Today Putin launched another aptly named Satan 2 (no doubt better than Satan 1). This led me to wonder if nuclear annihilation might be a merciful end to the insanity, and anxious daily grind of the uncertainty, of a world run by Trump and Putin and a cast of characters Lewis Carroll couldn’t have imagined occurring in real life.
Not only do we have to hope that Melania will not get fed up, decide to save Barron and herself, and finally leave Daddy Donald. Why? Because the optics of this might precipitate a psychotic rage attack in the nuclear master-buttonator who suffers from brainus derangus (not in the DSM-5) ---
but we have also have to deal with headlines to stories like this Roger Stone: Sam Nunberg Is a ‘Lying Asshole’ and ‘Psycho’ -— he also called him a liar and a cokehead!
as we endeavor to ignore the fact that Roseanne Barr, an actress most of us think is irrelevant, seems to be even more clinically paranoid than Trump.
Barr’s politics have also tended toward the fringes. In 2009, Barr (who is Jewish) posed for a photoshoot in the Jewish youth magazine Heeb, in which she dressed as Hitler eating singed, human-shaped “Jew cookies.” The magazine, which labeled Barr “the last celebrity utterly incapable of giving a fuck” later pulled the photo spread.
In 2012, she launched a presidential campaign as a Green Party candidate but lost to Jill Stein in the primary. Since then, Barr’s views have veered right with blatantly Islamophobic tweets. In an August 2016 Twitter rant, she claimed “jew hater hillary clinton’s handler huma weiner is a filthy nazi whore.”
