Soup of the morning

"Kim Jong-un hit on you!  He did!  He fucking hit on you!" Trump told Sarah Huckabee Sanders, as she boasts in her forthcoming memoir.  She doesn't think it's at all gross, either.  Every fucking word out of Trump's mouth is pure angel-song to our Sarah, even when he added, "You're going to North Korea and taking one for the team."  We'll never know if she did.  But apparently Kim is a reader of H.L. Mencken, who famously wrote:  "If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner, and wink your eye at some homely girl."

Michael Schmidt's new book promises to be of considerably more interest than the Sanders valentine.  It's already roiling the waters with its assertion that Mike Pence was put on "standby" last year when Trump hurried to Walter Reed for that purely routine physical/visit with soldiers' families/inspection tour/gift shop buying spree.  We now know it was one of a series of small strokes because the patient was on Twitter yesterday denying the hell out of it.  Thing is, nobody including Schmidt used the word "stroke" until Trump did.  There's other stuff like the offer of the FBI directorship to John Kelly if he would sign a "loyalty oath" and the proposal to "settle" with Robert Mueller to end his investigation -- maybe a free country club membership, who knows?

It's the stroke story, and the thought of being like Dear Old Demented Dad, that continue to obsess the Stable Jenius.   Ronny Jackson was dragged away from his campaign for the Texas 13th and made to lie once again about how incredibly healthy Trump is in spite of dragging his right foot and needing both hands to drink water and sweating like a Derby winner through his acceptance speech and slurring words, and of course:

This, about throwing bags, or cans, of soup at "our police."  I think.

This:  "We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend, and in the plane it was loaded with thugs, wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and this and that." 

The conflation of "choke" as in fail to make an easy putt and "choke" as in how George Floyd was killed.  Probably the neurologists have a word for that.

This:  "If I didn't INSIST on having the National Guard activate and go into Kenosha, Wisconsin, there would be no Kenosha right now.  Also, there would have been great death and injury."  He also INSISTED on visiting the city, contrary to the governor's wishes, and has yet to utter the name Jacob Blake.

Claiming Joe Biden is "controlled" by "People that you've never heard of, people that are in the dark shadows."  People who contributed $364 million last month, mostly in small sums to throw us off the track.  Or as he told a visibly distressed Laura Ingraham, "The money is coming from some very stupid rich people who have no idea that if their thing ever succeeded, they will be thrown to the wolves like you've never seen before."  Oh, but we have.  "They will stop laughing!"

No stroke!  No stroke!  You're the soup!

But the biggest scandal of the day is that Nancy Pelosi removed her face mask while getting her hair done in a San Francisco salon.  It's unforgivable that the most powerful woman in the country is still  judged on her appearance.

Last week the Biden/Harris campaign instantly repudiated a troll endorsement from white supremacist Richard Spencer.  Even Reagan eventually declined the endorsement of the KKK.  When will Trump stand up to these "very fine people"?
