It’s like he’s got a PHD in being a douche. Amazing. It takes real skill to be so loathsome and un-self aware.

Don and Don, Jr. is what you get when you add rich privilege to white privilege and compound with inherited wealth and marginal genetic stock.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Junior’s logic: “Because I was the victim of a threat I received in the mail that had the potential to hurt me and my family, it gives me carte blanche to make threats towards a whistleblower who followed all laws and protocols (and enable dangerous and demented people to hurt the whistleblower and his or her family).”

How much is DJTJr. being paid a month to lie for his father?

Everything this man says is ultimately controlled by his father.

What comes to mind for me is the sycophant-laden Cabinet Meeting open to reporters. The number of people is different (a group versus one individual) and the leash is different (a group meeting versus Don Jr. being allowed roam around a bit).

But both cases feature Lackeys and Stockholm-Syndrome-esque serfs.

Wow, what a pitch!

And it’s printed on extra thin paper so it can be used for … other functions.

New books are generally discounted during the first 2-3 weeks of release, it’s to ensure that people buy it now.
