Actually kind of enjoying playing Pirate 101 with the family

I like having AI sidekicks. And I like doing tactical battlemap planning before each turn. Family fun with Margie and Kay.

Just on case anyone has become innured, this is *not* normal. This kind of behavior indicates some serious emotional, if not cognitive, problems.

The #DearLeader thinks he is also the Dear Leader of every state. _L'etat c'est moi!_

That every state governor, regardless of party, isn't up in arms, is a sad testament to a strain of autocracy love (or craven fear) in modern American politics.

"Concerns about legality" are words that never apply to the #TrumpRegime. Their mantra is "Who's gonna stop us?"

The #DearLeader cannot get his ego serviced enough. Welcome to the "Trump-Kennedy Center".

Odds that the latter part of the name will be dropped, effectively or legally, over the next 3 years?

In #DonaldTrump 's America, it's not only fun to withhold federal funding on a partisan basis, to attack his perceived political enemies, it is (now according to Administration lawyers) perfectly legal.

#Trump considers himself President of only the part of the country that likes him, such that he can reward their support with taxpayer funds, but withhold such funds from his "opponents," devoid of policy considerations.

Every time you think #Trump can't get more #petty ... he says "Hold my make-up kit."

In this case, annotating the entries on the self-installed #WhiteHouse "Presidential Walk of Fame" with crass and insulting comments under the plaques for Biden, Obama, and Clinton, plus Donald's opinions of Reagan and Carter.

The guy has all the class and maturity of a 13 year old Mean Girl.

Golly-gee, I'm sorry if having a #signlanguage interpreter doesn't fit with the "image" you want to project.

I'm even more sorry that the image *that* projects is of an #entitled, #ableist asshole.

Legal Lingo

The views expressed by me on this weblog are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer, my church, my party, my candidate, my community, my wife, my friends, or, on occasion, myself.

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.
