tRump has spent a goodly part of the last four years toddling about the country, telling anyone who would listen that he’s a great counter-puncher from the Roy Cohn School of Baseless Accusations*. Truth is, he’s not a puncher at all. He spits and he fumes. He whines. And, most of all, he flails. I’ve yet to see him actually land a damaging punch. Sure, it’s noisy and distracting. But, it doesn’t do much damage outside of reinforcing the lunacy of his base.
The only people who think he’s doing well by being a combative ass are the same folks who root for the bad guys while they binge watch the WWE. A lot of the feeble punches tRump has tried to throw at Joe Biden are hitting tRump right in his own chops. If it wasn’t for the orange pancake, he’d be a portrait in self-inflicted black and blue. All by his lonesome, he’s scored more own goals this year than all the players in all the World Cup games have managed in the entire history of the tournament.
Whenever he punches down, he catches hell for picking on the little guy. Whenever he punches at politicians or comedians he gets exposed as a buffoon. After he gets schooled a couple of times he learns to leave some people alone (Colbert comes to mind). His comfort zone appears to be punching at women. He thinks he’s doing well, because he doesn’t listen the reactions. It’s a badge of approval to be called a “Nasty woman.”
On the anniversary of the ratification of Woman’s Suffrage, tRump pardoned Susan B. Anthony from her 1873 directed conviction for voter fraud. His announcement was met with raucous laughter. tRump probably thinks Susan will be happy to vote for him in November.
tRump tried to manufacture a Ukraine conspiracy and wrap it around Joe. He was impeached for his efforts.
The Senate report on the Russia Investigation makes it clear the tRump and Barr have been lying to the public, obstructing justice and mocking the Constitution for years. We already knew that,
tRump’s credibility is so tattered, he wouldn’t be believed if he told us he was awake.
Can anyone think of a single thing tRump has said that has staying power?
*He doesn’t actually say the part about Roy Cohn — that’s just implied.

Evening Shade appears every evening at 7:30PM Eastern (unless I get lazy).
Cut and Paste Department. This is the regularly scheduled plea for readers. I’ve still only had to make two memes. You have it within your power to make me work. If you spread the word about Evening Shade and your spreadee announces themselves in the comments, you will become eligible to receive your very, very special noprize of a meme of your very own. All you have to do is jump up and get out there and start carnival barking, cajoling, proselytizing (or pimping, if you are of an irreligious bent). You could even pester and push. Procrastination is not an option — it’s a way of life.

Goodie probably now knows more about Joe than Joe does. And, she’s willing to share all the knowledge with the rest of us: Biden has a childcare plan to help children and parents: Day 41 of 100 Days of loving Joe Biden
