There is something about Elmer Fudd Donald Trump Jr. that makes me want to strangle my pretend Elmer Fudd Donald Trump Jr. surrogate doll every time I hear him speak or see that photo of his smug, self-satisfied face as he waves a severed elephant's tail victoriously over his head like a giddy ISIS terrorist waving his flag of choice.
Being that the elephant is the symbol of the GOPhuck Yourself Party this gives that particular image huge meaning to me. What Elmer Fudd Donald Trump Jr did to that innocent animal is exactly what is father is doing to the elephant of the Republican Party. And trust me, late at night, Don Sr. is waving his elephant's tail over his head too. Only his was probably ripped off the business end of a plush toy.
To this Godfather fanatic, Elmer is Michael to his dad's Don Corleone Trump---that is if Don Corleone Trump was more like Fredo.
I mean that is what we are experiencing every single day: Fredo of Speech.
The PR on Elmer is that having lost his dad at an early age (thanks to dad's public affair with Marla Maples) and because Elmer needed a male role model (congratulations on that, President Golf Weekend) he was shuttled off to Prague where his grandfather, trained him to be an outdoorsy kind of guy where he learned to Fendi for himself. In no time flat, murdering animals became the equivalent of T-ball for him and man did he come out swinging. He was a natural. A buffalo chip off the old block.
Today Elmer whose shiny Crisco slathered head can no doubt be seen from any errant Russian Spy Satellite (they like to look after their own) is all about guns, guns and more guns. He's a skilled outdoorsman who owns dozens of weapons including a Benelli Super Black Eagle for duck obliteratin' and an AR-platform semi automatic rifle for target exploding competitions.
Despite having been raised in Trump Tower by Trumps, he claims to be nothing like his father, the Don of the clan, and yet according to his actions, he prefers his meat to be as white as humanly possible. He has been interviewed by self-avowed supremacists, during the election he threatened that the media would be "warming up the gas chambers" for any Republican who behaved like Hilary Clinton and earned an estimated $50,000 for delivering a speech at an event that, according to the New York Times, was hosted by the Center of Political and Foreign Affairs, a French think tank whose organizers have promoted Russian interests in Syria and other places. He also famously compared Syrian refugees to a bowl of Skittles sprinkled with a "few that could kill you," (*his mom was an immmigrant) and he also claimed that a woman who made a Nazi salute at one of daddy's rallies was a Bernie Sanders supporter (even though Mr. Sanders is Jewish). The Times has also reported that he was reposted false reports on Twitter and passed along memes favored by white nationalists.
Evidently, since he has symbolically taken over the family biz, he has virtually no contact with his dad which, I guess, is just like it was growing up. But that doesn't mean the two don't talk shop behind closed bathroom doors. I'm guessing that since Don Sr named his son Don Jr just so he wouldn't forget his name, they chat about nothing but business. Given that Don Sr is a pathological liar why should we believe anything else?
Then again, we could ask President Obama what he has overheard via his "wire tapping." He could expose everything. Or maybe he was just tapin' for his own amusement so he and Michelle can listen to them late at night like the great comedy albums of the early sixties. Today one could be called The We Come First Family.
Personally I think we should demand to see all the Trumps' earth certificates because clearly they are not of this planet. They are America at its absolute worst. They pander to all the clueless, uninformed idiots and religious fairy tale infused zealots who are dazzled by their "power" and "glamor." Basically our country is now being run by the Kardashians which is particularly apt as that name sounds even more Russian than Trump.
We who know better, who respect and read Op-Ed page of The New York Times, The Washington Post and listen to Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Bill Mayer, Trevor Noah, Samantha Bee and Stephen Colbert KNOW better because we know what the truth looks and feels like. We also know what lies smell like. We get why Rexxon Tiillerson won't talk to Andrea Mitchell. Men may talk tough, but behind closed doors they are scared to death of the all knowing mommy.
Tomorrow begins day one of the investigation into what Russia...and Comrades Bannon and Trumpski did to our election and God knows what else. FBI legend James Comey is front and center and unless Trump shows up with Comey's Godfather Two brother flown in from Italy, we should expect a dazzling show of either disclosure or carefully rehearsed diversion. In any case, he is finally on the hot seat and I could not be more pleased.
Let the games begin.
Even if Russia tries to boycott these too.
