He’s perfectly capable of picturing a massive funeral with thousands of people weeping, a 50-foot-high portrait of himself in a golden frame, every single world leader AND all his political enemies getting up to the lectern to say “we should have appreciated him more, he was truly the best man the world has ever known”…_and_ himself sitting there, enjoying it.

He doesn’t ever plan to die. But he would like a super-special funeral, all the same.

I don’t know. I like how asahi posts all the time on a message board about how it’s a useless waste of time to post on message boards. It’s “meta”.

He chose an event where a sizeable amount of those in attendance are not allowed to, or else are unlikely to express bad things.

It’s one of his favorite, repeat, are-you-five-years-old putdowns, refering to other people by firstname while expecting them to call him “Mister”. I don’t think I’ll ever meet the guy, so help me God, but I might call him that. Exactly that. “Mister”, with nothing behind.

I appreciate that Andrew “Dice” Clay called Trump “Donny Trump” when Dice was mocking him for thinking he could be President.

But just “Mister” is interesting.

I think that once he leaves office (if not sooner) most of the country should just refuse to acknowledge they’ve ever heard of him.

Spoiler for the end of _Pan’s Labyrinth_, involving a vicious tyrant and his hopes for the future:

Barr has a generally good reputation as an honest man, a good lawyer and a straight shooter. Hope he can and will preserve that rep in the days ahead.

This is a Dick Cheney pick, I’d stake my life on it. Probably the best we can hope for at the present time.

Yeah, but it’s a pretty dam long line to get in to sue Trump.

Bring a tent and sleeping bag.

Perhaps a reformulation of the famous Ben Franklin quote: “He who would trade essential bedrock concepts of democracy for temporary financial reprieve deserves neither”. Jesus fucking christ.
