I think I was about 15 the last time I let it happen, but that could just be my memory being self-serving…
Anyway. Stop Making Me Defend Trump. Stop.
But speaking of Trump Derangement Syndrome: Behold! Proof positive at last that Donald Trump is indeed a card-carrying racist!
That’s right, America! The Rolling Stones 1971 smash hit “Brown Sugar” was reportedly played over the PA before the start of a Trump rally … somewhere. As anyone who ever walked past a functioning radio at any moment in any part of the 1970’s knows to his grief, “Brown Sugar” is certainly a race-conscious song. Since it was sung by Mick Jagger, who arguably couldn’t sing, I never really tried that hard to work out the lyrics but even so I was aware that, whatever else its other faults, this song was race-conscious.
Therefore Donald Trump is a racist. Full stop, cue the impeachment. Or…something. I don’t know.
I find myself more and more often tempted to defend Donald Trump, a person I would not ordinarily feel any desire to assist in any way. It’s just that, as appalling as he is, his enemies are positively comical.
“…his enemies are positively comical.”
I would be more inclined to use the word bizarre. Giving it a bit more thought, Salem Witch Trails Hysteria would be even more accurate descriptor.
All the Pant-Shiting-Hysteria going on does make the subject of all the PSH seem reasonable, doesn’t it?
Trump has some good ideas, and has chosen some good personnel picks.
I have a guilty pleasure watching news briefings with Sarah H. Sanders making her ‘Ya gotta be shiting me’ look all the time at the complete stupidity of the newsies.
The ‘Bad Lipreading of White House Press Briefing’ is friggin hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EsUNOIYyKg
Myself I’ve been overcome by the hilarity of watching Democrats who slated McCain in 2008 for being a racist almost turn him into a Saint at his funeral. I remember the book Gook:John McCains racism and why it matters by Irwin Tang and how they constantly pushed it in the press. The same things they say about Trump they said about McCain then. Read the foreword on Google books!
Of course they call trump a racist yet when he bought MarALArgo in 1985 he opened the membership up to blacks and Jews, against stiff opposition too. In 1985 Hillary and Bill were members of the Little Rock Country club which had a whites only membership. Bill played golf their in 1995 and it was still whites only then…… But Trump….. Hell I’m not even American and the hypocrisy gags me thousands of miles away!
