At the MAGA Circus, Even Some of the Crazies Can Prove to Be Crazier Than Others
West Virginia governor Jim Justice threatens another insurrection if Trump doesn't win in November.
“I want to talk to you tonight about my relationship with President Trump,” Justice said. “I want to talk to you tonight about an incredible man. I want to tell you the truth about him and his family. He’s tough. He’s super smart. He’s a business guy. But maybe there’s something that you’ve missed, and that is he genuinely cares. He cares about all of us. Every last one of us. And he loves this nation beyond good sense (Justice at RNC).”
Stop giggling.
Even as a kid, I was never too into circuses. I just wasn’t into the whole affair of sad-looking people leaping through the air, hurling their bodies through rings of fire, hoping that they didn’t have a bad landing, which could otherwise result in a cracked head or worse. Nonetheless, one moment always surprised me and left me shaking my head.
Little shocked me at the TNC (Trump National Convention) this past week. As cameras panned the crowd and journalists dared to go down into the scrum of cultists, viewers were regaled with all kinds of crazy shit — almost like it was a real rugby scrum (if you ever played rugby, you know that when the players are scrumming, all kinds of nastiness is taking place unseen to the spectators). Had it not been for those journalists, we would have missed the arguments between freaks. We would have missed the ridiculous costumes the cultists wore to express their Goebbels-like adoration for Trump (Hitler’s propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, along with his wife, poisoned their five sleeping children before killing themselves as the end of Hitler’s life neared). More than one of the cultists was seen wearing bandages on their ears, paying homage to Trump.
Matt Gaetz and Kevin McCarthy got into it on the floor, and another burly cultist called Gaetz an asshole and got into his face. It was all so lovely. As the cameras pulled in for close-up from afar so we couldn’t hear what was being said, face after face of recently paroled Americans, former officials in the Trump administration, passed by like it was a perp walk. No gathering of Americans who had formerly held such esteemed positions in our government contained so many ex-cons! From up high, perched like a stork in his nest, was the orange wizard responsible for the fascist lunacy unfolding before the eyes of the world.
All of the insincere madness, however, would be second-rate compared to the Trump speech, but Trump in his speech pretty much proved that he is still just an insane, elderly man whose only concern is to make the Americans pay for rejecting him in 2020. He added nothing new but did praise Viktor Orban and North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-il. The faux religiosity was sickening, and the gathered Christians proved just how little of an understanding they have for the words of Christ.
That’s it. Otherwise, it was an uneventful gathering of anti-America fascists. Until that is, West Virginia Governor Jim Justice said the following:
In his speech Monday, Justice called Trump a “really personal friend” and said he wanted to see an end to divisive political rhetoric. He said violence and hate, in his opinion, has “just amped up all over the place” under President Joe Biden’s term in the executive office. “From the standpoint of our politicians, we’ve got to amp down the rhetoric,” he said (Justice at RNC).
Jim Justice blamed Joe Biden — yes, you are reading this correctly — for the violence and rhetoric of the recent past. Justice then concluded his speech with words Jesus Christ would have been happy to hear.
“The bottom line for why we’re here, the bottom line to every single thing going on in this great country today, is one thing,” Justice said on Tuesday night. “We become totally unhinged if Donald Trump is not elected in November (We Become Totally Unhinged).”
I will let you decide what he meant by that.
By the way, when I tried to find this comment on reliably conservative news sources, like the West Virginia Watch, there was no mention of Justice’s “unhinged” comment. It is incredible how they whitewash the truth for the cult.
