Deep gray-cloudy, ominous skies this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re in the aftermath of an AR and the ground is most-likely way-close to being saturated with rainwater. The downpour stopped a few hours ago, but looks/feels like it could start back up any minute.
Reportedly, in for a breather for the next couple of days, coupled with getting-colder temperatures. Seasons suck when it’s shitty weather (although we do need the rain).
Scrolling the news cycle and the face-off the T-Rump makes for an emotional diarrhea-like experience.
Noah Berlatsky nailed the do-do:
The point being: Trump has always been shockingly ignorant and often wildly untethered from reality. His major entry point into politics was some 15 years ago as a proponent of the utterly false, racist birther theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the US. He lies pathologically all the time—even, famously, about the weather at his first inauguration. It’s entirely in character for him to lie about the results of an MRI; for that matter it’s entirely in character for him to lie about undergoing an MRI. He may vaguely think an MRI is special and cool and have decided it would be impressive to claim he had undergone one. Or he may really just not pay much attention during his physical because he prefers to think about how awesome he is; someone told him at some point he’d gotten an MRI and that stuck in his head even though he wasn’t sure which test that meant. This is someone who thinks Americans need to show ID to buy groceries; he does not in general even minimally know what’s going on.
We’re caught in a surreal moment:
They probably mean it as a joke, but it is definitely possible for the right price.

Blubber time:
Trump is ranting barely coherently to McDonald's franchise owners: "The one pilot said, 'skedaddle!' And that thing just turned on its side — pppph. And it's so unbelievable. And that knocked out Iran nuclear capability."
Earlier today:
man — Trump sounds like shit today
Aaron Rupar does a most-excellent and heroic job covering the asshole.
Plus another angle:
He’s losing it.

As does Fillipkowski.
Awful illustration from last night of our current time zone:
Read the story — here and here.
Diarrhea shit looks like way-bad shit.
However, the truth has eyes:
Sucks to be us, or not, yet once again here we are …
The image out front is my favorite of the T-Rump mugs. However, ‘favorite‘ does not mean in any form or fashion, as in ‘my favorite movie’ or ‘my favorite song.’ It’s more of an anti-appreciation/like.
And aptly titled, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit Leong (and found here), it’s an image that displays the elemental form of a purloined sociopath — a bloated profile of flatulent bile and arrogant ignorance.
