Almost Here

I am so glad to be back on my regular schedule, and this is my work from home day. Our idiot president said the other day, “Nobody’s going to work from home, they’re going to be going out, they’re gonna play tennis, they’re gonna play golf. They’re gonna do a lot of things—they’re not working.” The reporter who was presenting the story then went on to show the orange asshole playing golf. Just because he doesn’t not actually do any work other than sign executive orders that he didn’t write and make the most idiotic appointments, doesn’t mean that other people who are working from home aren’t doing their job. Most days that I’m working from home, I get more accomplished than when I’m at the office. No one is there to bother or interrupt me. And besides, the Oval Office, where the president is supposed to actually work is in the White House and is his home. Furthermore, he spends more time at Mar-a-Lago or his other properties than he does at the White House. Our president is the master of projection, which in psychology means a defense mechanism where an individual attributes their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings, and behavior on others. So, if you want to want to know the truth about anything orange slob says, just change the name of whoever he is talking about and replace it with his name. Nothing that ever comes out of his mouth is truthful, and everything is hateful. In one month, he’s done more damage to our country’s democracy than any president in history has done their whole term in office, and we have a depressing 47 more months to go.

Sorry! When I started this post it was supposed to be about the weekend being almost here and getting to enjoy spending the day with Isabella as she supervises me working at my desk. I got a bit sidetracked. I have things to do to prepare for next week. Most of it has to do with the class I’m teaching, but I’m sure other things will come up as well.

Good morning Joe. The spectacle gets more unnerving by the hour. It’s like watching the remake of a very bad movie.
I’m looking forward to your Sunday message.
Best wishes for a good weekend.

Sorry to say but this orange felon isn't a president he is just a lamantable business man with many bankcrupcies and felonies as he played on the among of his fortune etc..
Stealing money from everyone in his fake university etc..
Now he is showing who he really is, a king, a dictator with no respect to your Constitution.
Sadly his behaviors isn't only affecting USA but every countries in the world.
You'll have to see lot of backlash from the other countries which is already beginning as the EU is gearing up without the help of USA and are stopping buying US weapons like the F-35..
For us in Canada, our governments, federal and provincials, are preparing the economic push back.
ALL the Americans will see the consequences of that tariffs policies by 47 as prices will go up and the Wall Street will fall down as it's already going on.

For now, Canada is celebrating our hockey's victory over the USA's team in Boston. Hockey is our national sport and the NHL becoming American just stole it and our Stanley Cup established by Canadian Lord Stanley.

What do you think about Nazi salutes?

Joe said...

I think that Musk's Nazi salute was a blatant dog whistle. There are a lot of messages that the current administration is sending subtly. I do not believe the president is intelligent or subtle enough to use dog whistles, but he has intelligent men (Lex Luther would be envious of Musk, who is a caricature of a comic book supervillain) who do understand. They are sending the message to their henchmen that it's a free for all to do whatever they want. The pardoning of the J6 rioters showed us that very clearly.

uvdp en España el saludo nazi de Musk no ha gustado en absoluto y es muy criticado. A nivel popular los españoles estamos dejando de comprar productos de USA.

JiEL da mucho miedo ver todo lo que dice y hace esa "naranja arrugada" junto con la pandilla de la que se rodea. Ahora habla de la cercanía de la III Guerra Mundial. ¿Por qué no le da un infarto?

Yesterday Steve Bannon, one of Trump's aides in his first term, gave a Nazi salute during his speech before CPAC, the extremist right wing political organization. The Orange Orangutan speaks before them Saturday.
