Weekend At Donnie's!!

 What a weekend for the Fuehrer. He had to ramble on to West Point grads, go deal with Russia and China, then appear at Arlington National Cemetery to honor the dead. Hahaha! Who am I kidding? He played golf on the taxpayer's dime as usual. The rest was simply an inconvenience to the Traitor in Chief.

On Saturday the Felon showed up at West Point to address the 1000 or so graduates with a rip-roaring speech to congratulate them on their huge accomplishment. Hahaha again, no he talked about himself with his stupid red hat on cuz his hair might get blown off by a stiff wind. 

Trump wandered off into dementia land by telling the graduates a story about William Levitt, a real estate developer who croaked in the 1990s. Very similar to that sex yacht story he told to Boy Scouts in his first term. He rambled on about how Levitt got himself a "trophy wife" then said how that doesn't work out, the trophy wife because he knows all about that. Hello Melania! Then it was NATO and the old ripping us off speech. The Alfonse Capone riff, the no more DEI rant to a bunch of grads that included women, blacks, browns and probably gays. And finally, how nobody joined the military during the Biden years even though all 1000 of them DID join the service during the Biden years.

Speaking of Biden, who stuck around last year to personally shake the hands of all 1000 graduates, this year Trump had important shit to do so he had to leave early, something about dealing with Russia and China which is code for I have a tee time to get to so fuck off suckers and losers. I'm sure he shot a new course record of 18.

Then came Monday when the Bone Spur in Chief went to Arlington National Cemetery along with his drunken Defense Secretary and some bearded hillbilly to give yet another solemn speech about the suckers and losers who allowed themselves to be killed when he much prefers guys who didn't get killed, as long as they didn't lose limbs cuz who wants to see that?

 The Babbler in Chief went on after his forced message about the ultimate sacrifice and all that stuff he's supposed to talk about. Instead, he again veered off into incoherent gibberish about how Gawd put him in this place at this time, how bad the last four years were and then how he got the Olympics and the World Cup personally even though he shouldn't even be in office now because the 2020 election was "stollen". But Gawd had other ideas for Saint Donnie. Let's hope there's a new plan. Then he took a sharp right and began pimping his birthday parade which of course will be bigger than the Olympics AND the World Cup combined because it's HIM. The 79th anniversary of his birth via a jackal. Oh, he says it's about the 250th anniversary of the Army's founding but we all know he will be sitting there getting a mushroom boner watching tanks and planes and guns and marching bands playing YMCA while thinking about himself. It's my BIRTHDAY!! Bring me some cake! 

If the rest of the world has any sense, nobody comes here for the Olympics OR the World Cup in the atmosphere of Trumps Gestapo runs around picking up anybody who looks foreign. In fact, nobody from a foreign nation should ever come here, spend money and improve the American economy as long as this bigoted lump is in charge. Did tourists, other than 1935 version of MAGAts, go to Germany to enjoy the slaughter? 

Look, this weekend was a culmination of idiots, from Trump to his two ass lickers, Hegseth and Vance standing at every stupid thing he said, to his fucking golfing with Russia and China. 

The real sadness of this weekend is that America elected a doddering old senile blabbermouth without an iota of couth. Maybe somebody will write a book about the dangers of electing old white men to high office. Hey, what's happenin' Jake Tapper?

Free Press? Sycophantic Press Is More Like It!

 So the newest obsession of the Trump sycophantic press is to continue to beat that dead horse of an issue that Joe Biden is senile. Blah blah blah. The book by Jake Tapper, Original Sin, in which Biden's advisors and "democrats" like Jon Favreau and David Plouffe pitch the gossip and opinions that sell books. Biden is old, remember?

Meanwhile, the current President of the United States, a rambling thin-skinned felon, posts rants in the dead of the night demanding investigations of Beyonce and Bruce Springsteen, insults Taylor Swifts looks, insults Bruce's skin (?) and seems to be having some sort of mental crisis. But the press, soooo close to losing it all, continues to hammer the prior administration, not on a policy level but on a 100% personal level. They settle ridiculous lawsuits with a liar, a fraud and a political thug like Trump to placate his paper-thin epidermis and look out for what the free press cares about the most. Not the "free" part but the protection of profits and their own multi-million-dollar gigs. Journalism is dead, not the horse, but the profession.

Biden's decline is as relevant as a week-old gallon of milk sitting out on the counter. Keep RFK away from it. While obsessing over an 82 year old ex-president and ignoring the deportation of 4-year-old American cancer patients, a $400 million dollar bribe from a terrorist supporting government, the potential suspension of habeas corpus, and a madman railing about a singer. 

Wait what? Joe Biden has an aggressive form of prostate cancer metastasized to the bones? Oh no Jake Tapper, that sucks for you. Your "scoop" on the fact Biden is old really got buried by that little tidbit didnt it? 

Fuck cancer, we can all agree on that, right? Guess not. Magats and their lefty useful idiots obsessed with Gaza say right on. Kill Biden with cancer. You can do it. They love cancer getting the right person almost as much as they hate libtards and Jews. 

Meanwhile, a sitting congresswoman, LaMonica McIver, has been charged by parking garage attorney Alina Habba Dabba Do and the latest unqualified goof appointed by a felon, with federal charges in regard to the dust up at the ICE concentration camp in New Jersey. You may remember the protest, in which the Mayor of Newark was detained, where ICE agents opened the gates, let the protesters in and then promptly fell on the fainting couch and screamed "invasion". McIver was protecting the Mayor and may have pushed some ICE thug away thus sending that agent into some sort of victim mode and cry a lot. McIver "assaulted" a fed. JFC come on now. These ICE goons assault people on a daily basis, disappear women and children, arrest the wrong people cuz they look brown and that's a crime to them and act like the Proud Boys, Three Percenters and Jan 6 hooligans they probably are. Hang tough Congresswoman, they got nuthin.

Hamilton!

 I've seen Hamilton 5 times now and it gets better each time. The more ya know the more ya appreciate the entire story. The Lin Manuel Miranda phenomenon may have faded a bit but the packed house in Omaha last night didn't seem to notice. Yeah, it's a decade old now and tours constantly while still being a Broadway staple but goddamit I'll wait for it every time it comes around.

The packed house was full of younger people fresh from whatever schools they attend. And the electricity began immediately. From the opening notes of Alexander Hamilton, they cheered loudly. They cheered loudly when the song ended. They cheered loudly for the remainder of the 2 1/2-hour spectacle.

We all know the story. Hamilton the son of a whore, comes to New York to do something with his life, which he treats like a burden that will end sooner than later. He becomes a lawyer, meets Aaron Burr, joins the revolution to kick the Brits out, marries Eliza Schuyler, becomes an absent Dad, has an affair, has his career ruined, loses his son in a duel defending his father's honor, and subsequently is killed in a duel himself that seems more like suicide than honor. Thats the story.

The musical itself is epic in its songs, its youthful exuberance and its performances. In the current touring company, there are no weak performances. The big voice needed from Angelica (Lauren Mariasoosay) is there and the big voice needed from George Washington (A D Weaver) is there. Both received huge applause.

Hamilton is played by Tyler Fauntleroy, who has the moves and the look to make it work. Marja Harmon is Eliza and plays Hamilton's long-suffering wife with grace and sadness. Aaron Burr is played by Jimmy JJ Jeter as the milquetoast politician without a principle he wishes to put forth. The feud between Hamilton and Burr is real. One stands for nothing, and one can't stop standing for everything. The inevitable end is apparent from the get-go. All these actors are first rate.

Now for the characters that never stop entertaining. Jared Howelton plays the dual role of Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson, and he does both justice and more. Howelton plays Lafayette with vigor but when he becomes Jefferson in Act 2 and descends down those stairs milking the crowd the play takes a turn for the better. Howelton has a rubber face and a great voice. His facial expressions and Prince like 'tude make the story. He hates Hamilton because he represents his main rival. The gloating of Jefferson as Hamiltons scandal comes forth is prized comedy. He aint never gonna become President. He is phenomenal.

King George, the comic relief that Lin Manuel Maranda brilliantly put in the musical at perfectly appropriate times, is played by Justin Matthew Sargent. He glides onto the stage like he's floating on air and delivers the 3 songs everyone loves. He adds comic relief when he steps up on his tippy toes to appear taller than the woman informing him about John Adams. He makes the King his own character. It's brilliant.

The sound at the Orpheum still leaves a lot to be desired. It seemed like Act 2 made the sound worse. The orchestra sometimes drowned out the lyrics which could confuse people not familiar with what's happening. But if you are a Hamilton veteran, it doesn't matter, you know exactly what's happening.

Sorry but I am a fanboy. It never gets old. If I could, I'd see it again tonight. But if you want to experience a 10-year-old phenomenon, take it. Highly entertaining and informative. Thats how you teach America it's history.

Cuz ya know "immigrants we get the job done". The line never fails to hit hard. In this day of anti DEI and anti-immigrant prejudice, the fact a play with mostly black and Latino folk still draws huge crowds makes it hopeful that this asshole America will end. Soon please.

Did You Hear That Joe Was Old?

 Did ya hear the "bombshell " news? Joe Biden is old. He was old in 2024. Did y'all know that?

Jake Tapper, CNN's guy that both sides hate, has a new book coming out called Original Sin in which Tapper and his coauthor, Alex Thompson, Axios's guy that both sides hate, tell us that Joe Biden was old. Yeah, no shit. Did I want him to run again? Nope. When he decided to run did I throw a tantrum? Nope. When he dropped out after shitting the bed on national television during that debate did I despair? Nope. When Kamala Harris lost did I despair? You are goddamned right I did.

Tapper can write whatever he wants. He can sell books galore by stating the obvious, But the excerpts that have been released are misleading. Sure, the public was bombarded with daily reports that Biden was too old. The guy walked funny (probably because he busted his foot in 2020 and didn't wear the boot long enough), he spoke in an old man whisper, and quite frankly he was the perfect foil for the other old man who said stupid shit all the fucking time. In normal times, a presidential candidate stating "They're eating the dogs they're eating the cats" would have been laughed out of the race, but these are not normal times.

While Tapper has plenty of information in the last 100 days to report, ya know the Nazi crap and the outright bribery of a gutter thief, but he decided to rehash the past to write a book saying Biden was old. GASP! This is proof Tapper has no fucking idea of what's important. Joe Biden is old pales in comparison to Donald Trump is a fucking Nazi. But you go right ahead Jake. Tell the people the obvious. They will be fascinated to finally learn what they already knew.

The word BOMBSHELL has been plastered all over. The "bombshell" is that Old Joe Biden, had he won (which of course is ludicrous) might have needed a wheelchair. You know, like FDR and that prick from Texas. Oh, the horrors. But the real misleading part of the "Bombshell" is the whole wheelchair "scandal" was based on a what if. IF Joe Biden had tumbled off his bike again, like he did that once that became a MAGAt gif, and IF he hurt himself real bad, like IF he had busted a hip or a leg, he may have needed a wheelchair to get around for a while. And THAT was unacceptable to his blabby aides.

This stuff in this book is more like a novel. Biden was 82. Nobody is better at 82 than they were at 62. The mental decline happens to EVERYBODY. Including 78-year-old whackadoodles without a living brain cell in their noggin. I mean come on; the 78-year-old economic illiterate took a roaring economy and fucked it up in literal weeks. But Tapper would rather bring up that somebody somewhere said Biden didn't recognize George Clooney once. Shit I'm not sure I would either in a room full of celebrities. Theres a thing like too much perfect makes you blind. But Joe was old.

Chrissakes, we have a regime of Fox News nitwits, 1893 tariffs, rising prices, a gang of Gestapo running around throwing women with babies in their arms to the cement, planes crashing, air traffic controllers losing contact for 90 seconds at a time, a South African ketamine addict and a band of cargo shorted incels firing everybody who looks funny to them, drunks sending war plans to journalists and now a $400 million bribe from a terrorist funding country Trump hammered in 2017. 

But Biden was old.

Wow, I'm blown away by the information Jake.

Fascinating.

Hmmmm or Dohhhhh!

 Jesus H Christ it's all so exhausting. New Pope, 100 days of corruption, airplane bribes, ICE raids, Democrats arrested. Good lord

The New Pope. Pope Bob. Pope Leo XIV. American. White Sox fan. Despite initial reaction from the MAGAts on take that libs (assuming of course all Americans are assholes like them) now after being told by the right-wing media that the Pope is "woke" they are pissed. Well for crissakes, if the Pope aint "woke" who the hell is? The Pope defines "woke". Of course, to the neanderthals, "woke" means commie homo lovin gay feminists soy boys who dont accept white supremacy. Woke is actually tolerating the underrepresented, the minorities, the ones without a voice, the ones who need equality. Woke means educated. Willing to learn and change ones mind. The Pope is Pope Woke I whether you like it or not. Fuck Tedesco.

ICE, a gang of Proud Boys, Jan 6ers and the bottom of the barrel of law enforcement goons unable to secure legitimate police department employment, have run out of criminals. The criminals are all in jail or have been deported by the prior administration. So now, to meet Botox Barbie Noem's quota system, have started arresting anybody who looks brown, black or has a funny accent. The clowns who constitute ICE in their cosplay body armor, big guns, masks and jeans (?) are raiding neighborhoods with brutal force. These short men, most of whom were shoved into lockers as high schoolers, now have the power denied them by nature. And dammit they will have their revenge on women, children and babies. The strategy of cowards. Crazy overreactions to a family of madres and ninos breaking the law by existing, serving white people, white corporations and white farmers. This is what ICE does. They are bullies and trash. The very thing they suffered in their past they have now become. You are what you hate.

The country of Quatar. The funder of Houthis, Hamas and various other terrorists has jumped into the corruption of Trump. Last week the Felon, or through his corrupt spawns of Satan, announced a $5.5 billion dollar golf course and resort in Quatar. Over the weekend, Quatar announced they were "donating" a $400 million dollar airplane to the United States which could be used as a bugged Air Force One and THEN once the gutter crook is out of office will be "donated" once again to the Trump Library Foundation. Never use library and Trump in the same sentence. How could any of this be legal? But our esteemed bribe taking nitwit Attorney General, Pam Blondi, says it's all legal and above board, much like her $25K "donation" she took to drop the fraudulent Trump University case. Oh ad by the way, Blondi's last job before being appointed AG, was a lobbyist for the country of, wait for it, Quatar. The absolute criminality is as obvious as Karoline Leavitt's nose job.

Finally, on Friday, Democratic lawmakers and the Mayor of Newark protested outside an ICE concentration camp   detention center, ICEhwhitz if you will. ICE opened the gates to the facility, let them step inside and then arrested the mayor for whatever they thought of at the time. Being a decent human being perhaps. Instead of saying oops sorry, the ICE thugs doubled down, threatening more Democrats with arrest. Meanwhile someplace somewhere, Stephen Miller is furiously masturbating to his picture of Heinrich Himmler. Miller, the Goebbels look alike, who also threatened a suspension of habeas corpus, the very cornerstone of American justice. Miller is 39-year-old vermin who suffers from a lifetime of rejection by both women and decent folks who don't throw trash on the ground to make work for janitors. Ya know, people who actually return shopping carts to the corral. Miller is a spineless little rat suddenly given power and he will exact his revenge. Ya know, like the ICE thugs.

Fuck this place.
