Orange Man and the Seven(ish) Dwarfs

Disney’s next flop-in-the-making and the Republican primary race are weirdly similar

Rumors continue to swirl about Disney CEO’s Bob Igor’s efforts to claw back, if not cancel outright, the live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The outrage and backlash that’s been directed at the film following the release of production stills has been significant, to say the least.

With a Colombian (or is it Latinx?) Snow White and six of the seven dwarfs not being dwarfs at all, is it any wonder? Oh, it’s very diverse and promises to be woke as it can be—because that’s been working so well recently, hasn't it?

All that’s left to do now is formally change the title to something like “Slush Brown, a Midget and Six Tall Diverse Persons Fight the Patriarchy” and be done with it.

Too harsh? At least I didn’t call them “hipster pedos from Portland” like Robby Starbucks did. I do have some restraint, unlike some with their ideas for future Disney remakes.

But even Bob Iger can see that doing that would be bad for a company that’s lost half its value in just two years, has theme parks that are basically ghost-towns, is losing streaming customers hand over fist, and has allowed Kathleen Kennedy to Mary Sue the galaxy’s most profitable franchise into the financial and critical dirt.

But that’s okay, because now Disney is partnering with a transgender social media influencer who likes to dress up as Minnie Mouse.

Yes, that’s right—Mickey’s best girl is now a trans-woman. Or, as we called them in my day, a boy in a dress.

Here, Bob, have a Bud Light. You’ll need it, because apparently you didn’t learn anything from Anheuser-Busch’s recent misfortunes.

Meanwhile, there’s an almost Disney-esque feeling around the Republican Presidential race. There’s President Donald J. Trump and seven (or eight, or nine, not that it matters) Dwarfs. There are despicable villains—Joe Biden, Jack Smith, and offstage awaiting her cue, Fani Willis. Some of the Dwarfs are feckless, some are clueless, some are just stupidly annoying, but most are just there in the background, not doing much if anything.

Towering over all of them is the Orange Man himself. The Once and Future President is very clearly the star of the piece, and in any decent, honest and normal cycle the Dwarves would only be competing for Cabinet slots and the VP slot.

Pity this is about as far from a decent, honest or normal cycle as you could possibly get.

The polls tell the tale, and it doesn’t bode well for the Dwarfs:

Clearly, Donald J. Trump is by far the favorite choice of Republicans, and the indictments by Jack Smith isn’t doing anything except driving Trump’s popularity up.

Trump is also the clear favorite nationwide, as this poll—the most recent one I’ve seen—clearly shows.

Now, let’s talk about those Dwarfs.

Little Ronnie DeepStatis was the early choice of the RINO/Never Trump wing of the Uniparty, (RNTU) but his campaign has been a textbook case of how NOT to succeed despite burning through nearly $40 million. Now he’s had to lay off staff, and his major donors are drying up faster than a puddle of water in the noonday sun. It’s an open question at this point whether or not he’ll have ANY political career after this cycle’s epic crash and burn. Stick a fork in him—he’s done.

While we’re on the topic of epic crash & burn, how about that Mike Pence? He’s another Great White Hope of the RNTUs, mainly because the RNTUs are still thankful Pence allowed the crooked election of 2020 to slide by without acting to stop the steal.

News flash, Mike—70+ million Trump voters will NEVER forget that.

Mikey has also made a few epically awful moves, Chief among them his “that’s not my concern” gaff when Tucker asked him about America’s crumbling cities. The last time we saw a campaign die that hard and that fast was when Howard Dean screamed.

Pence’s latest flub was his gas commercial where he pretends to fill up a pickup truck—but he forgot to select a grade of gas so the pump beeped at him the whole time.

Mikey, when was the last time you actually pumped gas? How many DECADES has it been?

At least he finally managed to qualify for the Republican debates, after being reduced to begging for $1 donations to hit the magic 40k individual donors. Too bad for him Perry Johnson did it before little Mikey!

Even with his recent admission that he might have had the power to stay the 2020 election, it’s too little, too late for little Mikey Pence. Just go home, Mike. Game over.

Speaking of Perry Johnson, don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard of him. He’s a businessman who got his 40k donors by selling “I stand with Tucker” shirts for $1. Yes, he lost money on every shirt, but who cares? He wrote his campaign a check, and now he’s qualified for the 1st debate. Plus, he’s put a LOT of shirts out there. He’s one to watch if for no other reason than the neat gimmick he used to get his podium on the debate stage. He’s pulled those Tucker shirts from his store, but he’s still got a ton of cool swag up—and it all $1! For that price, I may have to stock up on koozies & other swag, just because! I highly recommend Johnson’s campaign store, just for the fun factor. FYI, most of the swag doesn’t even have his logo on it, but it’s all cool, like this hat:

Vivek Ramaswamy, who I will henceforth refer to only as V-Ram, initially got traction in the race because he was the ONLY one of the Dwarves to go to Miami and support Trump at his first indictment. V-Ram hasn’t done anything terribly stupid, and is working on explaining his Soros connections. So long as he doesn’t do anything stupid, like calling Trump supporters “crybabies” for not just accepting the 2020 election…oh, wait. Never mind.

And V-Ram—you need to hire me for your campaign to make “V-Ram” a household name, because seriously, NOBODY wants to spell or say your full name. They just don’t. Branding, baby; it’s all about the branding. Especially since that 2022 Politico article is bound to come out. Better start working on an apology now, or get ready to go home.

Chris Christy went to Ukraine and *shockingly* no one cared. Just like everything else he’s done lately. Bored now, please go away.

I’m sure Nicky Hailey and Tim Scott have done some things, but…if a candidate says something and nobody bothers to listen, does it really matter? Yeah, no.

There’s a few more, declared & otherwise. I’ve heard one new guy advertising on the Mark Levine show, but can’t remember the name. Burgum, maybe? Yes, his commercial was that bland. Try harder next time.

Will Hurd has a nice website…until you see where he’s an ex-undercover CIA operative!!!!!

WOOP! WOOP! WOOP! GLOWIE ALERT! GLOWIE ALERT! GLOWIE ALERT!

We need Trump because he’ll go after the Deep State. We don’t need to elect a President who might be one! Sorry, Mr. Hurd. You may be a great guy, but no vote for you!

In other news, Glenn Youngkin has been meeting with donors as a backup plan (to the backup, to the backup) should the Injustice System manage to bring down President Trump.

I have to confess to being very ambivalent about this. As much as I want Donald J. Trump to be our next President, there’s a good possibility that it won’t happen. Between the Regime’s incessant lawfare, the media’s ongoing smear campaign and the Cabal’s iron-clad desire to prevent Trump 47 from becoming a reality, I’m not terribly optimistic. Obviously, I’m not the only one (and this video, if true, is chilling).

I’ve also been a proponent of backup plans for decades, and as Presidential backups go, we could do a lot worse than Youngkin—see above.

Meanwhile, on Saturday The Orange Man himself will be at the Iowa State Fair with NINE Florida Republicans who’ve endorsed him over little Ronnie DeepStatis!

If I had faith that the 2024 election would be fair and honest, I’d worry a lot less. It’s just too bad the only faith I have left is that the same crew that stole 2020 will be doing their damndest to steal 2024.

When or if that happens… I shudder to think of what will come afterwards.
