I'm going to drown! For no reason at all!

So if dude kicks the bucket, is there anyone left in government that knows what to do? Like not the people who will be out doing the messaging. I mean the people that surely existed 4 years ago, off somewhere in some forgotten corner of the Federal government planning for something like this. Are any of them still employed? I hope so.

But at least it's a very entertaining one.

I cut Claudia a little more slack because pretty much every teenager in 2020 is trying to be an instagram/tiktok "influencer" (especially now that they can't really go outside) and she doesn't seem to hold the same abhorrent opinions of her parents. And living in that house has to suck.

Heh,



Oh they know how to govern. Lets just say every judge slot that sits empty will be filled with an anti abortion judge to destroy abortion. Barrett confirmation fast. Pence is a gay man who wishes nothing than to kill gays because his desire for gay love is so great he can only respond with virulent anger and harm other days to fufill his inner hatred.

This is probably a strategic play on Maddow's part because I am sure the Republicans would like nothing more than to make her or some other talking head be the one who is cursing our precious Donald, and while they will surely find something, there is no reason to help them out.

It seems forever ago already, but that pissy response Trump gave about why he was still having in person rallies compared to Biden's socially distanced events...

So many good attack ads shelved in the name of "decency" that only ever seems to extend one way.

Maddow famously was literal friends with Roger Ailes and a bunch of other far right freaks, she's not anyone to the right of Nixon's friend no matter how much she pretends to be gay lisa simpson. She always has much more kindness to spare the far right that want to shock the queer out of her than she does for the left who want to tax her because she genuinely only views one of those as a real threat.

"The president who downplayed and covered up a deadly pandemic that ravaged his country getting sick with the disease" is perfect. That's in a book, goodamnit. It's a satisfying denouement for this year, and if he dies, it's the just narrative conclusion of his entire presidency.

I went to bed last night and woke up to the news that Trump had tested positive. I took a nap after work and woke up to the news that Trump was being taken to Walter Reed. Conclusion: Trump's condition will worsen every time I sleep. Time to settle in for the weekend.

She isn't talking to you. She's talking to Sarah, the 38 year old mother of two in Ohio who hates abortion but wants some decency back in the White House, who will see this clip on Facebook Watch.

I mean, I hate it too, Trump deserves everything he gets, but she isn't talking to you.

I've been watching some CNN and NBC, CNN especially has been trying to restrain themselves from outright saying "lmao you gently caress around, you find out" NBC has been a little more decorumy but there's still a little hint of it, they've really been saying stuff along the lines of "What the gently caress were these idiots doing what kind of covid security did they have?!" with like, a hint of bafflement that the administration apparently huffed their own farts so completely and seem to have genuinely thought covid was no big deal and not worth taking any special measures for, and "Wow like everyone in the WH is wearing a mask now. WEAR YOUR MASK"

Well that’s I guess a good start, let’s see what happens as this plays out. The media really has a job here to call this bullshit out and to remind people Trump made this mess himself.

I realize that. I'm just hoping he didn't fire them all out of spite sometime in the last 4 years like he did any number of other critical career public officials. Mostly I'm just looking to put some of my worry and uncertainty into words because why not?

The top echelons of the executive branch get replaced with each administration and Biden was there fairly recently, so he or Harris could probably just call up a lot of the old hands if they just needed operational figures. Trump's bullshit appears to have run off a lot of career civil servants but not ALL of them.
