“It Will Be Temporary”

"It”? The disruption will be temporary? Or the measures to reduce the disruption will be temporary?

And “temporary” only means “not permanent,” it doesn’t mean “a week or two, a month or two.” Oil executives are saying the supplies in storage are drawn down, and by September shortages will get very real unless the Strait reopens soon. “Temporary” in this context means “at least six months after the Strait reopens.” Which is “temporary” only long after it’s over.
Oh, THAT temporary. So, in a few decades. After the facilities are in place at either end and the pipelines are built. Sure.
We all just fail to grasp the galaxy brain genius of Trump’s accomplishments. Can we leave Grandpa alone with his dementia, yet? Please? Can we? Like what? Rewriting DOJ policy? The policies Bondi tore up and rode roughshod over already, and Blanche continues to ignore? Blanche is not a federal judge and he isn’t the legislature in one person. He can protect Trump until January 20, 2029, provided he doesn’t get impeached or disbarred earlier. After that, he can’t do bupkis. I’m actually surprised he hasn’t declared it “Trump, D.C.”

  1. It used to be one person in a crowd around Trump would be looking at him with an expression of surprised disgust and now the whole works shuffles from foot to foot looking anywhere but at him. I don't think he has any idea how his constant need to be on tv is making him look worse rather than better.

    1. All that matters is that he feed the need. That “rally to end all rallies” is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard. Except when he insists he drew bigger crowds to the National Mall than the Rev. Dr. King. He is a small, small person, dwindling before our eyes.
