Bad Times

By Zamboni

#Plaidshirtguy kind of sums up Benedict Donald's week, don'tcha think?

This young man ended up being ejected from the Trump rally in Montana last night, because — not being an acolyte — he kept making the kinds of faces that the Trump advance team didn't approve of. Maybe they should have done a better job of vetting the folks who stand behind the sociopath at his "shows"? This is political/logistical malpractice.

But should we be surprised, knowing what a mess the Trumpsters have made of things? Sure, they "won" the election in 2016, but it's become clearer and clearer that that one victory relied on Russian cyberterrorism and money — which, combined, drove 77,000 votes in three battleground states to decide the Electoral College. Since then, there hasn't been a whole lot of "winning" going on.

Another case in point: Trump's SCOTUS nominee, who seemed a slam-dunk at the beginning of the week, appears much less sure now. Meanwhile, President Queeg is hell-bent on finding the Quisling who ate the strawberries wrote the New York Times op-ed piece. And Donald Jr.'s hunting buddy is dead! Wildlife everywhere are celebrating.

Finally, Nike is popping the champagne, since their online sales jumped 31 percent after their Colin Kaepernick ad campaign debuted. You know, it's only in a wave year that the suffering political party experiences this much bad luck — and we haven't even begun to discuss the House ratings changes yet. We cats PURR.
