Freedom gas
I was going to call it "just another scumbag," which is apparently the way Steve Bannon now refers to Trump -- nobody can hate like a disillusioned lover, huh? -- but then one of Rick Perry's lackeys at the Energy Department came up with "freedom gas" to describe the natural gas he hopes to export to a power-hungry world so all those fracking-related earthquakes in Oklahoma won't be in vain. And what about the beautiful, clean coal? Maybe aircraft carriers, where Trump wants "steam-powered catapults" instead of those newfangled electronic ones. We're so lucky to have a stable genius who understands everything from aircraft to firefighting to horseracing. How did we get so lucky? Robert Mueller has a few theories...
You know it's bad when even I feel sorry for Trump's base of rural white racists. Farmers struggling to survive his idiotic trade war with China are being pummeled by catastrophic weather in the midst of planting season. As if the hail, floods and tornadoes aren't enough, they are also being pummeled by a tiny handful of Republican congressman who are holding up the $19 billion aid package that took months to pass, because it doesn't provide for WALL. That would be Chip Roy of Texas and his little buddies Alex Mooney (WV) and Thomas Massie (KY) -- not too much agra in those states, I guess. How much of a manure heap do you have to be for Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) to call you "pathetic"? Well, now we know. The bill will pass, of course, but on a roll call vote, so this is just childish spite. Speaking of which, FEMA is refusing to reimburse California the money it spent fighting fires on federal land last year until they see the receipts -- in case Gavin Newsom tried to slip a couple of lunches and a haircut in there. Trump really hates California and has cancelled funding for a high-speed rail project in the state, too. That'll show Crazy Nancy.
The detention camps and baby jails are filling up, so Trump plans to punish Mexico for not stopping the asylum seekers somehow. Maybe by building their own baby jails. Yes, in case you woke up and thought, "What the fuck is happening to the stock market now?" it's a new tariff on Mexican imports which will screw US auto manufacturers, clothing retailers, and anybody who buys tomatoes, avocados, strawberries and a range of other foods and beverages. That'll show Mexico. I'm sure everyone from Larry Kudlow to the White House gardener has had a turn at explaining how tariffs work, but with someone who never listens to anything but praise and doesn't even understand much of that, what's the point?
It's no surprise that President Snitbaby gets the worst legal advice since Bosey Douglas urged Oscar Wilde to sue Queensberry for slander. Robert Mueller used lawyerly language in his report and in his press conference, but everyone of average intelligence heard, "If he was blameless I would have said so, all right?" Individual 1's response has been a non-stop howl of "NO COLLUSION WITCH HUNT TREASON" and a promised "investigation" of all the plotters and haters. He shits himself when a reporter yells "impeachment" over the helicopter engines, which is the only way they can ask questions, and he seems to have decided the Supreme Court will save him. Apparently Alan Dershowitz, whose own sanity must be questioned, told him the SCOTUS can somehow nullify an impeachment based on incorrect facts or something. The Dersh did sterling work for Klaus von Bulow and O.J. Simpson, so maybe he wants to replace Giuliani as First Consigliere, which would give him a hat-trick of sleazebag clients. When impeachment does come -- there's no longer any "if" -- no doubt the response will be a lawsuit, which has been the basic Trump business model ever since he got demented Fred to hand over the company. The real estate hustle has never been played at this level before.
