"Home-growns are next. ... You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough." -- Trump to Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele yesterday, referring to Bukele's CECOT maximum-security prison Translation: If I get away with flouting SCOTUS, which I will, I'm going after my enemies next.

The question answers itself.

Popped up just now in my Facebook memories. I came up with this silliness one morning while sitting on my porch as my town's trash trucks were making their weekly rounds; I'm guessing this was sometime just after the 2016 election that gave us Trump in the first place. I still find it amusing.

It's nothing short of amazing how, after 50+ years of producing "Doonesbury," creator Garry Trudeau still regularly knocks one straight out of the park. Here's today's homer, featuring buddies and Gulf War vets Ray, who's bringing over the beers, and B.D., who lost a leg to an IED during the war.

For any other Zevon heads who might be out there. I read every word of this like it was good red wine I was drinking. I honestly hated for it to end, this unflinching glimpse into this particularly wild and wooly bit of this particular wild little world.

I call bullshit. The reactionary fat fuck either panicked that he was getting shellacked by even usually sympathetic media over the market crash, or else he's doing this start-stop madness to literally manipulate the market, with insiders riding the rollercoaster to massive new wealth.

The WPO "Doonesbury" comics page paired these two quotes. Worth sharing: "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!" -- Trump post (probably Truth Social) "America will be his seventh bankruptcy." -- small business owner, on Trump

The Supreme Court puckered up today & not only kissed Trump's fat ass, but also more of our rights goodbye as well. When the highest court in the land, in a 5-4 decision split almost exactly as you might guess, turns its back on due process, how are we a country that still embraces the rule of law?

So, No. 45 has now been overtaken as the worst U.S. president in history, by No. 47.

Colbert, commenting last night on Trump enacting tariffs the day before: "The Down Jones nosedived 1,700 points (today), joining the S&P and Nasdaq in having their biggest drops since 2020. So, the worst day for our economy since COVID. Just a reminder that this time, (Trump's) the disease."

Welcome to the new America, where simply scrolling through pretty much anything is now doom-scrolling.

Better and better, and worse and worse. I'm now rooting for every other country, former allies AND foes, against us, even if it kills me. And it damn well might.

"Roughly $1.7 trillion was erased from the S&P 500 at the start of US trading on Thursday amid worries" Trump’s "sweeping new round of tariffs could plunge the economy into a recession." - Bloomberg.com Just a little pinch of discomfort, right? No worries, cuz who wanted to get to retire anyway?

Coffee prices are abt to spike, HARD, thanks to Trump's isolationist economic "liberation." But no doubt a wave of entrepreneurs will rise to the challenge, launching many large-scale coffee farms to meet demand, incompatible U.S. growing climates be damned. Idiots. We are ruled by fucking idiots.

Why does this shit even surprise me anymore? Laura Fucking Loomer as new unofficial White House adviser just proves it: Trump can always, ALWAYS, find a way to best his previous outpouring of stupid.

Ridiculous what people can get up to when they could instead be reading their Bible or pressing wildflowers into bookmarks, isn't it? #BackOnXCuzFuckElmo #SorryNotSorry

My hometown. Franklin Graham, who lives at the OTHER end of N.C., is an unmitigated prick, & the furthest thing from any definition of a Christian, unless you count Christian nationalism as the modern answer to the question of WWJD. In which case, you are also an unmitigated prick. You're welcome.
