The
second
Trump
administration
will
surely
be
a
disaster
for
the
planet
and
all
living
things.
But
it
does
promise
to
have
some
very
funny
moments
—
although
we
may
find
ourselves
laughing
from
the
confines
of
a
gulag.
One
source
of
humor
will
be
Matthew
Whitaker,
whom
Trump
just
announced
this
morning
would
be
representing
our
beleaguered
nation
as
ambassador
to
NATO.
Whitaker
was
the
thumb-headed
dingus
who
took
over
as
acting
attorney
general
after
the
2018
midterms
when
Trump
kicked
Jeff
Sessions
to
the
curb.
“Matt
is
a
strong
warrior
and
loyal
Patriot,
who
will
ensure
the
United
States’
interests
are
advanced
and
defended.
Matt
will
strengthen
relationships
with
our
NATO
Allies,
and
stand
firm
in
the
face
of
threats
to
Peace
and
Stability,”
Trump’s
team
said
in
a
statement
blasted
to
reporters,
adding
that
“Matt
is
also
the
former
U.S.
Attorney
for
the
Southern
District
of
Iowa,
and
is
a
graduate
of
the
University
of
Iowa
with
a
B.A.,
MBA
and
J.D.,
where
he
played
football,
and
received
the
Big
Ten
Medal
of
Honor.”
That
will
come
in
handy
if
we
need
to
tackle
the
representative
from
Romania.
It
should
be
noted
that
our
current
representative
at
NATO
is
Scott
Oudkirk,
a
career
diplomat
with
degrees
from
Georgetown’s
School
of
Foreign
Service
and
the
National
Defense
University’s
Eisenhower
School,
who
served
on
the
National
Security
Counsel
and
in
posts
in
Turkey,
Iraq,
China,
and
Jamaica.
During
the
first
Trump
administration,
we
were
represented
former
Texas
Senator
Kay
Bailey
Hutchison.
Now
we’re
sending
the
big
dick
toilet
guy.
Forgive
the
profanity,
but
this
is
a
guy
so
deeply
unimpressive
that,
five
years
after
serving
as
the
US
Attorney
for
the
Southern
District
of
Iowa,
he
was
part
of
a
scammy
“invention
promotion
firm”
hawking
a
giant
toilet
for
men
who
can’t
keep
their
dangly
bits
out
of
the
bowl.
Every
time
Iowa
Republicans
had
a
chance
to
elevate
this
guy
—
to
Iowa
Treasurer,
to
Iowa
Supreme
Court,
to
the
Senate
—
they
passed.
The
best
he
could
do
was
get
himself
on
wingnut
welfare,
heading
up
an
astroturf
“chop
shop
of
fake
ethics
complaints”
to
harass
Hillary
Clinton.
Whitaker
was
thrust
into
the
spotlight
during
the
first
Trump
administration
when
the
president
passed
over
Deputy
AG
Rod
Rosenstein
to
make
Whitaker
acting
AG
after
Sessions
was
defenestrated.
Washington
Post
journalists
Philip
Rucker
and
Carol
Leonnig
wrote
that
his
direct
reports
at
DOJ
called
him
“Mongo,”
a
reference
to
the
big,
dumb
oaf
portrayed
by
Alex
Karras
[ed
note:
who
also
played
football
for
the
University
of
Iowa]
in
“Blazing
Saddles.”
He’s
a…
you
know…
MORON.
And
now
Donald
Trump
is
going
to
send
him
to
NATO
to
knock
down
other
countries
and
steal
their
lunch
money
because
the
moron
in
chief
believes
that
defense
spending
guarantees
amount
to
an
unpaid
vig
to
the
US.
Ah,
well,
Mongo
only
pawn…
in
game
of
life.
