Of course, we're talking about a punk who could not even capitalize on an ACTUAL congressional recess to make his Supreme Court appointment AFTER suffering 7 years of obstruction.

Thanks, Obama...

This DOES raise the intriquing backward glance to those days when the Presidency and the House were both in Democratic hands, and Mitch McConnell was ramping up his one-term president campaign of unconscionable obstructionism.

Evidently, his resume of Con Law Prof notwithstanding, it did not occur to President Putz that this gambit did, in fact, accrue to a frusteated President whose party controlled the House.

Huh? We're gonna leave The Donald with the veneer of Tom and Daisy? I object. That was a whole different world, certainly not as awful as the present

Apparently he embellished on the meme today (I didn't listen, switched to BBC News), Slate has a summary:

Populist wing of the GOP is agitating to support Trump "aspirationalism"?

A telling sign that official GOP in Michigan is aligning itself with this stuff. https://t.co/whFB1hsWxv

I'd say: you want to go back to work? Fine, but it has to be in grocery stores, food processing plants, picking and packing on farms, transport and delivery of essential goods, or janitorial in health care and you gotta sign a release that you'll be responsible for any results on your health.

follow the thread here--makes a good point about the Drumpf's desires to open ASAP is putting the Santorum and Hollingsworth types between a rock and a hard place with the reliably voting AARP demographic

Hollingsworth is going to become one of those phrases like "Santorum" https://t.co/ukFtn6x4LX

I think this one I just ran across is good too, think it's one "obvious" that we need to continually remind ourself of:

To state the obvious, he always wanted to be a TV star. He sees these press conferences as his main response to the crisis, rather than just a chance to report on the work he's doing to respond to the crisis.

I think I will keel over in shock if the Drumpf character somewhere along the line expresses some kind of sympathy about those who have experienced death of family or friends. It would be breaking character!

Good one. Bottom line, 'total

Good one. Bottom line, 'total authority ' comes with, in Trump's case, total culpability.

In reply to yeah I agree. He does damage

The Gatsby quote is right on. I have been to that party and know that it still rages on.

The whole market of "what is happening in the background" is a coverup to some degree. The emphasis on the doddering fool element puts too much focus on his process. He has shown that he is really skillful at certain tasks. He has also shown that he never advanced his education beyond a Seventh grade level. Nothing pleases him more than to have people think he does not know his limitations.

He does not have a clue how to manage something to serve purposes outside of his own but he spent a lifetime learning how to have them serve him. He outsources the former except when it interferes with the latter. It is a method.
