The next Lincoln Project ad should be: Donald Trump reads "The Snake" poem.

The wonderful Maya Angelou famously said, "When people tell you who they are, believe them."

I had run across the story of the snake years ago, but not in poem form. When I found this video of Trump reading a poem based on the story, my skin literally crawled. Lincoln Project people, if you're listening, please have a look and use parts of this video in your next anti-Trump ad:

If you can't stand to watch the video, I don't blame you. The gist of it is that a woman sees a poisonous snake. The snake begs her to take him in. She says, "No! You'll bite me!" The snake reassures her that he won't. So she takes him in. Sure enough, he bites her. The woman is shocked and angry. The snake goes, "Stupid woman! You knew damn well I was a snake when you took me in!"

It is so creepy and repulsive and infuriating to see Trump actually revealing his true nature at a campaign rally and his gullible supporters don't realize that the snake is Trump.

Horrifying thought: What if Trump found out in 2019 that the Russians were paying $100,000 bounties

for dead Americans and he thought to himself, "Hey, now! I could really cash in here!"

That would explain why his response to Covid-19 was so slow, why he called the pandemic a "hoax," why he encouraged people to drink bleach and take hydroxy-whatever, why he has been pushing so hard for businesses to reopen, and now why he wants the schools to reopen. Maybe he gets more money when educated people like teachers and those seeking an education, like schoolchildren, are killed.

I'm just being facetious with this idea of Trump's completely botched response to Covid-19 being caused by his wanting to cash in on the Russian bounty money. He's just phenomenally incompetent and 1,000 percent fixated on winning the 2020 election and keeping his own hide out of prison.

But you have to wonder. It certainly seems like he wants us all dead.

Why Trump's "Don't blame me, blame China!" excuse doesn't work

Imagine if China, instead of transmitting the coronavirus to the United States (unintentionally, I believe. I mean, it's a disease. Diseases spread. It's sort of their thing.), what if China had sent 2 million actual soldiers to attack the US, launching a land and air attack in California? In the first wave of the attack, 130,000 Americans are killed.

What if, in the face of an actual attack, Trump did absolutely nothing to prepare for it and made no attempt to warn the American people (even though he had been briefed by US intelligence several months prior about the possibility of a Chinese invasion)?

And what if Trump had then called the invasion a hoax, denied California the equipment it needed to counter the attack, and told every other state that it was up to each state to defend itself from the massive Chinese army overrunning the country? And then, what if, when people criticized him for his abject failure in responding to the attack, Trump declared, "Don't blame me! Blame China!" to divert attention from his own incompetence.

In the situation of an actual Chinese invasion, yes, indeed, it's China's fault. Of course it's their fault if they purposefully attacked us! But what a ludicrous waste of time to point fingers and snivel, "They started it!" All that matters now is how the commander in chief of the United States military responds to the attack.

So even if China had, as conspiracy theorists would have you believe, unleashed the coronavirus on the world on purpose, so the hell what? What was Trump's response? And what is he doing now?

Trump: "I like Purple Heart recipients who DON'T get wounded!"

No, the Mango Moron hasn't said or tweeted this—yet—but seriously, has anyone in history ever been more vicious and vindictive than Trump? Bad enough that he had Purple Heart recipient Lt. Col. Vindman escorted from the White House grounds after testifying in the impeachment hearings (along with his brother, who did not testify), but now there is serious concern that Vindman's promotion will be sabotaged by President Donald J. Bonespurs.

Thank you, Senator Tammy Duckworth (another Purple Heart recipient) for defending Lt. Col. Vindman from Trump's treachery by demanding a written commitment not to block Vindman's promotion. I'm sure that the 1,000-plus other officers on the list of promotions will support your action, even it means their promotions are held up a bit—at least the ones deserving of promotion will support you and support Lt. Col. Vindman.

P.S. Senator Duckworth, you are my pick for Veep!

Call your Republican Congressmen and Congresswomen TODAY and

demand to know what they intend to do in response to Trump's doing absolutely nothing after being briefed that Russia was paying the Taliban bounties for killing U.S. service members. Oh, wait, I'm wrong! He didn't do nothing. He worked to get Russia back into the G7 and withdrew troops from Germany!

Also demand that they vote for the harshest of sanctions on Russia and the expulsion of all Russian officials from the U.S. and banning the entry of any Russians to the U.S. beginning immediately.

And while you're at it, demand that Republicans join in with their Democratic colleagues and re-impeach Traitor Trump and this time kick his treasonous ass out and imprison him for high crimes and misdemeanors against the United States of America.

Seriously, we cannot wait until November to get him out of the White House! What the hell else is he going to do? What (additional) national secrets will he deliver to Putin? What country will he nuke?

So please, please call your Congresspeople today. We need to put the pressure on the Repugnant Party to finally put country over party.

Love you, Jerry Nadler, but you need to shut that shit down!

I just saw the video on CNN of the outrageous maneuver by Republican Louie Gohmert to disrupt the hearing by rapping loudly on the table during a witness's opening remarks as a way of objecting to Nadler giving the witness more time to deliver his remarks. And he refused to stop rapping on the table after being told repeatedly by Nadler to stop.

Oh, my God! Why didn't Nadler have the sergeant-at-arms haul him out? Why?! My blood is boiling right now!

I love Jerry Nadler, but he needs to be replaced as chairman of this hearing and other high stakes hearings such as this. We need someone in charge of these meetings who can go medieval on these jerks when they pull this shit! Get Nancy Pelosi, get ANYONE who can get honest-to-God PISSED and take action!

We can't wait until November!

Trump MUST be forced to resign from office now! We can't wait until November!

From his botched response to the pandemic to his equally disastrous response to the George Floyd tragedy and subsequent riots (both of which having revealed with stark clarity Trump's true amoral, sociopathic, corrupt, vile character), along with all of the previous outrages from the last three years, . . . there is ample cause for him to be removed immediately.

I am absolutely horrified by the escalating crises that our nation is experiencing at this very moment and completely terrified thinking of what Trump might do in the upcoming months before the election, not to mention between the election and Inauguration Day after he loses to Biden (fingers crossed so tightly they're purple).

Traitor Trump is on a slash-and-burn rampage and is hell-bent on checking off every item on Putin's "Destroy America To Do List." What is he going to do next? Hand over our nation's top secret national security data to Putin, if he hasn't already?

And you know he's just itching to nuke something. Will he nuke North Korea before he leaves office? Nuke Iran? Nuke China? Nuke Ukraine? Nuke California?!

If any Republican senators or representatives are reading this, it is WAY past time for you to act on behalf of your country, not your own political and personal self-interest. Get off your sorry, party-protecting butts, march over to the White House, and Barry Goldwater his ass! In Goldwater's own words, referring to Nixon:

“There are only so many lies you can take, and now there has been one too many. Nixon should get his ass out of the White House—today!”

Republicans, you have the precedent. Now do you have the moral fortitude?

"Typhoid Trump"!

My new nickname for Mango Mussolini! A quick Google search did not turn up anyone else using "Typhoid Trump" yet, so let's all start calling him that. Short, catchy, it's bound to go viral.

What my Google search did find was this article from July 2019 called: "President Trump and Typhoid Mary: When Lies Become Epidemic."

https://www.mediavillage.com/article/president-trump-and-typhoid-mary-when-lies-become-epidemic/

The article almost seems quaint, hearkening back to a simpler time when "all" we had to worry about was Trump's lying. Now we are dealing with the horrific truth captured by Rick Wilson's book title: Everything Trump Touches Dies.

Anyway, "Typhoid Trump" is my contribution to the anti-Trump campaign, and I hope to hear it lambasting him in campaign ads and yelled at his motorcade as it drives by, and see it on T-shirts, billboards . . . it'll be YUGE!

White House press reporters, if you're listening (reading) . . . !

Would someone PLEASE ask at Trump's next press briefing (if there is one): "Mr. President, you refuse to wear a mask to protect yourself from the coronavirus. According to porn star Stormy Daniels, you also refused to wear a condom to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases when you had sex with her. There seems to be a pattern here. Do you believe that risky behavior is a sign of manliness? Psychologists might say you were overcompensating for a small penis. How would you respond to that, Mr. President?"

My heart is breaking! God speed, John Prine!

I just found out that John Prine has died from coronavirus, and I am devastated and so very angry!!! Trump killed John Prine. Killed one of the kindest, gentlest, humblest, most insightful storytellers this world will ever know. R.I.P. John Prine!
