My response to a Trump tweet

I slapped together this little diorama in response to a stupid STUPID tweet that actual American president one Donald J Trump made some time ago (yes I know, one of sooooooooooo many).  For context, here's the tweet I'm talking about:

DUMB!

Although I do agree with Trump's point about the news.  Way too much of it is a parade of pseudo activists telling us they're journalists and reading their purposefully skewed interpretation of the news through the filter of a most undemocratic ideology.  It's like this with news organizations in America and all over the world.  Ideally, the news should just be objective facts such as:

This just in: Trump did a thing

Then that can be followed by a separate opinion piece given in such a way that it is obvious to even a 4 year old that this is a separate opinion piece.

"In my opinion, that thing Trump did was stupid"

That's how the news media should be.  Really, we shouldn't even know a news anchor's political point of view.  That sort of thing should remain a cryptic mystery that we never need to solve.
Of course, the biggest problem with Trump's lashing out at the news media is that he only seems to pick on CNN when they do it.  Yes, CNN is disgusting in it's deliberate partisan spin.  However, so are all the other news outlets.  Fox and InfoWars put their own ideological spin on news events as well, but Trump thinks those news orgs are 'just fine'.  That shows right there that Trump is not at all concerned about news being accurate or factual.  Some who have worked with him have said that he demands loyalty from everyone he encounters, and this behaviour of his certainly proves that.

But that's not the most egregious part of Trump's tweet. It's the stuff he said about Saturday Night Live that I want to talk about here. As you can see in the graphic of his tweet above, I already gave a bit of a response to him.  Now I'd like to elaborate on that point some more in this blog post.

The show Saturday Night Live, as many fans of the show can tell you, has always been about political satire and it's most frequent target has always been the US president.  The most notable examples are:

Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford

Dana Carvey as George Bush Sr

Will Ferrell as George Bush Jr

And Jay Pharaoh as Barack Obama. I'm not sure how much press Jay got from playing Obama exactly.  I just think he did a very excellent job with his portrayal so I added him here.

The 1st Amendment of the US Constitution gives Saturday Night Live more than enough leeway to portray a sitting president, or any public figure, any way they want.  They have no obligation to be accurate or even fair.  They only have to be funny and thereby entertain an audience.  Everyone knows they not a credible source of information.  Is there a samurai warrior running various businesses in New York?  Did alien Coneheads really land on Earth in order to observe our lifestyles?  Did a cable access show hosted by a teenager named Wayne Campbell actually manage to get the band Aerosmith to show up and perform in his parent's basement?  Did Patrick Swayze really learn all of his Chippendale dance moves from Chris Farley?  Of course, it doesn't matter if any of those things can be true or not because it's just fun to watch them be acted out by skilled performers.
The guy in charge, Lorne Michaels, as well as anyone who may take over his position in the future, can run the show any way they want as long as they have good ratings and thus continue to be an asset for NBC. That being said, I certainly hope that NBC executives have absolute zero control over how the show is run.  The writers and cast really should have at least 95% control of the show's content.  If I don't want some anonymous jag off in a suit at NBC to have sway on what SNL can do then I certainly don't want the high office of the president dictating their contents either.
So, I say this to Mr. Trump. If you don't care for what SNL is doing now be it their portrayal of you or any other news related sketches they've done, just simply don't watch the show.  They have every right to do what they're doing and are under no obligation to regard your feelings at all.  Back off from them and get back to work.

I know it's unprofessional to explain jokes I've made, but sadly I'm thinking I might have to do that right now.  Any big fan of Saturday Night Live probably knows already what particular sketch I'm referring to with that "Trump Maquette" up at the top.  However, for those of you unfamiliar, such as an millennial or Gen Z person who's young enough to think that Bobby Moynihan is part of the original cast, I'll just spill it here.  That thing I made is a reference to Mr. Bill

Mr. Bill was a little plasticine figure that would always get tortured by his "friend" Mr. Hands.  It was and is hilarious.  So, for the benefit of everyone, I've embedded an episode of Mr Bill below.  Enjoy.  And, Mr. Trump, try to gain some perspective, OK.

How White People Can Fight For Delicious Equality

I found a highly informative Twitter thread that could help us all strive towards that very goal of making the world one big ball of unity.  Out of the goodness in my heart, I felt the need to share this with all of you. Read below.

2. Spread both peanutbutter 7 jelly with a butterknife. Failing that, a steak knife will do. DO NOT use a spork. That is a micro aggression.

4. If you use white bread for your sandwich, you owe the nearest black person at least $50 in reparations (at most, infinity dollars).

— David Germain (@d_m_g_daffy) October 24, 2017

6. If you feed your sandwich to the neighbour's cat, you have to kill yourself. Don't try to make it painless. Walk in front of a fast bus.

8. Cutting the crusts away is like cutting brown people out of your life. Have a POC cut the crusts to make it less racist.

— David Germain (@d_m_g_daffy) October 24, 2017

10. If a WOC is offended by you using raspberry jam and tells you to stop, listen and believe. If the jam is already on the bread, chuck it.

12. If a POC makes a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for you and you find worms in it, eat it. You deserve it because of slavery.

— David Germain (@d_m_g_daffy) October 24, 2017

14. Do NOT dress as a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for halloween! It is 'gastronomical appropriation' and kind of sexist in a way too.

— David Germain (@d_m_g_daffy) October 24, 2017

16. NO!

NO!

JUST.......... NO!

NO PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY SANDWICHES FOR @realDonaldTrump !!!

NEVER EVER!

NO! pic.twitter.com/N7PgEZ9ME2

— David Germain (@d_m_g_daffy) October 24, 2017

18. In fact, POC can knock the sandwich out of white people's hands and step on them. If any whites complain, they are racist.

My SJW video now in easily digestible increments

It has come to my attention that people are having some troubles watching my recently made video.  Besides the copyright strikes that I mentioned earlier making it unavailable to anyone on Youtube, people are also uncomfortable with the video's length of 1 hour and 22 minutes.  Hey, the movie All Dogs Go To Heaven was about that long and I don't recall too many people complaining (except for some movie critics, some parents that had to take their kids to it, some online personalities pointing out its flaws, and from artists who actually worked on the movie).
But yes I can understand the disgruntlement.  It's much easier and more delightful to watch animated dogs have a grand adventure for approximately 82 minutes than it is to watch me prattle on about my opinions in a cold basement for that same amount of time.  So here's what I've done.  I've divided my video up into its 14 individual segments and embedded them below.  That way you can watch one or two or three (or however many you can muster) at a time.  Then if you're ever tired, you can go rest for a bit and then start again where you left off.  Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

"Why did I even make this video so long in the first place?", you ask.  I just had  a lot to say.

Also, as an FYI, this{these} video{s} was meant to promote both of my books, as it is with pretty much everything on my blog since about 2010.  So, here's yet another link to those books on Amazon: Jesus Needs Help and Censor Monkeys Have No Class.

Now on to the video(s).  Enjoy!  If you've seen it/them already, feel free to enjoy again.

Steve Bannon is NOT a nazi.....

The notion of Steve Bannon being the second coming of Goebbels and thus spinning America and then the world into some nazi-like dystopia is at best a paranoid hypothesis presented by irrational children.  However, I do agree that Mr. Bannon is a problem and it would be best if he were not in the powerful position that he is in at this time.  I will use this blog post to explain that.

Steve Bannon's ultimate goal can be seen in a movie he created called Torchbearer.  I have embedded the trailer for it below:



I think this trailer might have started the rumour of Steve's affiliation with nazis.  He used a lot of old stock footage of Hitler and third reich marches in it.  So, if one was to just quickly glance at it, they could easily jump to the conclusion that "OMG Steve Bannon supports nazis! Run for your bomb shelters everyone!!!"  But you have to actually pay attention to the full trailer (and possibly even the full movie) to really see the agenda Bannon wants to push.  His opinion is that all the strife in today's world is caused by atheists turning their backs on God thus angering him and setting the apocalypse in motion.  The old nazi footage was simply used to conflate atheism with nazi activities.

That would explain why fellow Breitbart employee Milo Yiannopoulos gave a speech saying that "Catholics were right about everything.



It also explains why he's wants Trump to reunite 'church' with 'state'.  Everyone's afraid of this administration making the world return to the 1950's when they should be more concerned with a return to the 950's.  That church and state reunion is a huge mistake for several reasons.

1. That kind of thinking is what made the Medieval or Dark Ages so dark.  By incorporating the most dominant religion (that being catholicism at the time) with the government many innocent people were slaughtered for not showing allegiance to that religion and intellectual enlightenment was pretty much forbidden.  Galileo famously was put to death under this system for the crime of scientific discovery.  Thankfully, historical figures like Martin Luther and Leonardo Da Vinci lead a Renaissance and helped free the world of this suppressive way of life.

2. The founding fathers of the United States made sure to keep church and state separate for a very good reason.  The reason the US came to be in the first place was because the Quakers were being religiously persecuted in England.  They set sail for a better life and found a whole new continent full of indigenous and non-judgemental people with which they could live in harmony. (Of course many settlers that came afterwards would disrupt this harmony but that's a whole other blog post).  The clause about 'Freedom of Religion' means that every citizen is free to practice whatever religion they so choose and be free from persecution for it.  That separation of church and state is there to insure that no one religion dominates enough to impose itself on any other religion in the country, and that includes atheism.  Really, if church and state are reunited, there's potential for Muslims to dominate and thus impose sharia law which is what Donald Trump is trying to prevent and what the Muslim version of Sarah Palin, one Linda Sarsour, is fighting to implement.

So really, the worst or most problematic thing you can say about Steve Bannon is that he's the Preacher Monkey among my Censor Monkeys.

His desire to return to 'traditional values' could make him the Victorian Monkey as well.

Also, yes I know at the very top I said that Steve Bannon is not a nazi.  However, by rising to the position of Trump's advisor, he is obviously trying to infiltrate the US government to put his opinions into practice thus making him very much the Nazi Monkey.

But I will end this post by also saying that Breitbart "News" is not a 'nazi recruiting website' nor is it a news site.  It's simply an opinion site meant to amuse and/or horrify some for the amusement of others.  They're just on the opposite end of the same propagandist horseshoe that Buzzfeed is on.

No need to panic, folks.  All we have to do is remind Steve Bannon (an the Antifa while we're at it) about the constitution, keep him in check and then sit back to enjoy the ride.

My video about the SJW topic

This is the video that has occupied my time for the passed several months.  Of course, if I didn't have a full time job and I didn't take a trip to the Philippines to get married last December, I would've finished this 2 or 3 months ago.  So, because it took longer than I anticipated, in the video above I talk about Donald Trump's presidency as a "possible future" rather than a very real present.  However, I do think the rest of it still holds up.  Let me know either way in the comment section below.

Oh, if there are any toes I haven't stepped on with the blistering satire all throughout my video, let me know and I'll try to get around to stepping on them next time.

Enjoy!

On this day.....

....the day of Donald Trump officially being sworn in as America's 45th president, I use one of my media outlets (this blog) to present to the world.............

.....the zombie version of Frank Zappa.  "Is there a connection?" you the hypothetical blog post reader is asking yourself.  What similarities could a zombified Frank Zappa and a very much alive Donald Trump have?  There's not a huge connection, but there are a few degrees of separation which I hope to reveal soon.  I'm shooting for before the end of this month.

But in the mean time, enjoy one of Frank's many great songs.  This one is appropriately titled Zombie Woof.

Donald Trump is a.................

M-M-M-M-MONKEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Monkey monkey monkey monkey monkey!!!!!

Wait!  I forget.  Did mention that Donald Trump is a monkey?

Whatever!  Enjoy some Monkey Business from the Marx Brothers below while you're here.
