If Only...

     I think most of us know the only reason why Obama didn't do this to Trump in real life- Respect for the office of the presidency, even when that office is about to be occupied by an umber buffoon who openly fantasizes about grabbing pussies, having sex with his own daughter and 11 year-olds he see on escalators.
     Even when he brings into his Cabinet some of the most evil free market douchebags this nation has to offer, such as billionaire Betsy DeVos for Education Secretary, who   for decades has been busting her hump trying to carpet America with more charter schools than McDonald's and Walmarts combined.
     Even when his new Karl Rove is fellow racist and misogynist Steve Bannon, who's proved to be such a polarizing figure that advertisers are fleeing Breitbart faster than they did from Rush Limbaugh.
     Even when his pick to head Treasury is Steven Mnuchin, who was recently described by Sen. Elizabeth Warren as "the Forrest Gump of the financial crisis".
     Even when Trump taps yet another billionaire, Wilbur Ross, to be his Commerce Secretary.
     Even when his idea of an Interior Secretary is Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, who never met an oil executive whose cock she didn't want to suck or an indigenous tribe she didn't victimize in some way.    
     Even when Trump's big idea of a good Secretary of State is David Petraeus, the most perfect delineation of the Peter Principle in all human history, a guy who leaked secrets to his biographer and lied to the FBI and thinks that would be a wonderful change of pace from Hillary Clinton.
     Even when Trump thinks a great Transportation Secretary would be Elaine Chao, Mitch McConnell's wife and the daughter of a drug runner.
     Even when Trump's pick for Top Cop is Jeff Sessions, a racist little leprechaun who would waste no time in dismantling the DOJ's Civil Rights Division.
     Yeah, Obama would've looked pretty petty if he had given Trump the bird in the Oval Office. It would've looked to a lot of people as if he was a sore loser and had decided to blow the last bit of his political capital on a puerile gesture, a childish way to end his legacy.
     But by infesting his Cabinet with a bunch of anti government, anti-regulation Free Market billionaires and his administration with racist psychopaths in a way that brings to mind a home contractor deploying not skilled laborers but dumping a box of termites in that house, Trump's essentially dragging the Office of the Presidency through the mud and giving us a tiny middle finger, anyway. And if tens of millions would've deplored Obama for giving this orange baboon the finger, to tens of millions more he would've been a fucking hero.
