Instead of somber reflection or words to soothe an anxious nation, Trump delivered a blasphemous meditation on Trump: 77 minutes of self-indulgence, grievance and hatred of others.
Trump opened by maligning the press, complaining that he never gets a fair break from the fake news, which is (points dismissively) back there. By the third sentence he was referring to himself reverentially as Sir while calling everyone else by their first name.
Claiming hed done more for religion than any other president, Trump announced that Democrats were anti-religion, and said anyone who votes for Democrats must be Godless.
Treating prayer like a stump ad, Trump claimed Democrats oppose voter identification because they cheat, and fondly reminisced over his election win like it was a good game.
Beating these lunatics was incredible, right, what a great feeling, winning every swing state, winning the popular vote...

The religious hierarchy in the US would condemn it publicly if anyone else presented that shit,
He is a raving mad, out of control piece of shit with not one redeeming quality.

Perfect response from a guy selling $65 MAGAt Bibles with Lee Greenwood.

(7,524 posts)America was once a gem within a tumultuous world. A Pearl created within the worlds oyster. A Pearl whose existence and identity is that of a small grain of sand hardened by adversity into a gem.
As it grew its value, the pearls value was hijacked by greedy businessmen and thieves. Once in their possession, they mortgaged its value for their own vulgar, and decadent pleasures. Now, the thieves own the wealth and the oyster is empty.
The moral of the story? Never cast pearls before swine.
And Donald Trump is a pig.
And ETTD.

(20,683 posts)Where I currently live, there are many experiencing memory loss. Which is why they are in Memory Care. Some linger on and on. Some die quickly due to other health issues. Some are just plain old and their bodies wearing out. Some are old, but they still have their wits about them.
In TACO Don's case, the body and mind are rapidly declining at a pace faster than a Hare's. No amount of makeup, fresh Depends, or breath mints will mask the deterioration taking place before our eyes. He will take a fall in public and it will be grand to the naked eye. The reality that death is imminent will stimulate our senses for the time being.
Then comes the question, "What next?" JD does not have the love of the people. He represents the regime that nobody likes. As with the Roman Empire that crumbled under the weight of its own hubris, so will JD and the MAGA movement.
Forgive me for the analogies and metaphors.

Most, if not all, NPB attendees would not have taken kindly to being called Hypocrites.
Or being compared to graves which are covered with a fresh coat of paint.
Or being described as beautiful on the outside, but on the inside they are filled with bones and crap.
