So, we now know what America looks like when Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity are calling the shits. I mean shots. And for real, this time, not like when Bush was in office, and they just acted like they were in charge.
Hannity has had Trump’s ear for a while now, but it wasn’t until the screams and screeds from this particular right wing brain trust, which ultimately pushed Trump into this disastrous shut down, did I realize how fully in control over President “Stable Genius” these three had actually become.
When Rush bragged a few weeks ago about “receiving reassurance” from Trump, I still didn’t really believe it. After all, Rush has always promoted himself as bigger than Jesus, so I kind of shrugged it off. But turns out — it was probably true. Not the bigger than Jesus part, just the Trump reassuring Rush part.
Now, Queen Ann has screeched her complaint against Trump’s weakly flailing attempt to make a deal today, calling him a “Jeb.” Ha! Wait...I’m not sure how that’s an insult…maybe the hair? I dunno.
Ann, Rush, and Sean — the ARS Entity (or ARSE, for short, tee hee!) — have operated Trump like master puppeteers during this debacle. And we can see what has ensued from their manipulations — chaos, pain, misery, fear, uncertainty, division — you know, all the stuff that makes the GOP great!
But perhaps the most telling result has been exposure — they have exposed just how weak Trump truly is, how awful he is as a leader, as a deal maker, as a human being. And ARSE has shown us just how bankrupt and cowardly the current GOP leadership has become since the so-called “Republican Revolution” of the 90’s.
It would be laughable, if it were not so damaging...
