Then he better keep workshopping. Trump will not play second banana to God the Father (a low IQ deity with horrible ratings)…
Poor future baby. ![]()
Not to mention, God can’t compete with Trump’s crowd sizes either.
I know this is an old post, but “don’t ‘Jew’ me on the price” might actually be misinterpreted as “don’t CHEW me on the price”, without knowing the phrase’s origin.
Does anyone else think Stephen Miller (holy cannoli, I wouldn’t want to be another man who happens to have that name!) resembles Reinhard Heydrich?
You give small town Arkansans a lot more credit than I do. And even if they didn’t know the origin of that particular phrase, they were still antisemitic as heck, otherwise. I don’t know which would be worse - that it was intentional antisemitism or that they didn’t know and wouldn’t have cared when they found out
I can’t even parse “Don’t CHEW me on the price” as being a phrase that means anything.
Like hypothesizing that Marie Antoinette said le theme est quete, and somebody misheard her.
Not unlike former Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley (the son of the original), who once said, “You want a white mayor who sits down with everybody,” then claimed he actually said, “you want a wet mayor.”
I’ve made that comparison more than once.
Not disagreeing - just ignorant. I thought that a longstanding “problem” was that many of the smartest math majors were pursuing careers in investment banking, chasing the big bucks. Are those smarties working for the incompetents?
Often, yes. Is this surprising, though?
How many intelligent people slave away for clearly incompetent corporate executives because of a decent paycheck? And in the case of investment banking, the paychecks can be quite large. Believe it or not, the correlation between corporate profits and competent C-suite tenants is not particularly strong
Nah – though he played a Nazi colonel, Klink had a kindly look about him. He kinda reminds me of the department head at a university where I once worked. I’m going with Stephen Miller having the Reinhard Heydrich look. The resemblance is rather stunning. If you shaved Heydrick’s head so that it resembled a light bulb, they would be almost identical. They also have very similar ideologies, the same interest in global domination, and the same cruel nature.
“Must be dead inside”? Anyone working for Trump must be dead inside.
I’m dusting off this moldy oldie of mine. I think it’s a moral imperative:
We used to leer, gape, and stare in wide-eyed wonder at the dysfunctional ‘guests’ on the Jerry Springer show. Now, we consider them for – or even elect them to – the highest offices in the land?
Something is horribly broken in America, and it’s the audience for this kind of irredeemable demagoguery and jaw-dropping ignorance.
Oh. One other thing. This morning, I may have coined a new word:
Psycho-kakistocracy.
Here's ChatGPT's take on what the term might mean
Fun word
Let’s break it apart etymologically:
- “Psycho-” → from Greek psyche, meaning mind, but in modern English often implying psychological, mentally unstable, or psychopathic.
- “Kakistocracy” → from Greek kakistos (“worst”) + kratos (“rule”), meaning government by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous people.
So if someone coined “psycho-kakistocracy”, I’d naturally interpret it as:
A government ruled by the worst people who are also psychologically unstable, deranged, or dangerously irrational.
Or more playfully:
- “Rule by the worst and craziest.”
- “A kakistocracy where the incompetence is amplified by madness.”
- “Government by the most unfit — and unhinged.”
It sounds like a satirical or rhetorical escalation of kakistocracy, adding an extra layer of psychological chaos.
If you’re coining it for writing or political commentary, it has a sharp, almost darkly comedic punch.
Hey, ChatGPT’s definition of the present state of the USA is beautiful!
A government ruled by the worst people who are also psychologically unstable, deranged, or dangerously irrational.
Erinnert Sie das an irgendetwas aus den 1930er Jahren?
I watched her presser yesterday with my sister who was ripping into her from afar. She was outraged that Leavitt shrugged off our admin basically planning to bomb Iran’s desalination plants. My sister lives close to such a plant and there would be a local shortage without it; those are pretty important even in another country 12000 miles away.
Well yeah, it’s literally a war crime to hit civilian infrastructure yet here we are.
