This whole era is the result of a botched installation - of the president by idiotic voters.
Don't get too excited about the Blanche thing. The GOP holdouts always fold. The worst case scenario always wins out.
Trump gave Fauci a presidential commendation on the last day of his first term. Moreno should find out who the fuck Trump thought Fauci was.

The latest pandemic is here. The condition is permanent and the symptoms include lying, grandstanding, soul-selling, self-serving, sycophancy, a frustration that RFK Jr doesn’t seem crazy enough, and a willful ignorance that deepens over time. managingeditor.substack.com/p/screwing-t...

AI can solve every problem except the one involving its own image.
Five minutes into Trump’s speech White House correspondents were begging for the lettuce.
Trump ranted and attacked rivals and the press. Just as we knew he would. And just what the fools who attended deserved.
If the Hollywood crowd liked Ozempic, wait until they try Cyclospora!
Even cutaways to Trump and friggin weird shit from Tom Cruise can’t ruin this game. That’s the triumph of the human spirit.
The lunatic who ranted about imaginary election rigging and said we should tariff Canada because of smoke from their fires blowing into the US is the same lunatic running the war with Iran.
The point isn't a pathetic lunatic embarrassingly spewing more rambling lies about an election he lost. The point is an entire poltical party lining up behind him, bending the knee, kissing the ass, and selling their souls along with the soul of democracy.
Here's the problem in the age of hate-driven voting patterns. Republicans hate Democrats Democrats hate Republicans. And other Democrats.
Tonight we get another episode of America’s most damning reality show, Gov Island, USA. Same unbelievable storylines, but with more producers and showrunners, and a lot more people in on the plot. managingeditor.substack.com/p/gov-island...

For those still not quite sure things are being run by a mob boss, Trump just said that in the Strait, the US would be reimbursed for protection.
Lindsey Graham was soul-selling’s Epitomizer Bunny. He abandoned his core values and moved toward Trumpism, and he just kept going, and going, and going. managingeditor.substack.com/p/the-epitom...

Lindsey No Evil, Another ICE Shooting

"I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. While receiving excellent care over the past several weeks, I’ve also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia. Thanks for checking in, and have a great 4th of July!”
Lindsey Graham spent his final twenty minutes on the phone with Mitch McConnell.
In addition to being a creep in many other ways, I also blame Graham Platner for all the fundraising texts I've been getting from Maine all day.
I’m beginning to wonder if politics is attracting our best and brightest.
