Jeff Tiedrich - mental health break, once again

Donny is in bad need of his own very long mental health break right now. a couple of days ago, Sundowning Grandpa Befuddlepants held one of his tiresome dog-and-pony shows in the Oval Bordello, and his Emotional Support World Leader for the day was Fred Mertz.

-snip-

anyway, there Donny was, in the middle of doing some piss-baby bellyaching about how the UK was being so unfair to him, when he made the stunning admission that he’s always had a special affinity for Germany, because that’s where his father was born.

“my father was born — he knows all about my father — my father was born there. these are places you automatically very— very feel warmly about.”

bzzzt! wrong answer. how the fuck does Donny not remember that his tyrant Klansman father was born in the Bronx, in 1905? it was Donny’s draft-dodging, brothel-operating grandfather Friedrich Drumpf who had been born and raised in Bavaria.

1. Off topic, I know, but every time I see a new image of the Oval Office, there's more garish gold shit everywhere.

It's like a cancer, metastasizing uncontrollably.

3. Someone should remind him that King Midas, he of "the Golden Touch", suffered quite a comeuppance.

Years ago, I saw a Saturday morning cartoon version of King Midas, whose touch turned everything to gold. In a dramatic gesture of victory, he made a fist and thumped his chest with it -- thus touching himself, and turning himself into gold. Nice twist.
