908: #PWMCT (or PWUNKED 2020)

MINDBOGGLED (July 26) —

Those words prove my mental acuity.
I remember them, so all agree
nothing whatever's the matter with me.

Biden, hidin’ down in his cellar . . .
very low-IQ kinda fella.
Not a stable genius like me.

I know nothing of history.
Not even who started the GOP.

I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately . . . education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes . . .

903.1: EXTRA! We Interrupt Our Country . . .

  • John Yoo wrote memo used to justify waterboarding
  • Trump keen to use executive orders and circumvent Congress
John Yoo told Axios he has been talking to White House officials about his view that a recent supreme court ruling on immigration would allow Trump to issue executive orders that flout federal law.
In a Fox News Sunday interview, Trump declared he would try to use that interpretation to try to force through decrees on healthcare, immigration and “various other plans” over the coming month.

A REPUBLIC IF YOU CAN KEEP IT; and good luck with that (July 20) —
Sit back. Relax. The sky is NOT falling.
Turns out it was never there.
Like the whatchamacallit, the Constitution?
(Or, for all that, “gods” who “hear” prayers.)
All there has ever been is THE STRONG MAN, 
the glorious leader who,
can do whatever, whenever he likes
per tortuous logic spewed by John Yoo.
The valiant CAPTAIN commanding the crew
of lesser beings who’ll do as they’re told,
who’ll follow orders,
their brains all moldy, shot full of holes.
From watching FOX and listening to Limbaugh
their souls have become fascistic scrimshaw.
Take “Congress” and “Courts” to the town dump.
Bow down before the Mighty God Trump.
