At one key moment, a woman in a flowing, black and white, Asian-style costume appeared. As martial-sounding music played, she walked the runway with arms outstretched, carrying what looked like a red velvet and gilded Valentine\u2019s Day candy box. The women cheered as she paused, lifting the box to the heavens.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Butler-Short took the stage, her substantial, bejeweled gold lam\u00e9 millinery bobbing. \u201cThat signified our great president and the negotiations he is having with North Korea,\u201d she said. The music, she explained, was the North Korean national anthem.<\/p>\n<p>Some time after that, the Deplorable Choir from Houston, three women in red dresses and fringed red cowboy boots, took the stage, saying, \u201cWe\u2019ve been called every name in the book and we know that\u2019s not true.\u201d Their anthem for the women went like this:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe love God and family, we support our troops through everything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got Trump 2020 on the back of our pickup truck.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/deplorabe_choir-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-28130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/deplorabe_choir-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/deplorabe_choir-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/deplorabe_choir-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/deplorabe_choir-624x416.jpg 624w, https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/deplorabe_choir.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><br \/>\nThe \"Deplorable Choir\" - (the least-best Lemony Snicket book)\n<\/div>\n<p>The GOP is a cult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tea for Trump toast to an absent President Trump drew hundreds of women in hats, tats and floral finery to the Trump International Hotel for an afternoon of what Alice Butler-Short, the organization\u2019s president, called \u201cGod, fashion and politics or God, politics and fashion, whichever.\u201d As part of the second annual event, Sarah Huckabee [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28126"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28131,"href":"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28126\/revisions\/28131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ok-cleek.com\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
