Typing Out Loud: Did He Finally Cross that Line?

A reminder da Pope is from the South Side of Chicagah

I'll say it again: Jesus fucking Christ. 

The orange menace has had himself quite an eventful few weeks, what with threatening war against Iran, closing down a major trading strait on the other side of the world, picking fights with Pope Leo, and threatening to enact the draft, which is GREAT for this mother of a 17-year-old. All while trying to keep a wrap on the Epstein files. 

And his MAGA base was eating it up, as if he was some sort of badass hero. 

I feel like he's been trolling and testing everyone to see how far he can go. I thought it all along during his 2024 campaign. He still has outstanding bills from his pep rallies from his first administration, so he took advantage of people's good faith and charity to pick up the check while he held rallies in plants, orchards, warehouses and the like. 

His last political stop before the election was here in Grand Rapids at the Van Andel Arena. He was supposed to be there at 9 PM, as no campaigning was supposed to happen after midnight, as that would officially be election day. When did he arrive? 12:30 AM. 

It was a test to see what he could get away with: he broke the rule by campaigning on election day. What was more disturbing to me was how many people, in obvious devotion, got in line as early as 2 PM for doors to open at 6 PM, and stayed, hanging on his every word when all the kids shoulda been in bed. 

He was testing their loyalty, and they passed his test. They rewarded "the rebel, the cowboy" with their votes, and continued to reward his as his actions, his words, and his policies became more and more outrageous. He's "owning the libs!" 

Pope Leo, with a bat, saying in his beset midwestern nice "yeah... no."

Then he crossed a line this weekend by depicting himself as Jesus. 

Whoopsies. 

The Christian Nationalists are suddenly, "ope, he's gone too far!" 

Really? After demolishing the White House, decimating higher education, demonizing LGBTQIA Americans, breaking up families, destroying economies, bankrupting farmers, marginalizing women and minorities, increasing taxes, and generally being a dick for the last 10+ years, an AI portrait of him as Jesus is the line he finally crossed? 

Nah, bish, you created the monster, you deal with him and invoke the 25th amendment. He's 0 for 3 on my scorecard; I washed my hands of him back in 2016.
