"Donald tRUMP is much more than a national embarrassment; he is a national obscenity"
----from "The Quotations of Chairman Joe"
In what had to be one of the strangest
spectacles to ever disgrace the republic, White House Press Secretary Sean
Spicer held his first news conference and took to the podium not to announce
new policy but to denounce press coverage of the inauguration, boldly and
falsely claiming that the crowd attending tRUMP’s ascendancy was the largest in
history, larger even than that attending Obama’s inauguration in 2009 or that
of Lyndon Johnson in 1965. Photos
rapidly produced by the park service immediately demonstrated otherwise,
including banks of empty seats lining the inaugural parade route right up to
the presidential grandstand in front of the White House itself. But tRUMP continues to contend otherwise,
believing what he needs to believe, facts to the contrary notwithstanding.
Orange Julius is a serial prevaricator, which
is to say, a pathological liar.
Everything coming from the mouth or computer (Twitter) of this man is
either a diversion, exaggeration, hyperbole, or outright boldface lie; all
designed to meet the deep emotional needs of a man with small hands and even
smaller ego; a man ill at ease with himself; a man compelled to resort to petty,
mean, small-minded acts of vengeance even at the cost of burying the larger
Rescumlican agenda beneath false assertions and tweet storms.
So the first press conference held by this
administration was not an attempt to lay out an agenda, explain changes in
policy, nor open the floor to questions and answers. Instead Spicer simply took the floor,
chastised the press for its reporting, and questioning the motives and by
extension the legitimacy of the 4th estate, and then called an
abrupt end to the spectacle storming off the stage. If the press had any intestinal fortitude it
would simply refuse now to cover the White House, for whatever comes out of the
White House is truth stood on its head.
We have now gone beyond spin into the nether regions and dark corridors
of the deeply psychotic and paranoid alternate universe of Steve Bannon, Alex
Jones, and Breitbart “News”. In the
less than immortal words of former tRUMP spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway we are
now presented with “alternate facts” which carry no discernable validation
except in the minds of the tin hats now in the White House; “facts” which the
White House now demands be taken more seriously than what the rest of humanity
clearly sees as universally discernable and measurable empirical reality.
Coming as it does on the heels of claims that
5 million illegals voted in the last election, thereby giving Hillary more
popular votes despite virtually no evidence that any voter fraud, not to
mention fraud at this level exist, tRUMP is emerging as a whining
pre-adolescent, easily slighted, thin-skinned, and easily played. The fact is that the ego of this little man
simply cannot stand the fact that more people voted for someone else,
especially when that someone else is a woman.
So, desperate to smudge the historical record he now calls for a
presidential commission to investigate bogus claims of large scale voter fraud.
The White House has rapidly degenerated into
a “Funhouse” house of mirrors, images of Orange Julius distorted to serve the
purposes of the moment, images endlessly replicated into infinity giving the
illusion of great depth when, in fact, there is no there, there.
Welcome to the New Order, get in line, bow
and genuflect before our very own Caesar Disgustus.
