Once More Into The Breach, My Friends

Grocery prices are up. Beef prices are up. Egg costs are up. Coffee is up, thanks to tariffs. But in the bubble between his ears…. Desperately seeking a distraction. My Dad was a CPA. I mention this because in his old age, he began having trouble with his checkbook, his tax returns. Not serious enough to make me worry, although after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor (after an incident I DID worry about), I began to remember the signs of decline I should have seen.

But if my father had ever started talking like this: like it was perfectly sensible and not at all innumerate, I’d have known something was seriously wrong.

These are not the words of a man who should even be in charge of his personal affairs. And nobody notices.
Another example. Same song, second verse. No, he didn’t. Epstein entered a plea of “not guilty,” and then committed suicide in jail after he failed to get released on bail. Maxwell hid from authorities for two years after Epstein’s arrest, and was in a jury trial for 3 weeks. There was a hell of a lot of evidence of her guilt presented in court. That’s how you get a conviction. That’s why she’s in jail. WHAT PART OF “CRIMINAL TRIAL” DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND, MOTHERFUCKER?

And the trial was in December, 2020. Trump was President until noon on January 20, 2021.
American men need to see a 27 year old without underwear writhing in denim so they’ll…want babies? Whisky tango foxtrot? And why is our President being asked questions like that?
Forget I asked. Our President is completely delusional. And he’s using those delusions to justify his malignant narcissism and deny reality by by ending access to information we have relied on from the government since FDR.

SNAFU. FUBAR.

  1. the senility isn't the frightening thing (well, it is when I think about who is nominally in charge of nuclear weapons). The frightening thing is the Republican establishment *and*, apparently, a lot of the rank and file. actually *wants* the results a senile narcissist can deliver as President: a sicker, poorer, meaner and dumber country

  2. True dat. He is giving them what they want. But having caught the car, can they keep the job as family dog? (Signs point to dissatisfaction among constituents in town halls that don’t display approval of the “revolution.”) Time will tell.
