What happens when you let the gremlin get wet. By Hal M. Brown

 

It did’t literally rain on Trump’s parade, but it still sucked. In fact, for him the entire day sucked. Between the protests and the news coverage of the Minnesota shooting, not only did the non-Fox and other far right media not give it, I mean HIM, uninterupted coverage all day, but for many people, even his supporters, it was just boring.

If you are one of the six people in the country who doesn’t know the plot of the hit movie Gremlins, this is from Wikipedia. Those who know the plot about what happens when a gremlin gets wet can skip this quote.

Struggling inventor Randall Peltzer visits a Chinatown antique store to find a Christmas present for his son, Billy. In it, Randall uncovers a small and furry creature called a mogwai (Cantonese魔怪, 'devil'). The owner, Mr. Wing, refuses to sell it to Randall, but his grandson secretly does, warning Randall to remember three important rules concerning the mogwai – do not expose the creature to light, especially sunlight, which will kill it; do not let it come in contact with water; and above all, never let it eat after midnight.

In Randall's hometown of Kingston Falls, Billy works at the local bank, but fears that his dog Barney will be put down by widowed miser Ruby Deagle. His father returns and offers him the mogwai, now named "Gizmo", as a pet, and informs him of the rules. Gizmo is friendly and docile, but when Billy's friend, Pete Fountaine, accidentally spills water on Gizmo, five more mogwai spawn from him – a more mischievous sort led by the aggressive Stripe, named after the white mohawk-like tuft of fur on his head. Billy shows one of the mogwai to his former elementary school science teacher, Roy Hanson, spawning another mogwai, whom the latter experiments on. Back at home, Stripe and his fellow mogwai trick Billy into feeding them after midnight by severing the power cord on his bedside clock. They form cocoons, as does Hanson's mogwai, which soon hatch, emerging as destructive and reptilian imp-like monsters called "gremlins". Hanson is murdered by his gremlin, while those at the Peltzer house torture Gizmo and assault Billy's mother, Lynn.

Trump’s parade day birthday extravaganza was a big bust, and not the kind that prompts him to grab women.

He and Melania couldn’t even manage to effect a glimmer of a smile. They were pictured in the media looking like they’d been sucking lemons as they realized that what, at least Donald, hoped would be a bunker busting parade was bombing like the Broadway play, the aptly named Frankentein, which after 29 previews, closed after one night. Put this fiasco of a farce on this list of Broadway plays that closed after one perfomance on the Great White Way. This was supposed to be a the show of shows for Trump’s great white America… instead it not only was boring but so poorly managed that numerous people gave up on waiting in long lines in the heat and went home.

Even Trump’s speech, such as it was, was a dud. The only thing it had going for it for anyone who decided to watch in person or on TV was that it was mercifully short. I figured Trump was so bored he didn’t bother embellishing it by going off script and just wanted to get home.

It didn’t take long for Trump to realize that his parade had been rained on. Like the aggressive gremlin Stripe, he unleashed his malevolent self with what is probably the first formal presidential order given by a social media post. (Clicking below will enlarge the image, not go to Truth Social):

The post screamed “I’ll show you muthaforkers not to rain on my parade.”

Here’s a HUFFOST artilce about what he did: 'Openly Admitting': Critics Rip Trump For 'Dehumanizing' Sunday Night Announcement.

Trump desperately wants to be like the tough guy shown below. He has the power to inflict great pain on those he considers his enemies.

He’s really this guy:

(Click the above images will go to the YouTubes of the songs.)

Putting aside whether Trump will directly help Israel attack Iran, which would be an act of war, with this TRUTH he has declared war on half of America.

He will go down in history not only as the president who made himself dictator, destroyed democracy, but as the vengeance and retribution president.
