the Trumpenführer delivered his acceptance speech to the delegates at the RNC convention. Before that, Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan further cemented the fact that we’re in a full blown Idiocracy. Kid Rock blasted on to the stage, and proceeded to jump about like someone who woke up one morning and decided he was a black rapper. It was odd, but the crowd loved it. Hulk Hogan ripped his t-shirt off to reveal a MAGA t-shirt beneath it. It was straight out of WW2 wrestling, and the crowd loved it. When it was time for Trump to come on stage the lights all flashed blindingly to reveal a gigantic sign in lights, spelling out Trump. It was as if Elvis had come back from the dead. Trump, himself had come back from the dead, and he told the assembled masses, “I shouldn’t be here”. “Yes you should!”, they all chanted in unison, and then Trump told the story of the assassination attempt.
Beef Supreme…uh, I mean Hulk Hogan
After that Trump talked about the other victims that day, and particularly Corey Comperatore who was killed when one of the bullets destined fro Trump, struck him instead as he was shielding his family. Corey’s firefighter’s uniform was brought onto the stage and Trump walked over and kissed the helmet. It was moving moment, and then Trump began a very long speech. Any doubt that the shooting had taken the wind out of GEOTUS’ sails was diminished as he continued to speak beyond the midnight hour. It was wearing me out, to be honest. A lot of the attendees were up probably way past their bedtime. The assassination attempt seems to have energized Trump, not slowed him down.
Kid Rock – at least he didn’t grab his crotch, although he totally wanted to.
This morning we’ve been finding out how some of our brilliant academics and professors have been dealing with the events of July 13. One of the new hires at the University of Virginia College of Arts & Sciences in the fall of 2023 was Sethunya Mokoko, a native of the southern Africa country of Lesotho, and professor of rhetoric and communications in the English Department. This fool has since deleted the Tweet but this is what remains of it, “trump & secrete service staged theatrics to win idiots’ vote” A quick reminder that this individual is a professor of rhetoric and communications in the English Department, and has no idea how to spell or form a coherent sentence.
Sethunya Mokoko – knows all about idiots – is one.
It’s not the only example of “professorial” stupidity and ignorance though. A professor at Carnegie Mellon University took to social media after the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump and suggested that the shooting was “staged,” suggesting that the shooter was part of a “stupid show.” Uju Anya, an associate professor of second language acquisition at Carnegie Mellon University, made the comments just hours after the attempted assassination. It went on…”“Politicians kill all the time and kill many more people to steal power,” it added. “And people died behind this farce. Actual people’s lives gone for them to stage this stupid show.”
Uju Anya. American parents are paying thousands of dollars a year to provide employment for the some of the stupidest creatures alive.
As the pages of the history books turn, we might look back on this week to the notion that there were two assassination attempts, one on Donald Trump and the other on his political rival, Joe Biden. Joe walked into it a short while ago when his miserable debate performance all but sealed his fate. The knives are out in force now. It’s just a waiting game until the other shoe drops. Joe is isolating with covid. One hopes for his sake that it doesn’t turn out to be terminal.
Happy Friday
Lee Greenwood sang this at the convention just before Trump took the stage. Tear to a glass eye.
