I honestly believe that this week will mark the downfall \u2013 and removal \u2013 of Twitler from office.\u00a0 The utter ugliness of the \u201cUnite the Right\u201d<\/em><\/strong> rallies this past \u00a0Friday night and Saturday ending\u00a0in tragedy when a homegrown domestic terrorist murdered Heather Heyer<\/strong>, an innocent\u00a0protestor, is something we\u2019ve all witnessed.<\/p>\n

Twitler\u2019s<\/em><\/strong> abysmal response to it leads me to believe this is the beginning of his end-days.\u00a0 But there are so many tangents involving this horrific week I decided that it\u2019s too difficult to find a single, unifying thread for a relatively short post \u2013 so I\u2019ve chosen to do a potpourri approach to capture some of the highlights (there were some), lowlights (there were many) and even a few that hopefully will make you smile if not chuckle out loud.<\/p>\n

As we know, the ostensible \u201creason\u201d the white supremacists, KKK and neo-Nazis united to put on their rallies was the removal of a statue honoring Robert E. Lee<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 And yesterday Twitler announced he is foursquare against \u201cthe removal of our beautiful statues and monuments\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

This I find very odd because all those Confederate statues and monuments celebrate LOSERS<\/em><\/strong>!\u00a0 I thought Twitler did not like LOSERS<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

But I did enjoy the inventive approach of someone in Phoenix decorating a Confederate monument there (Phoenix?\u00a0 That surprised me, too)<\/em> with a \u201c2nd<\/sup> Place \u2013 Participant\u201d<\/em><\/strong> banner, adding \u201cYou Lost \u2013 Get Over It\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all seen the photos and films of the Friday night Tiki torch rally \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now I will admit they\u2019ve gotten rid of the sheets and updated their uniforms, but \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think we all knew that Twitler\u2019s reading of a ghostwriter’s measured remarks from a Teleprompter on Monday in response to the domestic terrorism could not last.\u00a0 And sure enough, by Tuesday he was again revealing his true white supremacist self with that \u201cBoth Sides Do It\u201d<\/em><\/strong> crap while claiming that some of the Nazis are \u201cvery fine people\u201d<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s take a closer look at what I thought we all believed were the \u201cGood Guys\u201d<\/em><\/strong> \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yep \u2013 turns out we WERE<\/em> right<\/span> … change that to CORRECT<\/u><\/strong>. \u00a0And again, the \u201cGood Guys\u201d had some inventive responses<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And yet Trump still<\/u><\/em> doesn\u2019t seem to understand he\u2019s backing LOSERS<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So to help him out I think it behooves us to provide him with a very, VERY<\/u><\/em> simple algorithm flowchart that even he should be able to understand<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the bright side, it seems the media folks have finally realized they should have never engaged in all their false equivalency trying to normalize the evil that is Trump-incarnate during his campaign against Hillary \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hopefully they \u2013 and at least some republicans \u2013 will read the tea leaves and recognize their failings \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And rid our country of this pestilence \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So reasonable voices, like those at the University of Virginia candlelight vigil honoring Heather Heyer<\/strong>, \u00a0may rise again \u2026<\/p>\n
