Going Home

Donald Trump, Jr. might be looking at a bit of trouble for his participation in a meeting in Trump Tower during the 2016 election.  For those not in the know, Don Jr, potentially (probably) with the knowledge of his father, took a meeting with a Russian lawyer in the hopes of getting dirt on Hillary in the election.  The more information that becomes public, especially as it relates to a statement by Jr, probably drafted by Sr, the less good it looks for Jr.  And I guess Papa Trump might be getting worried as well. Whether that is genuine concern over the welfare of his son or concern for himself over the blowback is up to whoever is telling the story.  But whichever the case, it’s certainly causing Trump and his legal team time and energy.  And the flip flopping over Don Sr.’s level of knowledge of the incident before it happened is only causing more waves.  All I can imagine is that Trump would rather Jr. be out of reach for the time being.

Who Are the Real Nazis?

Donald Trump, Jr. is a true to life comedy movie villain.  Very specifically, he’s the douchey guy with slick backed hair, who thinks he’s clever, suave and charming (usually without actually being any of those things), and he’s always pushing around the little guy with a doofy grin on his face.  You get the feeling he’s pushed around a lot of employees at ski resorts.  So when Don Jr. attempts to wax intellectual on basically anything, there is usually a little bit of humor to be found.  Don Jr. isn’t exactly a Rhodes Scholar, and frequently says ludicrously unfounded things based on other equally unfounded things he’s read on the internet.  This week, while at a movie premiere (a movie made by recent Trump pardonee, Dinesh D’Souza) Don Jr. claimed that based on history (history, he added, as only truly informed people such as himself are aware), it’s really the Democrats who are more Nazi like, not his father and his administration!  Now, any reasonable person looking into political similarities between modern day politics and the Nazi regime will be able to find the answer to that question, because as it turns out, while an often contested and argued academic field, it’s not a terribly secretive one.  And if you want to find out exactly what the Nazis stood for, you can find the Program of the German Workers Party, written by Adolf Hitler in 1920, in all it’s glorious text.  I encourage you to take a look at it sometime and see whose views are more closely mirrored by a German despot.

The Hard Fight Against Cyber-Bullying

Cyber Bully1

So, a young woman, Lauren Hogg, called out Melania Trump, suggesting that if she aims to combat cyber bullying, a good place to start would be at home, where Donald Trump, Jr. called her and her family “Crisis Actors”, effectively putting a target on her and her brother’s back.  It’s a tragic outcome, and Don Jr. should be ashamed of himself, even though he obviously isn’t.  And it really, again, brings into stark relief the irony of Melania Trump’s campaign.

Eric Trump Exposes the Deep State

Deep State1

So, Eric Trump, the perpetual genius that he is, decided that the “Deep State” is behind the suggestions of who he should follow on Twitter, because it recommended Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and *gasp* Ellen DeGeneres.  Clearly Ellen is behind this shadow conspiracy government, and they are secretly running everything…except congress, who managed to pass the widely detested Tax Bill.
