It is unbelievable that the Orange God was bragging about how much his billionaire friends made in his stock manipulation scheme, after trashing everyone else's 401(k)s. Can't wait to see how many in Congress participated in this.
I came here to say that! Everything is purely a grift or vindictive racist cruelty or both. I am truly disgusted by these people. They're more vile than the Hunger Games elite.
You've once again nailed it with "syphilitic-brained, Habsburgian despot." His administration is some tragic head-on collision between The Emperor's New Clothes and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland but with bad mushrooms.
Enjoy your very well-deserved vacation! I hope that you return but if you decide not to, we’ll understand completely and wish you much fame and success abroad.
I love "Whoa, easy there on the pillaging" - it's going to be my standard response to every new Trumpian idiocy. Fortunately, I live alone so I won't drive anyone else crazy if I overdo it (and how could I not?).
When I was a young, uninformed and stupid teenager, I thought it sounded Very Smart to say I was "Socially liberal but fiscally Conservative" and then I grew up and learned how Conservatives have a truly abysmal track record when it comes to finances and I wonder about the actual grown adults who still like to say they are fiscally conservative.
I think it also says something about the general education system. I know you were home schooled, but I did public school (in Canada) and most of my friends were the same until we started attending an Alternative High School or once we graduated. It's like if you are middle-class and white, you will probably get funneled down a right of centre pipeline unless nudged elsewhere. It helped that I was raised by parents who taught me to question authority. I've gotten more and more leftist as I've aged.
I eventually figured out that what most people meant by that phrase was that they were okay with the gays and black people and women and poor people, just as long as they weren’t impacted in any way by them. Sure, I want to help the homeless, but not near me!
Tariff is going to be the new coded language for screwing something up - as in he really tariffed that one. My alma mater uses this because they lose a lot of football games, so they frequently Coug it.
Have a lovely vacation, Lyz! I was just listening to Peter Weller talk about Padua and Giotto, and now I want to go back to Venice.
Didn't Caligula marry his sister? So, not at all like Trump, because he's not into incest at all.
No, wait...
*Now that lean Australian beef will no longer be added to fatty US beef in MacDonald's hamburgers, overweight wealthy men in their late 70s should be careful not to eat too many, as it may cause blockages in their arteries. So sad.

The hypocrisy drives me crazy. Had Biden or Obama... ? And crickets from the leading media.

Yeah - maybe insider trading should have been the DOTW?
Well, I am shocked to see that Marjorie Taylor Greene may be one of them. ; )
I made the mistake of clicking on the Tiffany Trump link. Too early in the morning for gagging. Great column as usual!
i know. gross!
You know it’s bad if you bring up Caligula! What a precedent!!!
Like Madison, Wisconsin?
#8?

Have a great vacay!

I too was like that. I blame being raised under GW Bush. I got over it quickly. Yeesh.

Make guillotines great again!

1) Snort measurable on the Richter scale
2) Desperate battle for control to prevent my morning smoothie from projectile spackling my iPad
3) Wheezing helplessly
Safety first kids, don’t read Lyz with a mouthful of liquefied spinach
LOL. The whole article is full of great lines:
"....like the mindless rantings of a syphilitic-brained, Habsburgian despot..." and
"Listen, I know it looks like the Emperor is bare-ass naked, but trust us. He has many, many clothes that you, a rube, cannot see yet."
Thanks, Lyz.

Hooray the water pressure made it into the dingus! My water pressure is fine thank you and I do not need the government in my shower.
