Silver Lining, Day 1396

Our president needs to shut the fuck up and maybe try and save some lives. 

This is from just before 9am. TODAY. 

Friends and family, Democrats and Republicans, alike. I implore you to PLEASE contact your elected representatives in Congress and beg them to curb our Orange Julius Caesar!

Silver Lining, Day 1391

Apologies to R.E.M. 

Oh, lies are bigger 
Are bigger 
Than you and you are not me 
The lengths that I will go to 
The resistance in your eyes 
Oh no, I've said too much 
I set it up 

That's me on the golf course 
That's me in denial 
Losing my election 
Trying to keep up with Q 
And I don't know if I can do it 
Oh no, I've said too much 
I haven't said enough 

I thought that I saw you laughing 
I thought that I heard you cry 
I think I thought I saw you try 

Every denier 
Of every waking hour 
I'm choosing my suppressions 
Trying to keep an eye on Q 
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool 
Oh no, I've said too much 
I set it up 

Consider this 
Consider this 
The fraud of the century (that’s me) 
Consider this 
The slip that brought me 
To my knees, reality 
What if all these fantasies 
Come crashing to the ground? 
Now I've said too much 

I thought that I filed a lawsuit, or two, or ten 
I thought that I heard Giuliani 
I think I thought I saw you lie 

But that was just a dream 
A deluded traitorous dream 

That's me in the White House 
That's me in the Twitter 
Losing the election 
Trying to fuck it up for you 
And I don't know if I can do it 
Oh no, I've said too much 
I haven't said enough 

I thought that I heard you Joe-lecting 
I thought that I heard Mitch scream 
I think I thought I started to cry 
But that was just a dream 
Try, lie 
Why try? 
This is just a lie, just scream, just scream 
Scream

Silver Lining, Day 1388

Something to chew on. Keep in mind, toward the end, the Trump campaign was cash-poor and had been vastly outspent by Biden.  

Imagine, had Trump embraced science from the get-go, and started mass-producing, selling and marketing MAGA masks , and crimson Trump Masks, and all the variations (I'm convinced "Lock Her Up" masks would have still been best sellers). He would have sold these to his followers by the boatload (one for every day of the week!), and his campaign could have had a huge influx of cash AND his supporters would have worn those masks with zealous abandon. 

Think about it. Not only about the financial possibilities, HOW MANY LIVES WOULD HE HAVE SAVED, especially among his own base? 

One can argue that, had he not mishandled the pandemic from the onset, this election would have gone a much different way. His supporters may not agree, but he also mishandled a huge marketing opportunity that, I argue, would have made a difference and changed history. 

An astute businessman should have known better.

Down one "friend," who blocked/ unfriended me after I left a very empathetic reply on one of his posts. Seriously, folks, give some love to your Trumpsters. They have serious Stockholm Syndrome and need some reprogramming. They have a Supreme Court conservative majority as a consolation prize and still have a shot at controlling the Senate, so keep that in mind. Oh, and there's a fucking pandemic going on. Take care of yourself and one another. Be safe. Wear a mask. COVID-19 doesn't care how you voted.

Silver Lining, Day 1385

Guys, I am having second thoughts about my choices. 

After watching what has transpired over the last couple of months, I have seen a lot of hate spewed toward a man who has, time and again, proven to be a winner and overachiever, and I get it, that's what the people who support him like about him. Yes, he's been caught in lies and twisted the truth a little, but he still shows up every day and is there proving his haters wrong time after time. It's normal for people to be jealous of someone who is successful, powerful, and has a lot of money. Throw in that beautiful wife, steadfast by his side, and they hate him even more. I realize now that you may not have wanted him in his role, but he's there now and there's nothing you can do about it. I know it’s possibly going to get worse over the next several days, but I am sold. I'm flipping the script and, love him or hate him, I'm giving him his props .... Tom Brady is really truning things around in Tampa.

Just swirl this around your brain a little. Source: NYTimes... 

Andrew Bates, a spokesman for the Biden campaign, said the push for a recount was not the behavior of a winning campaign. “When Donald Trump won Wisconsin in 2016 by roughly the same amount of votes that Joe Biden just did, or won Michigan with fewer votes than Joe Biden is winning it now, he bragged about a ‘landslide,’ and called recount efforts ‘sad,’” Mr. Bates said. “What makes these charades especially pathetic is that while Trump is demanding recounts in places he has already lost, he’s simultaneously engaged in fruitless attempts to halt the counting of votes in other states in which he’s on the road to defeat.” 

And yes, Michigan has been declared for Biden now. 

I'm crossing everything I've got to cross.

We can deal with shuttering our operation if it means ousting the sexist, racist, xenophobic, vile excuse for a human being from the White House. A hearty thanks to all the Americans who are working as poll workers and doing their part to strengthen and protect our electoral process, a cornerstone of our democracy.

What a crazy world! That fly already secured an agent and has already gone into the studio, recorded and released a cover of one of the greatest hits by The Police: 

Giant steps are what you take 
Walking on the Goon 
Made my national debut today 
Walking on the Goon 
He could talk forever 
Walking on the Goon 
He could lie forever 
Walking on, walking on the Goon 

Walking back from the White House 
Walking on the Goon 
Speaking on behalf of a racist Louse 
Walking on the Goon 
Feet they hardly touch the head 
Walking on the Goon 
My fame online it quickly spread 
Walking on, walking on the Goon 

Some may say 
I should test for Corona today 
No way 
And if it's the price I pay 
Some say 
I stole the spotlight away 
You don’t say 
I may as well play 

Giant ego is what I got 
Walking on the Goon 
Famousest Fly, 
I’m so damn hot 
Walking on the Goon 
He could lie forever 
Walking on the Goon 
If I could vote I’d never 
Vote for him or the Orange Loon 

Some may say 
They want Mike and Don to go away 
They pray 
To a penitentiar-ay 
Some say 
Tomorrow's another day 
I say 
I wish I could vote them away 

Veep it up, Veep it up 
Veep it up, Veep it up 
Veep it up, Veep it up 
Veep it up, Veep it up 
Veep it up, Veep it up 
Veep it up, Veep it up

Good thing he stopped banging adult film actresses - otherwise half the eastern seaboard would be on lockdown! 

[Disclaimer: before y'all start commenting, I realize that there is no proof he stopped banging adult film actresses, and I believe many of you want to believe he has not stopped and is just more discreet - i.e. being blackmailed by Putin with a steady stream of Russian sex workers delivered secretively to his hidden bunker deep in the bowels of the White House. That said, let's just assume that he has NOT been banging adult film actresses for the sake of this silver lining, mmm-kay?]

New Republican theme song, with apologies to 10CC - 

Too many missing votes have fallen in the river 
Too many Gee-O-Pee souls have drifted out to sea 
You make your bed and then embrace the lies 
The things we do for Trump, the things we do for Trump 

Miscommunication is the problem to the answer 
You've got their number and your hand is on the phone 
The media’s turned and all the lines are down 
The things we do for Trump, the things we do for Trump 
Like losing the Senate and the House 
When there's nowhere to grouse 
And you're feelin' like America is dying 
And you're looking for the answer in his lies 
You think you're gonna blow up 
Then he says he’ll never grow up 

Ooh he made us love him 
Ooh he’s got a way 
Ooh he had us calling for a wall 

Like loving Moscow Mitch and adoring Lindsay Graham 
It’s really quite a low-down dirty shame 
That hypocrisy is now a way of life 
And you're looking for the answer in his lies 
You think he’ll never blow it
And then he gets the COVID! 

Ooh he made us love him 
Ooh he’s got a way 
Ooh he had us calling for a wall 

A compromise would surely help unite the nation 
But our agenda needs more right-wing masturbation.
When after all it's just a pack of lies 
The things we do for Trump, the things we do for Trump

The things we do for Trump, the things we do for Trump 
The things we do for Trump, the things we do for Trump 
The things we do for Trump, the things we do for Trump

It's a real thing when you've said it was fake 
It's the good mask advice that you just didn't take 
And who would've thought? We all did…….. 

Mr. Blame Everyone Else was afraid to not lie 
He packed his suitcase and kissed his porn stars goodbye 
He waited his whole damn life to for that Nobel Prize

Of catching up to you, Don 
When you think everything's KKK 
And everything's going white 
And life has a funny way 
Of showing you up 
When you think everything's gone wrong 
And everything blows up in your face 

A hug from Hope Hicks when you've lost your faith 
A "no bullying" sign on your Twitter break 
It's like ten million votes when all you need is an NDA 
It's meeting the Vlad of your dreams 
And then believing his beautiful lies 
And isn't it ironic, don't you think? 
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think 

It's like COVID-19 before election day
It's a real thing when you've said it was fake 
It's the good mask advice that you just didn't take 
And who would've thought? We all did…….. 

And yeah, well, life has a funny way 
Of catching up to you 
And life has a funny, funny way 
Of seeing you out 
Voting you out

If Jill Biden's speech last night sounded familiar, it's because a lot of it is from Melania's speech next week.

Conspiracy Theory - Donald was replaced in the first 100 days by a sophisticated chicken in a robot. Pence has said nothing because he likes his robot chicken eggs, over easy.

The Earth just reversed its axis for a few seconds as Donald's head spun around wildly trying to figure out how many different ways he can mispronounce Kamala's name.

Quality Control flagged yesterday's silver lining (Trump's head on Mt.Rushmore is like a MAGA hat on the Mona Lisa) as falling below standards.

Donald says now he WON'T throw out first pitch at Yankee game next month so he can focus on the pandemic. Which means, really, he'll be golfing.

Toyota re-branding its Highlander for the MAGA Market. It only comes in red, gets 1 mile per gallon, and is renamed "The Liehandler."

Thursday, July 23, 2020

Silver Lining, Day 1280

Even without a peopled stadium, Donald's too scared to throw out the first pitch, because he doesn't want to be heckled by astroturf.

Silver Lining, Day 1279

Donald is a can of generic spaghetti rings. He thinks he is better than Franco-American Spaghettios, but he's just some off-label brand that some people like because they've been tricked into believing they're the "real" thing. #provemewrong

Silver Lining, Day 1263

Imagine it is November 8, 2016. Aliens have invaded the earth. The Nebulaks from a far-away galaxy have landed and they have blasted the earth with a stun ray that has put all of humanity into a vivid collective dream-wracked coma. We are, one species, collectively having a long, traumatic/orgiastic dream that feels like it is going on for years. Skrublorb, Supreme Leader of the Nebulaks, is monitoring this collective dream, and is horrified to see what a terrible mess we have made in our collective subconscious. He says, "-sh-lZbrf7hsgt" (which can only loosely be translated as "screw it.") They flip the switch and hightail it back to their galaxy. We, as humankind, snap out of our nightmarish fugue state and learn that Hillary Clinton has won the election, keenly aware however, of every excruciating detail of our collective faux-experience. 

Imagine the rage, the wailing, the agony of the Republican party (which drowns out a small, wise sigh of relief from a vocal minority). 

Imagine how great that feels. And go to bed tonight, happy.

It's not surprising that this presidency will be defined by a virus. It is, however, a bit of a shock that it's not a sexually-transmitted one.

Not Really a Silver Lining, Day 1229

When COVID-19 cases start to rise, and people want to blame the protestors, remember, America, a week ago states were opening up and assholes all over this country went out, without masks, to "get back to their lives." I'm looking at you, Florida. I'm looking at you, Missouri. I'm looking at you, Texas. I'm looking at you, you precious armed white crybabies in Michigan and beyond, storming the capitols with your weapons of war and meeting no resistance from law enforcement. When the numbers go up, and they will, remember COVID-19 was here, among us, more than a week ago. And we as a nation will reap what we sow.
