I think I have never liked anyone less than Donald Trump. He has no redeeming qualities that I can identify. And that flummoxes me in light of his fan/voter support that seems to ignore the facts of the matter in light of some mysterious (to me) source of appeal. I do not comprehend this at all. I do gravity checks all the time.

If this is a 1%er’s first sit down with 🍊, I’m curious about their tolerance threshold for “fucking moron”. Or will they just tune out because, you know, money.

Gee, I wonder if we can buy him off and send him to some other planet. I'm sure Musk could arrange it. Wait, what?! Musk's WHAT blew up in space today???

Hope springs eternal. Let's hope Sir Vancelot is in that capsule. And the tour guide Musk.

I believe Putin did likewise if western companies wish to meet with him. Trump would not have been smart enough to think of the grift first so I gather he learned from his senior advisor Putin.

Sorry Joe, but Trump learned from Dad. You know, the guy that never loved Trump and yet whose approval Trump seeks even to this day.

I can't imagine the feeling of sitting across a table from that cretin who fancies himself a Mob Boss; like his mentor Roy Cohn taught him to think. Leaving aside his much reported BO, I don't think it would be possible to keep food down.

If he were bragging, he'd say, "I'm the biggest, best grifter in the history of grifting, the likes of which no one in the world has ever seen," and this time, he might actually be telling the truth!

Cup uh Spit

The "problem" with Democracy is majority rules. Until that changes, all of this brilliant sophistry doesn't add up, as Missourian Harry Truman said, "Ain't worth a cup uh spit." Where we must work is in voting. And, like John Dillinger said, when asked why he robbed banks, "'Cause that's where the money is." We must get voters out. I think many folks have changed their allegiances to Pumpkinhead and these wildly illogical cukcoos. Pumpkinhead and Muskova have so deeply damaged America that the next round of voting may reflect this reorientation of our American political Rubik's Cube. Pumpkinhead is not so deranged that removal under the 25th Amendment or impeachment will occur... but it's getting close. Please subscribe to my substack: https://substack.com/@eb0novelist

It was Willie Sutton who made the statement about robbing banks. And his flunkies would never 25th Amendment him.
