Trump's "24k gold" pieces in the Oval Office are tacky AF. The piece in the photo came from Home Depot, for $58. A couple of rattle cans of Krylon gold paint, and "VOILA!" Or, as they say in the string section, "VIOLA!!" Clown show. π€‘

I recall the '80s when Trump was considered a NY fraud and laughingstock. He knew nothing about anything, and was a self-promotional dope who inherited hundreds of millions. Today, he's that same jerk, only old, fat, with dementia. Explain to me how 70M Americans worship this human turd? Guh-hed.

Trump is obsessed with zero sum retribution, cruelty, and "getting even." Inflicting pain, even if it's a Pyrrhic victory, is a win in his eyes.

Congress controls the purse strings, but not anymore. Using pocket recissions, Trump has further emasculated the already weak-sauce Congress, and cut $5B in approved spending. No need for laws or Congress! We're living in a dictatorship.

The Alligator Auschwitz detainee population primarily consists of nonviolent black immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean and brown immigrants from Latin America. 70% haven't been charged with a crime. This stunt was done to make MAGA giddy with cruel joy, period.

IMHO, Trump is circling the drain. He's rambling when he speaks, making mistakes, forgetting, repeating. Physically, he's broken. Soon, no more golf. Greed, hate, lies, adulation aren't enough. He's my age, and I'll outlive him by 15. Stick a fork in him, he's done.

Posse Comitatus prohibits federal military personnel from engaging in domestic law enforcement activities, such as arrests, searches, or seizures. Trump deploying troops to blue American cities is nothing more than a strawman response where none is needed. Total bullshit.
