The Good Old Days

I was looking through some old emails and stumbled on a 2016 picture of Vice President Joe Biden officiating a wedding between two male White House staffers.

A wave of nostalgia engulfed me for August of 2016, when the administration embraced gay people, Hillary Clinton looked to be heading for the White House, and her opponent Donald Trump hinted that gun owners could assassinate her.

America couldn't possibly elect someone so reckless to be president! Come on!

How innocent we were. We made Annette Funicello look like Ma Barker.

GG Tradition

I post this Kinsey Sicks video each Hanukkah. In light of the Bondi Beach shooting, I wondered if I should refrain this year, as the clip pokes fun at Jewish stereotypes.

I decided that drag and oys must go on.

Blame the Victim

There is no terrible situation that Donald Trump can't make worse.

In response to the murders of actor/director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner this weekend, perhaps at the hands of their son, Trump posted his own unique take hours after the tragedy.

Rob Reiner died "reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS."

Just when you think Trump can't get more revolting, he reaches down and attains a new circle of hell that even Dante couldn't imagine.

In Trump's reality, Reiner deserved to die because he opposed Trump. This is a potentate gone bananas.

"He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before," continued Trump.

Using a double murder to exalt himself. That's a dive from a springboard that even Greg Louganis couldn't have pulled off.

I can make sense of this delusional diatribe in only one way. Trump, as a narcissist, makes everything about him. Reiner was outspoken against him. I doubt Trump actually believes Reiner caused his own death by irritating a Trump supporter into homicide.

But his narcissism demands he use the deaths to his own purposes. And if he can get in the last word against an enemy, hey, that's a win.

This outcome to his minor spat with Reiner suits Trump much better than the alternatives. Otherwise he might've had to deny aid to Los Angeles, or order his attorney general to investigate all Hollywood directors, or place Scott Baio in charge of the Oscars.

Fighting Another Battle

Jason Collins has a place in LGBTQ history. A tall one.

The NBA center came out as gay in 2013, which made him not just the first openly gay player in the NBA, but the first openly gay fella playing in a major American team sport.

Now 47, Collins recently revealed that he has Stage 4 brain cancer. So hold a good thought for this trailblazer. Who, as it happens, was a Hawk, a Wizard, a Celtic . . . but never a Trail Blazer.

FACT CHECK: Trump’s only in America because his grandfather got kicked out of Germany for dodging military service. He begged the Bavarian government to let him stay, they said no, and he packed his bags for the U.S. The whole Trump dynasty started with a deportation notice.
