Donald Trump had a problem. A problem called “democracy.” See, he LIKED being President, (well, not the work part, but definitely charging the Secret Service to pee) but those rat-bastard Founding Fathers built all these dumb ol’ “elections” into their dumb ol’ “Constitution,” and smack dab in the middle of an economy you personally wrecked and a pandemic you disastrously mismanaged is nobody’s idea of a great time for a performance review.

Hans Christian Andersen’s Classic Tale, “Chuck Todd & the Normalization Fairy™️”

Monday, June 24th, 2019

 

Y’know, we went into this presidency with expectations somewhere between “incessant shitstorm” and “the end of all human civilization,” but sometimes I still can’t fathom how we arrived at the monstrosity of this moment. But then I realized, we’ve been receiving regular visits from the Normalization Fairy™️!

The Normalization Fairy™️ transforms the abominable into the everyday, through the simple act of repetition. You see something horrific in the news, and scream “How the living fuck can we allow this to happen?!?” and then a month later it’s still happening but somehow there’s a new episode of The Bachelorette every week, so I guess we’ve figured out how to live with it. That’s the Magic of Normalization!

(Some will claim I’m ripping off Paul Krugman’s “Confidence Fairy” bit, and to those who do, I say you’re goddamn right I am.)

For example, not an hour after the last rant went up (I don’t do updates; the bathrobe-and-lucha-mask-wearing drunkard’s union forbids it.) we learned that Hairplug Himmler waddled riiiiight up to the line of bombing Iran (probably to get John McCain’s ghost to stop haunting him), only to back down at seemingly the last possible instant, and we all went “Oh, that wacky Dotard, he just can’t make up his silly ol’ mind,” rather than “HOLY FUCKBALLS, A DANGEROUSLY MISINFORMED NITWIT VERY NEARLY LAUNCHED ANOTHER FUCKING MIDDLE EAST WAR, A QUAGMIRE GUARANTEED TO DEVOUR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND THOUSANDS OF LIVES!”

This, my friends, is the Normalization Fairy™️ at work. Reckless, nonsensical, ever-shifting, often-contradictory, foreign policy? That’s just how shit works nowadays, gosh I hope he doesn’t nuke Tehran HAW HAW HAW but seriously, he’s not gonna do that…right?

Anyway, one of the great things about living in this batshit day and age is realizing all those simple fables you were heard as a child do in fact contain real, applicable, wisdom. The Boy Who Cried Wolf? TOTALLY REAL. There are so damn many conflicting accounts of the almost-but-not-quite Iran strike, from the Pentagon, from anonymous sources, from the Shart House, from Iran, that we have NO FUCKING IDEA what really went down, or why. But you instinctively ruled out President Ostomy Bag’s version, didn’t you? Because he’s a lying liar who lies. There’s a lot of room for fuckery in a scenario where the American people don’t trust their own President, even in matters of war, and let’s hope no wolves figure out the specifics before the flock gets to elect a new shepherd.

We keep learning more about the horrors of the Trump Concentration Camps, seemingly every hour. While I’ve literally lost track of the articles documenting the barbaric conditions in these hellholes, the Republican Party remains laser focused on the real problem; the shameful incivility of applying the (1000% accurate) “concentration camp” label to the MOTHERFUCKING CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

Nifty little Super Villain Team-Up going down in Oregon, with the state-level GOP adapting to their massive failures at the ballot box by partnering with heavily-armed domestic terrorists! I tell you what, ever since James Cameron took over the Bundy Ranch franchise, everything’s gone to shit. And friends, if our new pixie pal works her magic here, what will have is fascism. Right-wing governance at the point of a gun. Normalize at your own risk.

Did you hear about E. Jean Carroll? You may not have. You probably never imagined you’d live in a world where a woman offering a credible, supported, story of her rape by the sitting President of the United States doesn’t rate as front page news, but you do. “Ho-hum, how many is that now? Yes, of course he probably did it. No, he won’t face any consequences whatsoever, and not one single evangelical ‘Christian,’ from the dingiest Appalachian diner to the floor of the United States Senate, will abandon him for it.”

Even when the Adderall-Addled Assclown’s desperate claim that he never met Carroll was actually preemptively debunked by a photograph in the original article, the story barely registered. The Normalization Fairy™️ isn’t a “good” fairy, in case that was unclear.

(Demented little follow-up to this story; I guess a Trump-supporting executive over at the New York Murdoch Rag, excuse me, “Post” ordered the removal of multiple stories covering Carroll’s allegations from their website! Somebody’s been reading Orwell for Dummies!)

Another story the Normalization Fairy™️ mischievously buried was the bit where Baron Golfin von Fatfuk petulantly threatened a reporter from Time Magazine with prison time, mid-interview. Just casually. Hey, it’s just how he talks. No big deal. It’s, like, his catchphrase. “I will use the power of the state to crush all dissent, to punish any pushback, however slight.” Cue laugh track. Roll credits.

And Sharty McFly had so much fun backing down from his threatened attack on Iran, he backed down on his threatened massive weekend immigration raids, too. Never have I been so grateful for the trembling cowardice at the heart of all his braying bullying.

But of course now the Grifter Grand Wizard is falling back on his favorite political tactic: hostage-taking! “If Democrats don’t agree to remake the immigration system to match the one Stephen Miller sketched out in 8th grade in his fanfic sequel to the Turner Diaries, I’ll resume my cruel, despised, raids, and that will be all Democrats’ fault!” Amazing. Old bastard’s unfit for the presidency for God knows how many reasons, but “inability to learn from repeatedly making the exact same mistake” should be way up there on that list.

Again, it’s this bizarre combination of Chief-Wiggum-esque bumbling, and raw evil. On the one hand, you have a cud-brained dolt, smugly deploying a strategy that has blown up in his face repeatedly, which is pretty fucking funny…on the other, the President of the United States is saying SUBMIT TO ME COMPLETELY OR I WILL CONTINUE TORTURING CHILDREN, SOME OF THEM TO DEATH.

A federal judge unsealed a treasure trove of text messages between Paul Manafort and Sean Hannity, granting enthralling insight into the bromance that blossomed between two of America’s leading shitmaggots, as they worked to destroy the rule of law for fun n’ profit.

And here’s the Normalization Fairy™️ once more, to sprinkle some pixie dust on the Cruel Litter Box of Objective Reality she’s about to rub our noses in: these texts, which conclusively prove Hannity colluded with a multiple felon in order to deceive his viewers on behalf of the criminal cabal squatting in our White House, will not lead ONE brainwashed Fux drone to question their estimation of him as the lone beacon of truth in a sea of “fake news.”

Now a word from our sponsor, Folgers!

“We’ve replaced Chuck Todd with a stuffed muskrat doll that goes, ‘Whatever you say, Mr. President!’ whenever you pull its string; let’s see if America can tell the difference!*”

In a world with a genuinely urgent need for brave, professional, journalists to speak truth to power, Chuck Todd aspires to no greater heights than “giving power a brief, ineffective, shoulder massage. If I may amend a famous phrase, ever so slightly, “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross, and Chuck Freaking Todd will hold the door open for it, and ask it if it would like a Diet Coke.”

Anyway, Chuck-O gave America one helluvan interview, if your tastes in journalism run to the sycophantically humiliating. President Gas Station Urinal Cake repeated his long-ago-disproven lies about how he wasn’t responsible for his own family separation policy, that was all Obama in a Donald Trump mask. And how many Americans, with lives too full to follow the news closely, watched that segment, and assumed, because Todd made no correction, that this horseshit spin was the objective truth?

Additionally, Fat Q*Bert, whose track record since assuming office is like What if the Cleveland Browns Had a Meth Problem, says his “biggest mistake” was appointing Jefferson Beauregard Sessions Th’Third as his first Attorney General. Because it led to the Mueller investigation, you see. The one that uncovered all those felonies. Yes, including the coordinated conspiracy of a hostile foreign power to attack our nation.

(By the way, yes, Chucky really asked THIS President at THIS moment in time what he would do if he could have “one do-over.” It’s just a shame we didn’t have time to find out who Fuckhead’s favorite Spice Girl is.)

We’re still not done with this fucking interview, by the way. Wouldn’t want to skip over the latest episode of The Most Powerful Man in the World Cravenly Kisses Murderous Autocrat Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud’s Ass, would we?

Watching our President scrape and bow to such a cheap thug, ever eager to sell out the values that made America the greatest nation in the history of the world for the equivalent of the change in MBS’ sofa, makes me want to find the precise global pinpoint I’d need to stand on so that when I projectile vomit enough H.R. Giger-Xenomorph-style acid to burn through the entire planet, it winds up melting Shart-O’s tacky-ass gold toilet when it finally comes out on the other side.

…the Normalization Fairy™️is dating Chuck Todd, did I mention that?

Contrast Todd’s Would You Like a Breath Mint While You Use My Platform to Lie to the American People, Sir? debacle with Jake Tapper’s interview of Vice President Mike Pants. Watching it, you’d almost think Tapper was engaged in an elaborate piece of performance art designed specifically to shame Chuck, but then you realize “no, he’s just demonstrating fairly rudimentary, honest, journalism.”

See, Mikey Hairshirt told some lies, about stuff like pollution and asylum seekers, and rather than offering him a spotlight and a megaphone, Jake called him out on his bullshit. Admittedly, Tapper didn’t swear as much as I would have, or, y’know, kick the skeevy little creep square in the junk like he deserves, but I’ll overlook all that in light of the segment where he made the Pusillanimous Puritan squirm trying to reconcile his loudly-professed-but-seldom-actually-followed Christian beliefs with the concentration camps full of children his administration is running.

While we’re on the subject, to any historians in the far-flung future who may be reading this, kindly note that when the chips were down, Pious Pencey-Poo chose torturing children over the teachings of Christ, without a nanosecond’s hesitation or a thimbleful of regret. In fact, if that’s not on his tombstone, fix that shit right now.

In sports, the world champion Toronto Raptors announced they will not be visiting the Shart House, possibly because they don’t wish to consume stale fast food in the presence of a slovenly fascist.

A new romantic comedy, Blocking Annie Donaldson, starring Katherine Heigl, will tell the tale of a former White House attorney, and the lawless federal government trying to prevent her from testifying before the House Judiciary Committee in the name of “absolute immunity,” which, like “presidential harassment,” and “John Barron,” is not a real thing. They haven’t worked out the ending yet, it’s either gonna be the tearful airport reunion between America and the Rule of Law, or the death of democracy. We’ll see how the test screenings go.

Team Treasonweasel is similarly blocking Kellyanne Conway from testifying about the Hatch Act violations she collects like fucking Pokémon. Wonder if she can find a willing militia to back her up on this one.

Axios got ahold of a bunch of the Tangelo-Tinted Taint Tumor’s Transition Team’s vetting documents (a handful of soggy Burger King napkins, no doubt), revealing that they fully understood the goons they were screening for Cabinet-level gigs were basically a great big flock of rectums…but they hired them anyway.

There was an entirely understandable red flag on General David Patraeus, who, after all, leaked classified intelligence to the woman he was cheating on his wife with, because after months of leading your frothy hordes in maniacal LOCK HER UP chants, you couldn’t very well hire a dude who indisputably and admittedly committed greater crimes that Hillary Clinton was ever accused of. JUST KIDDING the “red flag” was because Davey Boy opposes torture.

Anyway, just a quick heads-up, anyone who is willing to accept a post aboard the Good Ship Treasonweasel? That’s your red flag. ANYBODY who would agree to work for such a malicious, subpar, grievance-driven, anti-intellectual, hate-filled, scrotal boil as you, Mr. Trump, sir, is utterly unqualified for whatever post you might have in mind, from Secretary of State down to whoever launders the Vice President’s hairshirt.

I see former Shart Campaign advisor Jason Miller lost his job over a juvenile Twitter rant directed at Jerry Nadler, and hang on, I’m confused, are consequences still a thing or not?

I gotta ask you, folks…Are you ready to move to SESTAKISTAN? Because there’s a brand new presidential candidate in town, and he’s absolutely SESTAKULAR! Get ready, America, because he’s the LAST SESTAKTION HERO and oh god please make it stop please please please tie up all the old white guys who aren’t running for President already before they get any ideas please please please.

Hey, if anybody isn’t thoroughly revolted by day’s news yet, your Commander-in-Chief thinks he can deflect rape allegations by saying “she’s not my type.” Did I mention this man’s political base is comprised almost entirely of the performatively religious?

Well, that’s all the shit that’s fit to wade through tonight, folks. Just a heads up, I won’t be posting this Thursday cuz I’ll be watching the SUSPICIOUSLY SESTAKLESS Democratic primary debate (and it sure would be nice to have some beer to drink while I watch, HINT HINT) instead. I’ll check in with y’all on Friday.

*Yeah, I use the Folgers joke too much. You don’t like it, write your own fucking blog.
