I think of Trump less as King Cnut, demonstrating that he can’t actually stop the tide, and more like the insane emperor Caligula, declaring War on Neptune, scourging the water and bringing back sea shells as booty.
Edited to add: I responded directly to the post, and only on going back saw that scabpicker also noted this parallel.
All I can say to that, is that while he appointed horse’s arses in various roles, he still has not appointed an actual horse to the senate.
So he is slightly better than the infamously terrible Roman emporer.
Laura Loomer apparently strikes again:
She seems nice.
I’ll go further and say that we should presume, until conclusive evidence to the contrary is provided, that what Trump actually blew up was a boatload of human trafficking victims.
Maybe it’s just me but this feels like Peak Clusterfuck.
I’ve been assured that nothing she says matters.
I was thinking about that very same thing.
I thought Republicans were against gun control. But apparently they’re even more against transgender people.
“Gun control for thee but not for me.”
This is a gift link:
They were all for gun control when the Black Panthers exercised their 2nd Amendment rights.
I was just wondering why he is so convinced that vaccines are causing these alleged problems he can see in kids faces at the airport, and why isn’t it the junk food or the yellow stuff Kraft calls Macaroni and cheese? Or the soda pop and candy?
He’s not a doctor and he’s not a scientist. God Damn these stupid fools.
He’s still an idiot but he blames those, too.
But not too loudly anymore because his boss downs a hundred cans of diet soda a day and is a well known Fast Food connoisseur. Funny how one’s previously avowed principles take a back seat when they become politically inconvenient
And now it’s official:

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Friday to change the Department of Defense’s name to the Department of War, part of a broader effort to present a more aggressive, victorious military to the world.
A senior administration official confirmed the change, which would likely require an act of Congress. But the White House is looking for other alternatives that would avoid a vote, according to another person familiar with the deliberations.
As it happens, I live within a couple of miles of our local beach here in New England and am quite familiar with sea foam. Color it aging blood red? I get your point.
Sea foam at water’s edge:
Hell, all he has to do is get new letterhead printed. Who’s gonna stop him?
Why doesn’t just rename it Department of America! Fuck Yeah!
… or be pre-emptive and save on the letterhead and just fold it into the Department of Homeland Affairs?
Orange Trans is the new black Black?
I was sort of reluctant to use those particular words because they are also the name of a type of confection.
I wonder, will toy retailers stop carrying Transformers?
Have they changed the lyrics to Herman and Katnip?
