Seal of approval

Man, what a week in the whacky world of Kleptolandia. I frankly do not know how Repugs can manufacture the amount of foam that they proudly spewed—along with wild-ass conspiracy theories, outright lies and general rants—in the hearings Wednesday with Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III. Without exception, they showed themselves to be ignorant, terrified, incoherent, bootlicking lunatics, and apparently their constituents are happy with these performances.

Then, of course, Cadet Bone Spurs spent the evening raising money for his 2020 campaign and spinning the day as COMPLETE EXONERATION NO COLLUSION NO OBSTRUCTION.

In other words, just another day in Dystopia.

Well, there was the Chaos Monkey’s posturing at a meeting Tuesday of Future Klansmen of America (uh, “Turning Point USA”, a youth indoctrination group founded and run by RWNJ Charlie Kirk, so there you are). As WaPo reported Thursday, after a maximum-volume video intro, the Kleptocrat waddled out onto the stage and bloviated to the enthusiastic white crowd, in front of the Presidential Seal, which some master-level troll altered to truly represent this occupant of the White House:

The American eagle has only one head, but this one is two-headed, an imperial insignia most closely associated with the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires. (In case you’re asking, both empires went extinct 101 years ago.) No doubt Bone Spurs would consider two heads more impressive than one, like two scoops of ice cream when everyone else gets only one.

Actually, he’s probably going to issue an executive order for a three-headed eagle, because no one’s eagle has three heads. That would be bigly.

For your reference, the official seal:

The eagle on the real seal grasps olive branches in one talon and arrows in the other, representing peace and war. The Turning Point one clutches golf clubs and cash (possibly on the latter), referencing his 198 golf outings since taking office. Instead of “E pluribus unum” (“Out of many, one”), the motto reads “45 es un títere” (“45 is a puppet”; in Spanish). All of this is, in fact, perfectly appropriate for this lazy, grifting, greedy Russian asset, so I expect you’re going to see this meme a lot.

As of writing, the Kirk crowd were still desperately trying to lay hands on whoever inserted the updated seal. Oh, and trying to deny that anyone knew anything about it. Which seems appropriate to a know-nothing like Kirk and his Twittler Jugend organization that clearly has no one paying attention to anything but the ideology and cash receipts.

Whoever the troll is, the entire world is lining up to buy him/her a drink. Including me.
