Trump's Circus Of Horrors Continues

The four-day fascist pep rally masquerading as a major political party’s national convention has made a mockery of equal rights and equal justice.

Pee-Wee’s Big Top—or as some call it, the Republican National Convention—rolled into town this week featuring QAnon supporters, evangelicals, racists, misogynists and assorted nitwits more often seen working the Tilt-A-Whirl at church carnivals somewhere in the Deep South.

In other words, the RNC kicked off its 2020 convention by serving up the same hypocrisy and lies that have been the main course of Trump’s administration since Day One.

Children of the South, including those of us from Kentucky, grew up well-versed in this hypocrisy. Where else can you grow up having your parents and politicians teach you that alcohol and marijuana are tools of the devil, while your state leads the country in production of bourbon and “Kentucky Kush”?

Thus it is with Donald Trump. He’s taken his cue from the evangelicals of the South who preach about family values while racing through multiple marriages as if they’re in a marathon. They moralize about how we should take care of the unborn and newborns but dispose of their own children like they’re wrappers on the McDonald’s hamburgers they overconsume.

Questions? Ask Jerry Falwell Jr., a Trump supporter who likes to watch, or ask Ted Nugent, another infamous Trumper who once proudly sang, “When in doubt, I whip it out.”

The first night of the RNC featured fire and brimstone that would make Old Scratch blush. The speakers, including Jim Jordan, who has the morals of a rabid hamster, spewed more lies in one night than the Democrats managed to tell us in four days.
