Wake Up and Watch Trump Sleep!

The Weekend at Bernie's Presidency is now a documentary on Fox News. Praise Be!

Screencap from Fox News coverage of Trump sleeping

Sometimes, an old white dude’s gotta sleep.

I know this well. The other day, whilst tending the tomatoes, I found myself on my back, fast asleep, all four limbs sticking straight up in the air like I was being pulled up by tethers from the Marine One presidential helicopter.

This is why I don’t go on job interviews anymore. Have you ever waddled over to a whiteboard during the technical phase of an interview, cock sure of yourself, to map out a quick Fibonacci function, only to fall asleep whilst jotting down “i = 1”?

I have. I mean, who hasn’t, right?

One time, instead of the Fibonacci routine, I drew a clock (Draw CLOCK (Five past ten) ). Just an impulse, I suppose.

Then, they asked me to name animals.

Wait. No. This may have been a different interview.

Anyhoo, TrumpleDeadSkin fell asleep yet again, this time while holding court with his vanilla-colored sycophants in the Oval Office while they were extolling the virtues of coal. Remember coal?

Republicans do, and dammit, they’re going to save every single one of those 45,000 or so coal mining jobs if they have to burn down Canada to do it.

While explaining their plan, Lee Zeldin, the head of the EPA (formerly known as the Environmental Protection Agency), yammered on about how Democrats are trying to “strangulate” coal miners out of existence and make them learn coding.

Someone should tell Lee that his AI friends have pretty much strangulated coders out of existence, but that is a different post, methinks.

While Zeldin bloviated, Trump slept.

Breathe deep and relax

We are all distraught over the news lately. I’ve found myself often unable to talk seriously about it much here on Ruminato. I’m exhausted by it all. I’d have one of my staff writers do it for me if I had any.

But I’ve come to a conclusion that I think, believe it or not, is backed by evidence in the cover photo and video in this post.

What we are experiencing is the last gasp of a dying America. It’s an America dominated by a few white men.

In its place will be the vibrancy symbolized by Obama’s presidency. When diversity rears its mighty head in response to this mess, it will be bigger, badder, and more beautiful than ever. It cannot be contained.

I live in Atlanta, which is helping lead a Black Renaissance that is bringing a lot of other groups disparaged by MAGA along with it. The people here don’t care what the regime is doing. They’re moving on without them. And they’re gonna vote in droves.

We are experiencing a significant backlash to progress, yes, but it’s on the clock. Its expiration date is nearly upon us. Its lead jackal, Trump, is himself about to expire. You can see it in the video below. You can see it in the cover photo. You can see it in almost every news report about him we see.

And guess what? We’re all largely intact. We’ve survived. Many of us are wounded. But we survived. And as our wounds heal, we rise up and fight.

The more these old, desperate white men push, the more we resist.

The Senate last night finally pushed through their $70 billion immigration enforcement funding bill. I call it the Concentration Camp Act. This will turn ICE into the largest military/police organization in the country.

We’re ready for it. In November, we will begin to put this old regime, and this even older pile of frightened, old white men, to pasture.

I saw a news story today reporting that both the centrist and left wing of the Democratic Party agree on one thing: justice and accountability for the Trump/Epstein crime syndicate.

We’re in that phase where we will all soon need to end our respite from the battle, pull up our sleeves, and finish the job.

Take a few more weeks. Hug the kids and grandkids. Take them to the beach or to a ballgame.

Then, let’s crush these Neanderthals.

Here’s the full video of the sleeper in chief:

Have a great weekend.
