Reminder: If You Defend Trump, You're Not Just Defending a Criminal. You're Enabling an Idiot.

Every time we click on the Twitter, we see that there is some new depth to which Donald Trump's criminality and venality and narcissism has sunk. In the latest, it looks like Lev Parnas, a power-hungry troll right out of hell's Central Casting, worked in coordination with ghoulish soul-sucker Rudy Giuliani and bloated Trump taint-licker Robert Hyde to spy on and, perhaps, at least entertain the idea of murdering then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch (Note: Parnas denied this outright in his interview with Rachel Maddow). The very foundation of the White House should have crumbled from revulsion at this point, but our capacity for scandal and shame has been calibrated to the point of uselessness. We need pitchforks and torches; we can barely manage to glance above our touchscreens because, well, really, what's the fucking use, right?

So if you're a Trump defender, whether one of his scum voters or a craven congressional worm, you're obviously comfortable with having a fucking criminal lead you because it makes you feel big and important. You're a failure of a human being, but fuck it. You gave up giving a shit when it turned out the Negro president was actually good at his job so you had to ignore reality and disappear into the Fox "news" matrix to survive. Now you're just a vessel getting pumped with a fantasy that comforts you and bears no relationship to the actual world. 

And that means ignoring the blatant, pathetic, obvious truth that Donald Trump is not just a fucking criminal. He's a fucking dolt. He proves that every single time he opens that reverse garbage disposal of a mouth. Your mighty president really said this last night at his Rally of the Narrow-Eyed Dumbfucks in Milwaukee:

"I'm also approving new dishwashers that give you more water, so you can actually wash and rinse your dishes without having to do it. Ten times, four: five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Anybody have a new dishwasher? I’m sorry for that. I’m sorry for that. It’s worthless! They give you so little water. You ever see it? Air comes out, so little water. So what happens? You end up using it 10 times, and the plates, then you take them out and do them the old-fashioned way, right? But what do you do? You’re spending 10 times for the electricity, right? So I’m putting the water back. Most places have so much water they don’t know what the hell to do with it. A lot of people don’t realize that.
So dishwashers, now, you’re going to have just as much as you’ve ever had, and you’re going to use now one shot, your dishes are going to be beautiful."

Let's pause here for two things. First, new dishwashers are fucking amazing and anyone who doesn't know that is so out of touch it's ridiculous. Yeah, it takes a little longer. Fuck you if that's a problem. Have a drink and chill. If you're complaining about dishwashers, you're sucking Koch brother cock because, of course, those oil-filthy sons of bitches don't want anything that's energy efficient. 

And, second, listen to the crowd actually cheer for this bulbous dickhead as he rants about dishwashers and toilets.  He's blatantly lying and exaggerating, but the coprophagic yahoos gobble this shit like it's falling from crucified Christ's dead asshole. That's the point, right? To make sure that everyone goes along with his stupid. To reveal just how decadently dumb the country is.

The evening went on with Trump agreeing with a numbnuts in the crowd and saying of Democrats, "They are traitors, when you think about it." The drooling cretins screamed their approval. He said, again about Democrats, "These people are sick, but they're the party of late-term abortion, socialism, and corruption." People in a state that received over $350 million in subsidies to help its farms booed socialism.

There's a moment in Trump's hee-haw rally in Toledo last week that has stuck with me. He was bragging about how the Iraqi and American forces handled the recent riots at the American embassy in Baghdad, comparing it to the attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya in 2012. This is what Trump said last Thursday: "We did it exactly the opposite of Benghazi, where they got there so late. All they saw when they got there days later were burning embers from days before. It's all they saw. We got there very early. We saw what was happening. I saw what was happening. I said what's that all about? And that was going to be another Benghazi had they broken through the final panels of glass."

The "attack" on the embassy on December 31, 2019, was comprised of protesters pushing in, breaking some shit, and lighting some fires. It was quickly broken up with tear gas and by the protesters themselves, who backed off. The attack on the Benghazi consulate was by organized militias using grenades, mortars, and automatic weapons (and forces didn't get there "days later;" it was within hours). It's like comparing a stubbed toe to having your foot chopped off. But this motherfucker in the White House will hype every goddamn thing he does and degrade anything done by anyone else. 

The House of Representatives just delivered the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate in one of our weird-ass rituals. The trial will start next week. Republicans will be defending a blatant criminal, a violent coward, and a rank moron, declaring that he must be allowed to complete his term and even be reelected. That says something sad and depressing about every single Republican and every single Republican voter. 

Goddamn, don't you even think you deserve better? Or, perhaps, this dumb motherfucker really is the best you can do and you gotta cling to him like parasites on a plump body.
