Editorial Notebook: The surprise is that it took so long for Ubu Roi to take himself for Christ, or God, or the Trinity (if we are to be redundant). It didn’t stay up on his crude sociopath platform, but long enough for laggards like me to catch it once I read of the aberrance of the hour, that one being his insults at Pope Benedict, after taking credit for Benedict’s election: “He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican.” Then he claimed the pope “likes crime,” and is “very liberal,” as if that were an insult. Then he put up the image of himself as god. He claimed he was a doctor. He claimed he was a doctor in the image. He claimed he was a doctor while accepting a McDonald’s food delivery at the Oval Office. “Does he actually think this?” Riley Gaines, the influencer and critic of transgender rights, posted on social media, according to The Times. She added, “God shall not be mocked.” The Times continued: “David Brody, an evangelical journalist with the Christian Broadcasting Network, called on Mr. Trump to take down the image. ‘This goes too far. It crosses the line,’ Mr. Brody wrote on social media. ‘A supporter can back the mission AND reject this simultaneously.'” Really, Mr. Brody, you think this, after 11 years of pussy-grabbing by Ubu Roi, only this is what crossed the line? Not even the war? Not even threatening the destruction of Persian civilization? That’s Mephistopheles-infested maga for you.

Giving helpful advice ahead of peace talks in Alaska, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested on Monday that Donald J. Trump offer Vladimir Putin “full sovereignty” over the state of Florida. “If you are considering some kind of ‘land swap’ for peace, Florida should be on the table,” Zelenskyy …
–From The Borowitz Report.
Jim says
Trump now says that gas prices could go higher between now and the midterms. He also said “if they rise, they rise”. That’s the 4-D chess mentality on display.
Iran has made a mockery of Trump and his “negotiaters”, including JD Vance This is ludicrous. Only the die-hard weak minded amongst us can listen to this garbage and think he’s in control and has a plan. Many, if not most,Americans are now looking at serious cost issues at least through the rest of the year. And prices will climb dramatically as higher fuel costs start hitting groceries and everything else we all need.
What do you call someone who promises one thing but does the opposite? A liar.
And Trump posted an AI picture of him dressed as Christ healing a prone figure yesterday. When criticized by both sides, he removed it saying it showed him as a doctor. Sure. Same guy who sent out that lovely Easter post. Same guy that has taken to criticism of the Pope because he’s had the temerity to speak out against war.
Trump is a soulless, narcissistic little boy who is only interested in what benefits him and doesn’t care about any of the people who voted for him. It’s obvious to anyone that just looks. What he is doing is not “making America great again “, Just the opposite.
Pogo says
Zelenskyy is busy saving the world, and isn’t “American born” — but Leo 2028 has nice ring to it.
Dennis C Rathsam says
WINNING!!!!!! my ass! The only thing IRAN is winning is a path toward extinction!
Pierre Tristam says
What does that mean to you, Dennis, and if that means what you say it means, are you OK with 95 million people being annihilated, 99.99 percent of whom have zero to do with nukes, Hormuz or making you feel like Rambo? Are you that immoral? Or is it redundant to ask such a question to a magazoid?
Laurel says
Yes, he lost me at “…grab ’em by the pussy” and mocking a man with palsey. How in the hell anyone got past that is a study in psychology.
So what will it be now? He’s joking. He’s a real gut buster while leading this country. He’s a doctor for healing the liberals. The left put up the post. The liberals should have respected he took the post down. He’s right, the Pope is woke.
Face it folks, the boy ain’t right, bless his black heart.
BillC says
Properly, it’s Dr. Jesus Christ M.D. Show some respect!
