A major mystery of the ages — maybe of all time — is how can anyone even like the T-Rump, much way-less support the piece of shit. I’ve gotten to where I don’t like to write about the orange turd anymore, other than in passing, due to five years of a vicious, malignant onslaught of terrible words, images and ideas emitting from him in all directions, bringing shit down on everything in a wide, wide circumference.
T-Rump is a monster.
However, a certain event on Friday brought into sharp relief just how fucking blind and stupid are people. Beyond my understanding how cruel and idiotic:

Some background via BusinessInsider yesterday:
Former President Donald Trump on Friday gave a short speech during an apparently impromptu appearance at a dog rescue at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach Florida, local news outlet WPTV reported.
The fundraiser was led by Lauree Simmons, the president and founder of Big Dog Ranch Rescue, who told WPTV she held the fundraiser in hopes of raising $500,000 to use a plane to extract dogs from dog meat farms in China.
“[What you’re] doing is so important and so great, and so important and I’m with you 100%, and you had many meetings in the White House and the Oval Office having to do with saving and helping dogs,” Trump said Friday.
…
Lara Trump, the wife of Trump’s son Eric Trump, was listed as a chairwoman for the organization’s charity events beginning in 2018, according to the report.
Simmons in 2019 visited the White House when Trump signed a bill focused on animal cruelty, according to HuffPost.While on stage, Trump referenced the rumors that his daughter-in-law was eyeing a run for Senate.
“I want to thank Lara, who has been so incredible. I don’t know, you’re running for the Senate,” he said in a video recorded Friday and posted to Twitter, wearing his signature “Make America Great Again” red hat. “I hear she’s going to run for the Senate.”
Lara Trump is reportedly considering a run for Senate in North Carolina to replace Richard Burr, a retiring Republican who voted in January to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial, a move that led to his censure by North Carolina GOP.
And this addendum from TPM‘s Josh Marshall from an Independent story on the dog fund-raising event:

However, like all things linked to the T-Rump, there’s a shit stink and it’s not dog dump — from HuffPost Friday evening:
A dog rescue charity with links to Lara Trump has spent as much as $1.9 million at former President Donald Trump’s properties over the last seven years and will drop an additional quarter-million at his Mar-a-Lago country club this weekend.
According to a permit filed with the town of Palm Beach, Florida, Big Dog Ranch Rescue estimates it will spend $225,000 at the club where Donald Trump has taken up full-time residence since leaving the White House.
All the profit from that spending winds up in his pocket.Internal Revenue Service filings show that the group has spent as much as $1,883,160 on fundraising costs at Mar-a-Lago and Trump’s golf course 18 miles north in Jupiter starting in 2014.
Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, started being listed as a chairwoman for charity events in 2018, and the group’s president, Lauren Simmons, visited the White House in 2019 for the signing of a bill addressing animal cruelty.
And this Simmons character:
Simmons, however, was among those propagating Trump’s lies on social media, posting messages to “stop the steal,” a phrase the defeated president’s supporters had adopted.
On Jan. 3, three days before the mob attack, Simmons shared a post stating: “Either we TAKE power back or we will never be free again. No more asking nicely.”
And we wonder:
Me: Nothing could possibly be as scummy as Eric Trump embezzling money meant for kids with cancer.

You can find more Twitter feedback on T-Rump’s dog-swindle ‘look’ at Raw Story today, like ths one:

As an aside from the dogs, but in the same vein, some Alabama blind-as-shit nutcases gave T-Rump a plaque/resolution for being the bestest US president ever — per the UK’s Daily Mail (I know, yuck):
The Alabama Republican Party presented Donald Trump on Saturday evening with a framed resolution declaring him ‘one of the greatest and most effective presidents’ in the history of the U.S.
The proclamation was passed unanimously by the state’s GOP and presented to the former president at his South Florida Mar-a-Lago resort on Saturday.
Perry Hopper Jr., a member of the Alabama GOP executive committee, told Fox News: ‘The resolution, basically, it just talks about the greatness of Donald J. Trump, how he made America great again and I hope other states will follow suit.’
…
‘President Trump accomplished more in 48 months than Joe Biden did in 48 years as a senator and vice-president,’ the document reads after listing accomplishments.Printed on a large legal-sized document and displayed on a blue matte and golden frame, the proclamation gives Trump credit for getting vaccines to Americans in ‘record time.’
‘President Trump’s ‘Operation Warp Speed’ delivered safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines in record time, which was one of the important feats in medical history,’ the third line of the document reads.
…
“He’s just done so many great things,’ Hopper said.
“I was a kid when Reagan was elected and I thought nobody would top the great things Ronald Reagan did but then comes along Donald J Trump and in my opinion, he’s not just one of the great presidents, he is the greatest president we’ve had in America.’“We love him in Alabama, America loves him and he got 75 million votes for a reason and I’m speaking basically for 75 million people in America,” he said.
Barf city. I was born in Alabama, but please, everybody’s got to be from somewhere. One wonders, though, at the mental health of those 75 million pathetic people.
A sick joke not a bit funny…
This is my favorite of the T-Rump mugs, though, ‘favorite‘ does not mean in any form or fashion, as in, ‘my favorite movie,’ or ‘my favorite song.’
It’s more of an anti-appreciation/like.
And aptly titled, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit Leong (and found here), and displays the elemental form of a purloined sociopath — a bloated profile of flatulent bile and arrogant ignorance.
