Bonus points if you know the song! Information at the end of the column. I’m thinking we are currently looking at tRump 2.1. He’s obsessed with Greenland – again and again and again – he’s always been obsessed with Putin and Russia. Oh, hell I forgot how he’s setting up his cabinet and half the crappy picks do NOT have to be confirmed by the Senate. And since he likes to stir up so much trouble, so he doesn’t have to worry about anything like Presidenting, and can rage tweet all that his sordid little soul wants. How on EARTH could I forget THAT!
Yes, we are into Trump 2.1. The point 1 gets added because he’s added things to his usual starting chaos. He has brought in his Billionaire Boys Club for his cabinet and none of them know ANYTHING about the jobs they are in. Please, it’s not like they need the money. The chaos for Speaker of the House has restarted and let’s not forget Co-President Muskrat just HAS to jump in on that. Mike Johnson is in a world of trouble. And if they have to go past the January 6 Confirmation Day, MORE chaos. I’ll be the Mango Messiah is rubbing his hands together and cackling, especially since all he had to do was say something, which E-yawn had to jump in mere moments after his twit to say NO. These two are worse than a bunch of kids and that’s not a slap against kids!
The best (or worst) part is that I don’t think he’s going to have anyone who could hold him back and keep him under control. I still think his people are going to need to make rounds of the bathrooms to find the papers he’s stuffed down there. And now, yes, now he CAN show the world all his lovely papers, because absolute immunity, once he swears the oath, of which he will never, unfortunately, fulfill and believe in. We have no idea what Susie will actually be like because we saw very little of her when she was on his campaign team. It’s probably too much to hope that she was be able to quietly shunt aside some of his bullsh*t. Either way, Chief of Staff, that’s not going to be easy just for what it is supposed to DO, let alone adding in blunting, the edges, coping with the Malignant Narcissist. I kinda hope she’s the sane one there, because it’s all going to be liars and thieves and billionaires, with nobody but the Orange Asshole to make decisions because he’s chosen all loyalists and they will do what they want to, which is please him.
Trump 2.2 – That’s when he finally gets sworn in and has some sort of ridiculous Inauguration party. It‘s not HIS money paying for it, after all.
Trump 3.0 – Dictator For A Day and lots of executive orders to do rollbacks, such as cut taxes for the very wealthy again, or chop up all the good things Biden and Kamala did for the country. Go after the “Fake Media” (thanks for caving, ABC). Slap people with lawsuits because he has absolute authority and no one will be able to get away from him. Go after the military. Authorize the military and get the immigration wars started. And wait for the Terrible Twosome to tell him what to cut and who knows what or how it will be done. But (Darth Vader voice) It Will Be Done. What will our country have left? (Sorry, I forgot to tell you this was a rant.)

My fondest wish is for the Bible to burst into flames as soon as he puts his hand on it. If they actually want to have him.swear by something he cares about, he’d be forced to place his hand on Forbes or the WSJ.
I fantasize that the Repugs are in such disarray that Hakeem Jeffries is chosen speaker of the House. Then Trump has a fatal heart attack 30 minutes after he takes the oath of office. Then the stress gives Vance a fatal stroke 30 minutes after that. Presto! President Jeffries for the win!
I second this fantasy!
Ohhhh that would be BRILLIANT!
