In which the pond wants a slice and serve of not just our Henry, but the Donald too ...



The pond had it all figured out … read a bit of nonsense about how the Donald cared about Vlad and the Ruskis getting involved in US politics - a cheap and easy and clever scam compared to conventional warfare - and throw in a few cartoons, and everything would be done and dusted, and never mind that the Donald spent his latest rally speech entirely ignoring what his heads had piously talked about just a little time before…

But then the Trumpian Henry sounded so sad, lost and forlorn without a chance to scribble about the Donald in an adoring way …


How could the pond walk past, especially as our Henry had been blessed by the cult status of a Lobbecke, not that you could guess from the reptile splash …


Talk about being blessed by the master.

And our hole in the bucket man had a good explanation for what ails the country.

Australians are dumb or perverse or complacent, or possibly all that and more, up against the optimistic Americans, lost somewhere in Q world …


Poor Henry, facing dung for dinner ...


But Henry has already told us what is coming, and what joy it promises … a way forward with some tertiary-trained Donald ready to stand up down under and save the country …


And so the pond could have its cake and eat it in good Trumpian fashion …


It's a nonsense of course, with Vlad and his diligent workers ready to create mayhem, and a dumbed down electorate only too happy to embrace weird conspiracy theories of the Q kind, while turning up their noses and looking away from obvious conspiracies ...


Of course the Donald could have spent a little time in Wilkes-Barre warning how the Ruskis were coming, but instead he sent out his willing tools and useful fools to pretend they were doing something ...


Meanwhile, Coats didn't have a clue about what was said or agreed in Helsinki, a couple of weeks after the meet, while Kristjen Nielsen is famous for her fawning ...

“This almost Cruella de Vil press conference that she held was shocking to those of us who know her,” said Arick Wierson, a TV producer, columnist and former media adviser to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg who was a classmate of Nielsen’s at Georgetown University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service. “That’s not the Kirstjen we know.” (Politico here).

But this shouldn't get in the way of the pond's cartoon-led recovery …




… though really is Vlad the worst of it? Can anyone else put up their hand with pride?



Never mind, the final gobbet must be forced down, if only so a few more cartoons can wash away the taste ...



Time for a few creature metaphors ...

  2. Henry the Err, gas: "[The tax cuts] are not an alternative to funding health and education. They are, on the contrary, needed to ensure the economic growth without which all social goals will be harder to finance and achieve."

    Another big bit of rancid ignorance and stupidity from the reptiles' Big Catechism of Lies. But they just keep on and on and on, repeating them until, like anything said too often, they simply become meaningless verbal formulae. "You just tell them and they believe you" might fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but it just doesn't fool all of the people all of the time.

    Except for those wanting to cash in on over-priced share buybacks which nonetheless don't in any way diminish annual cash dividends. Hooray ! But they sure as hell don't promote large scale investment in Australia, or create or maintain jobs, or provide for pay increases. Dudgeons like Henry just can't grasp simple truths: an economy is nothing but people spending money. And the best wat to keep people spending money is to make sure they have enough to spend.

    Go on, Bucket Man, explain "the paradox of thrift" to us.

  3. The USA is like a laboratory for destruction testing of ideas. Trickle down economics is only one of the theories that they had to rush out and try (so convenient for those residents of Kansas the Koch brothers)

    Failure never discourages the Hooray Henrys however, they just go on repeating the mantra. I guess if you look at the actual outcomes you will never appreciate what a wonderful theory it is.

    Next, of course, we will have the American healthcare model or the need to involve ourselves in an ill-considered US military adventure.

    1. "Failure never discourages" Ah, but for failure to discourage, you have to recognise your failures. And those - like Trump and the great majority of his supporters - who are advanced cases of Dunning-Kruger derangement syndrome simply cannot recognise a failure even when it smacks them across the moosh.

      Just remember: "I've done more in 500 days than any president has ever done in their first 500 days."
