The end of the affair

Two years after he made big promises but failed to put a ring on it, North Korea sees "no future benefit" in the Kim-Trump bromance.  They must have heard that he's in a virtual tie with Biden in Arkansas.

The news from Mother Russia is even worse:  Russian state television (i.e., Putin) is openly laughing about the "black riots" and calling Trump weak.  Could the bots be preparing to stand down in this election?

Getting into the spirit of civil rights perhaps, the Supreme Court ruled that existing law forbids job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and transgender status.  No doubt the usual suspects will "discover" that Roberts is a colonel in Obama's army, or Gorsuch is in the pay of Soros, or whatever batshit conspiracy narrative helps them cope with the world.  Not to worry, evangelicals, Trump's HHS is still determined that health care providers be allowed to discriminate against trans people, LGBT and women seeking abortions, so...friends?

Today we learned that Mary Trump has written a less-than-flattering book about Uncle Don to be published in August.  It's almost as if she or her publisher believes he won't be of such compelling interest in a few months.  Jeez, you refuse to cover the medical bills for one nephew with cerebral palsy and people treat you like a monster.

Trump isn't at all worried about John Bolton's book, he just thinks the author will have "criminal problems" when it goes on sale next week.  Once again, it's a question of time  -- the DOJ has not been able to comb through it for confidential material.  "I don't know of any book that has been published so quickly while the officeholders are still in government," Bagpipe Bill complained.  Tick tock, Bill.  Is your resume ready to send out?

Trumpanzees gathered in Walker, Michigan, to burn letters advising that they can apply for absentee ballots.  Not the ballots, not even the applications, the letters.  The envelopes too, I assume. Fire pretty!  You can also request a ballot online, so expect Cletus to burn his computer next.  Oh no, I forgot -- the porn.

With over two million cases and more than 118,000 deaths, Trump has finally figured out this whole COVID-19 deal:  "If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any."  Just a lot of mysteriously dead people.  Meanwhile, let's get those businesses open again.

Sometimes I think I'm the one who's insane.
