Arizona's Public Integrity Alliance, a conservative nonprofit group largely made up of East Valley Republicans, has helped topple former state Attorney General Tom Horne, targeted the slimy political maneuverings of former state Senate President Russell Pearce and his bumbling brother Lester, and put pressure on ex-Arizona Corporation Commission Chair Susan Bitter Smith to resign, which she since has done.
Now, disgusted by the rise of foul-mouthed demagogue Donald Trump, the PIA, which some wags snark also stands for "Pain in the Ass," is taking aim at The Donald and his dumb-as-dirt, ditto-head supporters, lampooning the latter in an awesome new music video for the spoof song, "Make America Great Again."
The video features Phoenix comedian Brian Nissen's reprising his running, redneck character "Dwain," a mullet-headed simpleton who loves corndogs, Karate, pickup trucks, sittin' out in the yard on a beat-up couch, and, of course, Trump, because he's not afraid to say the things that ordinary idiots like Dwain think and want their leaders to regurgitate.
Though the president of Public Integrity Alliance, Tyler Montague, expects a lot of people to respond favorably to the parody there is one group that he is surprised is also doing so:
Montague claims the video is aimed at intelligent, well-informed voters. But he admits that some of Trump's supporters are so dumb they don't know they are being dissed.
"I've noticed that some of the Trump fans loved it," he explains of the video. "They're like, `Yeah, this is everything Trump is about, this is dead on.' We're like, `You're kidding us, right?'"
Seriously folks you just can't make this stuff up.
My 84 year old father-in-law likes Trump. Hopefully, he's getting too feeble to vote next year!
ReplyDeleteMy husband, who comes from a long line of Republicans, never talks politics with me, but this weekend, he said he will be voting Democratic! I think this may be the election of the century..let's take it all back for freedom, prosperity, fairness, and Lady Liberty.
From the beginning I have thought that Trump is a plant made to turn red to blue, but then I'm afraid it all went to his big fat head and who knows what will happen now? People need to start kicking this trash to the curb. Vote Blue!!!

ReplyDeleteTRUMP SAYS HE'LL START SPENDING AT LEAST $2 MILLION A WEEK
GOP frontrunner Donald Trump says he'll be spending at least $2 million a week as the primary season kicks into high gear.
"I'll be spending a minimum of $2 million a week and perhaps substantially more than that," he told reporters on his plane as he landed in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Trump, who is financing his own campaign and hasn't done a major ad buy, said he would be "doing big ads" in the early voting states: Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. According to Trump, the ads will cover several topics, from trade and immigration to national security.
"I don't know that I need to spend," Trump explained, "but I feel I should spend."
Spend away, you buffoon! Nothing would be better than to see you showing your smarts by parting with all that money!
DeleteProbably a lot of it will be spent flying that fucker around in his private jet and trying to recover from saying his daughter has a nice body and he would date her.
Delete"I don't know that I need to spend but I feel I should spend."
DeleteTHIS is the mega-businessman he keeps yelling about? I wouldn't want that level of executive decision-making skill running MY business. He's no better than Sarah Palin, whose poor decision-making she failed to hide on her stupid reality show.
"...by parting with all that money! "
DeleteProblem is he'll buy it all on credit then welsh on paying when he loses. That's the political way.
That is also the Trump way!
DeleteWhy the hell "should" he spend, when our f'd-up Media is giving T'chump all the free political advertising they can cram down our throats???!!!!
Delete"I don't know that I need to spend but I feel I should spend."
DeleteSounds like another case of aflunzia!
Explains the lack of moral integrity. This illness is spreading! Watch out 1%ers!
"I don't know that I need to spend but I feel I should spend."
DeleteThe new conservative. Conserves nothing.
Come on! I'm in the media business, let him spend, trickle down economics you know...
DeleteSounds like he's sure he'll win but wants to make sure by buying as many votes as possible. Typical Republican mindset.
DeleteLOL The idiots fell for it? Blog post on patheos and a facebook shoutout in 3 ......2.........1.
ReplyDeleteI checked Facebook before IM. One of the 1st posts featured was from my BIL the militant right wing racist spawn from my sig-other's family. It was THIS video and he REALLY thinks its "real". And his friends do too, noticing the comments. All I posted in comments was "it's a PARODY". I find myself BLOCKED now. Should have taken a screen shot. {sigh}
DeleteSorta kinda like when Stephen Colbert was in his Colbert Report character and would make fun and mock Republicans, and the Repubs were literally too stupid to realize he was making fun of them!
ReplyDeleteI can totally see how they wouldn't be able to tell this was mocking Trump and themselves. They don't have the critical thinking skills to process that.
DeleteThey should have come right out and said, "Make America Hate Again!". Or maybe not...they might like it even more. Even David Duke said Trump was more radical than he ever was.
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome!
ReplyDeleteConservatives being funny? Who'd a thunk it? WOW. Good work but too close to the truth for comfort.
ReplyDeleteI can totally see the racists thinking this is a tribute to Old A-Hole Mouth.
As much as I dislike Trump, this actually is a perfect video for him. Call it a parody all you want, but in actuality, Trump would stand behind and claim this as his own. In reality, I don't think this hurts him one bit, and will most likely boost his ratings with his ilk.
ReplyDelete5 Crazy Things Ted Cruz Said He Will Do During His First Day As President.
ReplyDeleteWhile the country pays attention to Trump and his bigotry, Cruz has slowly been creeping up the polls and he’s just as insane, if not more.

You Haven’t Seen Crazy Until You’ve Seen This Ted Cruz Supporter’s INSANE Obama Rant (VIDEO)
It can be said that Donald Trump supporters may be the most imbecilic of all, but Ted Cruz supporters come in a close second. Or, if anything, they are exactly the same. They don’t seem to be grounded in reality in any way, shape, or form, and have become talking point parrots.
Recently, a Cruz supporter was interviewed on CSPAN and it was as if she was reading ultra-right-wing, fear mongering bumper sticker after bumper sticker. Her statements had nothing to do with the next. The only glue that held the entire thing together was the fact that she was consistent in hating Muslims and hating Obama. However, she clearly doesn’t even know why.
Here’s a snippet from the interview:

O/T but KARMA!
ReplyDeleteWhite Privilege Poster Boy Ethan Couch Caught In Mexico – ‘Affluenza’ Defense Won’t Save Him Now
You may remember the incident where rich kid Ethan Couch received only probation for causing a drunken driving crash that killed four people. His defense attorneys argued that he suffered from “affluenza” which translates into “his parents let him be a rich brat and didn’t set enough limits for him.” The verdict caused massive outrage at the time and rightly so because it sent the message that justice for the rich and privileged is different from justice for the rest of us. However, now he is back in custody and it’s going to be a lot worse for him this time around.
Mexican authorities have detained Couch and his mother while they were on the run from U.S. authorities in the town of Puerto Vallarta.
Couch and his mother suddenly vanished together earlier in December, when a video of him surfaced allegedly showing him at a party where Alcohol was being consumed. His probation officer discovered he was missing when attempts to contact him failed. After that, a warrant had been issued for Couch to be taken into custody for violating the terms of his probation.
Fleeing the country over a video of yourself being at a party where alcohol was being consumed is not usually someone’s first reaction. However, in Couch’s case, any violation of his probation would have resulted in him being forced to serve up to 10 years in prison.

I'm hoping and praying for adult court and 40 years in prison.
DeleteHey, Gryphen. The song was hypnotic. I was foot tapping and singing along and I almost succumbed to the dark side. I thought: vote Donald, vote Donald, vote Trump 2016. Who's going to be his VP? I hope it's Sarah!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I'm teasing. It was great parody. Especially well done for a conservative group in Arizona.
I wonder if it will be the Tramp and the Loudmouth for 2016. Though either could be the Tramp and the Loudmouth since they (Trump and Palin) both go for cheap theatrics to score political points (tramps) and they both aggressively use word salad (loudly as in loudmouths).
Anyway, here's hoping it's not Hair Hitler and Mooseolini 2016.
Kinda like when Scarah doesn't realize that SNL is making fun of her. Let's face it. These people are just not too bright.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone surprised Trump's supporters are too dumb to notice this is a parody?
ReplyDeleteWasn't there a study done on the brains of Republicans that shows the really rabid can't distinguish parody and satire?
Trump doesn't care about the parody, he prefers to hook up with his daughter.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for him to play this at one of his indoctrinations...err, rallies
ReplyDeleteLOL. ohpleaseohpleaseohplease
