Funny how the Court that once pretended to revere “checks and balances” now treats the Constitution like a permission slip for one man’s tantrums. If they let Trump fire anyone, anytime, for any reason, we can skip the pretense and just staff the government with contestants from The Apprentice.

And relying on Brett Kavanaugh to safeguard the economy is like trusting a frat house smoke alarm. You hope it works, but you know exactly why it shouldn’t.

Blessed be the voters who recognize authoritarian cosplay before the credits roll. The rest are too busy clapping while the fuse burns down.

"And what happens if the Treasury loses the password?"

If they lose the login id as well, we will be way beyond incompetence.

Pedo’s Oval Office rant about affordability can be summed up in two sentences:

1) it’s all a hoax and our economy has never been better.

2) it’s all Biden’s fault.

I think it should be easier to fire the fucking President. From office. Into the sun. Whatever.

"Does he sincerely think his voters are so stupid they do not notice the price of coffee is up like 50-something percent?"

In a word, YES.

(Takes a quick look at social media and how many rightwingers are saying, “prices have never been lower”)

Well, he’s not wrong. Unless they’re all bots.

Rip off the American people like that, and then the fun for fascists really begins. Prison for all of these wanton criminals, never let up until they are indicted, tried, and convicted, using the fastest legal path available.

Odd that DickintheHead mentioned soccer.

Some things I like about it. Dunno what. Weird.

He does and for good reason: They are that stupid. Or they simply don't care.

Maybe I misunderstood something, but low interest rates do help consumers with credit card debt because the monthly interest rate is coupled to the prime rate plus a certain number of percentage points. Their monthly interest is lower, and they can pay off balances faster. (Guess how I know this.) Who low interest rates hurt is the mom and pop savings account holders who get interest payments on their deposits.

OT question: Once we're back in control, can we break up Skydance/Paramount, on the grounds that the merger was never properly vetted, and that the studio paid an obvious bribe to Trump?

Maybe after they see what we do to everyone in the Chump administration, they'll self-unmerge.
