A rare bird indeed — a 6-3 majority of the Supremes — just took a dump on His Excremency’s tariff scheme.
Ho boy. Iran best be bracing for the inevitable dick-punch. You just know he’s gonna tell Kegsbreath to have at it now.
Meanwhile, I want a refund for the $32 ransom I had to pay on that Selle Italia 1990 Flite saddle I bought last October. Insert your own “up the butt” joke here.
• Update: Some deets from the smarties at Scotusblog. And some most excellent snark from Betty Cracker at Balloon-Juice, who opines thusly:
You know he’s going to shit a cat. Ms. Wiles will have to surge housekeeping assets to the TV room to sponge the ketchup off the walls.
• Another update: No More Mister Nice Blog has some thoughts on war, tariffs and Trump’s brain, including informative links to pieces in The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and other outfits a tad better equipped for heavy duty than Your Humble Narrator..
Mad Blog Media 
Shit, you mean you could even find a ’90’s Flite?
Had to go all the way to Italy for it. True fact. Selle Italia’s home base.
Man… I knew I should have bought some Kraft/Heinz stock. The ketchup has gotta be flying
The Oval Office must look like the set on a Tarantino flick after a “shoot.”
Boy is pitching a proper hissy fit. Real presidential shit like calling justices lapdogs and disloyal. They dared to defy the empirer bonious spurious. Boy loves a lap dog but not when they bite. Boy. Small b, small o, and small y. You know like a child.
His momma didn’t raise him right. Mine woulda wore out 86 pair of kneecaps kicking him in the ass.
Boy is a chip off the old assholes.
Wait ’til ghislaine, bill, and andrew start snitching to get their sentences reduced. That will take the boy right into 25th amendment land. All those Q idiots were trying to find the child trafficking ring in the pizza joint when it was right in front of them.
Roger Sollenberger, a former Daily Beast scribe, writes that Maxwell’s shysters have three FBI interviews with an underage accuser of His Excremency that have not been released to the public:
I wonder if Sollenberger wears hazmat gear when he’s snuffling around in this cesspool. That shit looks an awful lot like work to me.
Perfect partners for tRump & Co. You may have seen that the Marouns shuttled over a million buckaroonies over to one of tRumps shady PAC’s. They’ve been pillaging Michigan for years.
The thing that annoys me most about this crowd is that they don’t even bother trying to hide their piracy anymore. It’s like the shoplifters who grab a cart full of whatever and roll it right out the door sans consequences.
“I wish they’d at least show us the courtesy of running,” said one worker whose employer doesn’t let its people chase thieves, for liability reasons, no doubt. Easier to raise prices to cover the cost of pilferage. Or announce layoffs.
Thoughts from 16 years ago that seem to be proven true based on the current state if affairs.
O, it’s hard to go wrong with that fella. He was a wise man as well as a wiseguy.
When’s the next round of political murder? I picked up a book about the building of the Parthenon, and the author made the point, with examples, that murder was a standard political tool in democratic Athens pre and post Peloponnesian War. Pericles went about his business with bodyguards. And us? MLK, RFK, Luigi Mangione, Gabrielle Giffords, that guy today at Mar-A-Lardo. Part and parcel. With all the shit coming out about the rich running wild, I just gotta wonder when someone’s going to start in on the rich in earnest. Les Wexler, Manuel Maroun, Elon Musk, etc. The next Gavrilo Princip is probably being radicalized by ICE now.
Don’t forget JFK (Nov. 22, 1963). I was 9 and living in San Antone when that deal went down.
Also, and too, Malcolm X. This past Saturday was the anniversary of his murder in ’65.
And the attempts! For a while there they popped round like cabs at the airport. Two on Ford, one on Reagan, one on George Wallace, and one on His Excremency. I don’t count plots that were foiled before reaching the attempt stage.
In a nation with more than its fair share of loons, many of them armed to the teeth, it’s a wonder anyone makes it from the inauguration to the Oval Office. I wonder if poison will ever make a comeback. Not as flashy, but effective, as long as you’re not going after Rasputin.
Putin uses it to great effect on his detractors. If a president was wildly popular with the citizens, I doubt the they would have much to fear. Wait for it.
