“The experience of democracy is like the experience of life itself-always changing, infinite in its variety, sometimes turbulent and all the more valuable for having been tested by adversity.”

–Jimmy Carter

  1. So Trumpy goes down to Georgia in the midst of a disaster, makes everything about himself of course, and claims Governor Kemp is having a hard time getting ahold of President Biden, then the same day Governor Kemp announces that Biden called him and asked him what he needed. Biden then called Trumpy a flat out liar. Out of the thousand of lies Trumpy has told, this one is just so clearly demonstrable. I wish more people would see this for what it is.

    1. He also made the claim Franklin Graham's Samaritan Purse shipments of food and water were from his campaign. He later had to recant.  Is there anything more repulsive than watching the Orange Turd stand there telling lies as fast as they'll fall out of his mouth — with Franklin standing behind him? 

      1. He also claimed he was working with Musk to get Starlink hooked up. FEMA already had Starlink up and running before his comment. Using the hurricane for looks and attention, and to dispel lies. He's such a shameless asshole.

  2. "So Trumpy goes down to Georgia…"  Was he lookin' for an election to steal? Sorry, Meltdown. I saw your comment and heard that song start playing in my head. 

    1. Blast from the past – I posted this doggerel during the 2020 election (the Georgia Senate runoff elections). Would not take much to tweak it to bring it up to date…

      The Donald went down to Georgia, he was lookin' for a vote to steal
      He was in a bind, 'cause he was way behind, he was willin' to make a deal
      When he came across a woman signing up voters, succeeding more often than not
      And the Donald jumped up on a hickory stump, said "girl let me tell what
      "I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a vote collector too
      "And if you care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
      "Now you run a pretty good ground game, but give the Donald his due
      "I'll bet you power untold against your soul 
              'cause I think I'm better than you."

      Said the woman, "My name's Stacey, and it might be a sin
      "But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret,
              'cause I'm the best that's ever been."

      Bridge:
          Stacey just ignore the polls, and canvass doors real hard
          'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Donald deals the cards
          And if you win, people are proved more powerful than gold
          But if you lose, the Donald gets your soul

      The Donald opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show."
      And fire flew from his fingertips as he purged votes from the rolls
      And he pulled a Sharpie across some laws, and it made an evil hiss
      Then Billy Barr and Pence joined in, and it sounded something like this

      [Evil music]

      When the Donald finished, Stacey said, "Well you're pretty good old son
      "But sit down in that chair right there, and let me show you how it's done."

      Chorus:
          The Republic's on fire, run, Joe, run
          The Donald's in the White House and so is his son
          McConnell in the Senate needing two more
          Warnock and Ossoff, lets show 'em the door

      [Virtuoso solo music]

      The Donald bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
      But the Prince of Lies refused to voluntarily leave his seat
      Stacey said, "Donald it don't matter if you want to go or not
      "'Cause I done told you once, you son of a bitch, 
              It's time for *our* team to take that spot!"

      [Chorus]

      [Play-off virtuoso solo music]

      1. Bravo, Gorky!

        If you do update it, I'd suggest including something along the lines of :

        The Donald acknowledges that he can't win, because the American people don't like or trust him. So….he has to get better at cheating, to keep his large ass out of the pokey. I mean, he did brag that placing his people on Georgia's election board would help him take the state.
