Democrats in disarray distract from a disastrous Republican convention

If you’re looking for entertainment out of the ordinary during this extremely hot summer brought to you courtesy of global climate change, then look no further than the Republican tent revival in Milwaukee or the ongoing Democratic circus of cannibals surrounding President Biden.

The Republican freak show has gathered in Milwaukee this week to canonize and coronate Donald Trump, fresh off his felony conviction and a recent assassination attempt. While there you can purchase your favorite Trump T-shirt, or for just $29.99 you can purchase one with Trump and buddy Jesus smiling together. For little more than that you can buy a mug, a baseball cap, or perhaps some pajamas for your child. For those who like a live WWE event, Trump appeared with an odd-looking square bandage on his ear at the beginning of week, prompting true believers to weep, faint and praise gawd for Trump being saved by “divine intervention.” That T-shirt just cost five dollars more.

Left unasked, unanswered and unspoken is why would gawd intervene on the behalf of Trump while failing to do so for thousands of innocent children killed by gun violence, or rape victims or Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy or Malcolm X, to name a few? Or, paraphrasing a Holocaust survivor, if gawd exists, he owes someone an apology.

The faithful tell you that you have no right to question gawd’s plan, while apparently they have no idea many aren’t questioning gawd’s plan — just their interpretation of it. Meanwhile, if gawd is in Milwaukee this week, we have a subtle reminder; he just owes a little of his hard-earned cash to get his Trump/Jesus paraphernalia.
