Trump Sucks!

[Bicycle Bill]

Literally ...

The movement to ban the plastic version many of us have used our entire lives, while surely well intentioned, took aim at a problem without offering a proper solution.  Anybody who’s tried to suck a milkshake through one of those disintegrating wood-pulp-based tubes knows this all too well.  So Team Trump sensed an opportunity to “own the libs” and announced last week the sale of “Trump Straws,” an alternative to those “liberal paper straws.”

There is no limit to the Grifter-in-Chief's propensity for grift.

But. But. But....he donates his salary

But you reallu have to love how straws are anthropomorphized, and acquire the political label of "liberal" by virtue of the material they are constructed from.

It reminds me of Pat Nixon's "republican cloth coat".

200,000 sold...thus proving that—literally—there's a sucker born every minute...

[Lord Jim]

When he launches a line of Trump hemorrhoid suppositories with his face on them, I'm in for a box...

[Joe Guy]

I thought of this idea and then decided to Google it...

$4 and you’ll never need to use another plastic straw - just keep these in your car or carry them in your bag or backpack.

Save some wildlife!




I highly recommend the documentary A Plastic Whale for motivation to break your plastic habit - it’s free to watch on Prime.

Metal drinking straw impales UK woman’s brain, killing her

Reusable metal straws may be good for the planet, but they can also kill you.

The November 2018 death of Broadstone, England, resident Elena Struthers-Gardner has just been ruled accidental. According to the Daily Echo, the 60-year-old woman collapsed in her kitchen while holding a glass — whose 10-inch steel straw drove through her left eye socket and pierced her brain.

Right, just risk a horrible death every time you use one!

Don't worry, when the Trumpites get abortion banned, they will ban these straws too lest some women try to use them to end pregnancies.

A freak accident involving a very disabled woman who shouldn’t have been carrying ANYTHING while walking from place to place, given her propensity to fall over at any moment.

Millions of people are enjoying reusable aluminum straws safely every hour of every day. Maybe you shouldn’t get any; I defer to your own assessment of your lack of ability to use basic tools safely.

I am sure there are people who have accidentally stuck themselves in the eye with metal forks and knives, but I haven't heard that as an argument in favour of plastic ones.

[Joe Guy]

She tried drinking to forget but she couldn't keep that straw out of her mind.

It was a joke, dear. I had thought the improbability was obvious to all.

Now, here's something that I bet you WON'T see on the Chief Huckster's website ....**

THE DONALD TRUMP 'DAMMIT!' DOLL

Stressed out by Trump?  Give this doll a thump.
Does "Repeal and Replace" make your blood pressure race?  Slam stress in the face!
Worried about Russian hacks?  Give this doll a few whacks!

**(it IS, however, available at Walmart.com)

Just follow the instructions —

Whenever things don’t go so well, and you want to hit the wall and yell,
here’s a little Dammit Doll,that you can’t do without.

Just grasp it firmly by the legs and find a place to slam it.
And as you whack its stuffings out, yell “DAMMIT!  DAMMIT!  DAMMIT!”

The only thing I can see that they could do to improve it would be to make the tie a little longer, so it hangs about half-way down the length of his trousers fly.

That doll is way too thin...

It needs to be much paunchier...
