Retired systems administrator. Likes to play with words. I'd be shocked if I ever said anything useful.

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment.

The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult.

It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.

Until then, they're all to blame.

Its trivially easy for a morally-diseased malignant narcissist pathological liar with delusions of royalty and a coterie of sycophantic oligarchs to steal and bribe to spend everyone else’s money on flighty whims if they have the implicit support of a sniveling pack of politicians of bad faith.

Doesn’t the Department of Defense accepting anonymous donations outside legal channels make every US soldier a mercenary whether they agreed to be or not?

Anything that was in the East Wing either had a price Trump could pocket or they were worthless to him, and that's all that mattered to him.
Anyone check to see if the plaque is still at the FDR Memorial?

What happened to all the art, furniture and priceless historical treasures that were in the East Wing?

Did Trump just give it away to his buddies? Is it at Mar-a-Lago? Did Jared and Ivana just help themselves to it?

No one knows

You know it shouldn’t be just R’s who get to “flood the zone”. Even better when its not shit being flooded.
If the US disintegrates because of Trump, the R’s and MAGA, I’m sure Putin will feel bound to generously offer us all Russian passports in return.
I’m confident Trump would have still tried to do all this in the absence of SCOTUS-granted immunity because he doesn’t give a f*ck and feels entitled but there would have been a lot more pushback and fewer complicit toadies willing to risk prosecution later.
I’m sure the R’s can’t understand what the problem is, they know the first lady doesn’t need offices, just a big kitchen in the back of the ballroom where she can keep her trap shut and make hors d’oeuvres for the oligarchs.
If he wins the Dem primary won’t all the Nazi-adjacent R’s in ME vote for him too because they like the cut of his tattoo jib? Could become a blowout general election.
Can Dems play that game too?

Also Trump never pays for anything.

Also Trump always gets a taste -- who knows how overinflated the economics of his vanity ballroom are, with the difference passed under the WH residence door?

When he's done it will be a gold-paint encrusted shed with a cash bar and per-plate minimum donations.

Norms & duct tape. That's all the Republic has turned out to be, because the laws & the Constitution do not enforce themselves. There are about 30 people in Washington who can fix this. We should stop giving them free passes all day every day & laser-focus on getting them to do their damn jobs.
It is incredibly difficult to get folks to understand that there are literally 20-30 people in DC who could end all of this tomorrow, & all of them are Republicans in Congress, & no one in the National Conversation seems interested in paying attention to that.
NYT article just quoted Trump today: "And I will tell you, there are a lot of good Democrats that really want to make a deal, and all we need is five Democrats.”

In a sane world that would just mark *any* Democrats who cave as complicit in the destruction of our democracy as the Trump regime.
If there were even a hint of retaining anything of the East Wing before demolition, I'd expect a long delay needed for setting up barricades and dust barriers, capping utilities, identifying what will be protected, stabilization measures. None of that happened. Did they even remove anything first?
