His next target is Chicago, which hasn't had any serous problems lately, so why there?

Obama made fun of him once.

Except that whenever Dems control everything, they form a circular firesquad. We don't do rigid lockstep very well.

Yeah, that is an annoyance. Rs march all together then when they get in it is bread and circuses for all and the us budget suffers. Ds yell at each other then when they get in have to put the country on a diet again to fix whatever the rs did. Voters that do not follow things just remember rs gave them more money and do not remember why the ds did not do the same.

So it was streaming and I flipped it on. It was not talking about covid 19 but back to talking about the China vitus. Flip it a middle finger and turn off the stream (sorry David Pakman).

If he thinks that was hard he would freak at the series of tests I took to get diagnosed for ADD. It started in the morning, took a break for lunch, then ended in the afternoon.

Liz Cheney has run out of fucks to give the "Freedom Caucus"

Freedom Caucus - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Mick Mulvaney told Ryan Lizza of the New Yorker "We had twenty names, and all of them were terrible," Mulvaney said. "None of us liked the Freedom Caucus, either, but it was so generic and so universally awful that we had no reason to be against it." In the same interview, Lizza reported that "one of the working titles for the group was the Reasonable Nutjob Caucus."

They should have gone with that name, only it's a little wordy. Trim off the first word and you get at the heart of group.

Trump Gets Bored With COVID, Airs Grievances Against Chicago After Expanding Federal Law Enforcement 'Surge' To City

President Trump clearly wasn’t done taking aim at Chicago after he announced on Wednesday that his administration plans to expand...

After the Season 2 premiere of his reality TV-style press conferences yesterday, Trump came under fire even from House Republicans for offering well wishes to Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite accused of being an accomplice to the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of underage girls.

The President’s well wishes for Maxwell came after he once again insisted that the coronavirus will “disappear” someday and advocated for mask-wearing after months of refusing to comply with the practice.

This might be the best way to report on these "briefings."

Sure, solve the problem of people dying by murdering more of them with jackbooted thugs - that'll show us /sarcasm

*so, basically, I'm upset, way beyond being able to express it. Its possible its my depression, but it just feels like our country is doomed. I'm sure we'll come through the other side, but I'm still scared - so hence, bitter sarcasm and bad jokes.

2021, Trump in an interview after finally dragged out of the WH:

“You see... there were many questions... during this IQ test thing whatever... they were almost impossible to answer... yet I did... I answered ALL the questions using my huge brain...”

But nobody will be listening because we will all be too busy celebrating the new president.

I wonder how many other people read that article and started tabulating how they could kill themselves if that all battened? Besides me, I mean.
