Down we go

Another steep downward plunge for President Tweety.

Yeah, he should have left them in jail for not kissing his bum – or rather, because the father of one of them didn’t kiss his bum; the players themselves all thanked him.

Got it all – the rude nickname, yet again that stupid “the Great State of” formula, the political sabotage, the random “quotation” marks, the lunatic claim that he’s our favorite, the vindictive gloating.

Head of state, and he’s obsessing in public over the fact that this one guy doesn’t love him.

Uh huh. People were rejoicing that he’d put the reversal of the ban on trophies on hold while he pretended to “think” about it, and already he’s letting them know he was toying with us.

Wall! Wall! Wall! And while we’re at it, how about some gas chambers?

Hurry up with cutting taxes on the super-rich, willya!

Blah blah blah football players blah blah National Anthem blah blah NFL blah.

Head of state, don’t forget. Head of state, obsessing over basketball players and football players.

President Trump gets all his “information” from Fox “News.”

(You see I actually know how scare quotes work.)

    I’m not an economist but I think at a macro scale having unemployment that low isn’t a good thing…

    I’m not a psychiatrist but I think that at a macro level having a president with Trump-level intelligence isn’t a good thing. Hell, if head lice had Trump-level intelligence they’d be attacking feet.

    The idea that a president would even consider letting a citizen of their country stew in a foreign jail, out of malice, because one of that citizen’s family members thinks they’re an asshole, is…

    …well, it would have been mind boggling, not so long ago.

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu……………………….

    Repeat to self: this is not normal.

    Is there any bottom to this abyss?

    “Is there any bottom to this abyss?”

    You should really know better than to ask that question. We are talking about a man ignorant of the First Rule of Holes who thinks his jackhammer is a pogo stick.

    At some point this becomes a topological problem of trying to fit a hole of infinite depth within the volume of a finite planet.

    So we are reminded that Little Big Man is a very very petty big time thief who bigly dislikes petty theft. Right.

    I should have left them in jail!

    I think that one fraction of one tweet written by Trump himself sums up Trump at least as well as anything else I’ve seen.

    1. He’s unthinkingly cruel and vindictive

    2. He, for that matter, is unthinking

    3. He is such a monstrous narcissist that he thinks people should rot in jail if their relatives don’t go down on both knees (and yes, that was a cruel sexual reference, in case there’s any ambiguity)

    4. He is such a monstrous narcissist that he thinks everyone else thinks the same. Any claims to the contrary will be waved away as politicising the issue.

    5. He’s such a monstrous narcissist that he thinks anything he did had anything to do with getting these people out of prison

    6. He’s such a monstrous narcissist that he thinks everyone on Earth should sincerely thank him at all times for all things even if he had nothing to do with it or they didn’t want it in the first place

    7. He is such a monstrous narcissist and is so unclear about the concept of the passage of time that he thinks people should feel he is especially magnanimous for supposedly getting someone out of jail when his father later objected to his claims of responsibility

    7. He doesn’t know how to spell ‘mic’. OK, that was a different tweet, but it annoys me

    Crude sexual reference, not a cruel one.

    Obviously something was making me think of cruelty, can’t imagine what.
