I have put up thousands of clips of Donald Trump over the ten years he’s been polluting our politics. But never, and I mean never, have I seen him begin to fall asleep while somebody is praising him. He lives for praise from his sychophants, public praise, in front of a camera and broadcast out to all his sheeple. The man comes alive when the red light flicks on over the camera. But watch this clip and pay strict attention to when the :04 and :05 marks are hit because that’s when you’ll see Trump’s head dip a bit and then pop back up.

This is hilarious and would be just that, but all the hilarity stops when you realize the power that Trump wields. Then it goes from hilarity into alarming in a heartbeat. Trump did wake up from his micro snooze to utter this lie.
He may never open the government again just so we can continue staying in an economic data black out and assert whatever he wants.
Too bad for him that people will always recognize high prices and a weak labor market. https://t.co/jqB5ZMEtlh

Shakespeare said in Hamlet, “There’s nothing either good nor bad but thinking makes it so.” Unfortunately, it’s going to be impossible for the yous and mes to think our way out of the checkout line. We need money or a piece of plastic that works. Trump can go on with his self-delusion about the “greatest economy ever” but the rest of us cannot. Here’s another howlingly funny clip — or would be, if you didn’t know what the repercussions were.

“It’s all Biden’s fault.” Oh yes, it’s all Biden’s fault. Biden made the decision to screw around with tariffs, which made President Xi say, “We’ll buy soybeans from Argentina,” which then went full circle when Trump bailed Argentina out — having the United States lose on two fronts, not just the one. But yes, this is all Biden’s fault.
What I wonder is how many years into his second term will Trump demonize Biden? Up until the last day? I think so. I really do. All Trump knows how to do is blame and incite. So it stands to reason that Biden will be the scapegoat for many months to come.
The truth is…it isn’t about what baby huey does or says…like you and Pink Floyd said…ten years have got behind us…we know exactly what he’ll do and say…nazi shit. What is unclear is how much do the racist, half educated citizens have to suffer to change course? Final exam for humanity. Pass or FAIL. The jury’s out. Everyday the evil current grows stronger, and resistance is now a daily struggle to keep hope alive. That being said, I’m listening to the Stones sing Sweet Virginia, that ends each chorus with you got to scrape that shit right off your shoes. So phucking true.
