Obeying in advance, or even earlier

 For reasons best known to themselves, Senate Democrats have again chosen Chuck Schumer to lead them and the results are predictable.  Schumer says he's fine with the Leader's dumb and pointless plan to re-name the Gulf of Mexico on one condition:  The Leader must "work with us on an actual plan to lower costs for Americans."

Really, Chuck?  That's your big demand/plea/polite request?  First of all, he doesn't do "actual plans," not even the concept of an idea of a plan, and if he did, it would be something like "make [insert country here] provide free [natural gas/computer chips/cheese] because we do so much for them at a level never seen before."  And second, Chuck, as democracy dies, the cost of cheese will be the least of our problems.

Here are a few things a minority leader with gumption might demand:

1.  Make it clear that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are off the table and out of reach of the two clowns you unlawfully put in charge of saving seventy gatrillion dollars.

2.  Stop the garbage about annexing other countries.  It's not happening and Americans don't care.


3.  Dump Hegseth.  One rapist in the administration is enough.

4.  Be five percent less dumb and racist.  Yes, I'm joking.

5.  Stop blaming Democratic governors for natural disasters in their states.  Yes, I'm joking.

6.  Don't call Supreme Court justices when you need a favor.  That's a job for your attorney general.  It just looks better.

7.  How about a little consistency on Netanyahu, one of your biggest fans?

8.  Close Truth Social.  It's circling the drain anyway, and you don't need it now that Xitter and Faceless are your eager megaphones.

9.  Bite the prenup bullet and divorce her.  No one likes her.

Someone made a joke during Jimmy Carter's funeral.  See if you can figure out who didn't get it.

I hate the poorly educated...

 ...when they insist on electing one another. There's a halfwit running for governor of  Missour i on a promise to burn books outside the governor's mansion if it's the only way to protect children from "vulgar pornographic material."  It's not clear what set him off, probably The Diary of Anne Frank again.  If his flamethrower is out of gas, he is also open to bulldozing or "launching books into outer space," which is certainly creative.  (The flamethrower may displace the AR-15 as America's National Weapon, depending on how high Biden drives the price of gasoline.)    Book burning is nothing new, Gott weiss,  but its mainstreaming marks a new phase in American barbarism.  We know what we mean by Orwellian and Kafkaesque -- perhaps we need a new word:  Bradburian, and not only for the destruction of books and what they represent.  In Fahrenheit 451  Ray Bradbury posited a future where firemen would start fires instead of putti...

Going out of business

 With polls sounding a death knell and red-hats leaving his rallies like they left the oven on, Trump has dimly seen his future.  That's why Trumpworld is holding a sale on all Bibles, gold sneakers (pre- and post-assassination styles), Victory47 cologne ("My eyes!  My eyes!") and the limited-edition Trump diapers: Get a jump on your Christmas shopping and remember who made it possible to say "Merry Christmas" again with a fabulous  Trump Victory Tourbillon watch,  only $100,000.  Three colors, 122 diamonds, only 147 available.  Or a shoddier version for $499 if you're impoverished by Bidenomics.  Profits will not go to the campaign, the website says, and when has Trump ever lied? "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress -- but I repeat myself," said Mark Twain, who died in 1910, so maybe it's always been this way.   Tommy Tuberville,  football's worst mistake, thinks Kamala Harris should drop out of the...

Full disclosure

 With Trump and his silk pajamas in recess, the political story of the day must be  Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,  sharing the story that a worm crawled into his brain, ate some of it and died.  The New York Times says it obtained a deposition from his 2012 divorce case and came across this nugget.  At the time of the parasite's discovery, doctors said he also had mercury poisoning, probably from eating a lot of fish.  In the deposition Kennedy says, "I have short-term memory loss and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me."  At least he doesn't blame the worm on vaccines.  Even before his stalking horse earned the nickname Worm Brain, things were going Trump's way.  His boutique judge  Aileen Cannon  postponed indefinitely the stolen documents case that mean old Jack Smith is waiting to present because she has to study eight pending motions from the defense and she's just stumped by their  "novel and difficult questions." ...
