On a related note, Loser Donald is complaining about [having to flush the toilet 10 or 15 times.](https://www.rawstory.com/2019/12/everyone-is-baffled-by-trumps-rambling-rant-about-flushing-toilets-10-times-15-times/) Maybe _that’s_ why he had that unexpected trip to the hospital. ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > The point is active sabotage of the judicial system. When viewed through that lens, it makes sense. There’s also the fact that if you employ a competent person who happens to agree with you politically (insofar as The Donald actually has political ideas which could be agreed or disagreed with), they are not so beholden to you as an incompetent person promoted way beyond their merits. All these unqualified appointees have to fight for the current incompetence-rewarding system to continue, because if a government that actually cared about competence and qualifications got in, they’d all be out on their ears ---

It makes me wonder, when he says shit like this, if he has this mental image of a big pile of water hanging over a state and it gets so big it comes down and everyone is running around yelling “what do we do?!” Ok.

Of course, being a vain person, that’s very important to me. It’s like — it gives you an orange look. I don’t want an orange look. Has anyone noticed that? I wonder if a sacrificial aide was discreetly elbowed out of the crowd and tasked with saying “Ummm yessir, we noticed that, we all noticed that some 20 years ago. It’s not the lightbulbs sir, it’s your face.” ---
