While everyone has been watching the monkey in the white house playing with his own feces, Betsy DeVos [has been funneling millions](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/15/us/politics/betsy-devos-coronavirus-religious-schools.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage) of relief dollars intended for low income students into wealthy private schools and religious institutions. The sleaziness of this administration is just epic. ---

The sleaziness of this administration is just epic. I suspect that almost anyone with any high level influence in this administration is probably compromising themselves legally. This is how you get access to power in their world. You do something that compromises you, which gives them the ability to let you in a little deeper, thereby putting you deeper into the quicksand. And if you try to back out, if you try to speak out, there could be consequences. ---

I’m still loving the old classic [“Donald the Deranged Dotard”](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/21/world/asia/kim-trump-rocketman-dotard.html). But I agree, that Dumb Donald is probably better for mass consumption. ---

Trumple-thin-skin is my favorite. It gets a laugh every time I use it in real life but it is annoying to write. ---

I still sometimes use “President Little Gloves” (President Caestula is more correct, but who uses Latin any more?) Goes with “Incitatus”, which is how I refer to Jared Kushner. ---

“Little Donnie Two-Scoops.” It perfectly sums up his character (or lack thereof), and it’s safe to say in front of children. ---
