Told you so

Friday, February 8, 2019

Almost two weeks ago (ages in Trump time), I observed that although Trump’s followers would never admit they were scammed, they’d be more than willing to admit that they’ve been betrayed. Betrayal is, of course, exactly what happens to you after you’ve been conned, but it’s easy to talk yourself into believing there’s a distinction, […]

He ain’t leaving

Thursday, February 7, 2019

Here’s an article titled SNDY May Soon Indict Trump’s Kids to Force Him Out of Office.  I’m not disagreeing that there’s a real possibility that Erik and Don, Jr., even (oh please God!) Ivanka, will soon be indicted. I just don’t buy into the “force him out of office” logic. We all know enough about Trump […]

Count your blessings, always look on the bright side of life, and every time it rains it rains pennies from heaven

Monday, February 4, 2019

The fact that Trump spends all his time watching television instead of working is once again in the news.  What I can’t understand is that people seem to think it’s a bad thing that the genius spends so little time presiding. As I’ve pointed out every Good Friday since this blog started, one should always look on […]

We haven’t been conned, we’ve been betrayed

Sunday, January 27, 2019

There’s an oft repeated trope in the left wing blogosphere that, to the right, conservatism can never fail, it can only be failed. I’d like to suggest a sort of corollary.  In the past few days a number of right wing loonies have attacked Trump’s cave on his wall. Ann Coulter is, yet again, one of […]

Gaming impeachment

Friday, January 18, 2019

It seems like years ago that a new Congresswoman (was it coincidental she was a person of color) was savaged for saying that Individual-1 should be impeached. Given the disclosures of the past few days, and the near certainty that even more will come out in the near future, it has now become respectable for […]

Some speculation

Tuesday, January 8, 2019

I’ve been thinking a bit about Individual-1’s threats to declare a national emergency so he can build his wall. I’m not 100% wedded to this idea, but It occurs to me that it is a way for him to declare victory while essentially preserving the status quo. The reality is that any such declaration would […]

An anniversary

Sunday, January 6, 2019

Another snippet from my journal. One year ago today Individual-1 pronounced himself a “very stable genius”. It seems so long ago.

Lest we forget

Wednesday, January 2, 2019

I have mentioned previously, I think, that I’m keeping a journal of sorts, of extremely doubtful literary merit. Every day I try to document the atrocities so far as Individual-1 is concerned. The app I use automatically shows you your entries from one year ago, two years ago, etc., so I am constantly reminded of […]

Bone spur reflections

Wednesday, December 26, 2018

I had thought of making this yet another modest proposal, but, for reasons I’ll get to, I’ve rejected that approach. Anyone with half a brain has been morally certain that Trump’s bone spur draft exemption was a fraud, but today we have substantial evidenceto back that up. I was going to propose that the Democrats start […]

Can’t stop laughing at this

Friday, December 21, 2018

I came across this picture when I followed a twitter link. As I’ve said before, I don’t know how to embed tweets, and I humbly apogize for my inability to give credit to the brilliant mind that put this together. Everytime I look at it I laugh.
