Bright sunshine and a few rolling clouds along California’s north coast this Friday morning, as we launch into a few days of really gorgeous weather — clear skies, warm temperatures through the weekend.

However, not so pretty for the GOP.
Front-door serious-funny — President Obama last night on TV burning the The Donald: ‘“Orange Is Not the New Black.”‘
Backdoor serious-serious funny — Mitch McConnell, yesterday on a kind of TV, reality spoke on The Donald: ‘“He needs someone highly experienced and very knowledgeable because it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t know a lot about the issues.”‘

(Illustration: Donald Trump, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit Leong, found here).

Ironic beyond understanding — McConnell, one of the worse cretins in politics, discussing by-far the worse cretin to ‘ever‘ appear on the public stage in my lifetime, and still waffling on saying, indeed, ‘orange is not the new black,‘ an asshole to the end.

The Donald had never really appeared on my radar in any serious manner until he started winning those early primaries last year — up til that point, he was just an ‘obvious‘ obnoxious guy on the way-elite fringe, babbling about birth certificates, or other such nonsense, on reality TV, a jerk, freaky/creepy self-bloated, weird-looking sonofabitch, and prancing around with various high-cheeked women.
And once I started paying attention, the fucker far-worse than imagined — this country is way-way-fucked if The Donald wins in November. I hope he self-destructs, drowning in his own bile.

The next best thing started yesterday with Obama’s standing with ‘her‘ — Hillary Clinton — Bernie Sanders’ unification words, and Elizabeth Warren’s endorsement.
Warren the best of the entire lot in Congress, and can surely throw the sting on The Donald.
An excellent look at the ‘squad’ that can shred the GOP is by Goldie Taylor at The Daily Beast yesterday afternoon — keystone notes:

And, to paraphrase Clinton, the Democrats just put a village to work against Donald J. Trump.
Led by a powerful trifecta of elders — Barack, Hillary and Bill — the Democrats have two jobs: Coalesce and energize support among non-white voters and introduce the country to the real Trump on the campaign trail.
…
And just when Trump thinks he has seen enough, Sen. Elizabeth Warren — who is also expected to endorse the former cabinet secretary today — will continue delivering stinging body blows.
Trump may rue the day he ever called her “Pocahontas.”

Hopefully, The Donald will rue the day he got into this shit.
Now maybe I’m a bit more optimistic about November, but who really knows, it’s not over until “shit stain” sings…
