It's really sort of amazing.

While most corrupt politicians would be content to work for the benefit of whoever pays them a fat enough bribe, Trump appears to actually go out of his way to only work for the most foul, loathsome and destructive corporations and industries. It's as if he has a rigid set of negative standards - "you must be this evil to gain my advocacy" - and any industry or corporation that isn't sufficiently evil is turned away.

I’m guessing you think

You don't have the foggiest idea what I think, so don't you fucking dare mansplain it to me.

Yes.

Both before and after.

All of them, real or imagined.

Wow... there's a name I haven't heard in years.

I lived in Denver through most of the 80s and saw lots of live music, so saw her perform... I don't know how many times. She always put on a good show.

RIP

Reminder that Trump isn't carrying out an autocratic coup d'etat in the US by himself.

He has the active support and assistance of the Republican party and their politicians at every step of the way.

Trump is Pol Pot. The Republican party is the Khmer Rouge.

You must be using the All Trans Anime Porn All the Time app.

I just use Firefox for Android and sort by New by default and I don't recall seeing any trans anime porn. Ever.

So by "fresh thinking" he actually means "sycophancy," right?

That seems to be one of the defining traits of the Trump administration - be a malicious, incompetent, self-serving fuck-up, and fire anyone who won't pretend that that's not what you are.

No surprise there - Republicans have hated Wikipedia pretty much from the start, since they require valid attribution and constantly fact check, which means the Republicans can't spin their lies.

Expect to see a lot more of that all around the world.

Trump can hide enough of his caprice and his pettiness and his self-absorption behind emotive rhetoric to fool the MAGAs, but none of that works on an international scale. The rest of the world just sees him, accurately, as a petulant, self-serving asshole and raving lunatic who can't be trusted. Ever. And that's the way they're going to treat him, and the US by extension.
