Tax cuts for the wealthiest? Check!

Gaudy ballroom paid for by corporations? Check!

Demolition of historic property? Check!

Healthcare for poor children? Nope!
A child in a hospital gown and tethered to an IV stand looks in on a gala gathering in a gold emblazoned ballroom. The child represents poor children deprived of healthcare in order to pay for the glitzy ballroom.

What a petulant child! It's enough to make you want to pay your taxes to Revenue Canada.

That part I've internalized (sorta.) But for some reason I hadn't connected the "investment" in the Mar-a-Lago DC East Wing 19th hole to his long-term residency plans. Ugh.

It's not expected to be completed until Jan 2029. The confidence that he has that he'll be able to enjoy it thereafter tells you everything you need to know about what they're doing today.

But by all means stop funding scientific and medical research, and be sure to limit distribution of COVID mRNA vaccines. theconversation.com/covid-19-mrn...
COVID-19 mRNA vaccines could unlock the next revolution in cancer treatment – new research
The researchers found that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines could potentially help patients whose tumors don’t respond well to traditional immunotherapy.

All the gold and glitter, all the money and adulation that he buys cannot change the fact that he goes to bed and awakens in the morning alone and reviled, even by his own family.

He is at best a meal ticket and worth more to them after he dies than in this life.

No one will mourn him. No one.

While Trmpf is metaphorically dropping shite on the American people, Putin is literally raining death and destruction on kindergartens in Ukraine.

Someday there must be a reckoning for both.

It's all part of the strategic, unrelenting and rapid-fire series of outrages, with each new one putting the preceding one just far enough in the rear view mirror so that we dismiss, ignore or forget it.

We hypernormalize the crimes already committed, because the next one's worse. And on it goes.

It's (at least) a double whammy. We'll pay for the lawyers who'll sue us, and then we'll pay for the "damages" he's suffered.

I dunno. This whole thing feels like grasping. He was sh*tfaced, got a tattoo, and it never "mattered" until now, because no one recognized the symbol, including him. I can't believe anyone really thinks he's a nazi sympathizer.

And I say this as someone who's unlikely to vote for him.

BREAKING: Putin gifts free Soviet-era Zil limousine to Trump, to be delivered at Budapest summit.

"True, gas mileage is limited, but body is in excellent condition. Very few upgrades needed," noted Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, adding that "power windows are fully operational."

He must really want to get an invitation to dinner at the White House, where Trump will seat him next to Tim Scott and Byron Donalds.

He Wasn’t Qualified to Be Attorney General. He’s Even Less Qualified for the Next Job Trump Wants Him In. He Does Have a History of Scams.
That may not be the ideal preparation for this.
