No single scandal is a distraction from another scandal. The totality of the scandals is a distraction from all of them.

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

For days before the Vances’ 3-hour invasion of Greenland, U.S. representatives went door-to-door hoping to find just ONE household that would welcome the hillbillies.
100% of them said, “No.”
If only Americans had been smart enough to say the same thing.

They love this “run the government like a business” canard coz it conjures images of efficiency and accountability.
The reality is, it’s about increasing profits for the few over the wellbeing of the many.
If the government operated the way a business does, the citizenry should rightfully revolt.
