TrumPutin in his latest emergence from his gilded pig sty addressed an adoring crowd and told them, among other things, that Mitch McConnell is a "dumb son-of-a-bitch." Though he accidentally stumbled across a valid description of the minority leader, it was, of course, for the wrong reason. According to His Orangeness, Mitch is a dumb SOB because he does not genuflect before the stable genius who leads the GOP. Mitch will vote for him if he has to, but that is not good enough for the stable genius. Mitch will not acknowledge the Big Lie. He will not deign to defer to the Orange Blob and his quest to strangle the GOP in his stupidity and arrogance. So TrumPutin rails against Mitch and thrills his base. In his stream of unconsciousness, TrumPutin made sure he identified Mitch as the dumb son-of-a-bitch he was referring to, and that made his thoughts easier for the base to digest. If he had simply railed against a dumb son-of-a-bitch, or those sons-of-bitches, then it might have confused the brainiacs in his base, and they might have thought he was referring to Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Kevin "Joseph" McCarthy, Josh Hawley, Matt Gaetz, or any of TrumPutin's panderers in the GOP. And so the stable genius uses his eloquence to further debase the base. And you thought that was not possible. Make America Whatever, y'all.

Lies are Truth, Only without Truth
TrumPutin thinks he won. It's a lie, of course. A delusion, a hallucination. He didn't win. He lost the popular vote. Again. But he lies as a reflex to sound. It's a tic he can't control, and because he has no brains, no shame, no self-control, morals, or conscience, he can lie and then, if he's confronted with a lie that he can't defend, he'll lie about lying and call his critics liars. It's not possible to know for sure if he believes his lies. He may not believe he's lying, or understand anything about the truth, but that's not the same thing. His enablers, supporters, and apologists, though, believe what they tell themselves. Lindsey Graham believes the lies because he knows if he doesn't, he'll never get another free round of golf at a TrumPutin taxpayer-funded course. Ted Cruz believes the lies because he's Ted Cruz, and he knows if he doesn't kiss TrumPutin's large ass, then the Big Orange won't stop saying that Cruz's father assassinated John Kennedy, or that Cruz's wife is too ugly to be first lady. Cruz is defending his family the only way he knows how. And all the others believe the lies they tell on TrumPutin's behalf because ... well, they've sold themselves to the lowest bidder, and now must align directly or else face the wrath of a two-year old. Make America Whatever, yeah ...
Building Infrastructure Weeks
Republicans are aghast at President Biden's plans to upgrade the country's infrastructure. "Too expensive," they cry. "It's not infrastructure," they cry. "It costs too much," they cry. The Republicans want to return to the glory days of TrumPutin's regime, when the emphasis was not on building infrastructure, but on building infrastructure weeks. "Infrastructure Weeks weren't expensive," they cry. "Talking about infrastructure is infrastructure," they cry. "Infrastructure Weeks didn't cost much," they cry. TrumPutin had several hundred Infrastructure Weeks a week, and for him a week without an Infrastructure Week was like a week without golf with Lindsey Graham. "Lindsey always let me win," TrumPutin was fond of saying, while tousling the senator's thinning hair. And an Infrastructure Week never threatened to jeopardize the tax breaks that the Republicans handed their CEO friends. Because the bottom line for Republicans is that an effective corporate tax rate of zero is the best infrastructure.
Beyond the Limits of a Narrow Plate
My Dinner is served,
It plies itself warm and inviting
within the confines, sadly,
of a too narrow plate ~~~
It can be enjoyed, certainly;
and will be, certainly -
but, some will be lost.
Overboard!! Potato fragments off
the starboard; vegetables too
far aft; meat is safe, though.
A too narrow plate cannot
contain the entirety of a
good and substantial dinner.
And rescue of the lost parts
must be done in secrecy
and in accordance with manners
All for the limits of a too narrow plate ~~~
