donnie the dildo is guilty ... etc, etc etc.
But his 75 million fellow morons will still vote for him.
So get ready for a lot of cell-side chats.

Henri IV In The Snow
I took this picture one morning when I woke up pretty early and found it to be snowing - really snowing - in Paris.
I don't know why I took this picture, but I'm glad that I did.
Henri IV was one of those kings that only come along almost never.
But they occasionally do come along, and have come along, and sometimes they even change things.
For the better,
Henri built Pont Neuf, and that's better.
Than not having Pont Neuf would have been.
If there had not been or were no Pont Neuf, I would not have any aspirations for a post death ritual.
After which, dinner at la Citrouille.
And, here and now, that sort of aspiration looms larger and larger.
But I guess I am getting ahead of things.
So:
Here's a little snippet about Henri.
Henry IV is famously associated with the saying, “I want there to be no peasant in my realm so poor that he will not have a chicken in his pot every Sunday.”
Pretty advanced for the sixteenth century.
That from the King, yet.
Too bad that Henri was assassinated by a religious nut (Henri promulgated the Edict of Nantes and god fearing Catholics hated him for granting religious freedom to other persuasions) before he was able to do all the good that he probably had on his mind.
That was in 1610.
Over 400 years ago.

Linguistic Horseshit
I watch PBS NewsHour most evenings.
I am really tired of hearing interviews of Biden Administration spokespeople who dance around, obfuscate and, when pressed with horrifying facts, justify the obvious actual horror: Israel is now and has been for the totality of its time of return to Palestine, post WWII, dedicated to wiping out, or criminally diasporing, the indigenous population.
And - the obfuscating interviews notwithstanding - the Israelis are frighteningly, inexorably, efficient in achieving their goal.
The verbal gymnastics deployed to deliver the US's indefensible message every NewsHour are boring, tiring and insulting to anyone with a brain.
Or a heart.
Or, more unlikely, a soul.
You Say Mumbo I Say Jumbo
I recently had a conversation with MS Copilot.
Here it is.
I'm posting it without edit or refinement.
*************************************************
When did the concept of a triune god enter Christian theology?
The concept of the Trinity in Christian belief emerged over time and underwent significant development. Here’s a brief overview:
1. Origins and Early Views:
o The word “trinity” itself does not appear in the Bible. However, the concept was gradually formulated by early Christians to express their belief in the oneness of God while accounting for their experiences of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
o In ancient Jewish monotheism, worship focused on one God, but there were also other divine beings (archangels, angels, etc.). Early Christians innovatively claimed that Jesus of Nazareth was God himself, who humbled himself by taking on human form.
o The resurrection of Jesus and the experiences of the disciples played a crucial role in shaping this understanding.
2. Paul’s Vision and Isaiah’s Prophecy:
o Paul, a Jewish Pharisee, had a vision of Jesus in heaven and became an apostle to the Gentiles. However, the idea of God’s messiah suffering and dying on a cross was challenging for both Jews and Gentiles.
o Early Christians turned to the “suffering servant” passages in the book of Isaiah (specifically Isaiah 53-54). Isaiah described a faithful servant who suffered, was tortured, and killed but was ultimately raised from the dead by God.
o Early Christians interpreted this prophecy as referring to Jesus of Nazareth, whom they now commonly referred to as the Christ (Greek for “messiah”).
3. First Council of Nicaea (325 CE):
o The formalization of the Trinity concept occurred at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 CE.
o This council aimed to address theological disputes, including the nature of Jesus and his relationship to God.
o The Nicene Creed, which emerged from this council, affirmed the belief in the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit as three distinct persons within one Godhead.
o The term “consubstantial” was used to express their co-equality and eternal communion.
4. Acceptance and Development:
o While the concept was introduced by Tertullian in the late 2nd century, it gained wider acceptance in the 4th and 5th centuries.
o The Trinity expresses that God is one being composed of three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
In summary, the concept of the Trinity evolved over centuries, combining theological reflection, biblical interpretation, and the experiences of early Christians. It remains a central doctrine in Christian theology today12. If you’d like to explore further, feel free to ask!
You
Isn't that a step backwards into polytheism?
Copilot
The concept of the Trinity in Christian theology is indeed a complex and unique one. While it involves three distinct persons—God the Father, Jesus Christ (the Son), and the Holy Spirit—it is essential to understand that the Trinity is not polytheism. Let me explain further:
1. Monotheism vs. Polytheism:
o Monotheism is the belief in one supreme, all-powerful God. In monotheistic religions, this God is the sole creator and sustainer of the universe.
o Polytheism, on the other hand, involves the worship of multiple gods or deities, each with distinct powers and attributes.
2. The Trinity and Monotheism:
o The doctrine of the Trinity asserts that there is only one God (consistent with monotheism) but that this one God exists eternally in three persons.
o Each person of the Trinity is fully God, yet they are not separate gods. They share the same divine essence.
o The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct in their roles and relationships, but they are inseparable and co-eternal.
3. Analogies and Limitations:
o Analogies are often used to explain the Trinity, but they all fall short because the Trinity is a mystery beyond human comprehension.
o Some common analogies include:
Three-in-One: Like water existing in three forms (solid, liquid, gas), the Trinity exists as three persons in one God.
Sunlight: The sun (source), sunlight (emanation), and warmth (effect) are distinct yet inseparable.
Family: A family unit (father, mother, child) reflects unity in diversity.
o However, these analogies have limitations and can lead to misunderstandings if taken too literally.
4. Historical Context:
o The early Christians grappled with how to express their faith in Jesus Christ while maintaining monotheism.
o The Nicene Creed, formulated at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 CE, clarified the relationship between the Father and the Son.
o The Holy Spirit’s role was further defined in later creeds.
5. Unity and Diversity:
o The Trinity emphasizes both unity (one God) and diversity (three persons).
o It highlights the relational nature of God—Father, Son, and Spirit in eternal communion.
o The Trinity is not about dividing God but understanding the richness of divine existence.
In summary, the Trinity is a theological construct that seeks to reconcile the revelation of God in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit with the foundational belief in one God. While it may seem paradoxical, it is not polytheism. Rather, it reflects the mystery and depth of God’s nature as revealed in Christian scripture and tradition . If you have further questions or would like to explore this topic, feel free to ask!
You
kinda sounds like typical religious mumbo jumbo.
Copilot
I understand that religious concepts can sometimes seem complex or mysterious. The Trinity, in particular, is a theological topic that has been debated and explored for centuries. While it may appear intricate, it reflects the attempt to reconcile the divine revelation experienced by early Christians with their foundational belief in one God. Let’s break it down a bit more:
1. Unity and Diversity:
o The Trinity emphasizes both unity and diversity within the nature of God.
o It asserts that there is only one God, but this one God exists eternally in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.
o These persons are inseparable and co-eternal, sharing the same divine essence.
2. Historical Context:
o Early Christians grappled with how to express their faith in Jesus Christ while maintaining monotheism.
o The Nicene Creed, formulated at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 CE, clarified the relationship between the Father and the Son.
o Later creeds further defined the role of the Holy Spirit.
3. Analogies and Limitations:
o Analogies (like water existing in different forms or the sunlight analogy) are used to explain the Trinity, but they all fall short due to the mystery involved.
o The Trinity is not about dividing God but understanding the richness of divine existence.
4. Personal Reflection:
o While theological concepts can indeed seem complex, they often reflect the depth of human experience and our attempts to understand the divine.
o If you have further questions or would like to explore this topic from a different angle, feel free to ask!
Remember that discussions about religious beliefs can be deeply personal, and people approach them with varying perspectives. If there’s anything else you’d like to discuss or explore, feel free to share, and I’ll do my best to provide a thoughtful response! 😊
You
The trinity doesn't seem complex - I learned how it is supposed to work, and totally understood it when I was 13 years old. It doesn't seem mysterious at all. Mysterious is what s involved in quantum entanglement. The trinity just sounds bogus.
Copilot
I appreciate your perspective! You’re right that the concept of the Trinity can vary in how people perceive its complexity. While some find it straightforward, others may struggle with its theological implications. Let’s explore this further:
1. Simplicity and Depth:
o It’s fascinating how different individuals perceive religious concepts. For some, the Trinity is a fundamental and easily understood doctrine.
o However, its apparent simplicity can mask its profound implications. The idea of three distinct persons within one God challenges our usual understanding of identity and unity.
2. Quantum Entanglement:
o Quantum entanglement, as you mentioned, is indeed mysterious and mind-boggling. It’s a phenomenon where particles become interconnected in ways that defy classical physics.
o In quantum mechanics, entangled particles remain connected even when separated by vast distances, and their properties are instantly correlated.
o The mystery lies in how information seems to travel faster than the speed of light, violating classical causality.
3. Theological Exploration:
o The Trinity, while not as scientifically enigmatic as quantum entanglement, remains a rich area of theological exploration.
o It invites us to consider the nature of God, the relationship between the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit, and the mystery of divine unity and diversity.
o The early Christian theologians grappled with these questions, leading to creeds and councils that sought to articulate this mystery.
4. Personal Beliefs:
o Ultimately, religious beliefs are deeply personal. Some find comfort and meaning in the Trinity, while others may find it challenging.
o It’s essential to approach these topics with openness and respect for diverse perspectives.
In summary, both the Trinity and quantum entanglement offer intriguing avenues for exploration—whether in theology or physics. If there’s anything else you’d like to discuss or delve into, feel free to share, and I’ll be here to engage in conversation! 😊
Oh What's The Use?
For some time now I have been having a vague realization of some kind of clarity that has been forming in my conception of the MAGA crowd; it crystallized recently.
MAGA is not even remotely a philosophical or political grouping.
It can best be described as a big drunken tailgate party that got massively out of control and doesn't know what to do next now that the beer has run out.
The main attraction to being MAGA seems to be being seen and being heard and perceiving each other as influencers.
And being hunted down and ridiculed by Jordan Klepper.
And contributing to donnie's legal defense fund.
And the hats, sweatshirts and MAGA/trump certified Bible are all really big attractions.
It's just too bad that the fabric of our nation and the world's dependency upon that fabric will finally come un-woven with donnie nominally in charge again.
George Washington once alluded to a condition that he considered, if it ever were ever to occur, fatally terminal for the health of our Republic.
In a letter to Lafayette in 1788 he said that the only way the office of president could be transformed into a dictator or monarch would be if the people had entered "the last stage of corrupted morals and political depravity".
And he said additionally, "and even then there is as much danger that any other species of domination would prevail. Though, when a people have become incapable of governing themselves and fit for a master, it is of little consequence from what quarter he comes."
Looks like Washington, 236 years ago, saw donnie and MAGA with clarity.
I think he also muttered as he was writing to Lafayette, "Oh what's the use?"

MAGA Moments
I recently had a conversation with my barber.
I was really careful, because it's unwise to argue much with someone who is standing behind you with a razor.
He said recently how bad everything is with Biden as president.
I asked him to elaborate.
He said that gasoline prices are way up, and we are running out of oil.
I said that I was pretty sure that, starting in Obama's administration the US has been a major crude oil exporter and number one in the world in export of refined petroleum products.
I said I doubted that we would be a major exporter if we were running out of oil at home.
Then he said that Biden had canceled that pipeline.
I asked him what pipeline (I couldn't remember the name of the one I thought he was talking about, and he didn't know).
So I said that I thought it was the one that was going to carry Canadian tar sand oil to Houston for export to the world market.
I said I didn't think that exporting more oil would make US gasoline prices any lower, and that, in any event, the product being exported was Canada's product not the US's and that, being tar sand based, that oil was a massive contributor to pollution at every stage of its existence.
We started talking about cars.

Independence Day In The UK?
If I needed evidence more than that already copiously afoot in the land, I got it today.
Rishi Sunak has managed to outlast a head of lettuce, but barely.
And his grasp of facts, issues and, most important, symbols have been lacking since he was plucked from the patch a little over a ear ago.
Today we learned "UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a snap general election for July 4 in a statement outside Downing Street on Wednesday evening, as his Conservative Party faces an uphill struggle to extend its 14 years in power."
It should be only hours before Sir Keir Starmer, the shadow Prime Minister makes this announcement:
"And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the UK declared in one voice: ‘We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive. Today we celebrate our Independence Day!'"

A Letter To Joe Biden
Dear Mr. President
I am about week older than you and a deeply progressive Democrat.
I understand and dread the perils of another donnie the dildo presidency.
So I am writing you this letter.
Because, in spite of all your good intentions, your honor, integrity and your high qualifications for the office you hold, and your many achievements as President, you are likely to fail the most rudimentary test of presidential greatness: election to a second term.
You have made another donnie presidency nearly inevitable.
And we can't have that.
The fabric of our nation and the world's dependency upon that fabric will come un-woven with the great orange idiot flailing aimlessly around again.
But a variety of problems, mostly of your making, have gotten you and the rest of us to the brink of America becoming donnieLand.
And that is not good.
In fact, that is really, really, really bad.
George Washington, in a letter to Lafayette in 1788 made an observation that sums up the problem you have managed to crystalize.
He said, "There cannot, in my judgement, be the least danger that the President will by any practicable intrigue ever be able to continue himself one moment in office, much less perpetuate himself in it; but [in modern parlance substitute 'except' for 'but'] in the last stage of corrupted morals and political depravity; and even then there is as much danger that any other species of domination would prevail. Though, when a people have become incapable of governing themselves and fit for a master, it is of little consequence from what quarter he comes".
The fact that seventy-four million Americans voted for trump in 2020, and even more appear to be ready to do so again seems to indicate that "the last stage of corrupted morals and political depravity" have arrived in America.
And you have let this last stage of corrupted morals and political depravity be the operative factor in who wins, probably the last presidential election in America.
Why is that the operative factor?
Here's why.
As you are acutely aware, a handful of states actually elect the president, not the population of the Unites States.
As was proven in 2016, when the trump campaign's surgical use of the Manafort/Kilimnik Data Base in five of those states induced enough black voters to pass on voting that all five of those states went to donnie, and with them, the presidency.
Because of bad luck and bad decisions, you have likely lost significant tranches of voters in the various groups that constitute your base; that, in those five, six or seven states, will likely have the same effect on your chances of winning those electors as did the Manafort/Kilimnik Data Base in 2016 against Clinton.
Add to that the widespread republican voter repression actions across our nation and you have an unwinnable contest.
Once decent people have been alienated, or winnowed, enough of the "the last stage of corrupted morals and political depravity" are left to tip the balance.
donnie wins; you lose.
And that is not good.
Here, in random order, are what I think have been some of your bad decisions and some of your bad luck.
These things are all having a fatally adverse effect on your chances in the upcoming campaign and election.
Where there is a relationship - bad luck induced by bad decision, or bad decision as a reaction to bad luck, I have made the two immediately adjacent in the list.
The problem with them is that they all have deep influence on your current plight, and they can't be un-done.
Those dice have already been cast.
They can't be un-cast.
*******************************************************************
Bad Luck: In trump's second impeachment, by verdict day in 2021, the republican party had become so rotten that only seven of the republican senators voted the obvious guilty verdict; that left a deeply wounded and extremely cunning adversary on the playing field ready for violence and mayhem.
Bad Decision: The attorney General you appointed looked good but hasn't panned out.
Bad Luck: The Attorney General you appointed let crucial months elapse before appointing investigative and indictive authority to be brought to the most serious question in the history of our Republic: did the ex-president plan and incite an insurrection? By the time that authority was appointed there was not enough time to find facts, indict and try the case, leaving the therefore un-tried and un-convicted insurrectionist (that deeply wounded and extremely cunning adversary) home free.
Bad Luck: You didn't get to be President until you were 79 years old; that makes you 82 this election year; it is functionally impossible to make a convincing case that your remaining lifespan is highly likely to be the four years of another term in office.
Bad Luck: Kirsten Sinema and Joe Mansion were part of your excruciatingly thin Senate majority. Since they both depended on big business for their office they were unwilling to vote for the most sweeping, and most needed advancement of the social contract since the New Deal; had it passed your place in history and your second term would have been locked; lacking passage, you are totally subject to fate's whimsy and the amount and nature of your luck and the number and quality of your decisions.
Bad Decision: Staying mostly out of sight during term one. Like Reagan, you should have gone to the nation every time the opposition lie machine invented a new lie or blocked another policy; instead you stayed mute in the White House. That harmed not only your strength of position on a daily basis throughout your term, it has also cumulatively left you, at best, vaguely defined; that is not a good place for a second term aspirant to be.
Bad Decision: Choosing Kamala Harris as running mate (better could have been Abrams or Buttigieg).
Bad Luck: Kamala Harris has not caught on. That leaves you needing to argue that not only are you likely to live out a second term, or, if you don't you've got Harry Truman in the wings waiting to pick up the baton. That leaves you talking about abstract hypotheticals instead of meat and potatoes.
Bad Decision: Getting out of Afghanistan without planning for withdrawal with at least Operation Overlord level meticulous planning. The buck still stops with you. That meant that anything short of Swiss watch perfection in withdrawing would be a disaster that you could ill afford to waste time talking about. But that's what you got.
Bad Luck: Twenty years of money, military training and physical, social and financial infrastructure investment collapsed like a house of cards in the face of the return of the Taliban. Here luck intercepts decision: betting on the come because of the investment of all that blood and treasure was a disaster.
Bad Decision: Unconditional support of Netanyahu in his response to the October 7, 2023 massacre of Israelis.
Bad Luck: An otherwise potentially good decision didn't have a chance to really be good because it depended upon the irrational, trapped-animal actions of Netanyahu, a criminal domestically and internationally.
Bad Luck: The republican party has become a mafia-like thing with a godfather-like thing pulling all its strings and making government impossible in the United States.
Bad Luck: An immigration agreement that was a massive step forward for the Country was killed in the house of representatives by the tentacles of that mafia so they could retain a dysfunctional immigration system as a campaign issue.
Bad Luck: A near majority of the American People have entered "the last stage of corrupted morals and political depravity".
********************************************************************
So what to do?
The real answer is I just don't know.
But the only thing I can think of is that you and yours need to figure out damn fast who in the Democratic Party can actually win in 2024.
This must be not only fast, it must also be secret.
And the chosen one needs to be vetted with intensity such as history has never seen; no late breaking surprises can be allowed; no more mistakes can happen.
Of course the Convention needs to be contrived: there should be no announcement of your intention to step down; it must look like an old-fashioned smoke-filled room dog and cat fight with the chosen one coming out nominated.
Of course the narrative of what has happened and how it happened needs to be created and written and agreed to by all the players substantially ahead of time, like right now.
And of course, its promulgation needs to be planned at the level of a streaming service big-buck gamble: every hour/day/week and month of the plot must be flawlessly scripted, understood, rehearsed and incrementally rolled out.
Americans love political drama.
A brilliantly contrived political drama can still defeat donnie the dildo and his mafia infrastructure.
So get crackin'.
We can still win this thing.
And you can join President Washington as someone who knew when to step down.
For the good of our country.

What I Read Today In The Onion
It was outrageous.
It was amusing.
It was horribly, viciously inventive.
Just like The Onion always is.
The premise is that it's the middle of a presidential campaign.
In the United States.
Candidate One is 82 years old and suspected of being on the brink of dementia.
His precarious public speaking image is under constant scrutiny because of that suspicion.
The suspicion is reinforced by the fact that, as a recovered stutterer, he is rather deliberate when speaking.
All of that provides a gleefully toxic brew of inuendo and ridicule to be used against Candidate One by his opponent, Candidate Two.
And Candidate Two is an interesting sort.
He is only able to campaign on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
That's because the other days he's on trial for massive Federal election law violations involving falsifying business records to cover-up payments to an adult film actress for her silence about a sexual encounter he had with her.
At the point The Onion writes about Candidate Two, in Court there have just completed two days of deeply detailed testimony from the actress describing her disturbing frolic with the defendant, Candidate Two.
Just to further titillate, the night before that testimony commenced, The Onion reports, The Jimmie Kimmel Show aired an archival episode where the porn star had previously made an appearance on The Kimmel Show; in one of the bits in said appearance she picked from an assortment of plastic mockups the one most closely resembling the penis of Candidate Two.
Pretty entertaining.
But wait.
There's still Candidate Three.
According to The Onion, he has just confirmed that part of his brain was recently eaten by a worm.
You've got to hand it to The Onion.
They can really think up wild stuff.
Way better than boring old American politics.

A Curious Confluence?
November 29, 2006, I was walking along Avenue Rapp in Paris.
I was brought up short by a Christmas display in a window of one of the shops.
I took several pictures of it and saved it for some, at that time, unknown future purpose.
I had been thinking for several years of making a meaningfully customized Christmas card each year, but had never gotten around to it.
That changed in 2010 when I made my first of what was going to be a yearly card.
This year's version is already complete and ready to be printed, signed, enveloped, stamped and mailed.
Every year I wanted to use that picture from Avenue Rapp but was never able to figure out what the annual poem/message would be.
Until 2018, when I did figure it out.
Here it is - not in card fold format, but in PDF printed format.

Mexico Cafe
Really good salsa
It's been family owned in Mt Vernon Washington since 1965, when the Rivas family opened it at its first location.
Over the years they have prospered and grown and now are in their third location.
I think they make their corn tortillas because the chips are the best I have ever had; they make short shrift of a dish of that salsa.
Have the Chile Verde Sauce on a chicken enchilada.
Or go wild and order standalone Chile Verde.
Be prepared for something so good you won't believe it.
Or Arroz con Pollo.
I haven't been able to break a culinary entrapment with those three dishes to find out how good the fancier stuff is.
But I will.
Someday.
Walmart
I think I remember having seen, from time to time, amazing videos of the typical denizens of Sam's Memorial Mausoleum doing Walmart Denizen stuff.
Stuff like two large blond-haired, bare breasted, heavily tattooed women wearing MAGA hats fighting over a package of chicken legs; one, having won, is subsequently seen ravenously tearing bloody chicken meat off the bone with her teeth and swallowing with bloody foamed gusto while shrieking with chicken-hindered clarity "Make America Meat Again".
Or cadres of huge bare chested, heavily tattooed men in MAGA hats crashing grocery carts into one another to gain access to the frontage of a beer display piled ceiling high in the middle of the floor; some carts having broken some bottles, the fray lessens as, one by one the combatants all drop to the floor and commence scooping up handfuls of foam, and inhaling the foam with gusto all begin to chant "death to lily livered wine drinkers".
Some, having dragged their hands through shards of broken bottle have blood streaming from various veins and arteries.
The floor looks like a chicken reduction factory.
So, when I noticed this image incessantly posted in everything served up by my browser, I couldn't suppress the urge to blog.
Which one of "The Denizens" is this image?
And do they have "MAGA" tattooed somewhere unseen?
And are they on Tick Tock?
About Representative Greene: I Wish I Had Written This
But, alas, Rex Huppke has already done it.
Here's a sample:
"Greene's magnificently malevolent moment may have peaked
Greene’s Herculean displays of vacuousness always had an endpoint, even in a political party as uniquely absurd and useless as one helmed by Trump.
In 2021, she slid, hand-in-glove, into a Republican Party that has an appetite for stupidity. But like a dull-witted Icarus, she has now flown too close to the dumb".
For the rest of an amazingly short - for the ridicule and disdain that it metes - invoke the link, below.

Paris Still Life
With Smirnoff ...
I finally had to ask someone in the Carrefour Marché.
Ou est le jus de Tomate?
After some confusion about my terminology, my accent, my appearance and my vocabulary, I found out that what I wanted was Tomate de Marmande.
Not jus de Tomate.
No wonder I couldn't find it.
I had been looking for jus.
Luckily the Smirnoff was on the liquor aisle.
So I didn't have to ask.
It turns out Tomate de Marmande works just like jus de Tomate would work, if there were such a thing.
As jus de Tomate.
Works, with vodka, lime and tabasco.
But there isn't such a thing.
As jus de Tomate.
At least I couldn't find any.
That day in Carrefour.
Maybe some other day.

Trumpin' Up Another republican Martyr
Colo. organizers cancel Kristi Noem's GOP fundraiser due to 'death threats' (msn.com)
I wonder if the "death threats" are of the same level of veracity as her meetings with Kim Jong Un or the threats she claims to have received from Niki Haley?
The republicans are trumpin' up a song "Kristi on the Road to Calgary" which describes her Christ-like martyrdom.
It's going to feature Lara trump in the lead with a chorus headed by Lee Greenwood.
They are including a donnie the dildo bible with every purchase of the record.
The Ballad Of Kristi Noam
I thought until the great memoir blowup that she was on donnie's short list for vice president because she looks like an aging Playboy Bunny.
Apparently canine and ruminant control trumps that feature.

George Washington Said This
During the Constitutional Convention of 1787 quite a bit of time and energy was spent on the nature of the Executive office of the United States.
Having only recently removed themselves from the tyranny of a monarch, all the delegates were exceptionally motivated to have the Executive function not be at the outset, and be unlikely to be able to ultimately evolve into, a king.
Due to the fear of turning themselves back over to a king, many of the delegates were in favor of a multi person Executive - two, or perhaps, three people.
Distribute Executive power so it can't be consolidated and abused easily, so they thought.
The discussions were many and went back and forth.
In the end a single Executive was chosen as the right form.
As President of the convention Washington chose not to not vote on the Convention's daily business or speak during the discussions and debates; he confined his influence on the proceedings to that which he wielded in the Virginia Delegation itself outside of the Convention's business.
In any event the Convention's proceedings were secret, so with Washinton not speaking or voting in the sessions, even the paltry leakage that exists of who thought what and what went on is absent in the case of George Washington.
Therefore, we know little about what he thought about the issues discussed.
A year later though, Washington made what I think is a prophetic observation.
In a letter to Lafayette in April of 1788 Washington said: "There cannot, in my judgement, be the least danger that the President will by any practicable intrigue ever be able to continue himself one moment in office, much less perpetuate himself in it; but [in modern parlance substitute 'except' for 'but'] in the last stage of corrupted morals and political depravity; and even then there is as much danger that any other species of domination would prevail. Though, when a people have become incapable of governing themselves and fit for a master, it is of little consequence from what quarter he comes".
The fact that seventy-four million Americans voted for trump in 2020, and even more appear to be ready to do so again seems to indicate that "the last stage of corrupted morals and political depravity" have arrived in America.

Where's He Gonna Send Em?
donnie the dildo says that when he is again elected president he's going to deport all illegal aliens.
The count on the number of those people varies, but 12 million seems to be a pretty good working assumption.
So, who has the dildo got lined up to receive that massive hoard?
And what country might that deportee reception party reside in?
And what's in it for that party/country - the joy of making a deal with the dildo?
And how is the dildo going to backfill the vast labor void created by all those hard-working, currently gainfully employed individuals being shipped off to Illegal-Alien-Land ?
Is he going to draft all Americans into Tyssen's Slaughterhouse Brigade?
Or, if not, how's he gonna Make America Meat Again?
