Closing Out The Weekend

Hussain Albukhaiti: Trump should have known as well where Iran was going to retaliate. They do have missiles. I mean, a child would know that they would retaliate against your bases. pic.twitter.com/fjyjkZybR1

Assuming Trump ever bothers to consider the consequences of anything that won’t directly affect him. And even then he just thinks he’ll get away with it, and consequences will fall on somebody else.

This is what happens when you vote as ignorantly as a child, and vote for a child.

Disgusting anti-Muslim bigotry and scare-mongering here, even by Fox standards. We would never allow this for a Black or Jewish politician. https://t.co/kRhKwiAvMt

Will he take it to Mar A Lago with him when he leaves office?

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was making a door dash delivery.

ICE refused him medical treatment until APD showed up and called an ambulance. I wonder if Homan and Mullin are going to deny that ever happens.

I expect the polls, as usual, are going to see Democrats “over perform.” 

Don’t worry, GOP! Turning the triumphal arch into an ammunition dump will certainly turn these numbers around!! https://t.co/xebEFXrwLu

If the arch doesn’t work, this certainly will:

The only thing Republicans have to offer in this election is mindless manufactured culture war drivel. pic.twitter.com/otxMi5ZWED

I mean, being anti-Sharia law worked so well in the GOP primaries, they nominated Ken Paxton and Bo French. And Tuberville is going back to Alabama. Or Florida. Or wherever he lives.

(You know, the “Arch” Trump undoubtedly uses as a reference point is the one Napoleon built as self-crowned Emperor, to memorialize his conquests. The sight lines of that arch, which makes it second only to the Eiffel Tower as an emblem of Paris, were created later, by Napoleon III. He created the “Paris” we all think of as Paris, by realigning the roads and lowering building heights. Trump III is not following along to make his Arch as memorable as that one.

Trump isn’t Napoleon. And nobody wants his stupid arch, anyway. It continues to be an irony that he threatens the JFK memorial with demolition, but thinks if he gets his vanity projects out of the ground, even Congress can’t reverse them. Too bad he doesn’t realize no one wants the memorials in D.C. torn down, because Congress approved them going up. Which means we, the people, put them up. Nobody wants to preserve something Trump put up. By January, people might actually pay for an opportunity to swing the sledgehammer.)
