Like Rust (And Roughly The Same Color), Trump Never Sleeps

Ol' Buster took a week or so off for some travel and family fun, but Trumpistopheles kept the wheels of his daily horror show turning.  A few recent highlights/lowlights (so many, it's hard to keep up):

Slimeball EPA Director Scott Pruitt was forced out, finally.  While doing all he could to destroy environmental protections, Pruit was a daily "emblem of  rot; one-stop shopping for the gaudy marriage of unprofessionalism and amorality that defines this presidency.  A heedless, shameless bureaucrat."  (Frank Bruni, NYT, 7/8/18.)  His interim replacement, Andrew Wheeler, has the exact same destructive policies, but will be more discreet about his desires for Chick-fil-A franchises and used Trump matresses.

Trump went to Montana to supposedly help some Republican candidate, but turned it into yet another Rally All About Himself -- slobbering, stream of consciousness, racist, misogynist brain farts filled with lies, insults, demagoguery and horseshit.

• The fake prez declared he and Lil Kim "signed a wonderful paper saying they're going to denuclearize their whole thing."  (OMG, he actually thinks he negotiated a nuclear treaty with North Korea.  No, dude -- a nuclear treaty is that Iran deal you wiped your ass with then flushed.  What an idiot!  And "a wonderful paper"?  He-he!)
• Don the Con said "Democrats want anarchy.  They want MS-13 to run wild in our communities."  (That's what I want, don't you?  SMH.)
• "Maxine Waters is low-IQ -- somewhere in the mid-60's.  I believe that."  (And I believe Auntie Maxine would smoke his orange ass in any authentic IQ test.  And she'd show her tax returns too!)  

And at 9 tonight, in a really big shoe, the Abominable Showman will reveal his SCOTUS nomination.  The media have slavishly played Trump's "keep 'em in suspenders" game -- "He's got three names, no, wait, four!"  Trump finds the dishonest, fake news media useful on occasion, but this will be must-miss TV.  Whoever it is, it'll be an arch-conservative asshole, pre-screened by the Federalist Society.  The process has become a total rip-off farce, and there's not much the Democrats can do about it at the moment.  Where have you gone, Merrick Garland?

That's enough for now.
