Cognitive dissonance

Wherein we just throw it at the wall and see what sticks.

Trump says "thousands and thousands" of parents told him during the 2016 campaign that they would like the remains of their sons returned from Korea (although he failed to mention it at the time).  As has been pointed out elsewhere, these good people would all be about a hundred years old now.  The most likely explanation is that he has no earthly idea when the Korean War took place, but since return of remains was the only material concession he got from the vicious dictator who has won his heart, might as well play it up for his fellow ignorami.

The forcible separation of parents and children at the Mexican border continues, with several thousand warehoused in an abandoned Walmart (perhaps the very Walmart that Obama was planning to turn into a FEMA detention center after the conquest of Texas under Jade Helmet -- wake up, sheeple!).   "These people are underprivileged, so it's working out very well for them," chortled Barbara Bush, before she resumed haunting a house in El Paso.  The children get two whole hours of outdoor play every day and are being taught to say "We love Mr. Presidente Trump!"  There is absolutely no chance they will become anti-American terrorists when/if they get older.  Needless to say, this is a policy with biblical endorsement, but it's also the fault of "the Democrats" who control Congress.  Don't try to figure it out.  I did, and all I got was a sound like Guy Lombardo's Royal Canadians emanating from my skull.

Speaking of Canadians, Justin Trudeau wins the brass figlagee with bronze oak-leaf palm for presenting Trump with a handsome framed photo of the whorehouse his grandfather operated in the Yukon.  Which somehow reminds me that, apart from a single silent appearance at a Cabinet meeting, Melanie has again become scarce.  Perhaps she plans to spend the rest of the year sulking in her room, reading Michelle Obama's speeches in search of something else to plagiarize.  When FPOTUS publishes her memoirs, don't be surprised to learn that she grew up on the South Side of Chicago and her brother is a basketball coach.
 
Perhaps I was wrong about Kim failing to lift Trump's phone, too.  ("He was very very friendly, he kept patting me on my ass.  Hey, where's my phone?  CROOKED HILLARY STOLE MY PHONE!")  The most recent royal tweets, while insane, have been correctly spelled, even hard words like "disciples," and lack the random capitalizations of yore.  This suggests that Trump has begun dictating, in the same way Mein Kampf was -- never mind.

Speaking of political prisoners, Paul Manafort is in the jailhouse now, his ten million dollar bail rescinded and his ankle monitor(s) removed, and all because he tried witness-tampering via email.  Not smart.  And we found out that James Comey, who was selling himself and his book as the finest exemplars of morality since Letter From a Birmingham Jail, used private email to conduct FBI business even as he stalked Hillary Clinton.  To paraphrase Barton Keyes (Double Indemnity), "You're no better than Trump.  You're just a little bit taller."

Of the sweet amour in Singapore, enough has probably been written, with the probable nadir Trump saluting a North Korean general.  (How did all those grieving parents feel about that?)   At  the end of the day, though, his heart belongs to Vladdy, and probably his balls, too.  After demanding that Russia be invited back into the G-whatever, he explained that Ukraine is part of Russia because everybody there speaks Russian.  You know, just as people in Sudetenland and Austria spoke German.  Of course, there are millions of Russian-speakers in all the old SSRs, because Russian was the only language taught in schools and used in public life.  But Russia only "went into" Ukraine because "they didn't respect Obama."  Yes, but...oh, there's that Guy Lombardo music again.
