At 10:07 this morning, Donald Trump emerged from the South Portico doors of the White House, gripping First Lady Melania Trump’s hand with one of his own bruised and deeply discolored hands while the U.S. Army Herald Trumpets played in the background. As he made his way down the red carpet, he struggled to walk a straight line, at one point shaking his upper thighs apart to separate his inner legs, before finally coming to a stop as the moment he had been waiting months for was finally here. His close friend and the authoritarian leader of China, Xi Jinping, had finally arrived at the White House.
With both men wearing nearly identical matching suits and ties, the large protrusion beneath the lower back side of Donald Trump’s jacket was hard to miss as the two leaders and their wives walked into the White House to start a very long day of carefully staged diplomacy. He would later say of their time together, “We had a great meeting, and he has great interest in granite. He likes granite.” Before adding, “He’s an expert on stone, aside from many other things, and he loves good granite.” That is what the President of the United States was most excited to share about his time with President Xi. He likes granite.
Ironic, isn't it? Trump is so good at labelling Democrats as "communists " as if they are the enemy that when he meets President Xi, leader of one of the most oppressive countries of the world, he's all smiles. It's quite obvious that the Donald has no self awareness whstsoever.
LOL, a while ago I GTS's (google that shit) the communist party in the US. The answer was a building in NYC, go figure, and when I clicked on the address it said the building was permanently closed. If I could, I would refer them to the Trump Tower, I hear they are looking for tenants. 😂
Once again I applaud your post which adds details that I haven’t seen elsewhere. And you are absolutely spot on that it will take time to restore things that this country has lost during this administration. Inflation won’t fall overnight, prices won’t drop on day one, our allies will be wary of us for a long time, our world leadership in technology, medicine, and the arts will not spring right back from this administration’s damage. It will take time to even uncover what the administration has really been doing under its cloak of darkness. We. Ay never know where our tax dollars went and for what and who grifted it. We all must come together to plan together for what comes after.
What must Xi have really thought seeing the autopen? He sat across from Biden and knew who he was. And surely he knew how well versed Biden was in the issues of our day, even if they disagreed. But to see The Grump’s display surely confirmed to him that the current president of our country is a pathetic little toddler who is easily manipulated. And he will be soon, by Xi. Guaranteed.
First of all, Mr Trump, you DO NOT speak for me when you say that "we" have alot of respect for you"...WE do not...I do not respect a dictator whose country is severely repressed as China is...secondly, its obvious you are very jealous of Joe Biden, that you have to use a picture of an autopen in place of him on the wall of presidents...despite his failings, people have and continue to respect and support him, something you have never known...I almost feel sorry for you...you have never earned the respect of your family, friends, business associates and cabinet members...they are all afraid of you...as to why is what I do not understand...trying to emulate people such as Xi and Putin make you look like a fool
Heather, what do you have against granite? Yes, it replaced lamenite and tile in American kitchens, but surely you're passed that result. Of course, Trump's hard-on for Xi might have explained Trump's gushing. I'm fairly certain Xi had no idea what an autopen was, but more importantly, why this head of a powerful country was so fixated on the office supply product. Now we already know what Putin has on Trump to cement their friendship (my guess: videos of Trump cavorting with проститутка (prostitutka). Perhaps Xi was there, too, instructing his crew to "roll the camera." One might think it is the power of these two fellas' that Trump adores. But I'm betting on black-and-whites, rolls of film, and other souvenirs from our sleazy president's romps.
Let him have his buddy play date…makes him look worse by the minute ..cozying and sucking up to the communist dictator who wears the shit eating grin of a man who knows exactly where his heel is firmly placed while he masterfully plays the charade.
We’re going to stay focused on what must be done in 40 days…
I think we need to remember, too, that Trump and his minions WANT us to despair, to give up, and any few minutes, hours, or days we live our lives and find pleasure and joy in them, we are participating in the resistance. We are not ignoring the pain and suffering around us, we are not burying our heads in the sand, and we are taking whatever actions we can to win the House and Senate. We are also fighting back when we absolutely refuse to let him drain the color out of everything. Here's to fun, creativity, and community as in-your-face pushbacks to tyranny!
Heather brings up Nixon toasting the same Schramsberg Blanc de Noir with Preimer Zhou Enlai/1972. Somewhat surprised Trump went lowbrow & did not offer up J Schram Blanc de Noir? Which brings me to August 7, 1974 when three men, Barry Goldwater, Hugh Scott, John Rhodes had the courage/spine to tell President Nixon the gig is up, time to resign. Those three men do not exist today to do the same. Even with a tsunami blue wave November 4 the orange man will put this country thru a painful impeachment? On November 4 when polls close I hope to be toasting J Schram Blanc de Noir.
Heather love it when you put us, the reader there, make us present. Telling us @ 1:08 p.m. on the South Lawm it was warm/humid etc..., really helps us to visualize, makes it real. Not all writers do that.

He calls them dumbocrats but I thought he loved the uneducated.
He's extremely proud of his kindergarten insults. Having never matured beyond that age, he thinks everyone else is equally childish.

Always a worthwhile read, thankyou, Heather.
This is a searing indictment of the state of the mainstream press, and a reminder of why we need columns like Heather’s

Pity poor Xi having to spend 2 days in the presence of this shell of emptiness. But Xi is a master of the forced smile - he'll be ok.
You forgot the smell.

I had to laugh at the photo of trump and Xi with three legs each. (you have to look closely to see the men standing behind them.)
You made me go back and look.

V O T E.
Never. Ever. Ever. Fucking never. We’re scrappy. We’re optimistic. We’re Americans. ♥️🇺🇸♥️
And how is it ok that three justices on the Roberts Court and their spouses were at the State Dinner for Xi last night?
Red Carpet for Xi,
But insults for Zelensky!
Red Carpet for Putin,
But back of the hand to Ukraine!
Whose side is US on?
Does our President’s groveling provide a clue?
Do his Republican Elected and Appointed Class Members Object?
Hell no, Red is Red!
We’re not colorblind say they!
History, Literature, the News?
All fake, they say!
Red is Red, again, n they said!
They may be Commies, Oppressors, Invaders and Tyrants,
But they have the gems,
And we want the gems!
And, at least, they’re not Dems!
***********************
Two-faced Republican Elected and Appointed Class Members support this Cattle Crap!
