Happy Birthday Donald
A lot of interesting things happened on June 14, and all were bad.
It is former president donald trump’s 75th birthday, the same day in 1928 when Ernesto “Che” Guevara, the famous guerilla leader of Cuba, was born and 220 years ago today, Benedict Arnold died.
It was the day in 2002 when near earth asteroid 2002 missed the earth by 75,000 miles; on this day in 1934 Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini met in Vienna for the first time; and 45 years ago, the Gong Show premiered. The Gong Show may have been the worst of the bunch.
So what to buy for the man who has everything?
1. A donation in his name to the Clinton Foundation.
2. A signed copy of Animal Farm.
3. A football autographed by Colin Kaepernick.
4. A first edition of Mein Kampf.
5. The Clapper.
6. A year’s membership with Weight Watchers.
7. Expired cheese.
8. A framed, autographed photo of Nancy Pelosi.
9. Anti-aging cream.
10. A book, “Tips for the Sub Par Golfer.”
11. A birthday cake and out pops Stormy Daniels.
12. Happy Juneteenth cards from Black Lives Matter.
13. A crossword puzzle with five missing pieces.
14. Books, lots and lots of books.
15. A puppy.
The Lincoln Project wished trump a “happy birthday” with a new video commemorating the lives of the more than 500,000 people in the U.S. killed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Not that I feel sorry for trump by any stretch of the imagination, I just can’t dredge up a scintilla of compassion for him, but I don’t know how anyone could stand all the nasty and well-deserved things being said about him, especially on the “Jail Trump” Facebook page where I would love to friend trump.
A sample of the comments on his special day:
“Should the FBI take down Trump and his co-conspirators?” “Pelosi says any lawmakers who helped insurrectionists may face criminal prosecution.”
“Is Trump and his followers a cult?”
“Will you finally find relief if Trump is in prison?”
“You can’t buy happiness but you can convict trump and that’s kind of the same thing.”
“I don’t loathe trump because he’s a Republican. For me, this stopped being about politics long ago. I oppose him because he’s a horrific human being, a pathological liar, one of the most corrupt individuals I’ve ever come across, a racist and an embarrassment to this country.”
A photo of Hitler, Mussolini and Trump, identified as “The Apprentice.”
“I love it when I wake up and trump is not president.”
“Doesn’t it feel good to NOT have a moron running our country?” A photo of a toilet filled with copies of Ivanka Trump’s book.
“I’m one of the 65,844,954 people who did not vote for the worst president in American history.”
“One day the red MAGA hat will be viewed about the same way we view the Confederate flag and the swastika.”
“No more insane lies. No more golf trips. No more insane tweets. No more seeing an orange bloated face on TV. No more evil first family in the WH…No more asslicking VP…Wow…so this is what having a sane and qualified POTUS feels like.”
“We’re way past Republican vs. Democrat or conservative vs. liberal. This is straight up good vs. evil.”
“Boston Globe editorial board claims that trump ‘must be prosecuted for his crimes while in office.’”
And the topping on the cake:
“The most corrupt, lying, uninformed, divisive, competent, unhinged, pathetic excuse for a president in the history of mankind.”
Happy birthday, donald.
