Another Dad’s Day with good wishes usually passed from children to dads in glad tidings. However, if you’re an asshole who doesn’t understand families and children and the word, ‘happy,’ there’s trouble.
This morning, in seemingly notable context, it seems if the T-Rump is actually working to become even worse a human being:
What a disgusting message. Can't even wish people a happy Father's Day without insulting people. Please find better role models than this classless tool, people.

A close-up view of T-Rump as dad-with-children guy came last week via his former attorney and “fixer,” Michael Cohen, on the kids taking the fall for T-Rump crimes;
In an interview with The Lincoln Project, Cohen recalled Trump saying that if it comes down to Don Jr. or Ivanka going to prison that it should be Don Jr.
“Donald says to me, ‘If one of the two has to end up going, let it be Don: He can handle it,’” Cohen recalled Trump saying.
A cold-hearted daddy, and this moring, the sessage just to be clear: ‘“Happy Father’s Day to all, including the Radical Left, RINOs, and other Losers of the world. Hopefully, eventually, everyone will come together!”‘
There’s not even a way-small portion of a tiny-ounce of empathy and care at all present/felt/seen in those words.
In reflex, compare Joe Biden’s released statement from just a little while ago:
Happy Father's Day to the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, and father figures who enrich our character, love us unconditionally, and give so much of themselves every day so we can live lives worthy of their dreams and sacrifices.

Beyond this holiday, Joe’s a feelings-kind-of guy, especially with his own dad: ‘On the 2020 presidential campaign trail, Biden remembered his late father’s belief that “there’s no higher calling for a woman or a man than to be a good mother or a good father.”‘
What else is needed?
So, working from a ‘feelings-of-sympathy’ type level, a new T-Rump book, “Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost” (due out in August), by Michael C. Bender, who covers the White House for The Wall Street Journal, revealed through the George Floyd days in 2020, (really, no surprise) there’s a way-absence of human-to-human emotion in the dealings of the orange-tinted turd.
An adapted piece from the book was published Friday at Politico — some particularly-pertinent snips:
It took another day for Trump to watch the devastating video of Floyd’s murder aboard Air Force One, where he was returning to Washington from Florida.
Trump sat in the president’s suite near the front of the plane.
As Trump pressed “play” on the video, he was surrounded by Kushner, social media director and deputy White House chief of staff Dan Scavino, National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien and his media team.
Trump contorted his face as he watched. He looked repulsed, then turned away.
He handed the phone back to his aides without finishing.“This is f—— terrible,” he exclaimed.
…
“I know these f—— cops,” Trump said, recalling stories he’d heard growing up in Queens about savage police tactics. “They can get out of control sometimes. They can be rough.”Trump’s assessment struck some in the room as surprisingly critical of police, and the president showed a level of empathy for Floyd behind closed doors that he would never fully reveal in public. Had he tried, it might have helped dial down the tension.
But Trump didn’t see it as part of his job to show empathy, and he worried that such a display would signal weakness to his base.
Once again, if you want, go read the whole Politico article — the book covers the last year of T-Rump’s presidency from the first impeachment trial to the second one — interesting, but depressing as shit knowing he fucked-up so much shit, actually leading to the death of thousands of innocent people, and further-cemented the racial/’losers’ discord-wedge currently boiling the country.
Deeply-dispiriting it is that the asshole still has a vile-encouraging voice to millions of morons. And it’s one fucking horrible-like depression, too.
By now, what the fuck do you expect?
“Up yours…”

It consisted of at least 12 identical black-and-white pictures of Donald Trump. There was also a sign above the pictures that read, “Draw on Me.” Using markers from the art classroom, some students opted to scribble critical messages and profanities on the pictures‘ — and found here).
