The Taj Mahal verson is fine, too. Just a good tune all around.
So what’s next after the demolition of the White House’s East Wing? You know Tubby wants to clear out the African American History Museum; maybe he’ll make it into a party venue. Since he’s arrogated the powers of Congress, maybe they can make the Capitol into a hotel.
I’m amazed that some people are saying Democrats shouldn’t talk about this because it’s not The Price of Eggs. Not that The Price of Eggs isn’t crazy. I just bought some and, like, wtf. But damn, it’s like the attack ads write themselves, and yet here’s Gretchen Whitmer -- who I thought was one of the good ones, not to mention a dish -- waving it off:
“Well, as I have talked to people, I’m telling you right now, no one is worried about building a ballroom in Washington, D.C.,” Whitmer replied. “What they want is to make sure that they can feed their kids next week. And the longer the shutdown goes, the more precarious it gets for people.”
The governor said most Americans are “never going to step foot in a ballroom over the course of their lifetime.”
AAARGH don’t you get it? Trump has been lying his ass off about everything including the economy. And to the extent that he still has support among voters, it’s because many of them are invested in his lies.
Like, for instance, his repeated lie that the cities he's invading with his ICE goons are burning to the ground. Sure, to you and me this is obvious bullshit, but to people who never leave their cul-de-sacs or hollers it could be true and, rather than believe the President of the United States is sending no-necks to Portland just to wreak vengeance because its citizens didn’t vote for him, they may be inclined to take his word for it to comfort themselves.
And if they’re in the habit of eating that kind of shit, they might also tell themselves, well, maybe my big grocery and gas and electric bills are just a fluctuation, or still Joe Biden’s fault; in any case the President must know it’s gonna get better because if he doesn’t that would mean he’s lying and these prices may never go down, and that thought is unbearable.
I remember how Republicans have tried to cover up their administrations’ economic wreckage in the past, and how slow citizens can be to tumble to it -- as I said in 2006 as consumer confidence began to drop (to be followed shortly thereafter by the economy itself), “I have lived amongst Americans for a long time, and I have never known one to minimize his financial status -- in fact, I have heard more than one claim to be ‘doing great!’ when he was in fact two paychecks from a barrel overcoat.”
So it’s important to show voters that the guy is not only obviously but also dangerously full of shit. He said he was going to “renovate” the East Wing and then he just tore it down. To build a golden ballroom! For him and his rich friends! (That the voters will never “step foot” in it is part of the point, Big Gretch!)
People reacted to the ruins of the World Trade Center. Let them gaze upon the ruins of the East Wing until it sinks it.
OK, who wants free editions of ROY EDROSO BREAKS IT DOWN? Here ya go: First, another episode of everyone’s favorite news show, Received Opinion with Bolt Upright, confronting the endless and increasingly outrageous shakedowns of deep-pocketed victims (including the U.S. Treasury -- that’s you and me, fellow Americans!) that are the hallmark of Tubby’s reign. And also a consideration of Zohran Mamdani in the home stretch and how the usual suspects are coping with his impending victory, basically by shifting their hatred from the candidate to New York City -- which they hated already, so it’s an easy segue. (Maybe Price-of-Eggs Democrats like Whitmer can learn something from his popularity.)
