Flouting CDC ‘Til The End, White House Still Planning Holiday Parties | Talking Points Memo

“Trump has remained largely behind closed doors since he lost his bid for reelection. He has refused to concede, lodging baseless allegations of voter fraud in an attempt to subvert the results.”

I see him on a metaphoric ice floe. Placed there by the villagers, he is heading off into the arctic darkness, unable to run back because the ice is thin. So all he can do is sit there, yelling and griping, raging at the universe as his ego crumbles. And he brought this all on himself.

Fine.

Let The Masque Of The Red State Death permeate every nook and cranny of that corrupted castle.

And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red State Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.

“It is a longstanding tradition for people to visit and enjoy the cheer and iconic décor of the annual White House Christmas celebrations.”

Yes. Ironic decorations and loads of cheer.

Fun how worked up people are about Newsom and other leaders on the left slipping up here and there, vs. the Republicans who simply make no effort to do the right thing. Somehow hypocrisy, however slight, is a worse moral failing than abject cynicism.

You want fucking holidays; I’ll give you fucking holidays and you can all get sick because who the fuck wants to do this.

Be best!

Well, I hate to say it, but the blatant hypocrisy does make it hard to argue against.

Trump’s position (fuck you and your virus) is consistent if stupid and dangerous.

Let’s just keep this in mind when people on our side try to frame her as some poor Stockholm Stepford Wife.

Just unforgivable.

I tried posting a photo of the rig Barbie was wearing, but couldn’t get them large enough.
This is a good one and I thought maybe @tena @rascal_crone might weigh in on the “outfit”.

Seriously that was no accident. The shooter had to notice the shot, position himself in the right place, set the depth of field to make the horse a bit blurred but visible, and then it had to be cropped by the editors to look like a portrait but get the joke across. These people control the elements in the foreground and background for a living. Epic trolling. They’re probably chucking crockery around in the White House right now.

Trump arranged for his second wife to pose in Playboy, she ultimately refused. Now Melania being who she is, it’s all a matter of how much she is getting paid.

Flouting Public Health Experts…

I suppose that it comes naturally to Melania, as “flouts” is an anagram of “FLOTUS.”

Trump’s butt does seem to have gotten a lot larger and he certainly overdid the tanning…

Melanie looks like she’s preparing to live in Russia. Has the sleigh all packed up with firewood to heat their flat in Moscow when they go into exile? Remember that scene in movie “Doctor Zhivago” where the family is huddled in their apartment in coats shivering?

Putin has made fiction come alive again for all his subjects. Russia now makes nothing anyone would want including fascism, poverty and Trump.
