Shaman Suit’s a Hoot
No one would accuse rioter Jacob Chansley of being a polymath,
But on January 6, the “QAnon Shaman” was clearly on the war path.
Now his $40 trillion Trump suit
Will surely get the judicial boot,
Because it’s 26 pages long and written in a single paragraph.
Strange Bed, Fellows
It was deleted from Trump’s Truth Social before it was widely read.
It was an AI deepfake with an AI Donald Trump as a talking head
Pitching us a kooky QAnon conspiracy
Mashed up with pseudoscientific technology,
With huckster Trump promising we’ll each get a card for our own miracle MedBed.
Kimmel Has the Last Word
“Even though we are still being preempted in 60 American cities, on Tuesday, we had our second-highest rated show in almost 23 years on the air. Our monologue from Tuesday night has more than 21 million views just on YouTube alone. And I want to say, we couldn’t have done it without you, Mr. President. Thank you very much. We got the Trump bump, and we appreciate it.”
— Jimmy Kimmel, on his show Friday night.
Timid Titans Temporize
Capitulating to Trump requires an act of moral desertion;
It just emboldens the bully to double down on intimidation.
Look, bending a knee
Will not set you free,
It just encourages Trump to commit greater acts of extortion.
Loose Cannon at the U.N.
At the United Nations, Donald Trump berated an international crowd,
And said all the internal, secret things that shouldn’t be said out loud.
His performance was intensely embarrassing,
And the media worked overtime sane-washing
What was “a crack-brained elderly man-child shouting at windmills and clouds.”
Trump’s Hourlong U.N. Speech in Seven Bullet Points
Ron Filipkowski has the best summary of President Trump’s address to the United Nations:
1. Your countries all suck.
2. None of you know what you are doing.
3. The U.S. is better at everything.
4. All because of me.
5. I’m right about everything.
6. You should listen to me and do what I say.
7. And give me lots of awards.
