Watching Roy Moore sweating to escape an interview with the Borat guy, when Borat guy pulls out a “sex offender detection wand” never gets old.

Ironically, it’s even happening right now, with the Inflation Reduction Act > **[UK slams ‘protectionist’ Biden](https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-trade-chief-kemi-badenoch-says-protectionist-joe-biden-inflation-reduction-act-wont-work/)** > > British trade chief Kemi Badenoch reveals major rift with US over green subsidies. and calls for oil explorations in Alaska. > **[Environmentalists condemn Biden's backing of Alaska oil drilling project](https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/environmentalists-condemn-bidens-backing-alaska-oil-drilling-project-2021-05-28/)** > > Environmental groups have condemned the Biden administration's defense of a proposed ConocoPhillips (COP.N) oil development in Alaska, a drilling project approved under former President Donald Trump. Bonus: I looked up the tariffs for Trump’s America First policy, and it looks like Biden retained almost all of them. I think the only thing he changed was shifting the steel tariffs from China to Japan. ---

When Sean Spicer called concentration camps “holocaust centres” in a press conference, and there was a stunned, wide-eyed doubletake that was truly sitcom-worthy done by one of the press pool reporters. ---

Pence touching the staellite on a NASA tour, right next to the sign that said “Do Not Touch.” Didn’t he also visit the COVID unit in a hospital and declined wearing a mask? Then there was TFG staring into the eclipse. Good times. The weirdest one for me, which was recurring, was TFG’s aversion to saying anything negative (because he views himself as a cheerleader for America or something). So even with medical test results, he’d insist that they be referred to as “positive” even if he was healthy. His hippie doctor did that for his first medical exam in office (“Everything’s totally positive!”) and then again during COVID when he recovered, he said his tests were positive as well. Sigh. ---

> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > Then there was the spectacle of the great hotelier, presumably owner of top notch dining facilities, proudly posing in front of a big table piled high with boxes of cold fast food hamberders. They were for some sports team he was hosting. I still shake my head when I think about that one. Aside from the fact that he owned a hotel in Washington (anyone else would have just catered the dinner at their own expense from the restaurant at their own hotel), there’s the fact that by the time the team arrived, the fast food was hours old, so the sandwiches were cold and probably congealed. ---
