I know you are but what am I?

 We might as well organize a National Day of Name-calling.  Go on social media or your favorite news channel and get it out there, like people responding to Howard Beale's entreaty to open the window and yell.  (And why don't news broadcasts feature world clocks anymore?  I miss that.)

Name-calling has a long history and this may be its golden age.  We're surrounded by people who can only express themselves in the language of denigration.  For instance:

Nancy Mace is known by the job title "representative" but the voters of the South Carolina First who keep electing her may well wonder who she represents.  She has used her position to make a soulful floor speech about being sexually abused by an ex-lover and to police the Capitol bathrooms, but she is tired of being pestered by people with problems.  She blew off a townhall convened by Lowcountry Accountability Alliance, insisting it was organized by "left-wing extremists" whose "BS excuses" are keeping her office from dealing with (unspecified) "real problems."  "Ugly," "nasty" and "hateful" were other terms she used.  Also "evil.  Completely evil."  I'm not sure this is the right job for her.

One of the more entertaining feuds right now involves The Leader's economic genius Peter Navarro and sometime co-Leader Elon Musk.  Musk has "stepped back" (the same phrase used about Prince Andrew) from being in the nation's face 24/7, but he bought Twitter so he could kibbitz constantly about things outside his area of expertise, if any.  After Navarro described him as "not a car manufacturer, he's a car assembler" he got the storm of abuse he should have anticipated:  "Navarro is truly a moron."  "Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks."  In the only non-trite bit of invective he calls him "Peter Retarrdo."  Last week the Boer went after Navarro because The Leader's tariffs cost him $18 billion just on Tesla stock.  This was Navarro's fault because he went to Harvard.  "A PhD in Econ from Harvard is a bad thing, not a good thing.  Results in the ego/brains >>1 problem."  "He ain't built shit."  I almost wish I had a Xitter account so I could enjoy this Dorothy Parker-level wit every day."

You can't say Navarro hasn't earned it, if not for daring to criticize Tesla.  He dropped in on Laura Ingraham to assure Fox's core audience of pensioners that everything is fine, even quoting from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ("Don't panic").  When she asked about the coming bounty of American manufacturing ("Are we going to make iPhones in the US?") he assured her, "We're going to be able to do it through more automation and there's going to be plenty of jobs for robots, plenty of jobs for humans."  They're always thinking of us and the robots, if not in that order.  Of course the robots won't object to working for Chinese Apple-factory wages.

Dagen McDowell of Fox Business is apparently another renowned epithet maker and she has issues with Navarro and "his" tariffs.  Weirdly, she called the formula "reciprocal trade girl math" and then corrected herself:  "I'm going to call it Navarro math," lest she even by implication impugn The Leader's stunning manliness.  I guess she caught a glimpse of this:

Yes, masculinity is in crisis and only a 104% tariff on Chinese imports will fix it.  Jesse is such a man's man he addresses male flight attendants as "Oh, stewardess!" and probably snaps his fingers (after checking the cockpit -- not flight deck -- to make sure white men with wedding rings are flying the plane).  If you ever feel tempted to eat soup, drink through a straw or wish another man a happy birthday, check with Jessie -- I mean Jesse -- first.

It appears that The Leader's excess of testosterone is about to merge with his fentanyl obsession.  All of Kristi Noem's strenuous cosplay has not stemmed the drug traffic at the southern border, so plans are afoot for launching drones into Mexico as if it were Yemen.  The Leader likes drones because they can't result in American casualties for him to ignore.  What can you expect of a country that has a woman in charge?  She'll be thanking him with tears in her eyes, calling him "Senor."

How low will The Leader go in his pissing contest with Governor Janet Mills?  The Agriculture Department is trying to deny federal funds to Maine for school lunches.  Evidently they're no longer taking calls from Susan Collins, so the state is suing.  Standing on principle is hard on everyone in this kakistocracy.

With a dazzling display of combined buck-passing and caving to pressure, the National Park Service restored Harriet Tubman to its webpage on the Underground Railroad.  "Changes...were made without approval from NPS leadership nor Department leadership," said a spokeswoman, employing the tell-tale passive voice.  ("Mistakes were made.")  Anyway, complain loud enough and sometimes they reverse themselves.  Note should be taken.

In case you didn't catch The Benny Show or you'd rather catch Ebola, Russian asset Benny Johnson led the attack we expected when Amy Coney Barrett dissented from the SCOTUS decision that The Leader can of course use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport whoever he wants to the Trumplag in El Salvador.  "Five justices who are men voted in favor of the law...and four women voted their feelings...So Amy Coney Barrett, who I think has like seven kids, two of them are adopted from Haiti...is voting in favor of the terrorists...she is a repulsive lizard.  You can see it.  Look at the way she looked at Trump.  Sickening.  Sickening.  So ungrateful, so despicable, spitting in the face of the Constitution, our movement, of the people who fought to get her on the Supreme Court."  A repulsive lizard?  Really, Benny?  That sounds like your feelings.  If one man had voted with "the women" and The Leader was forced to ignore yet another court, Benny would be spitting teeth.  (Scroll down the JoeMyGod article to see why Benny thinks Lindsey Graham is hawt.)

"Amy Commie Barrett."  That's how it's done.
