Interesting article, but I was thinking about the reference to Napoleon’s army “barely engaging” the Russians. What about the Battle of Borodino? Major clash, massive casualties.

I wish Jane Goodall (RIP) were still alive, so she could use Trump as an example of how similar we are, not only genetically but also behaviorally, to our cousins the chimpanzees. “No Kings” clearly rattled Trump, so his volatile chimp ego compels him to fling his feces in a dominance display.

If only Jane Goodall were still alive to explain how Trump’s feces flinging is a manifestation of his chimpanzee-like personality: the No Kings demonstrations clearly made him anxious, so he’s trying to display dominance by throwing his poop.

Spokesman Steven Cheung’s sycophantic statement reminds me of Lord Humungus’s Toadie in “The Road Warrior.” Is Trump now also the “Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla?”

That you had to do this is a clear sign that appeasement of the Trump regime is now “paramount” for your present employer, not speaking truth to power

When I was a student in NYC, Fabio sat behind me & girlfriend (now wife) at matinee of Hot Shots Part Deux. He was flanked by 2 ladies & wearing Eurotrashy leather jumpsuit. Had no idea who he was (pre-internet), but folks in front of us started whispering, then lean over us to shake Fabio’s hand

So, the Washington Post’s goal is to become a bland, middle market, Middle America, soft serve-and-Wonderbread newspaper? Doesn’t Gannett already dominate that market?
