Trump Will Finally Touch a Bible at Inauguration for First Time
Author: Jim Flanigan
Born to Run … Away Holding My Ears
Finally, the Trump Team secured some big time talent for one of their inaugural balls. Get ready Garden State Ball, it’s Bruce and the E Street Band …
My reaction exactly. The lead singer does bear a vague, overseas-knockoff resemblance to Bruce, but that is definitely not Clarence on the sax. Turns out I read that wrong. It’s not the E Street Band, but the B Street Band. Take a listen …
Trump Confuses Press Conference with Campaign Stop
In Fairness to Trump …
I think I really jumped the gun on this “golden shower” issue with Trump. I mean, just take a look at the Moscow Ritz-Carlton Spa menu …
TripAdvisor or TrumpAdvisor?
Donald Trump is having his first press conference today in almost half a year. Despite all the things that have gone on in the last 6 months, I really want the first question to be this …

Trump’s Golden Touch
More Leaks, so to speak
Another Trump Post From Flanigan Flanigan (don’t worry, this odd title will make sense if you read this post)
Warning … Warning … Warning
This is a REAL pic that Trump tweeted within the past day. I have not doctored it in any way as I have been known to do.
Trump seems so proud of it. How very personal. Signed by Nancy & Reagan Reagan. Wait, Reagan who? Reagan Reagan? Can you stutter when writing your name? Maybe Reagan Reagan is the dude with the gold braiding and epaulets over there to the right of Ronnie in the pic.
Well, if Ronnie’s signature is fake, maybe the “With best wishes” sentiment is phony, too. Based on what Trump stands for, I think this makes more sense …
Bad News? Maybe I’m Just Being Shellfish
Here’s some bad news from Popular Science …
http://www.popsci.com/warmer-oceans-neurotoxins-in-shellfish
If it is bad news, it is really “popular” science? Anyway, for those of you with an aversion to link clickage, the article basically says that warmer oceans create neurotoxins in algae that are eaten by shellfish that are not affected by the toxins, but then the shellfish could be eaten by us with deadly results. Great. Thanks, Obama.

Inflated Egos, etc.
It’s no secret that Senator Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump don’t see eye to eye on all issues, like the Mexican wall and Russian hacking just to name two. It will be interesting to see if Republican lawmakers line up behind McConnell or Trump on some of these sticky issues. God bless The Onion for this photo-shopped (is it?) pic of Mitch McConnell inflating his throat pouch in a show of dominance over Congress.
That is an altered pic isn’t it, or have we just never seen McConnell inflate that sucker before? There is definitely plenty of loose skin under there, and inflated to the proper pressure, well who knows?
I wonder what will happen when McConnell and Trump do butt heads. The visual display of dominance could be stunning.

Regurgitating Presidential History
No, this pic is not one of the numerous times that Barbara Bush tried to chloroform President George H W Bush. Yesterday marked the 25th anniversary of President Bush vomiting on the Japanese Prime Minister at the time, and this pic captured First Lady Babs Bush trying to minimize the massive spewage with a napkin. That worked about as well as you might imagine. If you are too young to remember this, or just want to relive a great moment in presidential history, you can watch it here with some added SNL footage at the end …
Of course, President Bush was embarrassed and contrite at his regurgitive faux pas, and the Japanese Prime Minister was as gracious as possible with a lap full of Bush chunks. This anniversary of a sitting President literally vomiting on a world leader would probably be forgotten if not for one thing.

This Isn’t a Funny Post
My critics will say that the title of this post can apply to just about any of my posts. In fact, I was just informed via Facebook from a relative (through marriage, thank God) that I am definitely not funny. Well good, then that will make this post easier to write.
There is a song in the movie MASH called “Suicide is Painless.” It’s not. It may be painless for the suicider or suicidee (I am not sure of the proper term to use), but it is certainly not painless for those that they leave behind. If I wanted to make this post all about suicide song titles (and I don’t), I would follow with R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts.”
Repeal Appeal
Republican lawmakers are having some second thoughts about the bill they are constructing to repeal Obamacare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act that provides health care insurance at reasonable, subsidized rates, irrespective of pre-existing conditions to almost 30 million Americans.
They know that repealing Obamacare will leave these almost 30 million Americans without health insurance, and that will likely result in serious illness and probably deaths for many Americans.
But that is not what is troubling Republican lawmakers.
Hola, Soy Mexicano Hoy
For those that do not know Spanish or how to use Google Translate, the title of this post means “Hello, I am Mexican today.” That’s because Trump promised Mexico will pay for the border wall, and now it appears that US taxpayers will. I guess we all became Mexican today.
Viva la revolución!
The Trouble with Trump Tweets
Here’s the trouble with Trump tweeting …
A crusty old Socialist named Bernie Sanders just may make a cartoonishly large version of the tweet that makes a Publisher’s Clearinghouse check look small. Then that salty old dog will parade it in front of Congress and the handful of people watching C-SPAN2 so that they can all see what Trump had to say previously about Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid …
Count Trumpula
I spotted this pic over the New Year’s holiday weekend. It got me wondering if anyone has seen Eric Trump in daylight or his reflection in a mirror?

Third Person Trump is Two Too Many
Recent Trump tweet, now in third person …
Can that possibly be a good sign? I can only imagine what’s coming next with Trump’s thin skin, maybe something like this?
One Trump is bad enough, but a third person Trump? Jimmy is getting nervous.
Do Judge a Book by The Cover
Looks like Trump is at it again, complaining via twitter about how he looks on a book cover.
Some may argue that any pic of Trump is a bad pic, but I do agree that CNN should change the pic and also the BLATANT misspelling. Might I suggest …
Blogger Sets Record Pace & Pays Price
Unbeknownst to me, it turns out that I am setting a record pace for blog posts in 2017, leading the way with more posts AND more stupidity per post than any other blogger in 2017. What a combo! But can I keep up the pace, and at what cost? My hands are definitely paying the price, with finger muscles spasming and contracting. Just take a look …
My finger muscles are contracting and convulsing, literally turning my fingers into tiny little stubs. Oh wait, turns out that is the wrong picture.
2017 Resolution? Check & Done!
With 2017 will come a new regime/reich/administration in the USA, so I am setting my 2017 (and beyond) bar very low.
Not all of us can be as accomplished as Michael Scott, so I set my 2017 New Year’s resolutions bar low.
