Honest Joe v. Don Bonkers

Good people need to hear “Sleepy Joe” speak. This man has a far superior intellect than a special counsel grasping for straws with accusations of poor memory based on any slip of the tongue.

Let’s compare right here. Do you want to know who can’t put two sentences together? Listen to “Don Bonkers.”

Let’s break this down. Joe is a healthy 178-pound biker and runner. Don Bonkers is a punchline for claiming he weighs 215 pounds. Pffft. Not without Ozempic.

Sleepy Joe has a track record of more than four decades of political acumen and diplomacy, real credentials with global experience.

Don Bonkers has a mouth and a mob, a super-rich mob after handing them nearly two trillion dollars in tax relief at the stroke of a pen, nearly bankrupting the economy, leaving the middle class to cope, then packing the Supreme Court with help from same said selfish mob.

Joe: honest, decent, Don: greedy failure

Joe is an honest, decent human being with an entire adult life in public service to his country. Don Bonkers hasn’t spent a nanosecond serving anyone but himself, his greedy family and short-sighted, power-drunk cabal. Hardly worth mention, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley pathetically milk the media (after milking investors) to build their own name recognition, then suck up to Don Bonkers in hopes of landing a job to milk the public taxpayers from the nation’s citadel.

Don Bonkers inherited a fortune, and what has he produced? A lifetime of failures and screwing people over. His track record as an avaricious businessman and a sneaky shyster is without precedence. It would be comical if it weren’t the tragic product of a malevolent narcissist infecting the world by his daily example as a fading remnant of white-male patriarchy.

Joe isn’t a braggart, more like a young tree that bends in the wind, remains flexible in the face of facts, apologizes when appropriate and makes amends.

Never once has the obstinate Don apologized for any of his litany of proven lies. Like his followers, he stubbornly refuses to change his opinion, and to hell with facts. Same for science.

Perhaps most of all, Joe has a heart.  Don Bonkers has set a new low bar for heartlessness

So when did good people lose the ability to tell right from wrong? Or, better yet, why did they lose it?

Let me guess. A malicious ex-president floods the airwaves with his angry diatribes, phony “alternate facts” and insane accusations. As his right-wing, right-hand man, Steve Bannon said, “The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with s—.”

The more Don Bonkers floods the airwaves with outrage, poisoning the channels of public information, the more he destroys the trust in the bedrock of our country, the watchdog of Democracy, and the more his mob grows. Why? Because people cower in the face of malice and lies repeated are the hammer of propaganda. Hitler’s evil henchmen honed the tool.

The great author Toni Morrison was never impressed by evil, “stunned by the attention given to its every whisper, its every shout. Evil has a blockbuster audience,” she said, while “goodness lurks backstage.”

So now a special council oversteps his bounds with a remark about Joe’s memory based on a slip of the tongue, and every other editorial writer is losing bladder control, falling over each other to pounce on the pres. I’m thankful to have a wise old man steering the ship. What I DON’T want is a malicious ex-prez demanding to be a king, above the law.

Do you think Joe’s memory is slipping? How about Don’s daughter? She’s half Joe’s age and can’t remember anything.

I think I’ll just stay here on Planet Earth and hold out hope that my friends will eventually end up on the right side of history. In Don Bonkers, Republicans make war in the fashion of the worst fascists like Franco, Mussolini and Hitler.

The thing about a windbag is all it needs is air. As long as print and broadcast media allow Don Bonkers to say anything he wishes, he pads his base. But when a lie is a proven lie, any media that perpetuates it is an accomplice to a liar and should be called out and denounced as biased, shameful, and unprofessional.

The comparison is elemental: Joe is a seasoned pro, while Don is still an apprentice, full of hot air. I repeat for the media at large: Don Bonkers has a mouth and a mob. Turn off his hot-air supply, and he will deflate like an old, worn-out, hot-air balloon, ending this national nightmare.

Listen to Joe. Good people need to speak up. Do you want a Democracy? Stand up for it.
