They're making a sequel to "The Passion of the Christ"

https://news.avclub.com/jim-caviezel-says-passion-sequel-is-coming-will-be-t-1845131553?utm_source=AV_Club_Daily_RSS&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2020-09-21

Jim Caviziel is set to reprise his role as Jesus. The film will show him rising from the dead, performing miracles, and ascending into Heaven.

I was under the impression that in the Bible, Jesus didn't come out of the tomb and immediately start running around performing miracles. He did all those BEFORE he was crucified.

Trump doesn't care about overturning Roe

He probably prefers it to NOT be overturned, just in case he needs it.

Trump's more urgent need is staying in office long enough to run out the Statutes of Limitations on some of the shit he's pulled. If he tries to put another justice on the court, it'll be a Trump toady sent to protect His Corpulence from the police.

Trump and the Outhouse

It so happens that one fine day, the 10-year-old Donald Trump and one of the neighborhood kids who was bribed into pretending to be his friend were walking around on the Trump family estate when they spy an outhouse next to a small cliff.

"Hey!" yelled Trump. "Let's push it over the cliff! It'll be fun!" They do so.

A couple hours later, his father called him into his den. "Donald, did you push the outhouse over the cliff?"

"Why no sir," Trump said, "why would I want to do something like that?"

Trump's dad said, "Donald, did I ever tell you about George Washington and the cherry tree?"

"No, father."

"Well, you see, one day George Washington as a boy chopped down a cherry tree on his family's farm. When they asked if he did it, George stood up and said, 'Father, I cannot tell a lie. I chopped it down.' And he didn't get in any trouble at all. Now, did you push the outhouse over the cliff?"

"Father, I cannot tell a lie. I pushed the outhouse over the cliff."

Trump's dad immediately beat Trump to within an inch of his life and arranged to ship him off to military school.

"But father, why? You said Washington fessed up to chopping down a cherry tree and didn't get in trouble for it."

"George Washington's father wasn't sitting in the cherry tree when he chopped it down."

I suspect Trump is on the shortlist for the 2020 Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine

"For his attempts to promote cleaning products and dangerous drugs with no antiviral ability as cures for COVID-19, a disease caused by a virus."

They'll be sure to play this song during the announcement:

Kanye West may have put Idaho into play

https://cdapress.com/news/2020/aug/25/kanye-west-qualifies-idaho-presidential-ballot/

All it takes to gain ballot access in Idaho is a petition with 1,000 verifiable signatures. He has done that, so he's one of the many candidates up for election this year.

Kanye appeals to the man who loves everything about Trump's political positions but can't stand Donald Trump. The question is, are there enough of that voter to drop Trump's numbers below Biden's?

I suspect any October Surprise Trump tries will fall flat

Trump has been attacking Biden for a very long time, and all those attacks have failed. I can see nothing Trump could try that the electorate, who is prepared to get rid of the son-of-a-bitch at the earliest possible opportunity, won't see through as the BS that it is. This is not to say he won't try one; rather, the real "October Surprise" would be if he didn't. But at the same time, when he drops whatever crap he's going to drop, the electorate will be like "yeah, right motherfucker, why don't you just go back to your Quadruple Big Mac?"

On the other side of the ballot, an October Surprise will be a waste of time for the Biden camp. Trump's malfeasance is well-known, and anyone who was planning to vote for that thing would do it even if we could prove Trump uses American flags and Bibles as heating fuel. "Oh, he's just retiring those flags and those were non-King James Bibles, they are an abomination and needed to be burned. MAGA!"

Open letter to the president of the United States

The Associated Press (yes, I know, you can't stand them) is reporting that the upcoming Republican National Convention will seek to "recast your story" so as to shift attention from the fact that, so far, the Trump administration has been an unmitigated failure.

Take it from an ad man: this ain't gonna be easy.

But if you'd like to try it, I have a few suggestions.

First, fire all your children from their positions in your administration. What you're doing is called "nepotism" and it's illegal.

Second, delete your Twitter account and never get another one.

Third, stop with the cutesy nicknames for your enemies.

Fourth, fire all your "acting" department heads and cabinet secretaries, and pick people who the Senate will approve. You do realize the people you want are so corrupt, the same Senate who signed off on Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, the worst two Supreme Court justices since Roger Taney, won't approve them.

Fifth, repeal the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Sixth, stop with the executive orders already. You realize you complained your ass off about President Obama's EOs, and here you are doing the same shit - only cranked up to eleven.

Seventh, quit backdooring your paycheck through your never-ending vacations. No one except your fanboiz are in the least impressed by you giving back $400,000 then billing the Secret Service $3 million for all the things they do to watch you play golf badly.

Eighth, we know you're paying your extreme debt to Russia by destroying America. Stop that shit. Right now.

Ninth, One America News Network, Gateway Pundit and Epoch Times are not legitimate news organizations. Kick them out of the White House Press Pool.

And tenth, stop giving President Obama and Senator Clinton rent-free living space in your head.

Do those things and you might actually turn around your presidency.

But you'll still lose in November. A leopard can't change its spots.

I now want Melania Trump to plagiarize Michelle Obama's speech. Verbatim.

And that's because Michelle Obama's speech was a very long and very poignant beatdown of Mr. Trump. The only way it could have been more severe is if she'd taken a 2x4 to his empty head.

I can just see it: "Things can and will get worse unless you, the voters, have the common sense to remove my useless no-dick husband from office so I can finally divorce his sorry ass without bringing shame to the office."

In the interest of fairness...

One of DU’s favorite subjects of discussion is the hideousness of Donald Trump’s hair, makeup and wardrobe.

So, it would be a bad thing if we didn’t point out just how well Kamala Harris is put together.
