I have to say, my first question was "How the hell do I *avoid* getting a Trump Passport?"

Here's the apparent answer.

GOP: Parents, there are scary people out there who might do #gunviolence to your #kids. So buy them a bullet-proof backpack and tell them to cooperate with active shooter drills.

Also GOP: Nation, there are scary people out there who might do gun violence to our #DearLeader. So build him a yuge bulletproof bunker / #ballroom covered in gold with lots of security so that he can dance the night away safe from mingling with the dangerous hoi-polloi.

"Image of Trump to be featured inside new passports to mark America’s 250th"

There is no limit to the narcissistic ego of #DonaldTrump. We will be decades in erasing the self-serving graffiti of this creep.

"FBI's #KashPatel to sue The Atlantic for #defamation over report on heavy #drinking"

That embarrassing moment when you don't want to seem like a snowflake, but the performative bullying culture you operate in insists you bluster and sue, even as your lawyers try to tell you about defamation law (and the Streisand effect) and all you want to do is go out and do shots with your buddy Pete.

Donald's first impulse is *always* to shoot the messenger of bad tidings. Suggest that the Dear Leader has no clothes? That he's made a mistake? That he's not the most popular kid in the room? Then you're a liar. A phony. A failure. Ugly. Stupid. Unpopular. Radical. Criminal. Traitorous.

And if it's a woman doing it, he quickly leans extra-hard on that "ugly" part.

I won't comment about the outside. But #Trump sure is ugly on the *inside*.

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.
