WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON...?
I didn't want to write another post today. Today was earmarked for some great old movies from the '60s.
But this is the Trump administration. Every Wedenesday, Thursday and Friday is WTF Day. This particular Thursday, we've had at least a half-dozen WTF moments, and it's still afternoon.
Indict Joe! After zooming back and forth about the stim bill, Trump has been tweeting his demands to have Joe Biden indicted for...something. No actual charge is specified. For a while now, Trump has been tweeting an incomprehensibly insane conspiracy theory about something Biden allegedly did wrong in 2016.
I'd rebut this nonsense (as Marcy has tried to do), but there is no need, since only the most deluded followers of the Orange Oaf pretend to comprehend or to care about Trump's conspiracy theories.
Speaking of the stim bill: We now learn that our debt has risen above our economy.
Remember when Bill Clinton ran a surplus? Remember his no-pain plan to pay back the entire national debt within, what, maybe ten years? Remember how that plan was tossed out when Dick Cheney said "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter?" Remember the massive debt incurred by the ill-begotten Iraq War? Remember Bush's tax cuts for the rich? Remember Trump's even stupider tax cuts for the rich? Remember the terrifying deficits Trump ran up before Covid hit?
Remember your introductory Economics class? Specifically, do you remember the day you learned why a country can't just keep printing more money?
We've gotta tax the rich, folks. They have all the cash.
Kidnap Whitmer. Then the FBI broke up a serious-as-a-nuke kidnap/general mayhem plot directed against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer by various militia maniacs in that state. Apparently, the plot was upended by an "inside man" -- and by cooperation with Facebook.
Yet Trump would still have you believe that Antifa is violent. Trump still refuses to condemn the planned abduction of Whitmer.
Former FBI Director Andrew McCable holds Trump personally responsible.
In one tweet Trump wrote, “Liberate Michigan!”
McCabe said that Russia is amplifying Trump’s anti-democratic messages.
“But let’s not be mistaken here,” he continued. “The person most responsible for fomenting this sort of unrest, this sort of division, this sort of violence in this country right now is the president of the United States.”Pelosi talks 25th. Yes, Nancy Pelosi is making what appear to be serious moves toward invoking the 25th. She would never contemplate such a move unless she had excellent reason to believe Trump has become incapacitated.
This isn't a stunt. We're 26 days away from the election and her party's candidate is heavily favored in all polls. Why would she want anything to do with a stunt?
In an interview immediately after her press conference, Pelosi suggested that the president may not be thinking clearly because of the drugs he has taken while being treated for the disease. “The president is, shall we say, in an altered state right now,” Pelosi said on Bloomberg TV. “I don’t know how to answer for that behavior.”
Trump's ever-classy reply:
Crazy Nancy is the one who should be under observation. They don’t call her Crazy for nothing!When he says "they," who does he mean? Trump also retweeted this message, which -- when you study who-said-what -- is a total hoot:
(The 25th Amendment does not work that way, and it’s also not a “coup” to use it) https://t.co/b5Cf05wLMJ

So Trump retweeted a guy who said that it would not be a coup...? Feinberg clearly implies that invoking the 25th would be legal and Constitutional. I don't think that this is Trump's intended message. Does the president even understand what he's reading?
This @POTUS has turned his own political suicide into a surreal reality show.
Pence called off a long-scheduled campaign event in Indiana to fly back to DC.
Vice President Mike Pence, currently in Arizona, has cancelled campaign events in Indiana tomorrow and will be returning to Washington, D.C. instead, the AP reports.
His spokesman tells CBS News that “nobody’s sick” and “there’s no positive tests.”
If so, then it seems fair to posit that this remarkable return must have some linkage to Nancy's move -- or perhaps with some bizarre outburst on Trump's part, the kind of outburst that may have prompted Pelosi to think in terms of the 25th.
Here's reporter Olivia Nuzzi:
I was scheduled to travel with Pence tomorrow as the print pooler. Ahead of his JBA departure, press traveling with him were scheduled for COVID tests at 7am. As of 35 minutes ago, the VP’s office was still communicating with reporters about logistics for the morning.Although I could be wrong, I don't think he has Covid. Something else seems to be up.
Senator Mike Lee wants rid of democracy. Yes, he came right out and said it. A fucking senator.
Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.
There can be no liberty without democracy. Every tyrant has justified his tyranny by insisting that he was providing liberty, peace and prosperity. Lee is a traitor.
Lift up your heads, ostriches: The fascist movement is far more widespread and powerful than you ever thought. They may call themselves libertarians -- as I'm sure Lee does -- but they are really fascists.
Broidy. Trump crony Eliott Broidy has pled guilty, as part of a plea deal, to his various crimes, as exposed here. Basically, the scheme was to rip off Africans.
The second debate. Trump pulled out because the Debate Commission had decided on a virtual format (similar to the third Nixon/JFK debate), but mostly because the new set-up would allow the moderator to stifle his interruptions.
Good lord. Does he really believe that his insane performance in Debate #1 actually helped him? Or is he simply looking for a face-saving excuse to duck all debates?
Maybe that should be his new name. Donald Duck.
And maybe his tweets should be called quacks. Same as his doctors.
Pretty please, can things just calm down for a few hours...? All I wanted to do today was watch Patrick McGoohan glower his way through Ice Station Zebra.
