T. and empathy
No, I'm not crying. Take those onions out of here.
A 70-degree day, the man said. It must have been significantly colder across the river in Arlington, because Trump was dressed like snow was predicted.
No wonder his office is so hot that people pass out.
I'm not sure why anybody has to make a speech on Veterans Day. I watched the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in London and marveled at its dignity. After the march past of veterans and military, at precisely 11 am a bugler played "The Last Post" followed by two minutes of silence. True silence -- no sound but a couple of toddlers in the crowd. Then the king and the prime minister laid their wreaths and it was over. What is there to say? People don't want to hear boasts about veterans even if they're true, which they aren't. They want to be left alone to remember the dead. It's in the name.
There are 364 days left for the Felon in Chief to fill the airwaves and the internet with his signature blend of incoherent noise. Today, as the Democrats on the Oversight Committee released some flavorsome Epstein emails he responded with familiar tropes and a new out-of-ass figure on how much they cost the "Country":
Just to highlight the abysmally low intelligence of this administration/mob, Sean Duffy is promising to fire air traffic controllers who didn't report for work just because they weren't getting paid. ATCs were scarce before the Trump shutdown, so let's reduce their numbers and increase the workload for the rest. Smartness, yes? Would someone tell him how long it takes to train an air traffic controller? It's not a job you master in two weeks, like hosting a show on Fox News. Duffy has some faint inkling of what's involved in juggling dozens of planes carrying thousands of people, because he told C-SPAN, "I can't guarantee your safety." What is your job again? Same as everyone else in this regime: vengeance.
Trump 47 has been notably short on hate rallies but that could change. His keepers want to send him on tour to lie about "affordability," his new favorite word and one he thinks he invented. Everyone who has been inside a grocery store in the last year knows it's bullshit but they're counting on his supposed communication skills and charisma to convince them to believe him, not their own eyes and food budgets. This could be interesting, as he can barely remain conscious in a comfortable chair, but who am I to complain? I'm sure the most historically ignorant human of the century is unfamiliar with what happened to Woodrow Wilson as he traveled the country for his League of Nations in 1919. Load him onto the plane and don't forget the merch.
Speaking of grift, can you guess who has a campaign fund although ineligible for a third term and is fundraising off Zohran Mamdani's victory in New York? Oh, you can. "This isn't just for everyone. YOU qualified because your profile proves you HEAVILY DESPISE dangerous Communists like Zohran Mamdani..." and that you have an active credit card. No wonder he didn't have time for a cheery HAPPY VETERANS DAY! post yesterday.
Speaking of tone deafness, three days after Dick Cheney's death Tucker Carlson was tickling Megyn Kelly with jokes ("He raised a very repulsive daughter...If I had a daughter like Liz Cheney I don't believe in suicide but I would consider it"). Today at some event with Brainworm Bob, J.D. Vance brought the ha-ha ("You can have a president who delegates or you can have president who has no trust in their vice president [cough] Kamala Harris [cough]"). I didn't like Cheney but you know what? I like these two vaudeville acts less. They had a green shit if people showed insufficient sorrow over the death of professional bigot Charlie Kirk. Jimmy Kimmel was temporarily silenced after making a joke not about Kirk but about Trump's response to it, quickly changing the subject to how his bulldozers were grabbing the White House by the pussy. If you imitate a human, you still have a chance to become one.
