The Trump Follies

Some might say every day but I would say maybe every three days or so I see a strange Trump headline.  It's totally random and without reason.  One day he might outlaw Smokey the Bear.  He might rename a bridge after Melania or build an ICE center in the Grand Canyon.  It could be whatever.  He might wake up one morning and decide the American Triangle is a more fitting name than the Bermuda Triangle.  I've taken some editorial license here but Junior ICE agents might be a real thing.  So now the latest blurb I've seen is the FBI raids the Maryland home of former National Security Advisor John Bolton who served under Trump the first time.  Many times now I just read the headline and don't delve much into the story.  I had thought now that we're into Trump's second and hopefully final term the weirdness would peter out after awhile and we could return to normal governing but no.  The current surreal landscape of American politics.  Like Dali applied to Trump.  It's an art form.

  1. Lots of shrimp that may have Cesium-137 in it. Common product of nuclear bombs, also used (carefully) in some medical applications.
    IMO, they should run an ad like Big Pharma does - do not ingest this product if you want to be around next week.

  2. Jimmy Dore says if you have cancer what with the price of radiation treatments go for it. Put some on the BBQ.

  3. So apparently John Bolton called Trump a "Putin loving moron" in a book. Grounds enough for Trump to sic the FBI on him. Question: When the FBI raids your home at 5AM do you have to get up or can you go back to bed?

    1. I'm usually up by then, but the Mrs. would give them a loud lecture. Have you figured out Trump's problem?

    2. Him and Diddy are case studies. I think Trump is a constellation of mental disorders. You can start with malignant narcissism and end with penis envy. The spectrum.

  5. That's what I don't get. He doesn't even have the intelligence or gravitas to be some type of apex leader. He doesn't merit worship if one were to worship someone. The cult of the doofus. It's beyond me.

  6. Makes me think of the old time snake oil salesmen - pull into town with a painted wagon and sell Female Youth Elixir to old ladies. 99% vodka,
    1% mint and green coloring. He would sell out and they would feel much younger.

  7. Fired the general in charge of intel. They found that Iran was set back a couple months by the blockbuster bombs. Which contradicted Trump's assessment that everything was totally destroyed. I wonder if he still get his intel briefings in stick figure cartoons?

  9. If Vance becomes the next president longer.

    Caught the Hitchcock classic "North by Northwest" last night on TV. Got it midway through so didn't understand it. Like watching a Columbo episode not from the beginning. Anyway didn't Trump want his image on Mount Rushmore?

  13. More weird Trump news today. Wants to re-investigate Chris Christie over Bridgegate. Wants to end cashless bail and militarize another Democrat led city over crime. Have we reached the apex of strangeness yet or is there more to go? Even though Tricky Dick is dead maybe we can take another look at Watergate.

    1. Yes. Well I would think not having to pay astronomical medical bills for starters. Conservatives still think astronomical medical bills are better than government run health insurance because hey at least it's not communism.
