While not yet recognized formally as an adjective in the English language, this president's vulgar, autocratic ephemera might eventually be referred to as Caligulan (following the standard pattern in English for turning proper names into adjectives, especially historical figures). Yo, OED, keep up

And folks want to go back to the FIFTIES!!!!

The Shady Doth DOdGE Too Much: The Pentagon failed its audit for the 17th consecutive year, and an estimated $824 billion of its FY 2024 $2 trillion defense budget couldn’t be fully accounted for. This means roughly 41% of the budget lacks sufficient financial documentation or oversight.

Were it not for my grandchildren I'd probably be hip deep into an awful depression:

Lies unchallenged accrue the weight of Truth.

Please be mindful to support media that upholds your values (This from Wired Magazine):.

And our verb for today girls and boys is cower; as in, "we must not cower morally, in the face of authoritarianism and injustice."

As "DOdGiE Analytica's" open-air security breach at Treasury steams along, it looks like much ballyhooed draconian tariffs are on. No wait, wait; everybody got your trades in? OK, no, just jokibg, no Tariffs.

I've been fighting a week long battle with an annoying cold. So..., just fooling around with Chat GPT until the Coricidin:

Driven seemingly by an undifferentiated contempt for civil society, the overly ambitious scale of the Trump-Musk assault on government is dissolving the delicate, interstitial cohesion within and among agencies; and this before any consideration of its reckless execution.

Although for many the cult of personality surrounding Elon has shifted, owing to his more public identification with Far Right views and politicians; as is typical of so-called "self-made men," much about his background remains carefully unplumbed.

I was never very active on Twitter (Twitter was, X ain’t in my world), but that said, Admins, let me know if I cross any lines:

I agree that it is a national disgrace that CEOs should have to go about life in fear of random violence, like my granddaughter going to school.

One cannot speak of this as a presidential “administration,” really. For the moment at least, what we have is a lone, begrudged old man flanked by impudent toadies, recklessly trying to shoehorn a nation into his anachronistic, mid-Century delusions of history.

Let me get this straight: amidst Earth’s “burn baby burn” death throes, a self-absorbed wing-nut calls global warming the greatest hoax in history, with campaign promises to “drill baby drill;” but corporate media turns its cold blue gaze on funding decisions of LA County officials?🤦🏽‍♂️.

As we gird our spirits for another descent into the abyss of immoral political ephemera, being creative and learning new things will be key for me.
