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.

Mush Brain

 Trump held a quasi-town hall in Michigan where he took some questions from Sarah Huckleberry Sanders. The results would be disqualifying in a sane political system. It sort of went like this:

"Dearest Leader, how will you bring down the costs of hamburdlers for White Americans and maybe Brown Americans, if they like you?"

"I will restrict the amount of food in America. I am a savvy business man."

Here's another one:

"Dearest Leader, how will you deal with energy even though America is currently leading the world in energy production?"

"We have Bagram in Alaska. So much oil."

OK, Bagram is an airfield outside Kabul. But seriously, listen to that answer. It's absolute gibberish. Even more so than before, Trump is that stupid kid who didn't do the reading but gets called on in class. He even doubles down on Bagram.

I'm so old, I can remember when Joe Biden was too impaired to run for president.

I had a hunch his mushy, smooth brained idiocy would be amplified by the revivifying of his PTSD from being rushed off the golf course on Sunday. There's such a thing as cognitive load, which is how much your brain can handle in any moment. He's on full tilt right now.

Oh, and needless to say, the Times and Post have no stories on this, because Sean Combs got arrested.
