Their lies are beginning to take on an immutable, cartoonish stature:
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s
defenders are brushing off reports that he asked his acting FBI
director how he voted in the presidential election as simply Trump’s way
of “getting to know people.”
Right - so after having already sacked one FBI director who refused to bow and kiss his ring, and pledge personal loyalty, Trump's querying of the new director Andrew McCabe about who he voted for in the election was just his way of "getting to know" him.
Listen - it's a given that all politicians lie to some extent or another. But these Trump people -- they have created a whole new paradigm of unflinching lying and bullshit that transcends anything, at least in this country's history, that has ever been seen before. It's fucking scary.
They lie about e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g - significant and insignificant - and you just have to wonder as to what variety of catastrophe (not like the stark reality of their being in power isn't already one) their lies will eventually lead this nation to.
Among the more head-scratching claims adult film star Stormy Daniels reportedly made about her alleged sexual affair with Donald Trump in her 2011 interview with In Touch magazine is that the now-president is “terrified” of sharks. Daniels, 38, says she learned about the former Celebrity Apprentice
host’s fear of the fish during a dinner with him at his Beverly Hills
Hotel room — months after allegedly meeting him and sleeping together at
a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe in July 2006. “The strangest thing about that night … [is] you
could see the television from the little dining room table [that] he was
watching Shark Week,” she claimed, added that the special was about one of the worst shark attacks in history. “He is obsessed with sharks. Terrified of sharks,”
Daniels claimed. “He was like, ‘I donate to all these charities and I
would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the
sharks die.’ He was like riveted.”
The Gadfly is certain people are going to be shocked when ALL OF THE TRUTH comes out about their pResident . . . . . oh - and The Gadfly talked about this very same subject in a previous post:
Judd Legum There are credible allegations that the President of the United States
engaged in an affair with an adult film actress, paid her over $100,000
to keep quiet about it weeks before the election, and is now actively
engaged in an elaborate cover-up.
According to reports, Daniels was able to extract a $130,000 payment to
keep quiet about her affair with Trump. How many other women have
stories about Trump that he does not want told? This is potentially a
very dangerous predicament for a sitting president. In the unverified
Steele dossier, there is an allegation that Russian officials have
information about Trump’s interactions with sex workers in Moscow that
Russian agents are using as leverage. There is not evidence that this is
true (although Trump’s bodyguard confirmed he was offered the sexual attention of prostitutes)
but Daniels’ story suggests similar circumstances may be possible.
Trump, reportedly, has things to hide and is willing to go to
substantial lengths to hide them.
The Daily Beast was informed late Friday that porn star Jessica Drake
is not allowed to discuss President Donald J. Trump on account of a
non-disclosure agreement she signed barring her from any such talk. NDAs
are often deployed as part of settlements to silence accusers. “Jessica’s
NDA blankets any and every mention of Trump, so she’s legally unable to
comment,” her publicist, Josh Ortiz, informed The Daily Beast. “Jessica
signed a non-disclosure agreement after her allegations of misconduct,
and she can’t do as much as peep his name publicly.”
The Gadfly would wager good, honestly earned, lower middle-class, non-exempt paycheck money that there are dozens of these Drumpf NDA's (non-disclosure agreements) floating around out there that have absolutely fucking nothing to do with real estate nor any other aspect of legitimate business world transactions (yes - The Gadfly knows - insert Trump as a businessman joke here).
If you've ever listened to any of Howard Stern's radio shows, there are myriad instances, over many years, of Dashing Donny musing on-air about his lustful tendencies and insatiable appetite for young, nubile wenches. His dalliances with porn stars is ho-hum not-news to people like The Gadfly who have actually followed Donald Trump's very public "career"and heard him boasting of his mighty sexual conquests all over the globe.
Listen - please, once and for all - you few remaining, possibly reasonable Trump supporters. Donald Trump is a grifter and con artist. He's a litigious backstabbing "businessman" who feels much more comfortable sitting around a boardroom table with mafia crime bosses than he does with legitimate American corporate business leaders. He surrounds himself with emotionally prepubescent political groupies, fawning yes men and women, and no evidence at all exists that he is capable of humbly seeking counsel from people who are mature, intelligent and possess natural leadership skills and experiences.
He lies incessantly, and is a comically obtuse narcissist. He has the disposition of a pit viper and the moral verisimilitude and humanity of Simon Legree.
Oh -- and it cannot be pointed out nearly fucking enough that the July, 2006 alleged "Tighty Whities" hotel/porn star incident took place a mere couple of months after his son Barron was born to him and his wife of 16 months, Melania.
And that is what prompted the Gadfly's explicit "amazing" admonition at the opening of this post.
It is practically impossible for The Gadfly to fathom how conservative, God fearing America would be reacting to news stories that might have come out a year in to Barack Obama's first term, that entailed accusations that Obama had paid off some porn starlets in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and in doing so, secured legal agreements from these porn starlets sealing their silence -- and that at least one of the dalliances occurred shortly after the birth of a child with a new, young wife.
Can you imagine dear readers -- the hew and the cry, hither and yonder, that would have been belched forth by "real" American, religious conservatives, who are now Trump's base, should such a story have ever shown up in The Wall Street Journal about Barack Hussain Obama?? O. M. F. G.
It's the primary reason that The Gadfly does not ever . . . FUCKING EVER! . . . ever, ever, ever again -- care at all to hear any religious conservatives preaching on the subject of "moral values." It is quite apparent that an unfortunate majority of those conservatives simply have none --moral values that is -- or at least do not have any that are borne of intrinsic human honesty and decency.
You "morals values" spouting conservatives really do need to coherently explain how it is that you can refer to yourself as a moral person and still support a moral monster like Donald John Trump. And you can delude (lie to) yourself all that you can, but that would only underscore just how far you have lowered the bar on your own morals --- because, for all intent and purpose at that point, the bar is lying flat on the ground - it cannot get any lower than that.
The Gadfly is more than ready to have that conversation with evangelical conservatives, however, if their intransigence to date on coming clean over their hypocrisy on this situation is any indication, The Gadfly will not be wasting any of his valuable personal time waiting for that cathartic moment to come to pass.
President Trump pushed back against damning reports Friday that he paid
$130,000 to a porn star one month before the 2016 election in exchange
for her keeping mum about a sexual encounter they allegedly had over a
decade ago.
The porn star, Stormy Daniels, has stayed silent on the salacious
claims, except for a statement of denial supposedly signed by her and
circulated by Trump's personal attorney.
But on Friday night, another porn star, Alana Evans, shed some light on the matter, telling the Daily Beast that Daniels told her one day after the alleged tryst that Trump had chased her around a hotel room "in his tighty-whities."
"All I'm going to say is: I ended up with Donald in his hotel room.
Picture him chasing me around his hotel room in his tighty-whities,"
Evans said her fellow porn star told her the morning after she
supposedly had sex with Trump in July 2006.
The Gadfly cannot imagine how the rest of the world views our nation right now.
The Gadfly made a sincere attempt to put himself in the shoes of our allies - looking in from the outside on America. Dunno' - perhaps the methodology is all wrong, but all that The Gadfly could see is a country that, in all of it's majestic wisdom, has elected a soulless, 72 year old man-child who possesses the sexually deviant lifestyle of Charlie Sheen, has the business scruples of John Gotti, the intellectual capacity of Elmer Fudd (sorry Elmer) and the behavioral temperament of Joan Crawford , as the leader of the free world.
"Tighty-whities?" Say what??
Christ -- our long standing ally the U.K. (Britain) -- an ally that has stood steadfastly by America's side through two world wars, the cold war and just about every military venture since, publicly conveyed their relief this past week when Trump declared that he was cancelling his trip to London.
The Brits stated that they were relieved and that they believed that their own people's vocal opposition to the current American President's presence in their country is what scared Daring Donny away. Does not anyone else find it disturbingly un-fucking-believable that America's staunchest ally doesn't want to be seen palling around with the likes of the American President?
Alright -- hold it right there ...... before we proceed any further . . . The Gadfly just has to know - what the fuck are "tightie-whities???" . .
A
synonym for briefs . They are underwear worn for there support
purposes, antonym of boxers. The pros of tighty whities are support in
gym class and hiding an erection. The disadvantages are that if you are pantsed then your penis will appear smaller, and that they might strangle your penis.
Because of incidents in which prison inmates trousers started to fall down, many teenagers believe baggy pants are cool. Because of that, it became the cool thing to wear boxers instead of old fashioned tighty whities.
During a press briefing today, as Trump read off a prepared list of what he believes his incredible presidential accomplishments are, like he always does, Trump claimed he received letters of high praise from a lot of news anchors over yesterday's open immigration meeting.
Trump said, "Yesterday, we had a bipartisan meeting with House members and Senators on immigration reform, something they've been talking about for many, many years, but we brought them together in this room, and it was a tremendous meeting."
The media was incredibly impressed that the cameras were allowed so much time during their meeting.
He continued, "Actually, it was reported as incredibly good, and my performance - some of them called it a performance, I consider it work, but it got great reviews by everybody other than two networks, who were phenomenal for about two hours."
Donald claims network bosses told them to cut out his praise.
"Then after that, they were called by their bosses who said, 'oh, wait a minute.' Unfortunately, a lot of those anchors sent us letters saying that was one of the greatest meetings they've ever witnessed. And they were great."
"They probably wished they didn't send us those letters of congratulations," Trump said.
He then went on to proclaim that his ratings keep the networks from going out of business.
Is there not one single individual in Drumpf's sphere of influence who is capable of explaining to this cultural cripple of a president what "slow clapping" is?? Hmmmm?? . . . .
The Gadfly has to seriously question whether there honestly exists any other social or cultural aspects of reality - at all, aside from the collective, sadistic id of his hard core followers - that the mind of this "very stable genius" of a world leader is coherently attuned to.
Oh, and not that it matters much, to some apparently, but this daft sonofabitch has got the fucking nuclear codes.
Over the holidays I was at a family member's home and watching a CNN special about a trio of journalists who went to North Korea and for two weeks were allowed to go (with some measure of surveillance of course) among the North Korean people and ask them questions about their lives, their country and their dear leader. Here's an online excerpt:
We go down another, windy, road, and reach a site North Koreans consider sacred: the cabin where North Korea says Gen. Kim Jong Il was born. Our guide tells us the story of Kim’s supposedly mystical birth. “It was really cold and the weather was not normal. But somehow on that day the strong wind stopped all of a sudden, the sun began shining through. Everything was bright and a quiet calm took over. The flowers bloomed and in the sky was a particularly bright star,” our guide tells us. “Is that a legend or did it actually happen?” I ask. She insists it actually happened.
It was pretty fascinating. It was also a frightening parallel window in to the Trump fanatic's world view because a lot of the behaviors and the level of credulity and demonically possessed devotion that the North Koreans exhibit towards their dear leader Kim Jong Un and his father Kim Jong Il, is comparably mirrored by that of many of the most hard core of Trump's supporters.
And with the release this past week of Michael Wolff's incredible, hair-raising book "Fire and Fury" documenting his time wandering around the Trump White House for several months after that traveling freak show that we have come to know as the Trump administration took up residence, we clearly see now the reality that most sane people already knew, and that others are slowly coming to see the horror of, namely that this country has a bunch of self-interested, Peter Principle political hyenas and psychotic sycophants running our government.
Just take a look at this clip of CNN's Jake Tapper interviewing Trump's current favorite spokestoad Stephen Miller yesterday. It is a jaw dropping demonstration of the sort of delusional mind fuckery and intellectual flatulence of which only the North Korean people themselves could truly appreciate:
Tapper, vainly attempting to speak calmly over the manic screeching of Miller, finally had to tell him in politically correct terms, that he was full of the proverbial bull's shit and wasn't going to subject CNN's viewers to it. Tapper then nonchalantly directs the camera off of Miller in mid-screech, and cuts off his microphone. **[Note to other network and cable tv news outlets -- this is the absolutely correct way to deal with these lying weasels - as soon as they start in with the bullshit lying, tell them to their faces that they are full of shit and cut their microphones off.]
Anyhow, follow up reporting from today says that after Tapper cut to a commercial, he requested Miller please leave the studio. Miller, still ranting and screeching about the greatness of his dear leader Drumpf, refused to do so and security people were summarily called and they physically escorted his propaganda spewing ass off of the premises.
Now dear readers --- please explain to The Gadfly how Stephen Miller's behavior in that clip is any different than that of the North Korean tour guide exclaiming Kim Jong Il's celestial eminence and swearing by all that is known of it's veracity?
And that is why these Trump people scare the living shit out of The Gadfly -- much more so than a ragtag bunch of religious loons riding around in pick up trucks and living in caves in Pakistan. It's because these asshats are already here within our borders - in large numbers - with many of them heavily armed -- and just as many willing to justify and defend their mindless hero worship of their dear leader through subterfuge of our civic institutions and constitutional laws, and in some cases, even with violence.
It is classic nationalism and fascism any way you look at it and should it come down to it, The Gadfly will unrepentantly tell all of you that he is not averse to seeing yet another historical outcome for it in the vein that Mussolini and Hitler experienced calamitous denouements to their own attempts at spreading such a cancerous ideology. This disease simply must not be allowed to spread, and with the pincers of Robert Mueller's probe closing in, all bets are off as to how these very awful human beings are going to react.
“Fanatics can justify practically any atrocity to themselves. The more
untenable their position becomes, the harder they hold to it, and the
worse the things they are willing to do to support it.”
President Trump insisted Saturday that he is "a very stable genius,"
following the recent publication of a book that raises questions about
his mental state and fitness for office.
"Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart," Trump tweeted,
noting: "I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star ...
to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would
qualify as not smart, but genius ... and a very stable genius at that!"
. . . . .you don't say!? . . . please do go on . . . . .
There's going to be a whole new branch of psychiatry that will be created out of this hair-raising American experience with this delusional half-wit president and his equally delusional and stunningly dumb fucking supporters.
The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has scheduled a
briefing for later this month to outline how the public can prepare for
nuclear war . . . . . . This comes amid rising tensions between the U.S. and North Korea. President Trump tweeted Tuesday night, boasting about the size of his "nuclear button" and how it's "much bigger & more powerful" than North Korea's.
The Gadfly doesn't suppose that electing a delusional narcissist with the worldview of a toddler and the social skill sets of a bonobo monkey might have anything to do with the fact that here we are, nearly two decades in to the 21st century, and we're talking about reliving the 1950's where we were teaching our school children how to huddle under a little wooden desk in the event a nuclear strike was imminent....
Maybe Bert the Turtle will save us . . . .

Good god - what horror have the idiot citizens among us wrought?
This seriously changes the dynamics of all of this Russian election meddling shit and it begs a very obvious fucking question:
WASHINGTON
— More than a year after Republican leaders promised to investigate
Russian interference in the presidential election, two influential
Republicans on Friday made the first known congressional criminal
referral in connection with the meddling — against one of the people who
sought to expose it.
Senator
Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
and Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a senior committee member,
told the Justice Department that they had reason to believe that a
former British spy, Christopher Steele, lied to federal authorities
about his contacts with reporters regarding information in a dossier,
and they urged the department to investigate.
Steele played a vital role early in the Afghanistan conflict working with MI6 and allied Special Forces to target high level Taliban targets for capture and elimination. He subsequently rose in rank within MI6 to become a highly valued senior intelligence officer, and eventually became head of MI6's Russia intelligence desk.
To put this not so gaddamn, motherfucking bluntly --- Christopher Steele is a fucking hero and a patriot to not just his home nation of Britain, but to Britain's allies (yeah - that includes America you stupid right wing fuckers) and to democracy itself.
And now the Republicans want to persecute him. Why? The Gadfly could provide you dear readers with a truckload of cynical, manufactured motives that right wing conservatives are already floating to the top of the turd bowls masquerading as their mouths as the justification for this sudden interest in seeking criminal referrals against Christopher Steele. However, The Gadfly has no interest at this moment in wallowing in that pile of maggot-infested horse feces.
So why then? Well -- all that The Gadfly has to say to you dear readers is that with this suspicious turn of events, the very first inquisitive thought that popped in to The Gadfly's mind was -- how deep? How deep as in -- how deep does the treason with the Russians really go? And specifically now - with Grassley's and Graham's actions - how deep within the Republican party and in Trump/Republican supporting, oligarch America does this Russian ratfucking appeasement shit go?
It all jibes as well with the increased intensity in the past few weeks of coordinated (Trump/GOP) public attacks on the integrity of the FBI, the DOJ and by proxy the rest of the American intelligence and federal law-enforcement community.
Ask yourselves this dear readers.
Can any one of you show The Gadfly a single video tape, of any one of the top GOP leaders, stating for the record, that Russia, as a state, is indeed an enemy of the United States, and that Vladimir Putin is a murderous, authoritarian tyrant who would love nothing more than to see the destruction of American democracy and see it's alliances with European democracies damaged or destroyed, to the benefit of his empire, and -- that any American working in conjunction with Putin's Russia to sabotage and even alter the outcome of an American presidential election should most certainly be charged with the highest form of treason??
Just one video tape of just one high ranking Republican stating that stark, unambiguous truth and reality?? Not one?? . . .
The Gadfly rests his case.
There is ample evidence, at this juncture, that all of this Russia election meddling shit, enabled by a nation of frighteningly dumb-ass citizens turning a blind eye to it, isn't going to turn out well for this country. And people had better be prepared for when it doesn't.
