– Donald J Trump looked like he would much rather have been undergoing root canal surgery without anesthesia as he took a few steps to the Western Wall in Jerusalem today –
— This morning’s news was typically ‘groan-worthy’ – twenty inches of snow fell in parts of Newfoundland.
— Donald J Trump is taking the Donald J Trump show on the road to Israel today, where he really looked like he would much rather be undergoing root canal surgery without any anesthesia than taking those few steps from a podium to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
— Very unscientifically, I get the feeling that the US pResident believes he is winning hearts and minds and convincing ‘everybody who matters’ that he is the greatest, most wise, most intelligent, person most worthy of being universally worshipped – as the most popular and admired president of the u.s.a. who ever was or ever could be —> All the time he obviously has no clue at all what messages he is constantly sending every intelligent, sensitive person on the planet with his body language, sneering looks, weird antics, and especially his choice of words and tone of voice every time he opens his mouth or tweets anything to anybody. His actions and presidential decrees seem to be assuring us all that he will be the most hated US President in History, and believe me, he has a lot of competition for that title.
— Meanwhile – watching a news network up here in Canada, it would be much too easy for me to jump to the conclusion that all the commercials have been carefully planned and plotted to convince everybody that they have no hope – that they have all painted themselves into a very dangerous corner with every choice and action they ever made, and they would probably be much better off if they just went away and quietly killed themselves somewhere, and should probably set themselves on fire so there would be no chance that the coming zombie apocalypse would re-animate their corpse and add a bunch of terrifying murders to their overwhelming mountains of guilt.
— Sigh —
— I should probably quit here, but —
— While watching part of a baseball game in which he Mets were being trounced yesterday, I caught a bit of self-promotion by WPIX television in which they highlighted a news story in which a New York City Rabbi had his telephone service cut off – it hadn’t worked in months. The telephone company had been contacted constantly and hadn’t fixed the problem, didn’t even seem to have bothered trying – all the while sending bills for the services they were not delivering – so he told the phone company to cancel those services he was not receiving. They sent him a bill for $175.00 for disconnecting his telephone, which hadn’t been connected for several months. —> I hope somebody charges that telephone company with criminal fraud – demanding payment for services they never provided –
— I also spent some time wondering if their was a go-fund-me page for ninjas for hire who promised to throw acid in the faces and private parts, and cripple (knee-cap?), cut the tongues out and slice off the hands of every executive in this world who designed and/or paid others to design and implement planned obsolescence in any form. —> Sigh, but if I found out there was such a page and/or such a group, and if I kicked in as much as one penny toward that end, I would still feel guilty and bad about the suffering of morons who had caused so many others to suffer —> Schnarr —> ya just can’t win, can ya?
— shrug — Will somebody please tell Donald J Trump that nobody who really matters gives a sh[*]t what his opinions are on any subject at all.
— Schnarr — ,
