Where were you when Trump shook Putin's hand?

7/19/2018, 1:34 pm

With great catastrophes, we can remember where we were and what we were doing when we first heard the news. Comrades, the world ended when Trump shook Putin's hand. MSNBC has rightly compared this unspeakable act of treason to the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kristillnacht, Pearl Harbor, 9-11, and yes, even Watergate - but worse.

The truth is that this meeting is much worse, so much worse, so unbelievably worse than even the worst case scenarios that could have been imagined in their worst worst cases. This is the end.

Read on, if you must, but it gets even worse...

How bad is it? The Washington Post, a bastion of truth in reporting, ran an unattributed comment, "Trump also made it clear that he was more excited to sit down with the Russian president than he had been to visit with NATO allies earlier in the week in Brussels." And I need not remind you, comrades, that what WaPo thinks is what we think. Therefore, we are shocked and outraged. Stunned. Numb. Pinching ourselves to see if we can wake up from this nightmare. But, no, it happened as much as we want to pretend it didn't.

We have further reports from anonymous White House officials that Trump went completely off script and ruined all the carefully laid plans that the anonymous White House officials had labored over for decades! Any change in plan would have been disastrous, but tossing the whole script is the worst calamity since the meteor that destroyed the dinosaurs, except worse.

Our news sources are reliable and unbiased. It may appear on the surface that media outlets had already prepared to report this as the worst disaster in human history even before any facts of the Trump-Putin meeting could be known. Now, just because that's exactly what happened is no reason for our confidence in journalistic integrity to be shaken.

As usual, media deniers are all out on their YouTube channels and social media (which we do not yet control as well as we should) making a big deal about the sources being anonymous. The skeptics are alleging that if the sources are anonymous, anybody could make up anything and call it "news."

Well, of COURSE the sources are anonymous! They know that if they're found out, Trump will fire them, deport them to labor camps or the George W Bush killing fields (located behind the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas), and exterminate their families. Just like Trump punts little Mexican girls back over the border, he'll have no remorse about what he does with disloyal White House officials. The real problem is that these Trump Kool-Aid drinkers just don't want to admit how devastating this meeting will be to their very existence.

As for me, I'll never forget that moment. I remember spying on a conservative neighbor when I got the text: "Trump and Putin have shaken hands!" Just then my neighbor and his Russian handlers burst into demonic, maniacal laughter that split my head. I felt dizzy and so nauseated that I even forgot to pull up his "Make America Great Again" sign in my valiant crusade for tolerance. I just needed to throw up somewhere and wait for the shaking to stop.

I knew what that handshake meant. That was the day America lost her innocence.

Alas, I missed seeing this because at the time I was reviewing my collection of videos of Dear Leader Obama executing his graceful and near-balletic bows before foreign potentates.

Naetheless, now that I have been instructed to do so heard about this malfeasance and treason on the part of Trump, I am indeed outraged and appalled.

Excellent, esteemed feline. At the Karl Marx Treatment Center, we call this "thinking for yourself," and we're always updating the guidelines for independent thought so you don't have to. It's the least we can do to for the Toiling Masses™.

7/20/2018, 3:11 am

We were watching a live feed of The Handshake Heard 'Round the World™ at the Repair Institute when one of the conscripts students opined without permission commented that it was probably just a negotiating tactic, much like the rest of Trump's actions.

I thanked him for his candor and had him transferred to a program where he'll gain some much-needed hands-on experience in shovel use and application, rather than repair.

This week: OMG! Trump confronted Iranian President Rouhani with a tweet in ALL CAPS! Trump told Rouhani not to dare attack America which means he's really daring him to attack! Trump is being too tough on Iran! Trump is provoking Iran! Trump wants war with Iran! Trump makes America look bad! Trump makes America look like the world's bully! Tyranny! Hitler! Treason!

Comrades, can you tell us where you were when JFK was assassinated? Most of us can recognize this major event in our history, and know where we were. Yet, for some strange reason, Bush 41 can't quite remember.

https://whowhatwhy.org/2013/10/02/bush- ... r-22-1963/

A letter from his wife innocently revealed where he actually was: Dallas. Actually, I don't remember when Trump shook Putin's had because it's so uneventful, I don't even care. I do wish Trump would post the most significant and "diversified" video of folks getting together and dancing! Here's one of them: They enjoy twisting everything!

7/26/2018, 9:42 pm

Pamalinsky, Yes, I remember where I was when Kennedy was assassinated. I was in Sister Margaret Elizabeth's 3rd Period Chorus Class. When word came of the Catholic President's death, Sister Margaret Elizabeth was certain that the Red Menace would descend upon us (not to mention Khrushchev's shoe) and no longer would the Pope be the de facto leader of America! It was heartbreaking. How could I forget?

7/27/2018, 12:19 am

Comrade Vasily Willy, what a coincidence! I, too, was in a Chorus class at Cal State Long Beach in California. It was an 11 to noon class. Someone walked in and told us that Kennedy had been assassinated. We were stunned but the choir director insisted we continue till the end of the class, "the show must go on" sort of thing. I'll always remember that day.

7/27/2018, 11:10 am

Pamalinsky, there are no such things as ‘coincidences.' You and I are now forever locked in a psychic/cosmic dance, . . .

It's late at night and we're all alone
Just the music on the radio
No one's comin', no one's gonna telephone
Just you and me and the lights down low
And we're slow dancin', swaying to the music (from Chorus class)
Slow dancing, just me and my girl . . .

Now, whenever I think of you, my inner Johnny Rivers will emerge. Yes, Pamalinsky, the show must go on! A toast to our Cosmic Chorus Class and our cosmic connection . . . Nostrovia!!!

7/27/2018, 11:44 am

Comrade Vasily Willy,
Now, that was sweet! ; • )

7/27/2018, 3:01 pm

New Comrade Vasily,

Your skills at spreading the organic barnyard fertilizer are noteworthy, but you might want to pay more attention to the beetfields and your quotas than the womynfolk…

I haven't seen you in Tractor Barn 2 for happy hour political speeches or singing of the marching songs. Stop by this evening after the shovels are cleaned and counted and join us for freshly fermented light refreshments. Your first visit is free, bring your ration card for subsequent visits.

7/27/2018, 3:05 pm

Thanks for covering for me, Comrade Ivan,

I do try to be welcoming to all newcomers, especially if they are quite sweet. But, you never know now, do ya? Sometimes it pays to play the role of "honey pot." This can get me extra submission points on The Cube which is all that matters. Right?

p.s.: I especially liked your use of the term "organic fertilizer." Nicely played! And, probably true.

7/27/2018, 5:26 pm

No problem Pammy!

Not that I'm here to protect anyone's virtues; but good grief, his opening move is a 1977 Johnny Rivers "belt-buckle polishing"and first-kiss prom standard? I'll bet he wore a mullet. Maybe still does.

I'd like to see this guy try that on Comissarka Pinkie. It would be like a bullfight in Juarez, you know he'd get slaughtered, but the spectacle, the style and technique--you just can't look away...

Once he gets all of his hair cut off and his first de-lousing, maybe a few blisters from tending his beets (which should curtail his howling at the moon), he ought to fit right in.

And remember, young lady-- snuggling up to the new kid in class doesn't get you on the Mother-Page.

Shoot, now that i mentioned it, even I can't get on the Mother-Page on my best and most creative and/or sober days anymore. Comrade Director Red Square must have upped his standards. In the old days in the Army we used to say "We've upped our standards, so UP YOURS." We would encourage each other like that. It was fun.

7/27/2018, 11:56 pm

Ivan, I want to thank you for the less than warm reception. While I realize that the world can be a dangerous place for someone who possesses all of Pamalinsky's charms, I want to state to the Politburo that my intentions were, and are, entirely noble. Following Pamalinsky's request, I was simply sharing my 63' experiences. Wanting to memorialize our shared chimerical musical experiences, the first 1963 song that came to mind was “Dominique,” by the Singing Nun - and knowing that Sister Margaret Elizabeth would approve, I chose not to make the old bat happy! (I know she's still lurking out there somewhere) And besides, that song just didn't convey . . . “That Lovin' Feelin.”

Once I got Soeur Sourire's obnoxious melody out of my head, the next 63'song that came to mind was a little diddy by Ruby & the Romantics – “Our Day Will Come,” (as in the Glorious World of Next Tuesday) (please take note of how nicely I worked in the organic fertilizer)

In the end, you caught me out with my use of a 70's Johnny Rivers song (which by the way, Pamalinsky thought was real sweet) and for that I stand chastised but unrepentant. But I never did have a mullet and for that rebuke I expect the first two rounds of light refreshments to be courtesy of Tractor Barn#2!

We're preparing Ivan's vodka industrial solvent for export, therefore daily rations have been decreased from 20ml increased from 10ml to 15ml effective last week. Please do be sure to check with your local commissar for current ration schedules before demanding free booze submitting your materiel requisitions.

Also, all haircuts must conform with your local factory/farm work unit's regulations guidelines.

7/28/2018, 4:11 am

Comrade Vasily Willy, surely you must know by now, although sometimes it's hard to tell, that we are just messing with you. We wouldn't do this if we didn't like you. Ha! You have no idea what I went through when I first arrived on ThePeoplesCube. It was brutal!

I found wonderful people who I truly respect and love. And, that was way back in 2010!

Stay with us!

7/28/2018, 11:49 am

Pamalinsky, I was not offended in the least. Nyet! I fully expected a vetting or else how would the Commissar know if I could fix tractors – or just talk a good tractor line! As you said, one can't be too careful these days. I emerged from my initial hazing – so to speak – a stronger and more dedicated Comrade! Now that I'm here I have a number of questions – some rhetorical, some not. I thought I saw an Emperor Penguin last night, are there more to be found in this part of Siberia? Do I always have to wear my ushanka at meetings (it messes up my coiffure) and is there a secret password? In closing I just want to say that I thought Ivan's mullet remark was a little ‘below-the-belt.' Of course I don't have a mullet - not anymore, anyway. I think Ivan is a little jealous because we share a ‘connection' and as I signed off I was singing . . . “She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy!”

P.S. I'm having my Party ‘creds' placed on my avatar soon. Which reminds me of another 63' song by Lesley Gore . . . “It's My Party.”

7/28/2018, 3:28 pm

Dear new Comrade, you will have noticed by now that we are gloriously multispecies here, with much intersectionality. But this mullet of which you speak.... It is a fish, is it not? I am fond of fish, although these mullets are seldom to be found in the waters of the Motherland, even when the ice breaks.

Look, RedDiaperette, Give him a break! He admitted to never having a mullet, either above or below the waist. So, there's that. Sorry for the imagery but facts are facts!

7/29/2018, 10:53 pm

Comrade VW, welcome to the fruited collective where we are all equally engaged in the Great Struggle™ for the Socialist Utopia of Next Tuesday™. We take our direction from His Equalness, Red Square, and we passionately believe the Current Truth™ no matter its relevance to actual facts.

7/29/2018, 11:29 pm

Yes Comrades! Thank you all for the warmest of welcomes! I offer good Russkie warm toast to all engaged in the Current Truth™. May you all have lots of beets, lots of love for the Motherland and lots of time to enjoy them both! As old saying goes (from the 60s), It's better to have beets in times of no rubles, rather than rubles in times of no beets.

RedDiaperette, . . . fish? Of course not fish. I think perhaps you are confusing codpiece with fish, no? Mullet not fish. Ah, but ice floes. Now that explains the Penguin I saw.

Merkins! Oh, the valuable stuff I learn on the People's Cube!

Saaaay, Just ponder how I'll impress the cis-ladies at the next May-Day People's Formal with my natural charm reinforced by this newfound knowledge of such things ...

7/30/2018, 5:50 pm

I always thought of myself, Vasily, as a man of the world, but this merkin I've never heard of before. (Yes, Ivan, the things we are learning here) (It's that pesky Pingvin again) But I swear by Stalin's bushy moustache that I know for certain that no self-respecting, babushka-wearing Russian woman would ever have a NEED for such an item let alone wear one. Nyet!

Another reason to raise a toast with Ivan's beetroot (beetrot?) Here's to au naturale! No merkins forevermore!

It's triggered me. And you know what happens whenever I'm triggered, Imperatorskiy Pingvin--oh, but you have that penguin thing going on, don't you, which offers you special Party-approved protections.

Very well. I'll just have to take my shovel to the head of the nearest available humanoid comrade. That turns out to be none other than Comrade Vasily Willy.

WHACK!!!

Welcome to the Collective. Don't forget to pick up your teeth, or Ivan the Stakhanovets will trade them for a hot pink codpiece and go pole-dancing for cheap vodka and even cheaper women. He'd do it, too.

I didn't do anything wrong - ever - but I seemed to always be the first one in HER path when some spirit 'triggered' her (I don't think it was the Holy Spirit). Instead of a shovel though, she got me upside the head with a 10 pound hardcover Latin book - 19th Edition. Hurt like hell and knocked me and my desk into Mary Margaret O'Brien - who, like you, took it all quite personally. Lighten up, it was all that pesky little Penguin's fault - and I don't mean Sister Margaret Elizabeth.

7/30/2018, 10:54 pm

Which brings me back full hammer and circle to Kommisar al-Blogunov's question: Where were you when Trump shook Putin's hand? Coincidentally, simultaneously, I was watching the Korrekt Party News and at the same time that the Earth stood still during the handshake, a young Comradette, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez- who incidently is the new face of the Party™ - was engaged in the yeoman's work of re-defining the Brave New World© of Next Tuesday™.

I can only express dismay that as political officers none of my fellow comrades had arrived at Alexandria's brainchild. How simple, how elegant, how outrageously mind-blowingly prescient was her perception - and that we didn't SEE it! DEMOCRATIC-SOCIALISM. Repeat after me . . . DEMOCRATIC-SOCIALISM! Why didn't anyone in the Politburo see it before. The utter brilliance of the phrase is the stuff ad agencies are paid millions of rubles for. This is how ad agencies become legends. Remember the eTrade ™ baby? We are talking about that kind of impact. The proletariat and the rubeswill love it! You saw what happened in 2016 with the “Feel the Bern” campaign. This could be bigger. And all of this out of the mouth of a babe! Checking her bio, I immediately saw that she was an ‘educator' and community activist. No drek, Sherlock!

Following Alexandria, and coincident with this earth shattering campaign, the DNC Chair, Tom Perez, stated emphatically that Socialism is the Future of the Party™. Comrades, l don't have to tell you that we are making ‘in-roads' right and left, & Left & Left & further Left. It's a glorious new world of Next Tuesday™. Now get out there and be a part of it! Rouse the masses, inspire the troups, harvest the beets and remember always the plight of the working-class!

I will never forget the week Trump shook Putin's hand and Alexandria went beyond the ‘Feel the Bern” straight to the Scorched Earth Logos of the New October Revolution™: DEMOCRATIC-SOCIALISM! Brilliant!

A little hint here, new Comrade Vasily Willy. Um, one of the many reasons we admire and respect the Indominable Commissarka Pinkie is that she loves to make a big deal out of everything, stirring the pot, if you will. We respond accordingly.

Pamalinsky, I can't begin to tell you how much our little tête-à-tête has helped me. Further, I can't thank you enough for the personal guidance and attention you have showered upon me as I navigate the vagaries of this intrepid and esteemed collective (and the wiles of Commissarka Pinkie). I have warmly noticed the camaraderie and how you all play off one another and the ensuing creative spontaneity. Sorta like shovel-ready, extemporaneous . . . what was Ivan's expression? Oh yeah . . . ‘organic barnyard fertilizer.' (The man can sure turn a phrase). It is commendable!

You may count on my continued adherence to your counsel. I have much to learn and have already stepped in my own organic barnyard fertilizer and have made a mess in my attempt to Quote/EDIT/Cut&Paste while posting. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Most equal, Comrade Vasily Willy! YES! DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM, where everything is FREE except you! (We love oxymorons) -Hat Tip to Blanco, the cartoonist, whose relevant cartoon I couldn't find.

Pamalinsky, In my haste to become a valued and conforming member of the Kollektive ™ , I failed to follow the Orientation Instructions (for getting in touch with my inner Comrade), wherein I learned that the proper path to my selfless enlightenment has gone unaddressed and my former capitalistic sins and ego have gone unchecked and without absolution or expiation. It is only through an acknowledgement of my past sins that I can be reconciled with the Party.

Where do I board the bus to the Karl Marx Treatment Center? I am ready for my shovel and the subsequent purging of my 'old self' - and any residual 'bugs' that may still be extant - as I seek oneness with the kollecktive and my new identity, wherein I am no more equal or unequal than any one else. It is with the requisite contrition that I acknowledge my co-opting of the moniker "Comrade" before having actually earned the distinction of that revered appellation. I remain humbled and seek rehabilitation. Where's that shovel?

Now, that is truly sweet! I, too, am a "work in progress" and will always consider myself as such. You have "proven yourself" in just one post. I will always support you, as will others but, the true "boss" is Comrade Red Square, who we all would crawl through glass for. He has created a most wonderful forum for all of us. He is one of the most kind and generous people I have ever met. He came here from Ukraine and was appalled by the left's reaction to 911. He explains this himself. Google it and good luck if you can find his origins.

Well, I guess we overlapped each other on this one. You are already accepted here. Do yourself a favor and don't kowtow to what you think are the powers that be. You've already met us. Chill! Don't acquiesce to what you think is the hideous "norm". For Stalins sake, don't grovel!

Well, alrighty then! And, as they used to say in the 60's, "Never straight, but always forward" . . . On to the next emerging issue in need of our korrect opinion and attention.

For Your Eyes Only, Comrades,

I know we all infiltrate other websites like Drudge and Breitbart and others, using secret names as disguises. In the past two days I uncovered some "undercover agent" using the term "merkin", a term I had never heard of until I saw it on The Peoples Cube, in the comments section. On this post to be exact.

So, who among you is the guilty party? Hmmmm?

Come on! Fess up! I want to congratulate you!

I tried to order one for you but they're out of stock. I wonder who got the last set?

Hey Comrade Putout! I went to that party on Saturday night and I could swear I heard Barry say, "They call me "Smerkin' Merkin" but you can call me "Sue." Bwaahaahaahaahaa!
While I may have said it myself, I dunno, what with us all being stoned and all, my after-party thoughts are "He's gonna sue the hell out of us for revealing this little "tidbit."Bwaaahaahaahaahaa?

Trump Putin Handshake.gif

Hmmmmm? So the handshake never happened or meant nothing when it did OR Putin magically turned Trump into a piece of upholstery where everyone, especially Putin, can relax and be comfortable? Perhaps both are true. These days ya just never know. Nyet?
