On a rare* positive note, Barack Obama tweeted out a much more appropriate presidential response to the Charlottesville hate rally. A few people liked it.

Donald Trump's Crisis Algorithm

1. Trump cakes his pants

2. The press points out that he clearly has caked his pants.

3. White House aides go to great lengths to explain that Trump has not, in fact, caked his pants.

4. Trump appears in front of the cameras and says, "I TOTALLY MEANT TO CAKE MY PANTS".

Nice sentiment by BHO. Too bad his actions as prez didn't reflect that.

I saw this somewhere on Twitter this AM.

George Washington - "I cannot tell a lie."

Richard Nixon - "I cannot tell the truth."

Donald Trump - "I cannot tell the difference."

That is old and has been used by both sides for different presidents including Nixon and Clinton. This isn't the longer version I used to have before a hard drive crash, but it gets the point across.

See "The President’s Statue and the Promised Land" http://www.snopes.com/politics/humor/bushbust.asp which as they note is easily changed to be just about any president.

Dear Sir:

We have the distinction of being members of a committee to raise $200,000,000 to be used for placing a statue of Barack H. Obama in the Hall of Fame in Washington, D.C.

The committee was in a quandary about selecting the proper location for the statue. It was thought unwise to place it beside that of George Washington, who never told a lie, or beside that of Bill Clinton, who never told the truth, since Barack H. Obama could never tell the difference.

After careful consideration, we think it should be placed next to the statue of Christopher Columbus, the greatest Democrat of them all, in that he started out not knowing where he was going, and in arriving did not know where he was, and in returning did not know where he had been — and managed to do it all on borrowed money.

The inscription on the statue will read: “I pledge allegiance to Barack H. Obama and to the national debt for which he stands, one man, expendable, with graft and corruption for all.”

Five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, “Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land.” Nearly five thousand years later, Ronald Reagan said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land.” Now Barack H. Obama has stolen the shovels, kicked our asses, raised the price of Camels, and laid waste to the Promised Land.

If you are one of the few who has any money left over after paying towards Obama's huge national debt and Obamacare premiums, we will expect a generous contribution from you toward this noteworthy project.

Yours sincerely,

National Committee on the Obama Bust

P.S. It is said that before her untimely departure, Debbie Wasserman Schultz initiated the process to change the Democrat party emblem from an donkey to a condom because it stands for inflation, protects a bunch of pricks, halts production, and gives a false sense of security while one is getting screwed!

Two things Trump and JJ share are a hatred for Obama and Hillary.
