They’ve spent their whole life punching up.
Punching up or punching down?
My counter is more direct. I created it two days after Donny Two-scoops was inaugurated.
Punching up. They’re too low to punch down.
I appreciate the sentiment you’re trying to express but think the way you’re going about it sucks and doesn’t make any sense.
According to Vanity Fair, the reason why there was never a nationally coordinated coronavirus response is because Jared saw that it was disproportionately affecting blue states, and so there was no political will to prevent it.

The head of ICE is stepping down because Individual 1 doesn’t think he was mean enough.
Acting ICE Boss Matthew Albence, Who Trump Admin Thought Was Too Nice, Is Retiring?
Good idea. Because there’s no possible way that pissing off an administration insider with possible dirt three months before the election can go wrong.
With a lack of self-awareness that’s stunning even for this crowd, the Trump administration has officially condemned the Chinese government for proposing to postpone upcoming elections in Hong Kong.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany stated “We condemn the Hong Kong government’s decision to postpone for one year its legislative council elections and to disqualify opposition candidates. This action undermines the democratic processes and freedoms that have underpinned Hong Kong’s prosperity.”
And then her head exploded.
Swear to god, I checked this on three different sites just to make sure it was a real news story and not a parody.
He couldn’t disguise his voice. The “patient” looked a lot like a younger version of my vet.
Cognitive dissonance? This is beyond Shönberg, Cage, Penderecki, Xenakis, or Beefheart. We’re into Ice J J Fish territory now.
Focusing on Portland fearmongering rather than the record number of COVID deaths in Florida today.
Looks as though anyone tasked with removing Trump would have to parachute in:
All this talk of how Trump won’t have any choice about leaving is ignoring the mercenaries/“Homeland Security” troops, whose numbers are no doubt being ever-increased. Sadly, many enlisted personnel in legitimate branches of the military could be persuaded to join these White Power ‘Trump is Lord’ Shock Troops.
Bill Barr is ready to assert that this is all legal. The rest of Trump’s cabinet is helping make this work in their various ways. The reward: full-on oligarchy, with no accountability.
… I get the pleasure people derive from picturing Trump being dragged out. But the likelihood is that he will have plenty of firepower at the ready to mow down anyone who attempts it.
He sure likes walls.
It’s all so pathetic. Hugely dangerous to our democratic republic, but still. Pathetic.
Perhaps we can lock them all in and throw over a few 1/4 pounders a day. Problem solved.
Individual 1 says he’s going to ban Tik Tok.

Is there any proposed scenario in which the Presidential election doesn’t happen, but the Congressional ones DO?
Doesn’t he still have to sign that big, beautiful healthcare bill he promised two weeks ago?
He was asked about that at a press conference:
“A week ago, you said you’re in the process of developing a strategy that’s going to be very powerful involving the coronavirus. Where is that strategy?”
Here is the word-for-word response given by the President of the United States:
“I think you’re seeing it, and I think you will see it. And one of the things that we’ve done – it hasn’t been utilized fully yet – but we’re all set to march when it comes to the vaccine. We have great therapeutics that are testing very well. And we have great vaccines from incredible companies – Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer and Merck and all of these great companies, and they’re doing very well - is that they’re doing very well. And the delivery system is all set logistically. We have a general, that’s all he does is deliver things whether it’s soldiers or other items. And I think you’re going to see something that’s going to be spectacular.”
Here it comes - first ban TikTok and if that sticks he can start cutting Americans off from any news source other than what he personally approves.
So this is what it looks like when a wannabe dictator is trying to consolidate power…
