A Republic, If You Can Keep It

When I was a kid and played with Matchbox cars, you had a panel truck…a station wagon…and if you were lucky, a Mustang or a Corvette. The idea of a “play stretch limousine” never even entered our thinking. We’d never seen one. Of course, if we wanted to ride around on a play lion, we had to use a mop and our imaginations.

In Meet the Press, he literally said he’s not sure if he has to uphold the Constitution.

Yeah. That was a more formal interview, so the gibbering nonsense he spouted is arguably worse.

There’s video in the link. He actually said this. And meant it.

He only has to as far as others are willing to force him to uphold it.

Well, that’s not how this is supposed to work - obeying the law is kind of a minimum standard for good societal behavior - but it’s what has to be done in his case because he’s a blancmange-brained sociopath.

I think we’re well past the point of how things ought to work.

More Trump spending spree…his birthday/Flag Day military parade…paving the White House rose garden (apparently there’s dirt there, and he can’t have that)…he calls those millions of taxpayer dollars “peanuts”. The real money is being spent on all those children’s pencils.

Trump defends the high price tag for his military parade: ‘Peanuts compared to the value’

The value? Of a parade??

If he’s at a parade in his honor, he isn’t fucking shit up. #Winning

You can be sure that the bill for repairing damaged streets will fall solely on the “host” city.

Due process was just made up out of nothing, says man sworn to uphold the constitution.

Yesterday it was 2-3 million trials. Oh btw, Adolph. The Supreme Court held more than a couple of years ago aliens have due process rights.

Trump claims he has no idea who posted this, but he knew nothing about it. Even though it’s directly from his account.

Presumably the culprit who did this will be perp-walked along with the people who have been stealing billions from Social Security.

RFK Jr. isn’t just dangerously unhinged he’s actively evil.

Scaramucci is on point here. Which is disturbing.

I was reminded today that Red Dead Redemption 2 has an NPC in New Orleans St. Denis who is promoting eugenics.

Normally, any violence against an NPC will bring down law enforcement on you. In St. Denis, the police presence is so voluminous that this is often fatal. Yet, you can kill the eugenics guy in horrific ways (I am a fan of a simple fire bomb) right in front of the cops and no one bats an eye.

I think they are onto something…

Jar Jar Vance likes the Star Wars prequels where a power-hungry maniac engineers trade disputes to trigger an emergency so that he can assume supreme executive power.

This clip spares you the gibberetical word salad that Trump spewed in relation to buying Canada (in which he said he’s a “real estate guy” which is important only because Carney references it in this response).

Trump, in response to Carney’s emphatic, unequivocal, categorical and voter-backed “no” to any sale, says “we’ll see”. Trump not understanding that “no” means “no” is totally on brand, of course.

Pretty sure that Carney will have walked away from today’s Oval Office experience with an overwhelming need to build a wall.
