Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Dumb Brute

 Trump has - naturally - come out blasting McConnell for caving on the debt ceiling.

Now, the debt ceiling is stupid to begin with. Threatening to force the US into default and triggering a worldwide economic crisis is mindbogglingly stupid. McConnell was stuck because he picked a fight that ultimately he couldn't win. So he caved.

Trumpistan's position is so depressingly revealing. There was no plan for McConnell to "win" this fight, merely anger that he caved to Democrats. 

The entire point of MAGA is to hate on and oppose Democrats. There is NO positive position that defines Trump's political movement beyond Cleek's Law. That's why he didn't need to run on a platform; his platform was Cleek's Law.

I really hate that guy and everyone who fluffs him.
