remember those glorious days when Donny disappeared from public view for a whole week, leaving us to speculate that maybe, at long last, he’d been grimly reaped?

that was fun, wasn’t it? but it wasn’t just fun, it was peaceful. America got to catch its breath and actually relax for a change.

no such luck this weekend, my friends. the Mad King’s firehose of fucknuttery has been turned back on — all the way to eleven — and it’s blasting right in our faces at point-blank range. lucky us.

oh look, it’s some AI slop of Donny tarted up as Colonel Kilgore from Apocalypse Now, declaring war on Chicago. just a perfectly normal president doing perfectly normal stuff, right?

this nightmare fuel is so many things, none of them good.

"Take off that Cavalry hat, you draft dodger.
You didn't earn the right to wear it.
Stolen valor at its worst."

Does trump still have all those National Guardsmen, collecting trash in D.C.? One thing about trump's attitude about the military: it's consistent---and it damned sure doesn't smell like victory, in the morning or otherwise...
