Donald Trump freak effigy in gold trolls CPAC

 

When first seeing this, my wife asked me, "Have these Trump adoring Republicans always been this insane?" It's a reasonable question when witnessing the parading of a cheap, gaudy gold statue of Donald Trump through the halls of the CPAC convention. It's even too ridiculous to be considered a false idol as Exodus 20:4-6 in the Bible depicts it...

"You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God..."

This pretty much covers what Trump thinks of himself, and of course his endearing followers. But is this pathetic adoration as far as it goes, or does this behavior signal the final breach with reality in the Donald Trump chump following?  There were probably hundreds of hugging worshippers, and you have to wonder if these double-digits knew how absurd they looked, or has the passage from the Bible, above, become reality with Trump as the Messiah? And this includes evangelicals.

And, was the statue even displayed during Trump's speech? In the short amount of time I could stomach watching it, no. Tommy Zegan, the artist behind the gold monstrosity says he tried to present it to Trump at Mar-a-Lago with no success. Is it possible that Donald Trump is distancing himself from a likeness that looks fat and bloated and which is carrying a gold star? Zegan says he could probably get $100,000 for it. Probably tome to cut his losses and hope history is kind.

Is this the end to the NRA? One can only hope

 

The NRA's head gun nut, Wayne LaPierre, is never at a loss for words, but that look on LaPierre's face (left) stems from the fact that the organization is definitely at a loss for money. As ABC News expressed it, "NRA is 'out of ammo.'" The first salvo came from New York...

"Prosecutors in New York sued the NRA last summer in a bid to dissolve the gun lobbying juggernaut, accusing it of being 'fraught with fraud and abuse' -- a claim the NRA has repeatedly and vehemently denied."

This resulted in the NRA filing for bankruptcy protection and announcing plans to reincorporate in Texas. If the snowstorm isn't bad enough, now this deplorable group wants to come to Texas. But...

"Legal experts interviewed by ABC News posit that the chances of a dismissal are strong, particularly given the NRA's insistence that the organization remains financially viable -- a position that undermines the traditional purpose of a Chapter 11 claim."

Canada to ban handguns after banning assault weapons... 

 Spelling doom for the NRA in the U.S. will give gun control advocates optimism, especially with this headline, "Canada expected to pass sweeping gun legislation that includes banning handguns." And yes to American gun nuts, with Biden administration already working on new gun laws, we may soon be coming for your weapons. The way I see it, if you must invoke the 2nd Amendment, a rifle or a shotgun should suffice the need to protect your home.

Canada banned assault rifles in May of 2020, and the new handgun law will make the country a much safer place to live. Giffords Law Center confirms "that openly carrying firearms endangers public safety," so the confiscation of handguns would serve to eliminate that problem as well. In addition, a Gallup Poll has found that "A majority of Americans are dissatisfied with gun laws and policies in the U.S., 56% want stronger gun laws, 42% don't.

And without the NRA's fraudulent propaganda, there is every possibility that Joe

Biden's administration will be able to push through reasonable gun control legislation. In the move to Texas, LaPierre may have opened another can of worms. If the Texas bankruptcy does move forward, Judge Harlin Hale of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas could...

"choose to appoint a trustee to investigate allegations of fraud -- or even assume control of the organization."

If the above proceeds...

"The first thing a trustee would do would be to, in effect, take over control of the organization, all of the assets, and all of the records," said Jay Westbrook, a bankruptcy scholar at the University of Texas-Austin. "That would be a very undesirable development from the point of view of the people now controlling the NRA."

Pamela Foohey, a bankruptcy law professor at the University of Indiana, feels that would be a bad move for the NRA because...

"The most likely scenario in bankruptcy when a trustee is appointed is a plan of liquidation, then dissolution."

Head gun nut, Wayne LaPierre, has been accused of using the NRA as a "personal piggy bank" by the New York Attorney General. And now Phillip Journey, a Kansas state judge who was recently elected to the NRA board of directors, asked the court...

"to appoint an "independent examiner" to determine 'the veracity of the alleged fraud, dishonesty, incompetence, and gross mismanagement that has plagued the NRA's reputation.'"

Judge Journey also "suggested that NRA leadership failed to properly inform board members of its plan to file bankruptcy -- a possible violation of the organization's bylaws." Denials are flying all over the place, but when you consider the history of the NRA, particularly its leader, Wayne LaPierre, almost anyone who has followed this gang of thugs will tell you there is probably something illegal going on. And those same people, at least most of them, will hope the NRA goes down this time.

America in Conflict

With 390 million guns on U.S. streets in a country of 329 million people, one would expect gun violence. And we got it with a 50% increase in mass shootings in 2020, plus in the first seven weeks of 2021, there have been 63 mass shootings. Read more...

Conservative talk radio is the talk of the misguided

 

There is no question that conservative talk radio has been and still is in the forefront of that genre. It is so well developed and constantly honed that the folks on the left are literally following in their dust. Why is this true? There is an answer, but you right-handers won't like it. 

Think Pied Piper of Hamelin. Someone who offers strong but delusive enticement; or, a leader who makes irresponsible promises; or, a charismatic person who attracts followers. I told you, but you might take solace in the fact that these characterizations came from a quick Internet search. However, that does not dampen their validity or authentication in this case. And the fact that Rush Limbaugh had 15 million of these poor souls simply proves my point.

If you cretins are now surfing the airwaves like a bunch of nomads lost in the desert, searching for another bogus icon to look up to do yourself a favor, read a comic book, or watch reality TV shows or go to McDonalds and order a Whopper. Fox News seems to have lost its glow since Donald Trump reluctantly left the White House, and those of you on Twitter no longer have your idol to tweet with because he is banned. Take my advice, above, and, if you must, mourn Limbaugh.

 

PARODY: U.S. gun owners willingly give up their weapons

This week marks a change of format in Nasty Jack posts featuring parody to illustrate just how hilarious and absurd the political scene can be. Enjoy!

Clyde Gunsareme had his shiny GLOCK 17 GEN 3 9MM 4.49" BARREL 17-ROUNDS ready for U.S. Marshalls who were confiscating all private owner handgun weapons. It was still loaded after taking it off the coffee table where it had been displayed since he bought it so his 6 and 7-year-old kids could look at it and marvel. Clyde wanted his children to worship guns just like he did. One day the 7-year-old brother had picked up the Glock, aimed it at his sister, and pulled the trigger. Fortunately he was a lousy shot and the round just took out the family TV.

Clyde, and his gun nut friends, had known this confiscation violation of their 2nd Amendment rights was coming so they all got together and called the NRA's head gun nut, Wayne LaPierre. But, as one might expect, LaPierre was too busy with the gun manufacturers to spend time helping NRA membership. This pissed off the rank and file gun huggers so they quietly decided to break in to the group's main office and steal LaPierre's well used manual, "What is a Gun."

Republicans are eating themselves alive on the way to extinction

 

Just tale a look to your left if you're curious why the Republican Party is suddenly vaporizing. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kevin McCarthy, Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley. Of course you could throw in Moscow Mitch McConnell for a full house. These people scrape the bottom of the barrel; they are the epitome of incompetence with the kind of leadership that lacks judgment and logic.

In a word they are idiots. Contrary to any reasoning, there is another idiot by the name of Donald Trump. In all his glory of beating the impeachment game, he has made the Republican Party look like the kind of losers and bogus politicians they actually are. And the American GOP public is beginning to see the sign and jump a sinking ship. Trump was acquitted simply because Republicans agree with him and are also scared shitless of his supporters, a swarm of inept terrorists.

And to back up all this hype about disenchanted conservatives, there is a report from the New York Times that shows, "the alarmingly high number of voters who
opted to change their registration." Here's an example...

"Since the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, more than 200,000 voters across several states have left the Republican Party. While shifts are normal after elections, the publication noted how distinctly different this one is."

Republicans leaving Party...

 One deserter made something clear that many of us have been saying for some time...that the GOP has lost its morals. I believe this kind of ideology hit overdrive when Karl Rove joined the Geo. W. Bush administration. But it is Republican Liz Cheney that put the Jan. 6 riots in clear perspective...

"You certainly saw anti-Semitism. You saw the symbols of Holocaust denial. ... You saw a Confederate flag being carried through the rotunda..."

There's more in this CNN article from Chris Cillizza which deserves reading.

 

PARODY: Donald Trump and Ann Coulter go up in flames in Tenn.

This week marks a change of format in Nasty Jack posts featuring parody to illustrate just how hilarious and absurd the political scene can be. Enjoy!

Tennessee is not exactly the most liberal state; actually, it is ultra-conservative. But hidden in the stacks of books in a Chattanooga library was a left-wing tyrant who thought both Donald Trump and Ann Coulter should be exorcised from the pages of history. Our hero, Cameron Williams is a local Black Lives Matter activist, and one of his jobs was to regularly purge the library shelves of obsolete and/or inconsequential titles. 

When he ran across books relating to Donald Trump and Ann Coulter, he only did what his common sense told him was right...dump this shit. The fact that he set fire to these titles ensued from the stories his grandfather used to tell him about the Ku Klux Klan that made it their goal to burn down everything they didn't like.
