Come Heller high water … the only mostly about you-know-who edition

January 17, 2018 by Andrew Heller 24 Comments

Come Heller high water …

  • Eric Trump said his father isn’t a racist because he only sees one color: green. I guess that means the only immigrants getting into the country from now on are going to be leprechauns. (Do they even have leprechauns in Norway?)
  • The odd thing is, when it comes to food, green is the only color he doesn’t see.
  • Speaking of Norway, when she testified before a Senate committee about what Trump calling Haiti and other nations “shitholes,” Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said she couldn’t remember if Trump used that term. So apparently whatever Trump’s got, it’s catching. All of sudden, no one in Washington can hear or remember anything.
  • Nielsen also said she didn’t know whether Norway was a predominantly white country. She said that. Of Norway. Perhaps the palest country in the world. And her name is Kirstjen, which sounds pretty darned Nordic to me. So you tell me she wasn’t lying.
  • The White House doctor said Trump asked for a cognitive test and scored 30 out of 30, which is good to hear. So when he testifies he won’t be able to say, “I don’t remember,” right?
  • Here’s the scary thing: If he’s not going senile, then that means he’s being an angry, small, misogynistic, racist, Russian-colluding prick on purpose.
  • Trump has stretched the waistband of shock when it comes to the presidency. That might be his most lasting legacy. Can you imagine any other president being accused of having an affair with a porn star and it not being all anyone could talk about? But with him, it’s just one more thing.
  • I’m throwing these next few items in here so this isn’t officially an all-Trump column, because I hate that he’s so all-consuming.
  • There’s no ring of hell low enough for Larry Nassar, the MSU and Gymnastics USA doctor who assaulted 100 girls. Seriously, the devil’s going to give up his throne and scepter to this guy. “Here you go, dude, you’re earned it.” The young women who spoke at his sentencing are courageous as hell.
  • I was at a barber shop when a guy in the chair and the barber were chatting about “product.” When did “product” become the new term for hair gel? I suppose it sounds more sophisticated than hair goop, but since when did everyone start speaking hair stylist-speak? I wonder what my grandfathers would say: “Product? Hair goop isn’t a ‘product,’ it’s hair goop. We used to call it Brylcrèem. A little dab’ll do ya.”
  • Ann Curry said she wasn’t surprised to hear about Matt Lauer, which probably surprises him. The thing about guys like Lauer, though, is they fool no one but themselves.
  • The meteor that exploded over the Detroit area is worth as much as $1,000 per gram, according to the Free Press. Let’s see, there are 453.592 grams per pound, which means a pound of meteor would be worth … well, pretty much worth my weekend going down there to look for space rocks. See you out there.
  • “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

    Kirstjen Nielson is either a lying trump butt kisser or dumb as a rock, either one is very dangerous.
    Thanks Andy for your input. I’ve heard the porn star and her husband also passed a polygraph test before the payoff from trump. Do you think trump could pass it? As long as the stock market is up, he could do anything. Greed is amazing.

    The last name Nielsen, with “-sen” rather than “-son” probably is Danish, rather than Norwegian. Denmark is the next country over from Norway, so she cannot be expected to know whether there are lots of black people in Norway. And, it may be her maiden name. Maybe she was Kristjen Uhuru before she got married. She may be from a different part of the world, or a different part of the cosmos.

    Not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon… Ms. Nielsen is going to be ashamed of this fakey fibbing she did on national TV, on Trump’s behalf.

    Andy Heller is still a butthurt, liberal, “journalist” who wears his pu$$y hat while writing his trash hit pieces. You have never met President Trump in your life and yet you proclaim him to be racist, misogynistic, etc. (Basically just copy/paste bullshit from other lib “journalists) President Trump is in great physical health and perfect mental health. It is documented fact. Therefore every single time you post about his “insanity” you are a proven liar from Hell.

    I have never met your wife or children. Should I start writing columns about their “racism, insanity, misogyny”, etc or would that be a bad thing? That would basically be the same as what you do every time you pee your pants and cry on your keyboard in your anti-Trump postings.

    Have you noticed a pattern in your “journalism” career Andy? Since you started to go full bore left winger nutbag in your columns, have you not been dropped as a paid “journalist” by almost every publication that once paid you? Perhaps if you wrote content that had value and was not just essentially copy/paste radical, leftist idiocy, you could find a market for your efforts once again.

    But you won’t…. You are fueled by your hate. It defines you.

    Buckle up snowflake. These next 7 years are going to make you soil your diapers regularly.

    The DJIA is looking pretty sweet! Thank you for your pro growth policies President Trump!

    I see stories regularly about illegal aliens being deported. They won’t be voting for Democrats in any upcoming elections. Woohoo!

    Wrong dad. He has heart disease. Coronary calcium ct was 133. Anything over 100 is bad news. Even the lying Doctor that did the tests now admits to it. He has a moderate risk of a heart attack in three to five years. He’s on the cusp of being obese and his total cholesterol was 223. You call that healthy?

      Gee the doctor that did the examination is the same doctor that examined obama. The media seemed to have no problem with the doctor whenever he examined obama and gave a report on obama. The doctor was deemed to be trustworthy by liberals. OH! wait a minute obama did not authorize his medical reports to be released to the media. He gave strict instructions not to release the results of his medical tests. You have HIPPA laws that a doctor has to obey. So we did not know the health of obama when he was president.
      The doctor cannot release any more information than what a patient authorizes to be released.
      I watched a montage of the “reporters” who questioned the doctor after he gave the medical report. If the doctor had answered some of the questions that those “reporters” had asked the doctor he could have been in legal trouble, unless President Trump had authorized him to do so.
      Asking questions like: does DJT wear dentures? Does DJT have skin problems? What kind of ice cream does he like? etc…etc…
      Yes President Trump has a moderate risk of a heart attack. So do a lot of people who are in their 70’s. Yes jim says even you.

        Trump is the one that released his info. It’s not required. Same way with tax returns I guess. Trump sure doesn’t want his released. But that’s okay that he doesn’t pay any right? Sorry pal but I don’t have heart disease and I am not in my seventies.

    The fibber in chief yields such power over his minions, they sell their souls for him.
    They are quivering at the thought that they may lose their positions at the speed of a key stroke.
    Elementary school children must sit in sheer bewilderment as they watch the daily onslaught of this chaotic presidency.
    The fiber in chief can not be trusted, his words contradict his actions.
    For years he railed about President Obama taking time off and being away from the White House, he even made Obama’s golf excursions major points of his hate of the man.
    This weekend, the fibber in chief will make his 12th, yes 12th, visit to Mar- a -Lago in Palm Beach, FL in less than one year in office, and yes as in all the other 11 visits, he will probably play golf.
    This Mar-a-Lago property is just one of many that he plays golf at repeatedly.
    The fibber in chief has said he would not have time to play golf once he became president and he would be spending his weekends at the White House working as their was so much to be done.
    Well, he spends most weekends at one of his many resorts or travelling across the country to various rallies and events.
    Each weekend at Mar-a-Lago costs the tax payers in excess of $3 Million dollars.
    One of the several bright spots, the stock market is soaring, but then again it has been on an upward climb for many years.
    Another bright spot, the new tax code, for the short term only…….. not so much for the long term.
    Another bright spot, Mueller, hopefully his investigation brings down the entire cabal.

      gee when obama was in office you had no trouble with him flying off to Hawaii on vacations that cost the taxpayers over $20,000,000.00 each time. Or when he would jet off to Martha’s Vineyard on some weekends and we the taxpayers picked up the tab for the rental of the places that he stayed at. Or when moochelle took the children, along with some of their friends, on a field trip to Africa that cost some where over $25,000,000.00.
      Mueller’s investigation for some reason keeps on coming back and focusing on hilliary and the dnc. Nearly a year into the investigation and still no direct ties to President Trump and the russians.

        gee…. I hate to rain on your parade, but……
        I did have trouble with Obama flying off to Hawaii as often as he did, it was too expensive for the taxpayers.
        I did have problems with Obama jetting off to Martha’s Vineyard on some weekends, it is too expensive for the taxpayers.
        I was not aware of the Africa field trip, what a total waste of taxpayer money, repulsive.
        I am awaiting the results of the Mueller investigation, the trump cabal is on shaky ground and the Clinton cabal is starting to feel the rumblings, they are next in the cross hairs.

          Right on jbcsfl, they need to keep their butts in Washington and think of the taxpayers money when they go on vacation. Hey working dad , trump must have lied about working every weekend and playing to much golf, or going to Florida so much. Can you admit to that working dad?

    As a nurse..let’s say the Dr was giving the results as he saw them. Dont disparage his skill or reputation . Watch the press conference again. Maybe thinking Trump was showing dementia symptoms or TIA or mini stroke issues is most peoples way to “kindly” understand why we’ve seen and heard behavior and language that distresses us. Maybe the Dr was telling us to drop those assumptions. As Maya Angelou said “When someone shows you who they are, believe them”

    The Dr says basic dementia screen was passed, physically, essentially good health ready and able to serve out his term maybe until 2020.

    Cognitive tests do not determine if there are any psychological impairments, and medical doctors do not perform psychological tests. Cognitive tests determine his ability to process basic information and the strength of his motor skills. All that test did was confirm that he is not suffering from dementia or Alzheimer. I never thought he was. To assume that is oversimplification.

    Trump behaves the way he does, because he is a mean and nasty spoiled brat, who thinks only of himself. He enjoys creating chaos, so he can sit back and watch it unfold for his own amusement. He is manipulative and a backstabber, who expects people to give him unwavering loyalty that he will never return. These are signs of a sociopath and a narcissist, and only a qualified psychiatrist can confirm that, not a medical doctor, no matter how many medals he has on his jacket.

    The people who continue to support Trump show signs of an inferior complexion and low self esteem. They thought they needed to follow the loudest, angriest bully to feel secure and relevant (think the goons that follow the school yard bully around). However, they don’t feel any more secure or relevant like they hoped they would. That is why they are on sites like this one, desperately trying to convince themselves that they were not made fools of, because to acknowledge that would bring an unbearable shame.

      Wow angry freddie, you claim that only ” a qualified psychiatrist” can confirm sociopathic and narcissistic behavior. In the rant above, you diagnose the mental and emotional aspects of Trump, and those who voted for him. I’m certain you’ll willingly produce your qualifications to make such determinations,like undergrad, med school and psychiatric residency certificates. It’s not like you haven’t said Trump is mentally ill here many times. If that’s too much to ask, have your puppet master andi produce similar documents. If he can, you’ll be given a free pass for playing a psychiatrist on a tiny blog. Well…..?

        I didn’t diagnose anything. I merely pointed out that these are signs of those disorders. He would have to schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist to confirm that he suffers from them. I challenge you to find a single time I have said for certain that he is mentally ill.

        Now in your case, do you think you would be here defending your position if you were secure with it? Would you be so angry if you were at peace with your decision? What are you so angry about? Do you even know?

        One thing that seems obvious, because you call me Freddie and Andrew, Andi. That is an indication that you think calling us female names is supposed to make us feel inferior. It is known that men who look down on and fear women and homosexuals are insecure with their own sexuality and are very likely gay themselves, but are still in the closest. Repressed sexuality is one of the leading causes of anger and emotional deregulation. I encourage you to look into that, even schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist. They can help you.

    For the 2018 “stretching the waistband of truth” awards may I nominate Jerry Falwell Jr? Evangelical leader of Liberty U. Not sure if he’s an ordained clergy.
    Tweet from Jan 9, 2018 7: 50 PM…
    “Complaining about the temperament of the @potus or saying his behavior is not Presidential is no longer relevant. @realDonaldTrump has single- handedly changed the definition of what behavior is “presidential” from phony, failed& rehearsed to authentic, successful& down to earth.

    Lots of retorts but I was struck by this one.
