"The worst part is the many, many years it will take for our allies that he alienated to ever trust this country again."

They will be and will remain deeply and justifiably suspicious of a country and people such as ours.

"and then their guy murdered millions of people"

Yup. With a big, fat boatload of aiders and abetters. The horrendous "ordinary men [and women]" who went along, encouraged by their action or inaction, and participated. Partners in crime. Make Germany great again.

Twain may not have said or written it, but that phrase about history not repeating itself but sure echoing a lot seems applicable.

It's generally ignored.

A key element of Republican tax cut gifts to the oligarchs involves gutting enforcement.

Trump's sure got his werk cut out for him after Co-President Musk and Vice President Ramaswamy took a gigantic dump on the MAGAts for being too lazy, too poorly educated, and too effin stoopid to do much more than pick their noses. And who's better? Foreign workers! Gotta love this one all over town.

Leon's doing his part. Time for his co-president in waiting to reassure the MAGAts, "Why, nooooo, he doesn't mean you."

You've heard the terms, MAGAts, now do what you do so well: ask no questions and obey.

A successful democratic system really cries out for a well-educated and -informed electorate equipped with critical thinking skills.

We don't have that in this country.

Upton, however, told The Mercury News that he had no plans to inter his cremated remains in the sunken hull of the Utah, an honor available to the crew members who survived the sinking. "I got off there once," he told the newspaper. "I'm not going back."

" ... like a woman talking."

Oooooooh, bad. No! Baa ... baaa ... BAAAAAAAAD!.

What's the big skeleton in this beauty's closet?

Such a nutzi is our jumping and jiving very own jerk-in-a-box, co-president-in-waiting Leon.

"Rubes come, hicks go, but they're all still yokels."

Assad skedaddled from Syria and left a lot of folks holding the bag. One of them is Tulsi Gabbard, who may be even too much for some MAGAts (which includes Trump's cooperating pols in Congress) to stomach. Who draws the short straw to defend her?

When Trump comes up with a name for a job, the question to be asked is not "What are this person's qualifications?" That's a second question. The real question is, "What disqualifications are involved?" These are all crony, mental casting couch, pay-off and sad dominance decisions. No real qualifications for the stated job at hand are needed or actually required.

Pathological liar, money obsessed, convicted felon and sex pest won't pay his bills? Shocker. This fat mook has always been a cheap deadbeat. That and terrible decision making rank high in the Orange Julius's miserable toolbox.

Anyhoo, if Trump's so skint he can't pay Grand Rapids what he owes, perhaps Co-President in Waiting Leon could cough it up.

The Beatitudes are unrelated to Christianity, other than as an antithetical, to its twisted MAGA iteration.
Merry Christmas.

[State Senator Jason] Brodeur said Trump "has built the most beautiful buildings and properties on planet Earth" and he thought "it was time for America's Phoenix to have his library done as he envisions it, without input from a county or city government," if he were to decide to locate it in Florida.

The voles are eating the nuts! The rats are eating the voles! The cats are eating the rats! They're coming for us!

Vice President to the Co-Presidents To Be

So you've entered the man's mind. A gift: Seriously, you'd be better off tending to your own overwrought and overheated weedpatch. Merry Christmas.

Ever notice how liberals often reserve their mockery for Christianity while avoiding the traditions of other religions?

Ever notice how the religions that come in for deep criticism (yea, even in the form of satire and ridicule) are those whose manipulators and manipulated just can't leave other people alone and are often downright threatening about it. Here, the two largest Abrahamic outfits deserve special mention.

The Clusterfookery Factory up and running while co-president in the wings Trump yammers about reuniting Gondwanaland. Too funny.
