Remember the photo opp with an upside down bible, that Trump did in Washington DC not long ago.
Trump had the military turn less lethal guns on the peaceful protesters there.
Well, a whistleblower recently indicated, that they actually considered using a heat wave against the peaceful protesters. This military device makes it seem like your skin is on fire within about 4 seconds.
People have a constitutional right to peacefully protest. It's really strange how some people turn their back on those who peacefully protest and enable abuse of the public.
Unbelievable how corrupt the Trump administration is, including AG Bill Barr.
Anyway, here is the 'Closer Look' by Seth Myers earlier tonight;
A farmer had a three legged pig and his neighbor asked him why the pig had only three legs. "Well, I'll tell you" the farmer replied. "One day I was plowing my field and the tractor turned over and pinned me underneath. That pig ran for help. He saved my life". "Oh, that's how he lost his leg?" the neighbor drawled.
"No. One night my wife and I were sound asleep and the house caught on fire. That pig woke us up. He saved our lives!" "So that's how he lost his leg", stated the neighbor.
"No, that wasn't it" the farmer affirmed. Exasperated, the neighbor demanded "Then how did he lose his leg?" and the farmer replied, "When you have a pig that good, you don't eat him all at once!"

Trump Agrees to Be Interviewed for New Book by Joe Biden
By Andy Borowitz
September 11, 2020
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a decision that surprised many political insiders, Donald J. Trump has agreed to be interviewed for a new book by Joe Biden.
According to Biden, the book will be “an in-depth examination of the Trump Presidency, with special emphasis on his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and his comments about the military.”
Trump said that, when Biden approached him about the book project, “I moved on it very strongly.”
“This is a fantastic opportunity for me, quite frankly,” Trump said. “It’s going to be a major book, and I think Joe is going to make me look really good in it.”
Asked about the logistics of the interview, Trump said, “Joe told me to call him up late at night and just start rambling. This is the kind of thing I’m really, really good at, because I’m very smart.”
Biden’s book, titled “Don’t Vote for Donald Trump,” is set to go on sale a week before the election.

I wonder if the "stable genius" will also allow Rosie O'Donnell to interview him for her new book, 'Azzhole in the White House'.

Satire from The Borowitz Report
Trump Says He Deserves No Blame for State of America Because He Has Not Actually Worked for Past Four Years
By Andy Borowitz
September 1, 2020
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Pushing back against attempts to brand the United States of 2020 as “Trump’s America,” Donald Trump said that he deserves no blame for the state of the country, because he has not actually done any work for the past four years.
“I could understand people blaming me for things if I had actually been doing my job, but, quite frankly, I haven’t,” he said. “Anybody who claims otherwise is a terrible person.”
“CNN, which is a disgrace, says that it’s the White House’s fault for this and the White House’s fault for that,” he added. “Well, I’ve hardly been at the White House, so, once again, they’re wrong.”
Attempting to answer the question of whose America it is, if not his, Trump said, “The last President who actually worked at the White House was Barack Obama. So if this is anybody’s America it’s his and Sleepy Joe’s. People are saying that. They’re sick of living in Biden’s America, and we cannot give Joe Biden another four years.”
He rejected any suggestion that, as President, he must own the current conditions in America, asserting, “I know what I own and what I don’t own. I own Bill Barr. I own Mitch McConnell. I don’t own America.”

Satire from The Borowitz Report
Trump Says He Could Beat LeBron James in a Dunk Contest If Not for Bone Spurs
By Andy Borowitz
August 29, 2020
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald Trump escalated his war of words with LeBron James on Saturday by saying that he could defeat the N.B.A. star in a dunk contest were it not for bone spurs.
“I’ve seen LeBron James on TV, and, quite frankly, I don’t think he’s very good at basketball,” Trump said. “The media is very unfairly biased in favor of him because he’s a Democrat, and I think it’s a disgrace.”
“You look at LeBron and sometimes when he shoots the ball, it doesn’t go into the basket,” he said. “If I try to drink a glass of water and miss my mouth, it’s all CNN talks about.”
Trump said that it was “very sad” that his bone spurs would keep him from showing off his slam-dunk form, which he called “poetry in motion.”
“A lot of people are saying that I’m better at dunking than that beauty LeBron,” he said. “A lot of very smart people.”
At the N.B.A. bubble, in Orlando, James, drafted out of high school, responded that he understood that the President’s foot woes would prevent him from participating in a dunk contest, but said that he would be happy to face Trump in a spelling contest.

Well, that's not a fair match-up. LeBron took his own tests and did his own school work.
Trump barely passed a cognitive test and paid other people to take his tests.
Not that we've actually seen those results of the cognitive test.
Maybe they're hidden with his tax returns and school grades.
Well, last night was weird, unless you want someone screaming at you.
But, tonight will feature a more soft spoken Melania.
And right here & now, courtesy of A Late Show, here's is a preview from (an imitation of) Melania.
Enjoy !
