That’s a direct quote from 47. He was warning women that taking Tylenol when they’re pregnant might lead to autism. He just hammered the ‘don’t-take-it’ message, ending with this sentence, “Don’t take Tylenol. Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen.” Eloquence in action.
He says things like that all the time. Corporate media tends to clean things up for him. They call it “sane-washing.” You take an insane statement, then “fix” it. If you can’t edit the thing to look good, you don’t show the event. You just report on it. “He spoke about the risk of taking Tylenol if you’re pregnant,” sounds a LOT better than, “It can only good happen.”
It’s important to note, while the CDC is changing warning labels on Tylenol and is putting out a notice to women, I hear there’s also a little disclaimer tucked into the text that says studies have not determined causality. It’s just a correlation. Some women who had autistic children took Tylenol when they were pregnant. That’s good enough for this crowd. SOME women who had autistic children ate asparagus. Why didn’t they pick on that? At least ‘asparagus’ sounds a little like ‘Asperger’s.’ It’s a much tighter link.
So here, to me, is the single most amazing bit about this startling new announcement from the crack team over there at HHS, these insane days: The most amazing bit is that we discovered the horrible side effect of Tylenol… before we had even discovered Tylenol!
Autism was first described in 1911. Tylenol was introduced in 1955. I suppose it could just be me, but those two facts sitting there together, side by side, cause me to doubt there’s a causal relationship between taking Tylenol when you’re pregnant and autism. I’m not surprised. Donny spends his days and half of his nights just making crap up, why not this? I DO wonder though, if Johnson and Johnson might be filing any lawsuits in the near future…

“It can only good happen” in relation to a major new, incredibly stupid lie from the regime could have been the most embarrassing thing he did this week – but it wasn’t. Donny prefers to believe his own press and he occasionally forgets that if he gets away from paid sycophants, he doesn’t get the fawning he so desperately needs. He really doesn’t understand that – MAGA aside – the entire planet sees him as a blathering, blowhard, buffoon. So he went and spoke at the UN, where he came off as, well, a blathering, blowhard, buffoon.
I mean, c’mon. The dude was stuck on a stopped escalator, fercrissakes. He just stood there. It looked like he didn’t know what to do. I suspect he might have stood there until someone got the thing going again. It was Melania who finally realized, “Oh yeah, these are steps,” and started moving again, though I suspect she was just trying to make distance between herself and her orange moron.
Like everyone else, The First Felon was allotted fifteen minutes to speak. So, naturally, he spoke for over an hour. The teleprompter wasn’t working. MAGA likes to brag about how he never uses teleprompters despite the fact that he regularly uses them. When this one broke, once again, he just stood there for a moment, staring. Then he burst into a fairly standard tirade about how everybody sucks and is out to get him and never forget how great he is, but tossed in complaints about the escalator that nearly defeated him and the teleprompter he never uses that wasn’t working.
He seems to STILL be holding a grudge against the UN for that time when he bid on the remodel of the building but didn’t get the contract. He told nations they were on the road to ruin if they pursued renewable energy, because he’s “good at predicting things.” (He’s not good at anything but people lie to him.) That was while he was blasting climate change as the “greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.” (Personally, I consider HIM to be the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world, but… quibbles, right?)
He bragged on his “accomplishments.” He thinks that because he produced a hat that says he was right about everything, he was actually right about everything. He said so in his speech! He bragged on economic miracles that never happened. He bragged about ending wars that never happened. He warned other countries they were “going to hell” if they didn’t get as cruel and inhumane to their immigrants as he is to immigrants in the US.
He demanded investigations into the escalator and the teleprompter. ‘Escalator-gate’ was solved quickly when it was discovered a White House videographer had accidentally tripped the safety mechanism that stopped the escalator. The world will just have to wait for the in-depth look into teleprompter-gate. Meanwhile, Americans cringe as he turns the US into a laughingstock…

This is probably my favorite story of this week, so far. Remember the drawing of the girl Donny made for Epstein’s birthday book? The one that includes the written line, “may every day be another wonderful secret?” The one he claims he didn’t draw that he definitely DID draw? Yeah, that one. Donny sued the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) over the report that Donny had been lewd with his pedophile, child sex-trafficking best friend, Jeffrey Epstein. It was a frivolous lawsuit, intended to suppress newspapers from printing things Donny doesn’t like. But the WSJ decided to fight back.
I suppose now that Donny has cost Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox Not-News and the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), nearly a billion dollars over the lies after 47’s insurrection, Rupert is not interested in parting with more money in Donny’s name. The Journal’s response, though, is a both-barrels response. Rupert ain’t messing around.
The first part was the most obvious. Along with his mountain of other lies, Donny claims the drawing is fake. The WSJ says it’s real and has been verified as real by the Epstein estate and the House of Representatives. But then the filing takes a turn. It explains that the WSJ couldn’t defame Donny’s reputation because Donny’s reputation on the topic is already so completely sullied by his own words and deeds that it’s not possible to defame him.
But they don’t just ask the court to take their word for it. They attach example after example. Um, after example, after example, after example. Pages and pages of it, from the ‘Access Hollywood’ recording, where he describes to Billy Bush how he sexually assaults women, to the E Jean Carroll case where he was found liable for doing exactly what he described to Bush, to the many various and sundry comments he has made publicly through the years – and there are a LOT of them.
They outlined the many times Donny said he’d love to sleep with his daughter, Ivanka. They noted the time he met Paris Hilton with a “Who the hell is that?” She was 12, at the time. He told Howard Stern he wasn’t interested in her because she was 12, but it felt more like a required disclaimer than an actual fact.
In a decent country, Donny would lose his frivolous harassment lawsuit. His case is so weak, he might well, even in THIS nightmare dictatorship. That means a court will agree that Donny is of such low moral character he can’t be defamed over low moral character. Fox Not-News will clean that up for MAGA, but the rest of the world will know. Then again, we already know…
