Dispatches from Barad-dûr

It’s only our bedroom chimney. You go to war with the Barad-dûr you have, not the Barad-dûr you might want or wish to have at a later time.

OK, lemme see if I’ve got this right. …

Pope Naked I, the Unclothed Emperor, Avatar of Peace and Very Stable Genius, elbows into a Middle Eastern pissing contest without checking with Congress, an elite cadre of drunkards, turncoats, lickspittles, ring-kissers, and Keyboard Kommandos at his side.

Next he unilaterally declares a cease-fire — a short while later the belligerents mumble, “Yeah, right, cease-fire, sure. …” — and get right back to murdering each other.

Finally the Warrior Pope finds a convenient camera to holler into, barking that the belligerents “don’t know what the fuck they’re doing,” when it seems pretty clear to even the most casual observer that when it comes to killing each other, these people are at the top of their class.

Does that about cover it? I think I’m all caught up now.

  1. He wants what Obama has, a Nobel Peace Prize. If he can’t earn it, he will COMMAND it from above. Imayahoo doesn’t understand the one way loyalty street.

      1. Indeed… I’m thinking we’re are at 18 days legt to make those 90 trade deals. I think the count stands at maybe 1.

        1. Just spitballing here … but while Numbnuts is slobbering on his Florsheims during the NATO summit at The Hague, can we maybe change the locks on the United States so he can’t get back in?

      2. Now there’s someone who deserved a peace prize. No one ever left a JB concert angry at anyone.

        Makes me think … how do I monetize this?… Good food, good tunes, and a nice bike ride always leave you vibing. The assholes of the world? It’s money in the bank that they are running a deficit in two out of the three.

        I need to go to work on a logo or flag that features a taco, an acoustic guitar, and a steel frame.

          1. Well, we still have Iris DeMent and Bonnie Raitt. Last episode of “Northern Exposure” ended with “Our Town” and “Just Like That” won a Grammy. John Prine and Steve Goodman could have wrote either one them. And, Iris and Bonnie both hung around John. What song do I like of theirs?

  2. So, as he descends into further cognitive decline, how will we know? He started at such a low level…

    1. Political science fiction, for sure. We could’ve snatched pretty much anyone out of the prison, mental institution, or DMV of your choice and gotten a better preznit than this.

  3. In three paragraphs (plus the intro and outro) you have saved me from reading 2.7 TB of web news trying to understand what is going on.

    I tell you, this subscription pays for itself every day!

  4. Just when I think I’m gaining on POG’s colloquial repertoire out comes “lickspittles” and I’m again off the back of the peloton. I should know better. He’s the Master of Enlightenment when it comes to summing up current events, political flounderings, and general reporting of the world as it is.

  5. Waiting for, and hoping against, Orange Hitler donning (pun) the obligatory oligarchical military outfit with the brushes on each shoulder. He will then award himself a made in China not-real-gold fake Nobel Peace Prize and place it around his neck on world-wide live TV. Fake America First and Only Peace Prize replica medals will be sold for personal profit, because…, of course they will.

    1. Comes with a free* Hero of the Fatherland™ TrumpFone®.

      * Some restrictions apply. Free only in your dreams. iHate app included free (not including annual registration/membership fee). Compatible only with TrumpNet™ (additional charges apply). Not available in Blue States.

  6. I’ll bet this blog group could suggest a number of things to hang around the grifter’s neck. Ah ah ah…dont go there….let’s stick to things like anvils, bowling balls, old Schwinn Varsitys and such and a quick dip in the Potomac to cool off his temper. Until the next MAGA creation pops up since there seems to be legions of them at the ready.

  7. Here’s where we are: an evangelical minister who gave upChrist for politics doesn’t praise the President for funding school lunch or improving health insurance or anything Jesus might approve of. The only time he opens his mouth is when he bombs the crap out of someone.

    That should concern us. Or at least concern Christians.
