Afghan insurgents to kill American and allied troops. At
the same time the Orange Buffoon is constantly talking crap about
anyone in this country who dares to suggest we do not have the
coronavirus under control.
You would think a strong, commanding
leader would tell the Russians to, at a minimum, kiss our asses.
Trump has said worse to our longtime democratic allies who have stood
by us over the decades. Yes, you can correctly surmise that I am not
a fan of Russia in any shape or form.
More to the point, Trump's infatuation
with Putin is quite similar to my coworkers misguided affection
towards him. Which given how Trump hasn't said a word about the
bounties placed on the heads of American troops shows how his
supporters don't have any clue about what it means to be patriotic. I
am just so fraking tired dealing with idiots.

It's just crazy making.
Hang in there and be sure to vote in November, which can't come quick enough.
