Donald J. Trump: The baby at every baptism. The bride at every wedding. The corpse at every funeral. The sphincter at every asshole.

I’ve long wondered this myself and the answer I’ve come up with is that yes, this society is collectively stupid and uniformed enough to push that button.

What’s the proper protocol: Dr. Max or Professor Max?

An ass he is. A functioning sphincter he is not.

He’s a cat.
His Royal Majesty is the only appropriate title.
I think it’s going to be a long holiday weekend, with no MM’s until Tuesday when all hell breaks loose. Calm before the storm and all that.
The weather here at the farm is supposed to be stunning all the way through late Sunday when it starts to rain and continues throughout Monday. [sigh]

The worst part about TFG being a fascist is that so many want to follow him. Blind sheep…I do hope they are in the minority when the votes come in next November. As far as his “transgressiveness”? It’s pretty much a given at this point. He is a disgusting traitor to this country who has no business in the Oval Office. Please beat him at the ballot box.

He’s going to bring that guy back and Mexico’s going to pay for it. How can people be this fucking stupid?

For my daily rant about negative partisanship, I’m going to say that it depends on how many people don’t want Biden to have another four years.
It isn’t always about wanting Trump. For many voters, it’s turning a blind eye to who Trump is and what his administration would mean, because they really, really don’t want a Democrat. It’s blind tribal loyalty.

Normalizing.
His speech was at once hilariously deranged, fraught with lies and alarming in its demagoguery. But yeah, there were some Puerto Ricans, Orthodox Jews and Black people there.

Enjoy it while he can. When I lived in VT, summer was the second weekend in August.
