From what I hear, Air Force One is fully stocked with all of the short-fingered vulgarian’s favorite delicacies. While his hosts dine on the finest of Indian cuisine, he’ll be eating Big Macs, fries, and well-done steak with ketchup. ---

The WH is [claiming that “internet freedom”](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/02/trump-report-bizarrely-claims-net-neutrality-repeal-raised-incomes-50b-a-year/) (the ruthless murder of not neutrality) has raised real incomes by fifty billion dollars per year (whose are not specified) and increased “consumer welfare” by $40 billion per year (whatever the fuck that pile of pseudosemantic crutons is supposed to mean). Meanwhile, eliminating internet privacy rules has created real income of eleven billion dollars a year. Also, abrogated bandersnatch Casanova pickle ensconcing murgatroid. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Will Individual 1 demand beef with all of his meals in India? There are a fair number of [news articles](https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/23/politics/donald-trump-india-beef-vegetarian/index.html) discussing that very point, because obviously this is the most important thing at the moment. And [FoxNews](https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-trump-meat-food-options-india)is mocking CNN for “being obsessed” with Trump’s food, although I’m not sure the channel that reported obsessively about the Tan Suit, the Coffee Salute, and the fact that Obama likes Dijon mustard is well-placed to criticize. ---

So Donald and his leech daughter got to pose in front of the Taj Mahal that he didn’t bankrupt. And he’s upset that those exposed to Corona got to reenter the US. And he thinks that two Supreme Court justices have an obligation to recuse themselves of any matter that involves him. In just over eight months we either get rid of this louse or he becomes dictator for life.
