“Only
in the mind of Disgustus”.
----from “The Quotations of Chairman Joe”
He
told us he would 'drain the swamp'. He told us that he would hire
'only the best'. He assured us that he is a 'stable genius', in
possession of only 'the best words'. On Faux News he
gave himself an A plus grade when asked to judge his performance.
Such are the delusions of Caesar; only in the mind of Disgustus.
Experience
is powerless to instruct. A year ago, in the wake of Hurricane Maria
Disgustus, however reluctantly, dragged himself through the wreckage
of Puerto Rico throwing paper towels to the assembled and assuring
the nation that the federal response was swift and effective, citing
a mere 16 deaths at the time and comparing his stewardship favorably
with that of the hapless 'two-cows' experience with Katrina more than
a decade earlier. But for months now, reports have surfaced that
the disaster on the island, always understood to be very extensive,
was much more deadly than reported. Of course the nation's attention
has moved on, from one 'tweetstorm' to another as the
birdbrain-in-chief regularly vents his spleen. But the picture of
the incompetence as well as the mendacity of this foul administration
is slowly beginning to emerge.
This
week a report commissioned by the governor of Puerto Rico and
conducted by George Washington University confirms the worst. Not
only has it taken nearly a year to get some kind of reliable power
back on for most of the island, but that the death toll has shot up
to not the 65 or so reported last winter but to 2,965—more than
double the mortality of New Orleans, making this administration's
response one of the worst federal responses to a natural disaster in
the history of this country. But such is the state of our politics
that this sorry record of gross incompetence barely gets mention in
the daily news.
Nevertheless,
the fool on the hill remains clueless, convinced—or trying to
convince—that he is a prime candidate for enshrinement on Mount
Rushmore.
However,
the façade is beginning to crack. As much as he croaks about the
'witch hunt' being conducted against him, as much as he cries that
the investigations are illegitimate and that there “was no
collusion”, the country is, increasingly, having none of it.
According
to the most recent Washington Post/ABC poll,
63% of Americans support Robert Mueller's probe into the chicanery of
Disgustus including nearly a third—32% of Rescumlickans. Only 29%
of those polled oppose Mueller's investigations. Moreover, 60% now
disapprove of Disgustus, 53% --a clear majority, strongly
disapprove. Caesar Disgustus
has the lowest approval rating of any 'president' since such polling
began in the 1940's. Indeed, so serious is this becoming that a
plurality of Americans
49%-46% now favor beginning impeachment proceedings. This is the
highest level of support for impeachment ever recorded, topping the
previous high-water mark set by Bill Clinton and now including 15% of
Republicans polled. Clearly, even the 'bucket of deplorables' has
sprung a leak. One can hear the word 'impeachment' in the halls of
Congress and, increasingly, being muttered in the West Wing as the
air surrounding Disgustus is slowly sucked out of the room.
The
daily 'tweetstorms' and Giuliani's bombast are clearly not working.
While Disgustus daily sings his own praise the country is becoming
less and less convinced as the stench of this administration fills
the nostrils of the nation. Disgustus thinks he deserves an A-plus.
41% of the nation, according to other reports, now say our
self-anointed Caesar is the worst president in American history.
'An'
Br'er Putin, he jus' laugh and laugh”
Impeach
and Imprison
