ADMIN<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Apologies, hand, surgery, etc. Almost done with the brace!<\/p>\n

HE HOPS THE FENCE AND INTO THE WILDERNESS HE TROTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

… while shouting, in a voice hoarsened by incessant lying, It’s a wonderful city, isn’t it? I designed it myself!<\/em><\/p>\n

Hours after the Labor Department reported that inflation had crested above 4 percent for the first time since early 2023, [President] Trump told reporters, \u201cI love it, the numbers were great<\/a>,\u201d adding that oil prices didn\u2019t climb as high as he thought they might when he ordered attacks on Iran in late February.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the inflation,\u201d he said. \u201cYou know why? Because as soon as this war is over, \u2026 it\u2019s going to come down like a rock.\u201d [Politico<\/strong><\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>Well, at least when he predicts negative inflation<\/em>, it’s technically possible. That’s when prices drop.<\/p>\n

This is what happens when a chronic liar, painted into a corner, takes too big a sniff of the paint fumes, and tries to claim the ongoing disaster is a good thing that he will enjoy. Supporters will hold cult meetings expressly to try to interpret the occult Trump signs.<\/p>\n

Republicans running for Senate seats must be aghast as the chains around their waists tighten and they’re dragged towards the edge of the cliff by the babbling idiot on the other end, swinging back, swinging forth, oblivious to the sand and pebbles of his tumbled fortress falling into his eyes.<\/p>\n

Can they unlock the chains in time? Or will they wait for the Democrats to fall on their swords? The latter is actually not a bad strategy, but if the Democrats are leaning towards more sensible policy positions, as noted in a previous installment<\/a>, success may be marginal.<\/p>\n

BUT HE HAS A CEASE-FIRE!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

And that’s not the unconditional surrender he claimed was imminent for how long?<\/p>\n

But at this point, we should just fire him and take what we can get. While we’re not yet near riots in the streets, we have some toes on that path, and really need to think about how things are going. Republicans, are you paying attention? Well, this guy isn’t<\/a>.<\/p>\n

THIS IS A BIG HINT<\/strong><\/p>\n

To both Republicans and<\/strong> Democrats:<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump\u2019s poor approval rating continues to weigh down his party ahead of the midterms \u2014 though the GOP has a slim measure of separation from the president, with Democrats holding a 5-point lead in the battle for control of Congress, according to a\u00a0new national NBC News poll<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The poll \u2014 which was sponsored by More Perfect, a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to advancing democracy \u2014 found 49% of registered voters say they prefer to see Democrats control Congress as a result of this year\u2019s elections, compared to 44% who prefer Republican control and 7% who are unsure. [NBC News<\/strong><\/a>]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Each side has, as its adversary, a Party constituted of whack-jobs and flakes, condemning the other as Evil Incarnate – and not without reason. That neither side is running away is a condemnation<\/strong> from the independents, who are shaking their heads.<\/p>\n

It’s time for new Parties.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, if the Republicans led an impeachment<\/em> of the President, I’ll bet they’d retain control of Congress.<\/p>\n

THE WAKE OF DOOM <cough> <cough><\/strong><\/p>\n
