Shit like this and the willingness of the news media to frame it like that is the reason people describe politics as kayfabe. And why they aren’t exactly wrong to believe that.

Also recognize that while you experience imposter syndrome, where you incorrectly feel like an imposter, actual imposters have put themselves into load-bearing (and lucrative) positions in society.

The natural gas power plant would be producing the electricity that would go beyond the regular demand. And no, there aren’t any reactors there. There’s only about 50 nuclear plants in the country and Danville, VA didn’t get one.

Natural gas makes the plurality of electricity produced in the US, and to get there, it murdered coal, not nuclear or renewables, so bad as it is, it does represent an improvement in the American energy mix.

Do we need to do Trianon again?

A welcome change from the vice signaling that’s marked the last decade since his escalator speech.

I somehow doubt this indicates any sort of improvement in him as a person.

…to avoid fascists calling you a commie.

Which they will still do.

Were the LA protests not something? Was the Portland protest that breached a holding facility not something?

People are taking action against the Trump administration. Not enough people, and not enough action, but three weeks ago, immigration was his strongest polling policy issue, and now he’s underwater in polling on it.

People who recognized the threat when the Trump Campaign handed out their ‘Mass Deportations Now’ signs at the RNC have forced the mushy middle to understand (in their bones, not just intellectually) what that meant all along.

He wants all holidays to be treated like National Cheesecake Day. Something that the radio DJ announces as the peons drive to work.

From bosses and business owners (i.e., the only kinds of people he talks to or recognizes as people)

How incomprehensibly long is this backlog of unaddressed matters going to be?

If we protest he’ll send in the troops so that he can have his goons grab people off the streets.

If we don’t protest, he’ll have his goons grab people off the streets.

Seems like protesting puts an obstacle and the goons grabbing.

Hey, where else am I going to find leaked schematics of all the hardware that’s going to show up in this upcoming civil war?

At least his grandfather only inflicted disastrously bad medical ideas on his own family.

Jon Stewart and getting fascists to change their neckwear. Is there a more iconic duo?

The computer that will tell you ‘strawberry’ only had two R’s in it or that no country in Africa starts with k, not even Kenya probably drew it.

On one hand, it’s useless performative bullshit. On the other hand, Trump seems to be exactly the kind of guy to get really upset about that sort of thing.

It was supposed to be the department of jangling keys, but then they let it make actual firing decisions without knowing how the institutions worked.

He’s not a US citizen, but he had a court order not to deport from during the previous Trump administration.

No, it’s good that he’s following the law. Unlike those criminals that are trying to manipulate him like Stephen Miller.

Unfortunately, back in the Bush years, a little while before the second gulf war, they passed a bill to invade the Hague if Americans got tried there. Folks will have to seek justice through other channels.
