Donald Trump and the Incredibly Shrinking President

As you probably know, Donald Trump has been trying to keep a very low profile ever since he sent out these deranged early morning tweets just over a week ago.




He has turned into the Incredibly Shrinking President, no doubt hoping that Americans will forget all about those tweets, and not question his sanity.

But now he's run out of time.

Why Is Stephen Harper Secretly Funnelling Millions to a Republican Organization?

He likes to pose as a patriot. He likes to have his picture taken in front of a giant Canadian flag.

He's always telling us that only he can save this country from the immigrant enemy within, and vulnerable refugees without. 

He's always reminding us that nobody loves Canada as much as he does, because he wrote a book on hockey.

So now can he please explain why he's secretly funnelling millions of our tax dollars to a Republican organization?

The Ukraine Crisis, the Con Klowns, and the Cold War Warriors

It's hard to imagine a scarier situation than the threat of a superpower confrontation in the Crimean peninsula.

The Obama administration said Monday that any Russian threat to Ukraine's navy would be a "dangerous escalation" of an extremely tense situation. 

The State Department said that Washington would hold Moscow directly accountable for such an escalation but did not elaborate on potential consequences.

Or a scarier sight than the old Cold War warrior John McCain, banging his tin drum for war with Russia. 

John McCain and the Coming War on Iran

It really is the stuff of nightmares. Obama caught in a trap of his own making, and John McCain helping him to dig himself into an even bigger hole.

By getting a U.S. Senate committee to back Obama's punitive missile strike.

In return for an even bigger war:

Obama's War, the Divided Left, and the Syrian Apocalypse

It will be about a week before we know whether Obama will get to fire his missiles at Syria.

But what already painfully obvious is that just his threat to launch them is causing havoc in the ranks of his own supporters. 

Because by now I think I've heard all of these arguments for or against.

Just from my own friends. And the one that scares me the most is this one:

John McCain Confronts the Healthcare Mob

And feels the HATE....



From these kind of CRAZIES....



You know I HATE to say it. And it hurts like hell. But I think I'm forced to conclude.

Amerika is in REAL trouble eh?

And some Cons are better than others....

The Ad That John McCain Refused to Run

Refused to run....even though Sarah Palin and his campaign advisers wanted him to. Even when he knew he was going to lose.

Now imagine what kind of ads Stephen Harper is going to launch against his opponents in the next few weeks?

When the last barrage of radio ads he authorized gave the Parti Quebecois a big boost.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper's comments about Quebec separatists gave the Parti Quebecois a major boost and helped the sovereigntist party close in on the Liberals in the provincial election, a leading pollster said Tuesday.

Jean-Marc Leger, president of Leger Marketing, said a poll suggested 14 per cent of Quebecers changed their vote on the last day, with half making that flip-flop while at the ballot box.

The sovereignists of Pauline Marois who would have played Quebec against English Canada, like Stephen Harper is playing English Canada against Quebec.

At a time of economic crisis like this one.

It says something doesn't it , when Stephen Harper can make a Republican look classy?

And an old warmonger like John McCain can make Stephen Harper look dangerous.

McCain is a hero, Harper is a maniac. And a disgrace to our country.

The sooner this rabid, irresponsible, ideologue is toppled.

The SAFER we will be....

John McCain, the Feminists, and the Stolen Election

Uh oh. Batman. Batman. I think John McCain has flipped his lid. After calling our friend Obama a terrorist and a shady crook now he's back to calling him a dangerous LIBERAL. Golly. And blaming the media and the feminist left !!!!!

"My friends, it's remarkable the comments of the feminist left about Sarah Palin," he said to a chorus of boos. "I want to tell you, I am so proud of the way she has energized America. She is a reformer, she is a great leader, she is the most popular governor in America, and I can hardly wait to introduce her to Washington, D.C."

Holy snowmobile Batman @#$%@ that McCain guy is starting to remind me of some evil genius. I just can't put my gloved finger on it.

Robin Robin. Who else could be so brilliant....and yet so INSANE? But that dastardly tophatted villain....

The PENGUIN.



Gosh Batman not the monocled MANIAC? Holy Mr Peanut what do you think he's going to do next ?

Robin Robin lay off the Bat Pot please. What do you THINK he's going to do now with only two weeks to go? Except try to STEAL the election.

The US presidential election will not be free and fair, because millions of electors will either not be allowed to vote or will not have their votes properly counted. It could cost Barack Obama the White House, even if he wins most of the votes on November 4.... in some states for every new voter registered in the last couple of months, two voters have been removed – negating Obama's massive voter registration drive.

#$%@&# Holy smokes Batman that's SCARY. I hate Amerika. But you're SOOOOO BRILLIANT

Yes Robin I am. Now go gas up the Batmobile at the cheap place around the corner.

Because we've got WORK to do....

When You Open Pandora's Box....

....it's sometimes really hard to stuff the demons back in the box again.



Especially when you keep running ads like this one.


And forget the lessons of history.

Once he was THE MESSIAH. Remember?



Now he's the Terrorist Anti-Christ. And some Americans are AFRAID of him.

Once I used to laugh at Sarah Palin and her Christianist demons. Now I'm afraid of what of what real demons she might unleash.

I keep having this horrible nightmare.

The demons of ignorance, fear, and hate are loose in Amerika.

And ANYTHING could happen....

From the Theatre of the Absurd...

Don Martin discovers that Stephen Harper has a secret weapon.

"I use my mother as an obvious example because she is the person closest to me most worried about the stock market these days. Believe me, I get quicker updates from her on the stock market than from the department of finance."

Oh really? If you believe that then I'm sure you'll believe this guy.

Meanwhile in the United States ..... the McCain/Palin ticket tries to portray Obama as not American enough to be President. And one out of three white voters believe it.

Polling by the Pew Research Center last month reveals that only 63% of white voters say Obama is patriotic. (That's 32 points fewer than McCain, and 13 points fewer than Hillary Clinton got among all voters in March.) When asked by Pew in May what they dislike about McCain, the overwhelming majority of respondents cited his political views. In Obama's case, however, nearly a third also mentioned "the kind of person he is."

While Andrew Sullivan wonders what would happen if Poppy McCain was flying the United States when he suddenly croaked.

And Sarah Palin was Karen Black....


Only to have a reader set him straight.

While I just wish that if Poppy is going to croak he does it BEFORE the election.












So the rednecks and the white trash that support him can go back to fucking their pigs.

And Sarah Palin can go skating.

Had enough? I don't blame you.

We may have a Mummy Boy as Prime Minister. But at least he's going to get his ass wiped. MOMMMMMMMY I'M DOOOOONE !!!!!

While in the United States of Amerika madness runs wild

And ANYTHING could happen...

John McCain: Colonel Kurtz or Hound Dog?

I must admit I wasn't able to watch much of the Obama-McCain Town Hall tonight. It was just too boring. And too SCARY.

Just the thought that little old hobbit hopping around that stage blubbering my friends my friends in that creepy voice ....or grinning maniacally....might be President of the United States gave me the SHIVERS.

The horror...the horror...

See more funny videos at Funny or Die

Scary eh? But never mind the Colonel Kurtz number. I just wish Johnny McCain would stop calling himself moral. Because he isn't.

Forget the nepotism, the lobbyists, and his volcanic temper.

At least three of McCain's GOP colleagues have gone on record to say that they consider him temperamentally unsuited to be commander in chief. Smith, the former senator from New Hampshire, has said that McCain's "temper would place this country at risk in international affairs, and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, it should disqualify him." Sen. Domenici of New Mexico has said he doesn't "want this guy anywhere near a trigger." And Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi weighed in that "the thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded."

He's not just a dangerous chickenhawk he's a horny HOUND DOG !!

"I enjoyed the off-duty life of a Navy flier more than I enjoyed the actual flying," McCain writes. "I drove a Corvette, dated a lot, spent all my free hours at bars and beach parties." McCain chased a lot of tail. He hit the dog track. Developed a taste for poker and dice. He picked up models when he could, screwed a stripper when he couldn't.

With a close friend at the base, an alcoholic Marine captain, McCain formed the "Key Fess Yacht Club," which quickly became infamous for hosting toga parties in the officers' quarters and bringing bands down from Memphis to attract loose women to the base. Showing his usual knack for promotion, McCain rose from "vice commodore" to "commodore" of the club.

Whatever his dreams of getting laid in Rio, he got plenty of ass during his command post in Jacksonville. According to biographer Robert Timberg, McCain seduced his conquests on off-duty cross-country flights — even though adultery is a court-martial offense. He was also rumored to be romantically involved with a number of his subordinates.

You know once I thought he was just senile.

But now I'm wondering whether it's SYPHILIS.

President Poppy....in a toga.

The horror, the horror..

----------------------------------------------------------------------

P.S. The good news? Sarah Palin's new video is now available.

John McCain and the Big Iraq Lie

As I watched the Presidential debate tonight I wondered whether Obama would fall for John McCain's Big Iraq Lie. And sure enough he did.

He allowed McCain to claim that The Surge was a big success....and that the United States was winning the war in Iraq.

“Senator Obama doesn’t understand the difference between a tactic and a strategy.” Mr. McCain also that “Senator Obama refuses to acknowledge that we are winning in Iraq.”

“That’s not true, that’s not true,” Mr. Obama muttered.

Which made McCain look like a wise soldier, instead of a senile idiot.

Because as I pointed out recently, The Surge is a mirage. And the only winners are the mullahs in Iran.

And because of that, victory in Iraq is more like a nightmare....especially for women and gay people.

Large parts of Iraq are now under the de facto control of the militias and their death squad units. They enforce a harsh interpretation of sharia law, summarily executing people for what they denounce as "crimes against Islam". These "crimes" include listening to western pop music, wearing shorts or jeans, drinking alcohol, selling videos, working in a barber's shop, homosexuality, dancing, having a Sunni name, adultery and, in the case of women, not being veiled or walking in the street unaccompanied by a male relative.

It is a death sentence in today's "liberated" Iraq to love a person of the same sex, or for a woman to have sex outside of marriage, or for a Muslim to give up his or her faith or embrace another religion.

Even children suspected of being gay are abducted and later found shot in the head.
















They destroyed the only secular country in the region, where women were relatively liberated, gays were relatively safe, and turned it into a slaughterhouse run by religious fanatics, who take their orders from America's biggest and most dangerous enemy.

That's not victory, that's defeat written large. Or just insanity.

But Obama either bought the myth that the surge was a success, or he knew he couldn't fight it. Because he let John McCain get away with murder. He let a dangerous myth sound like the truth again. And it will come back to bite him.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the war that should have won the election for the Democrats...ended up losing it for them?

Because the truth didn't set us free. The screams of the women and gays of Iraq fell on deaf ears.

Obama bought the biscuit.

And the Big Lie killed us all...

John McCain and the Closet Queen

Hold the pool game, turn up the music, put on your party hats. It's time to celebrate.

It turns out John McCain's Chief of Staff is a great big closet queen.

You know I used to hate closet queens, because when I came out at the age of twelve nobody else did. So I had to fight the bullies all by myself. Until Sébastien came along, four years later, to stop me from killing them.

But now that I'm not in school, I just feel sorry for closet cases. I still think they're pathetic. But I would never out one.

Except if he was a right-wing Republican, helping a man who is trying to hurt us.

John McCain is opposed to every single gay rights measure of recent years –- from a hate crimes bill, to an anti-discrimination bill to an attempt to repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gays in the military –- and is publicly on record supporting a ballot measure in California this November to strip gays and lesbians there of their legally-won right to marry in that state.

Hurt the parents of these kids....



Then if I had to I would call the nutbars from Focus on the Family myself

Because this Con closet case deserves what he's going to get.

And hell is too good for him...

-----------------------------------------------------

P.S. On the other hand if they sent him to Sarah Palin's School for Curing Homosexuality. I might be more merciful.

Because now that I think about it.......six months of wanking and wailing in Wasilla in winter, should be MORE than good enough...

Is Sarah Palin the Anti-Christ?

So I'm watching CNN's breathless coverage of Sarah Palin's arrival in Alaska last night. Anderson Cooper is so excited he keeps repeating over and over again that CNN is the ONLY network carrying it live.

The reporter at the airport is going on about how many in the large crowd waiting to welcome her home are carrying large plastic red lips. And how MOVING it must be for the Palin family, since her husband finishes his snowmobile races right across the street. Wow.

And then suddenly there SHE is. The Queen of Darkness. The redneck from Wasilla.


















And now the crowd is going WILD. Some organizer with a bullhorn is trying to get them to chant McCain-Palin...but the mob is screaming Sarah!!!! Sarah !!!! And waving those big red lips.

When David Gergen is asked what he thinks about all this he says he finds it "rare to the point of being bizarre."

But I'm wondering whether The Barracuda is the Anti-Christ. Because she's managed to turn everything upside down. Experience is bad, ignorance is strength, all you need to be President is be a Mom, and if you have a child with a bun in the oven even better.

She's just as flawed as we are," Tweddle said. "It's not the fact that she's a woman but the way she does it all. And let me tell you: There're more American parents with unwed pregnant teenaged children than American parents with Harvard grads. She's real."

And if you write Wasilla backwards it comes out to ALL I SAW. And all I see is madness.

Oh I know she still has her first interview to prep for. And Maureen Dowd has some choice words about that....and some tough questions.

Does she really think Adam, Eve, Satan and the dinosaurs mingled on the earth 5,000 years ago?

Does she talk in tongues or just eat caribou tongues?

And Andrew Sullivan has the obvious follow up video.

But when I see Sarah Palin I don't see My Fair Lady.

I see a hideous Christianist zealot, trying to make ignorance a virtue, riding a wave of popular hysteria fanned by the idiot media.

And a movie that's more like this one...



Tell me when this nightmare is over. I don't dare look anymore. Who knew mindless celebrity culture could lead to fascism and nuclear war?

The idiot chickens have come home to roost. The train called America is heading for The Abyss.

And I wonder if anyone can stop it....

Obama-McCain-Palin: Now it's Personal

As Sarah Palin continues to heat up the airwaves and the blogosphere,and gets her own action figure. *Shudder*

Thomas Friedman wonders why Obama has gone so cold.

I confess, I watch politics from afar, but here’s what I’ve been feeling for a while: Whoever slipped that Valium into Barack Obama’s coffee needs to be found and arrested by the Democrats because Obama has gone from cool to cold.

Somebody needs to tell Obama that if he wants the chance to calmly answer the phone at 3 a.m. in the White House, he is going to need to start slamming down some phones at 3 p.m. along the campaign trail. I like much of what he has to say, especially about energy, but I don’t think people are feeling it in their guts, and I am a big believer that voters don’t listen through their ears. They listen through their stomachs.

But maybe that will change because now it's PERSONAL.



First they portrayed him as going after white women. Now they're distorting his position to make it sound like he's going after the children.

And Obama is firing back.



And calling a pig a pig.

"You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig. You can wrap up an old fish in a piece of paper and call it change. It's still going to stink after eight years. We've had enough."

Finally.

The lesson for the progressive side in the Canadian election campaign?

Forget about trying to educate the public in about 30 days. Forget the empty rhetoric or the fancy plans.

Stephen Harper is a pig trying to put on lipstick.

So go for the gut...

McCain, The Barracuda, and the Vampire Slayer

Ever since John McCain shocked the world with his choice for VP chick , rube Hillary ,candidate.

Scared the Bejesus out of everyone, and insulted women everywhere.

The idea that women are going to race off to vote for any candidate with the same internal plumbing is both offensive and historically wrong. When the sexes have parted company in modern elections, it’s generally been because women are more likely to be Democrats, and more concerned about protecting the social safety net.

This year, Hillary Clinton took things to a whole new level. She didn’t run for president as a symbol but as the best-prepared candidate in the Democratic pack. Whether you liked her or not, she convinced the nation that women could be qualified to both run the country and be commander in chief. That was an enormous breakthrough, and Palin’s nomination feels, in comparison, like a step back.

I've also been troubled by a number of other questions.

Like how big is that rube village she was mayor of in Alaska?

Whatever gave that glorified dogcatcher the idea she could run a country of more than 300-million, when she's publicly admitted she hasn't a clue what a VP does? Her PTA experience?

And while we're at it, what kind of person would call her kids, Trig, Track, Bristol, Willow and Piper?

And is Willow named after a tree, and Piper after a plane?

Or are they named after two of the characters in Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

You know Willow the Good Witch and Piper the Demon Slayer....



Because if they are, I think it propels Palin's hockey mum snowmobile tale into a whole new dark dimension.

Where Putin is Satan. Russia and Eye-ran are his demonic kingdoms. Nook-ular is God's burning vengeful light. Oil is the blood of Jesus. Abortion is MURDER. Even if you're raped, or your daddy makes you pregnant.

Gay marriage is worse than all of the above. And Armageddon is the beginning rather than the END.

Barracuda.... The Vampire Slaying President? The Christian Dominionist anti-choice homophobe STEALTH candidate? The hockey mum/demon killer ? One heartbeat away from the Presidency?

BTW didn't you think Palin's Vampira black power suit was....um..... bewitching?

Quick !!!! Check Poppy's life support system.

Garlic anyone?

John McCain and The Barracuda

So I'm sitting in a Florida airport this morning and I'm really cooked. It's so hot and humid outside it feels like a hundred degrees. I don't know how I survived. And now I'm not sure I will.

Two dangerous looking gangsta types are having a loud argument right in front of me and Sébastien. I'm thinking uh oh this is bad. I'm in Amerika. I've seen it on the First 48. First come the angry words.... and then comes the gunfire.

Then I look up at the TV and there is John McCain introducing The Barracuda.

And suddenly I'm not worried about the gangstas anymore. I'm laughing my fucking ass off. And so are the gangstas !!!

I mean really.

Is John McCain, who is 72- years-old and has had four episodes of a deadly skin cancer, seriously suggesting that Sarah Palin, who less than two years ago was mayor of some rube village somewhere in Alaska, and who he has only met once, should be left one faltering heartbeat away from the Presidency?

A woman who is being investigated for abusing her powers in the case of her brother-in-law and her sister's messy divorce. Who says Eye-ran and Eye-rak, and admits she doesn't have a clue what a Vice President does?

And if so....and McCain actually thinks he's made a brilliant maverick move.... who is the village idiot I wonder ? Or is Poppy's judgement impaired by creeping dementia?

Never mind the fact that he is undermining his own argument about Obama's lack of experience.

But does he really think he can win over disaffected Hillary supporters with a religious fanatic creationist who wouldn't allow abortion even in the case of rape and incest ?

But who would allow oil companies to drill ANYWHERE, and loves guns more than polar bears.




















Who says they aren't threatened, even though they are drowning.

Won't that make a nice campaign ad?

The only thing I regret is that Hillary won't get a chance to debate Palin because she would OBLITERATE her.

But that's more than made up for by my sheer joy at watching the Republicans and the Blogging Tories twisting in the wind......trying to turn shit into gold.

Huh? Could they be googling frantically because they've never heard of this rube? The idiot wingnut who could be ONE heartbeat away from the Presidency. *Shudder*

Look I don't know how bad this is going to get...I'm hoping really ugly. But two things are for sure.

One....Poppy just showed everyone what rotten judgement he has.

And two....at the Democrat Disco tonight.....

They'll be playing this song.



And who can blame them?

Poppy just committed Poppy-kiri. Put on your party hats everyone !!!

This campaign is OVER.

Before it even began....

Obama, Biden, and the Black Sheriff

I must admit that right until the end I kept hoping that Obama would choose Hillary as his running mate. It would have been such a fairytale ending. The Wicked Witch of the East reborn as the Fairy Godmother.

But now that I've seen Obama and Joe Biden together I think they'll make a good combination.

Biden can pound the shit out of that fuddy duddy fraud McCain in some grubby Irish bar. Smack. Whack. Ouch. Don't hit me I'm a POW !!!!!!!!

While Obama skips daintily down the High Road.

But I still wonder whether Biden....or anyone.... can help Obama with his biggest problem.

Because there's an ugly streak in America.

And old attitudes die hard....


That's what it's all about isn't it?

If Americans can't see beyond their prejudices. And let Obama and his new deputy clean up and save their country.

They won't get another chance....

-----------------------------------------------


h/t Jesus' General

John McCain Can't Even Count

As if John McCain wasn't scary enough.

An old Cold War warrior trapped in a past he can't quite remember.

Now he can't count.



Muahahaha. Who is an elitist now?

In a YouTube world it's the simple message that counts. The one that fits into the narrative that John McCain is a fuddy duddy who just doesn't get it. So this one is going to HURT.

Which makes me wonder why we don't see more YouTubes about Stephen Harper's foul Con government.

Why haven't the opposition parties been able to come up with three or four simple narratives that encapsulate the horror and the danger of the Con regime? Simplify the choices for Canadians....and prepare the ground for the next election.

And why hasn't the progressive blogosphere done its part?

Are we just old fashioned? Or just old? Are we out of it ? Or is it because we're so divided we can't come up with a common narrative?

But prefer to chase many points of light without realizing they come from the same source. Or fight among ourselves. Or pay attention to the blogging scum. Or play old people Facebook games like who is a "Kick Ass Blogger" and who isn't.

Less than two months to go before an election.

That could decide the future of Canada.

YouTubes anyone?

John McCain and the Cone of Silence

Uh oh. It looks as if reality finally caught up with John McCain. Like a fork chasing a sausage....or an old banger.

It seems that when he was supposed to be in a Cone of Silence during the Saddleback Jump-up Jesus Fest. He was only wearing a traffic cone.

Senator John McCain was not in a “cone of silence” on Saturday night while his rival, Senator Barack Obama, was being interviewed at the Saddleback Church in California.

Members of the McCain campaign staff, who flew here Sunday from California, said Mr. McCain was in his motorcade on the way to the church as Mr. Obama was being interviewed by the Rev. Rick Warren...

Now I don't know if McCain was listening on the radio, or his campaign team was making phonecalls or receiving text messages. Or whether Poppy put on a Guantanamo hood so he couldn't hear or see a thing.

But I must say one part of his conversation with Rick Warren really makes me wonder.

The part where Poppy just about bust his britches when he said this:

McCAIN -- And by the way, Justices Alito and Roberts are two of my most recent favorites, by the way. They really are. They are very fine. (LAUGHTER).

What he said and the way he said it seemed like he was replying to what Obama had said about Roberts. And the audience thought so too because they LAUGHED.

So his campaign's outrage seems a little forced.

“The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous..”

But of course the point is he could have cheated. Or since they keep bringing it up...lied about his POW experience.

Or that ridiculous cross in the dirt.

Where did all the witnesses go?

The answer my friends is blowing in the wind.

Poppy we hardly know you.

Play me that video again...
