During the time Nixon and Kissinger were burning away lives seeking an "honorable" way out of the Vietnam War it was a common occurrence for that administration's flunkies to claim the US antiwar movement was funded - as in controlled - by "North Vietnamese communists." It wasn't, but at least in those days there were real people running around proclaiming they were communists. This latest Trump ploy to whip up the rubes is like eavesdropping on the writers' story discussions for Idiocracy.

It's like being around a gaggle of snarky middle school boys en route to perpetual goondom who think they're cool because nobody will associate with them.

The US staged a coup in Venezuela, replacing the authoritarian head of an authoritarian government with a new authoritarian head of the same authoritarian government. Along the way, the US designated itself the recipient of the revenues from the country's oil industry. This involves assuming certain responsibilities which are simply beyond the talents/abilities of the current American maladministration (which specializes in ensh#ittification and theft). Too bad bad for the poor Venezuelans, laboring under rapacious, repressive homegrown and foreign regimes.

"The Pirate is in jail."

I realize Trump has trashed the WH and ain't done yet, but being in the Executive Mansion is not synonymous with being "in jail."

What is Dystopia without gas spouts, crumbling vinyl, and clouds of gunpowder smoke rolling through the place?

I think "jaded" werks. I write, smiling as Clio might have late in the game, lol.

Pirates seldom return to fix-up a ship after they've done looting it.

"According to Nansen, 988,905 buyers of the $TRUMP memecoin lost a total of $3.81 billion. The coin's value dipped 97 percent from its highest price, dropping from $75.35 to just $1.76 as of Friday, the Times reported."

Next time a thirty-four times convicted felon (financial crimes), adjudicated sexual abuser, children's cancer charity ripper offer, six-time bankrupt so incompetent he failed repeatedly at operating gambling dens approaches you, asking for you to give him your money for an investment that's golden because he says so ...

TWINPAC - I'm afraid that's as much of a "state fair" as you'll get from a misanthrope who thinks the word "pet" is synonymous with a stuffed animal.

Bottom line: Steve Miller says you can withdraw your tongue from Trump's Depends in ... three ... two ... one ... now!

Republican Party rank-and-file grunts who haven't already figured it out need to deal with their membership in a wholly-owned subsidiary of a criminalistic organization.

I see the situation with the GOP as not at all unlike rge scenes in Martin Scorcese's Goodfellas when Paulie Cicero "saves" tapped-out Sonny Bunz's "Bamboo Lounge" by busting it out and, finally, torching the joint.

"Everything Trump touches dies."

Thanks to Rick Wilson for that pithy, all too accurate observation. And so it is now, with the US soccer team and one player in particular: Folarin Balogun
.
No matter what happens in the games for the remainder of the competition, anything US players might accomplish from this point on comes with an asterisk explaining some nefarious goings on between FIFA's odious Gianni Infantino and the corrupt Trump. Same for whatever Balogun might do, b3cause that, too, must now labor under the burden of that explanatory asterisk.

Trump's ongoing ensh#ttification of America gathers steam.

Thanks, MAGAts, you built this.

The rot of the Dixie fixation for the GOP marked Nixon's route to the WH in 1968; Reagan really went to town with the yahoos. It's a rush to court the smug, hateful and most easily played, of which Dixie and those who "share the culture" garner and continue to hold so many dubious trophies.

Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, I've got a few worthless whattayacallems - bitcoins, memecoims, pretend money - left over that the rubes forgot to buy up. Did the guy we lost have any? Rapid passcode heaven, someone somewhere told me or someone sometime. Hey, you look like a smart Republican male-ish patriot! Come on, gimme, gimme, gimme. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Oh, right, almost forgot: Some loser standing out in a cornfield in Iowa wants to know my favorite sport. Gawd, I love the educated! Why, -------- and cornholing, of course!?! Send cash. DJT
