Good Morning Senator: In case you haven't noticed, Scott Bessant is an idiot and a liar, and at 40 trillion dollars in debt and our former allies cashing in their bonds and refusing to buy anything (and I mean anything ) from the US [Even Burkina Faso refused help because of the strings attached to the "gift"] if you cannot see the writing on the AI bubble of catastrophe, the rest of us can. And the price of beef (which I no longer buy) will soon reach the price of coffee (at about 10 bucks a pound).
So I want you to know, that when you and Trump are gone, I will gleefully join anyone engaged in tearing down the tawdry and self-serving monuments to himself instead of doing something (ANYTHING) for this country.
November is right around the corner, and so is Roy Cooper, your replacement.
As the proven rapist Trump (upheld twice by the Supreme Court!) races to get everything done, anyone who has been involved in construction will of course appreciate that rushing a construction project is the best way to make sure you get a quality product in the end.
I mean, I'm sure if he is allowed to finish the most expensive temporary ballroom ever, I'm sure we will all be happy to see it was built with the same care as was taken to make the reflecting pool the greatest algae free swimming pool ever!
"Boondoggle" was the term used once upon a time, but it seems too innocent for his money and power-sucking machinations. (BTW, it was also used to criticize New Deal projects, so we remember that the twisted misuse of language by reactionaries is nothing new.)
The bonfire of the vanities that the next president should have on day one of their presidency should light the skies along the entire Eastern Seaboard.
Everything ruined by the proven rapist (upheld by the Supreme Court twice!) Trump must be restored to how is was when it represented America, not him. And Congress must pass a law that prevents any future president from naming anything or placing his/her/their name on anything while in office and strengthen the need for Congressional approval before changing anything.
Of, and the new president should sign an executive order stating that from now on all official records will refer to Mar a Largo as Poopy Britches Plaza.
I loathe and despise that orange abomination beyond all known means of measure. Never before in my six decades darkening a small patch of sand in eastern Washington have I harbored such an overwhelming, stunningly noxious and bitter disregard for an entity I have been reassured is a human being.
It’s time to start thinking about the de-enshittification of America. In less than 2.5 years, Pedo47 will be gone. He may believe he can stay in office forever, but with his approval rating now lower than his felon conviction count, that wouldn’t happen even if it weren’t illegal.
In theory, some of the changes he’s inflicted on the country should be easy to undo. After all, Congress never authorized the shuttering of USAID, so reopening won’t require approval from Congress. In practice, though, it will take years, if not decades, to rebuild these agencies. The dedicated civil servants who ran these agencies are gone, taking their expertise and experience with them. They’ve all moved on to other jobs and luring them back will be difficult.
And not just USAID. DOJ is no longer the prestige job many lawyers longed to have on their resumes. Now it’s a collection of shysters and partisan hacks. How long will it take the department to regain the assumption of regularity they used to enjoy with federal judges?
Compared to that, ripping out all of the gold shit and rebuilding the East Wing are the easy jobs.
Just as a pseudo-academic reminder there are 3 levels to what Lord Dom alluded to in the Hed.
Fugly clearly is fucking ugly. Motherfugly is ... you can figure that out on your own.
Wolf ugly is the top level. That's where you wake up, look at the partner you drunkenly took home and "laid with"... and you chew off your arm so as to escape and not wake him/her.
I always thought that term was "Coyote Ugly": heck they even made a movie called "Coyote Ugly" and Ebert even gave it two whole stars. Leann Rimes had a hit record called "Coyote Ugly", and most important of all, i've been hearing the term "Coyote Ugly" in reference to waking up with a partner so, ahem, ugly that you'd chew off your own arm to escape their embrace the way a "coyote" apocraphilly will do to escape from a trap. Been hearing it for 40 years and I have never once ever heard the phrase "Wolf Ugly." Never.
I'm from the eastern states. Sounds like you are not. We've no coyotes anywhere near Pennsyltuckey or many states east, west, north nor south of here. We do have wolves. Hence: Wolf Ugly.
Simply coz you never heard of a thing doesn't mean that thing doesn't exist.
Bullshit. I'm from Pennsylvania and we have lots of coyotes. They even have these horrible, savage "coyote hunts" every February where they pay a bounty for killing the largest ones. These hunts are put on by "sportsmen's" clubs:
I'm surprised that TFG hasn't dressed up the wh staff and security in comic opera guard uniforms and anime maid costumes yet . Nixon tried and failed, but TFG is a thing of vision
We just need to be grateful to the staffers who know where those Vatican-inspired,, ri-glitz-ulas getups ARE but won't give up their location. Suffice to say that we've been substantially spared.
" However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

George Washington's Farewell Address - Saturday, September 17, 1796
We can't restore the East Wing, so why not make the "ballroom" the new press room? The current press briefing room, the Brady Room, is very small, an antiquated seating chart and promotes big news corporations and conglomerates over fair, open and objective journalism.
Grampa Assmouth wants to be “…remembered through the ages for what he did to his country, and the world.” And he absolutely will be. I do wonder if he cares HOW he will be remembered, or just that he be remembered?
On his last day, as he is dragged kicking and screaming out of the bunker, I want him to know preparations are under way to remove every trace of his restorations.
I think he sincerely believes he’ll be remembered as the greatest president in history. First, he’s in a bubble where he only hears what he wants to hear from his fluffer Natalie. Second, look at how he’s plastered his name and face all over DC? That in his mind, is how greatness is determined. Not by changing the course of history or through improving the lives of the American people.
Hell, he’s putting his face and name on the money like a modern day Caesar.
Beautiful post, Dominic!
My letter to Senator Tillis just now:

Anyone talk to anyone who can’t see out of their offices because fugly banners blocking windows?
In other words he’s a narcissistic asshole.

I can't imagine how much of the USA a bonfire of his vanities would consume. It would certainly make the Chicago and Lahaina fires look insignificant.
I loathe and despise that orange abomination beyond all known means of measure. Never before in my six decades darkening a small patch of sand in eastern Washington have I harbored such an overwhelming, stunningly noxious and bitter disregard for an entity I have been reassured is a human being.
Suffice to say that I have my doubts.
Or, as my cousin put it more succinctly "I can't believe I can hate someone this much."

Well that's a post-apocalyptic hellscape. Again, hope he chokes on his own vomit.
Lord Dom, yet another wonderful, insightful post.🙇♂️🙇♂️

M'kay. You win this pointless debate

I bet if he gave Little Marco a grinder monkey outfit, he’d wear it.
I thought he did. Started with shoes.

George Washington's Farewell Address - Saturday, September 17, 1796
All the Senate Republicans should be locked in a room and forced to listen to that on repeat
And lose the key.
"A historical figure remembered through the ages for what he did to his country, and the world."
He will be.
Can we please get to the part wear we scrub everything bearing his name and horrific visage from existence?

Getting to that is going to take fixing this

You know how elections work in the States
At this point the only way out is through
Grampa Assmouth wants to be “…remembered through the ages for what he did to his country, and the world.” And he absolutely will be. I do wonder if he cares HOW he will be remembered, or just that he be remembered?
For most malignant narcissists, negative attention is almost as good as other kinds
On his last day, as he is dragged kicking and screaming out of the bunker, I want him to know preparations are under way to remove every trace of his restorations.
In his solitary confinement cell, a small tv set showing the removal process 24/7.
That would be the cherry on top of the sundae for me
I just want him out
and his enablers out
so we can put the city back the way we found it
and then go on to build the country we're supposed to have
I think he sincerely believes he’ll be remembered as the greatest president in history. First, he’s in a bubble where he only hears what he wants to hear from his fluffer Natalie. Second, look at how he’s plastered his name and face all over DC? That in his mind, is how greatness is determined.

Hell, he’s putting his face and name on the money like a modern day Caesar.
His mind is more like a Caesar salad.
