We really need to change the expression from, "It's all good," to "It's all bad."

I get the idea that he's trying to distract, although I don't think there's that much planning involved. All of these items are pretty bad -- easily "disqualifying" for any Democratic presidential candidate or president. Ever. It's a head scratcher that committing a thousand [fill in the blanks] should somehow soften the importance of any of the others. They'll all pretty bad. It's all bad.

I only skim through the very worst of the news. Transportation outages don't necessarily make the list. But JFC. Fucking Reagan inherited a substandard air traffic control system that routinely had outages. So what did he do when the overworked controllers went on strike? He fired them, and out of the frying pan into the fire. Dipshit Dwumpy doesn't even have that excuse. I figure there are 3 options. 1. Just remove his fucking ass from the oval office, shitting his pants the whole way. Whadda say JD? 25A? You know you want to job. 2. Termination. The old school way. 3. Make sure no one pays attention to anything he & his minions want. With Stephen Miller in jail, that task is much easier.

The Dems never explained to the American people the vital jobs that each agency did. Democrats suck at explaining things.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

I'm a Scot whose family emigrated here when I was a kid - FIRST hated it here, then grew to LOVE it here once I'd worked my azz off, struggling to overcome major trauma (still not 100% there, but....) have my own home I love, multiple rescued fur babies over the years, most of whom are interred within the grounds of my now-heavily wooded half-acre plus. We're very lucky to be protected from most natural weather events and can handle the ice and snow (although my joints bitch and complain a lot). Still, my garden fills me with delight: countless birds singing and the 3 wee feral cat siblings I nurture (so fat now they scarcely give the birds a glance, preferring to laze atop their heated houses all year long). My dogs and last remaining cat are also healthy and happy and we can still afford their healthcare (vital to us). Mortgage is paid off. My SOLE complaint is that we still haven't managed to get rid of junk and gotten rooms fixed the way I'd prefer for 'aging in place'. I LOVE my home. I HATE 'amurrica's racist nazi azzholes', a couple of whom've wormed their way into houses a block away. EVEN a long-term neighbour whose parents I helped for years AND helped her after their deaths has become 'magat' despite being ethnically someone they'd target. Still, I persist and IF we ever decide to leave/sell this home we love, there will be stipulations a to any future occupant. My elderly Aunt lived in Toronto while we were in Scotland but I knew very little about her, sadly and have no one to ask. I loved Montreal on my single visit there. Canada appeals more and more, as do its lovely people. My major problem is that they'll likely not appreciate MY use of 'fuck' to describe donny 2scoops/2dolls ad infinitum. Sigh.

The Sewer Clown economic portion of the White House makes it sound like other countries have sales people that come to America to sell us their goods. NO! That’s not how it works. My last job in New Jersey was servicing a manufacturing company who biggest client was Walmart. Walmart would need, say, 100,000 beach towels for the summer. They’d ask the Mfg Co to present samples for their buyers in Arkansas. Then, once that was decided Mfg Co sent the mock up to China and in a few weeks would get what the finished product would look like and send that to Arkansas for approval and a final buy order was made.

Walmart, Amazon and others are the ones responsible for trade with China. This maximizes their profits greatly. MAGA idiots, stop blaming China here, they are fulfilling what we ask of them. 🙄🙄🙄

The Toddler King is so wrapped up in his terminal fog that he doesn't get how the World despises him. He and all of his "trinkets" are going to end up in the dustbin of history. The Real World is going to stomp his ass.

All of the garbage that support him or are in his "cabinet" are going to be forever forgotten. We the people don't need any of them.

Oh, he KNOWS how much we hate him, which is why he is firing all the Generals and Admirals that of course see him as a traitor and danger. The youngster G.I.'s don't know shit and will be afraid to refuse attacking fellow Americans who peacefully protest.

I hope they are forgotten only if they are ALL in prison - like Nixon's cabinet and toadies.

And while this nattering nabob* of incoherence goes on and on, his offspring seem to be making out like bandits -- except "bandits" isn't the right word because bandits don't make deals.

*Hat tip to the late, unlamented Spiro Agnew.

Good to see "nattering nabob" rise from obscurity. It's always been a great phrase.

"Nattering nabobs of negativism" is the full quote.

Ah, yes -- good ol' Spiro Agnew.... That was how he described the media. He was awful, but I'll take nattering nabobs of negativism over Enemy of the People any day

Along with that instant classic from Kim (N.Korea) - dotard. I always loved saying Dumbass Dotard Trump. Maybe it'll make a comeback?

Actually, I think the phrase was coined by Agnew's speechwriter, the late William Safire. Safire went on to be a columnist for the New York Times.

Jeff, I’ll keep this shirt. People connect the dots.. Donald gets rid of 4 Generals, Donald intensifies surveillance on Greenland.. this is prepping for an invasion of Greenland with no Generals to voice their dissent.. wake up folks.
