Good morning. Coffee done and on black tea black now.
News is full of members of the Trump regime saying the completely wrong things. And while that is entertaining, mocking these idiots does no good except make us feel superior. Still, it’s cheaper than streaming.

So my current get rich scheme is combine a golf course with a cemetery.
I was thinking about starting a MAGA/Trump conspiracy blog, just documenting the conspiracy of the week. But I just doomscrolled down the Yahoo News headlines and it would be more like the MAGA/Trump conspiracy of the hour blog. There were so many it’s impossible to keep up.
I think they are all smoking wacky weed or eating magic mushrooms out there, and heck that’s just the Administration. I’m not sure what planet these people are on but it ain’t Earth.

Soup has been rebranded as “water based cooking” because everything must have a three word name when one word would do. Another reason is so some dink can claim it’s new and they invented it.

Good morning. Coffee is proof that God loves us.

This is just a wild guess, but the beginning of storm season was not the best time for Trumpiedee and Elondum to dismantle, destroy and gut FEMA.
Good morning. The first cup of coffee of the day is always the best.
I don’t think Trump is mentally stable. I think, in his mind, he’s wandering around the dark secret maze of tunnels beneath every pizza parlor in the US. Texting hate.

Trump and lawyers both put out a Reality Distortion Field. But the difference is, Trump’s RDF is malignant, intended to cause real harm, like a fog of mustard gas.
Today’s Quote:
Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference.

It’s pretty bad when you no longer have any faith or trust in:
The President
Congress
The Supreme Court
The Republican Party
The Democratic Party
Federal Law Enforcement
The Establishment
The Man
The Dog Catcher …

The Trump Administration is a parade of monsters and weirdos.

Good morning. Coffee. Storms last night but nowhere near the amount of rain that had been predicted.
Trump is trying to improve his image with foreign policy to distract us from his crazy domestic and trade policies. But American voters mainly only care about domestic.
