Stop asking what right he has. He doesn't feel bound by laws or or conventions or morals, and never has. He just does things, and he does them until somebody stops him. Stalin probably never said, "Fuck the pope; how many divisions does he have?" But I bet he thought it. And so does this guy.

I hate the psychopath, but I don't blame him. He is exactly who he has always been. I blame the voters who worship him and the toadies who enable him.

How could anybody have expected this kind of behavior, other than paying attention to any single day of the man's life?

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Unless you're boycotting, this is a good time to buy from indie authors on Amazon. October's the last month with sales paying out in 2025. Payments hit on Dec. 29, giving your faves some much-needed end-of-year income!

By what right? By the right that no one has stopped him yet.

The under-reported corollary to Catch-22 is that you have the right to do whatever other people can't or won't stop you from doing.

It's the logical end-point of the road where you elect a petty mobster to be your president.

Public Service is supposed to mean that you serve the public, not that the public serves you.

Everything is legal, moral, and beyond reproach when done by you and your team.
