On This Day in History: June 14

A post for Trump on his birthday

Today is a dark day in history. Barely a year after the fascists were defeated in World War II in Europe, a future “leader” was defecated into existence in the United States. A hateful, racist, incompetent, orange-tainted blithering blowhard son of a KKK member anal fissure of a fascist. A smegma stain on the Stars and Stripes. And since it would drive him bugshit, let’s make this entry about the myriad accomplishments of the man Trump hates more than anyone else: President Barack Obama.

--On This Day in History Shit Went Down: June 14, 1946--

Barack Obama was the first U.S. president not born in North America. And no, it wasn’t Kenya. That’s a racist rumor spread by that callous cockwomble with an insectoid IQ. President Obama was born in Hawai‘i, which IS part of the United States, just not North America, so fucking get over it.

In fact, celebrate. These are President Obama’s words: “The opportunity that Hawai‘i offered—to experience a variety of cultures in a climate of mutual respect—became an integral part of my world view, and a basis for the values that I hold most dear.”

He didn’t have daddy bucks or influence to get him into fancy schools; he went to a top-tier private school with the help of a scholarship, also taking a job at Baskin-Robbins. He succeeded via his intelligence and drive while simultaneously facing down centuries of systemic racism that threw roadblocks in front of him at every turn for no other reason than his skin contained more melanin than the ruling class’s does.

A mere fifteen years after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama graduated from Columbia University with a degree in political science, specializing in international relations. In 1988 he began studying law at Harvard and was the first Black person to head the Harvard Law Review. Afterward, he worked as a civil rights attorney while teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago for a dozen years. He served three terms in the Illinois state senate, then won his U.S. Senate seat in a landslide in 2004. In 2008, he became the first Black person to win the presidency, clearing the electoral college vote at 375 to 173 and nabbing the popular vote at 52.9 to 45.7 percent.

In 2009, he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Oh, and he knows words. President Obama is the actual author of four books, three of which hit #1 on The New York Times bestseller list. He served two terms as president, and while there are criticisms to be levied, most who aren’t irradiated Oompa Loompa cultists would agree Obama did a decent job most of the time, especially when you consider that the GOP basically declared war against his administration. Alas, his successor had the personality of a toilet bowl owned by someone prepping for a colonoscopy. Rather than accept the results of the 2020 election, the corrupt motherfucker attempted a violent coup. Then in 2024, this man with an ability to transform any clitoris into a clitorisn’t became the first American president to be a convicted felon.

June 14, 1946, was a dark day in history indeed.

Those who cannot remember the past … need a history teacher who says “fuck” a lot. Get both volumes of On This Day in History Sh!t Went Down.
