He Chickened Out

Here's Green Eagle's guess about the dreadful waste of broadcast time by Donald Trump tonight; and perhaps more importantly, it's the guess of Green Eagle's wife, who probably has far more sense about things than Green Eagle himself:

Trump really did intend to pull the trigger today and declare a state of emergency.  He would use it to build his lunatic wall, and if he got away with it, I am positive that he would have just gone on escalating what he would do with his new-found power, like our Corgi dog, who is never happy with any new toy until he's found a way to tear it to shreds.  But somehow, some way, some one talked him out of it, at least for today.  Who knows what he will do in a few days, if the Coulters and Limbaughs of this world ridicule him for being weak?  But at least we can get one more night's sleep without having to think about our country having literally descended into dictatorship.

Thanks for the shout-out. I think he was probably instructed by his boyfriends Vlad and Recep to keep it on the down-low.

This whole wall thing is about how much money can Trump steal in the process. He wants to be able funnel money to his friends or, more likely, himself.

Joseph, I wonder if he's in debt to the mob and needs to repay them through construction projects!

Putin and his buddies are a far bigger mob than Al Capone and John Gotti ever thought of. It's them he should be afraid of.

If your wife's so sensible, how come she married you?

A question I have been asking myself for a long time, Blue. Please don't write to her and tip her off.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
