Midnight Meme Of The Day!

Say one thing for the goons in the White House: They've gone all in your face with their attitude. Other politicos put on a pretense of giving a damn. Other administrations have tried to cover their evil, knowing that you really can fool some of the people some of the time. Not the Trumpies. They want you to know their evil and they relish you living in its effects. They even have rallies for the occasion. This is the Republican Party. Whether it's the congressional hit squads of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell fighting for the forces of starvation and disease by taking away Medicare and Social Security, or stealing children from their parents, Republicans not only don't care, they will rub that fact that they don't care right in your face. It's not that this is all that new, but, Republicans have stepped up their game.

Just a few days ago we had Trump advisor Cory Lewandowski making fun of a 10 year old girl with Down Syndrome. Lewandowski is a former Trump campaign chaircretin. To be clear, he is not the one who is in jail but give it time and he might end up in a cell right next to Paul Manafort. Lewandowski has now been dropped by agencies who book people like him for speaking gigs at 6 figures a clip, so that's at least something. Losing such a lucrative income is more justice than he's likely to see from our aptly named criminal justice system. I wonder if it was his idea for his boss to make fun of a disabled reporter during the 2016 campaign. Nah, I bet Mr. Orange Spray Tan though of that one all by himself.

Also a few days ago, we saw Trump's Homeland Secretary, Kristjen Nielsen, denying that children were being stolen from their parents in the name of Trumpism, getting caught in her lies and making sick attempts to feign ignorance, followed predictably by her own in your face moment when she decided to shamelessly dine out in public, in a Mexican restaurant of all places. I'm surprised that she didn't go visit Wounded Knee, Belsen... or a North Korean gulag and have Mexican take-out delivered to her via Air Force One, at taxpayer expense of course.

Ah, but that wasn't enough for one week, certainly not enough to satisfy those who voted for Trump. To satisfy their cravings for more nihilism and downright evil, none other than the First Lady (Melania, not Ivanka) was dispatched to Texas for a pretend to care about the stolen children incarcerated in her husband's Kiddie Internment Camps. Except, she made it plain as day that she didn't care one iota. Melania had a message to send to anyone who is decent enough to actually really care and she wore it both to and from her photo-op. She dressed for the occasion by wearing her now famous jacket that sported the words "I really don't care. Do u?" Jeez. As if we needed corroboration. Yup. Another in you face moment, brought to us by the Republican Party. As to where she got the jacket, I'll just guess that it's just a jacket one gets when one registers as a Republican.

Republican Trump Enablers Getting Kicked Out Of Restaurants

>


Hitler thought it up but he could never have done it on his own. He needed enablers and rubber stamps. Same with Trump, of course. So far, as far as we know, only 3 of Trump's henchmen-- Stephen Miller, Kirstjen Nielsen and Sarah Huckabee Sanders-- have been publicly humiliated and thrown out of restaurants.

A couple of days ago, Ben Fearnow, writing for Newsweek reported that Trump's immigration policy architect Stephen Miller was "heckled and called a “fascist” by patrons at a Mexican restaurant in Washington."
Two days before Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was ridiculed by protestors at MXDC Cocina Mexicana, Miller was approached by customers asking if the “real-life fascist” would beg for money for “new cages.” The “zero tolerance” immigration hard-liner had the Espita Mezcaleria encounter Sunday amid intense backlash against a now-reversed policy to separate migrant children from their families. Both Nielsen and Miller’s Mexican restaurant incidents have prompted a deluge of self-proclaimed supporters of President Donald Trump to hit both D.C. establishments with one-star reviews and nasty comments.

...Miller, who was previously communications director for then-Senator Jeff Sessions, called the Trump administration’s policy to separate children from parents who illegally cross the U.S. border a “simple decision,” the New York Times reported. Miller’s vocal and unequivocal stance on immigration culminated with a Wednesday story from the Splinter News website that revealed his cell phone number that caused the publication to be banned briefly from Twitter.

DHS Secretary Nielsen’s Mexican restaurant run-in at DXDC Cocina Mexicana Tuesday evening saw patrons and protesters shouting “shame” and “end Texas concentration camps” as she dined at the D.C. establishment. A barrage of negative, one-star reviews have since littered DXDC Cocina Mexicana’s Google, Yelp and other online review pages for allowing the “leftist anarchists” to disrupt Nielsen’s dinner.
Huckabee's daughter tweeted early this morning that the owner of the Red Hen in Lexington, Virginia kicked her out of his restaurant Friday night. According to the owner, she was kicked out on moral grounds (and after the staff voted to do so)-- the exact right reason she should have been! We need a lot more of that from courageous American patriots.

I remember years and years ago I was sitting and having dinner when an old friend and his friends walked in and sat down at a table near ours. In a few minutes he noticed another table with 3 gay guys and bigoted Republican hypocrite Ann Coulter. My friend started exploding at her, loudly and very pointedly. I can't remember if he left (I don't think so) or she left (I do think so). It was a gay restaurant in WEHO. He's a deputy mayor of Los Angeles now.

62 Million Archie Bunkers voted for what you see here. 62 Million Trumpists. 62 Million fans of Trump's brand of extreme fascism. It was already bad enough the we've had decades of creeping, incremental fascism from our two major political parties but that just wasn't enough for those who voted for the man who, according to at least one of his ex-wives, keeps a book of Hitler's speeches by his bedside. 62 Million longed for a completely totalitarian regime of brutality and they're getting it. They hate those who protest against police who murder. They support those who steal children from the arms of their parents and lock those children in cages. It's the stuff of the original old nightmarish German and Russian fairytales. Republicans do all this while they falsely profess to be pro-family and chant that "every child deserves a mother and father." 62 Million republicans, fake independents and even some democrats looked at Trump, saw the obvious, and still said "that's my guy". For the majority of them, Trump was the hero they have been waiting for, and, still is.

The Trumpists twist Romans 13 from their bible using a quote that was once used to justify slavery and later used to justify Hitler's nazism. They twist the Bible for their own sick purposes just like sick Muslim terrorists twist the verses in the Koran. Trump supporters look at the little boy in tonight's meme and they see MS-13 because they have embraced and nurtured their hates and their fears and allowed themselves to be programmed to do so. They tweet things about the need to electro-shock this boy. They call him a "monkey". This is the result of decades of conservatism. It's not the end result, though. That's shaping up to be even worse. Republicans in Virginia have recently nominated an avowed and proud white supremacist as their candidate named Corey Stewart for the U.S. Senate. Sure, there are already white supremacists in the Senate but now they aren't even pretending to be something other than what they are. And the Trump-supporting Stewart is no outlier. Stewart was one of the organizers of the infamous Charlottesville nazi parade of Trump's "very fine people." In Illinois, republican voters have nominated Neo-Nazi and holocaust denier Arthur Jones for the House Of Representatives. Represent indeed.

On Monday, Trump's "very fine" Secretary of Homeland Security Kristjen Nielsen had so much contempt for lives and truth that she publicly stated, "We do not have a policy of separating families at the border. Period." just like Trump's first press secretary, Sean Spicer stood before the media and told the nation that the crowd at his idol's inauguration was the biggest ever. Did Nielsen think we wouldn't find out? It's probably more of an issue of her not even caring if we found out. In any event, to the 62 Million, it's all "fake news." If the KKK's David Duke had Trump's money and corporate backing, he'd be in the White House instead of Trump, chanting "America First" and burning crosses on the White House lawn. Stay tuned. There's little doubt that the same 62 Million would have voted for him as well, and they may yet have the opportunity. Oh, happy day.
