When the next edition of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations rolls off the press, who will be credited with these nuggets?
"I know nothing about it,"
"We'll see what happens."
"In about two weeks."

I see there was a big gathering of the Slow Learners Association in the Poconos this evening. The headliner had no new material, and he was just phoning in the greatest hits. Sad!

Why do I suspect that the only copy of the Constitution in the White House is on a roll next to a gold toilet?

Just curious: why does Trump attract thin-lapped males (Stephen Miller , Russell Vought) and fat-lipped females (Laura Loomer, Kristi Noem)?

I decided not to sign this letter to the White House
Dear Dr. Trump,
I saw your press conference yesterday and recognized you even without your scrubs and stethoscope. Can you treat my diarrhea and running sores? My high fever is probably because I'm living in the hottest country in the world.

All those who believe in The Rapture are welcome to be swept up tomorrow. I'd say that I'll continue on in the even tenor of my ways except that the going has been pretty uneven lately. Not really because of them, but the idiot heathen they worship.

"Trump Tried to Kill the Infrastructure Law. Now He’s Getting Credit for Its Projects."
New York Times headline. You'd think that The Paper of Record would hire people who can tell the difference between GETTING and TAKING..

Baconface and Pompadour may be "fit" for the camera, but they are totally unfit for their day jobs.

For all the talk about ridding the country of DEI poison, why did Trump elect to have the FBI run by an Indian-American and a Simian-American?

I just realized that whereas other presidents have had cabinets, Trump has henchmen.

Trump seems to have completed his Holy Trinity, the articles of faith that all followers have to acknowledge: There was The Perfect Call, followed by The Rigged Election, and now The PERFECT FLIGHT.

While Hegseth and RFK Jr. have their cage match to determine the most ludicrous Trump cabinet member, don't count Tulsi Gabbard out. Her weird infomercial about nuclear peril looks like a grab for the crown. Who knew that Trump wanted Cassandra as DNI, and -- Russian interests aside -- why?

Time to resurrect an old phrase? The Ugly American was a 1958 novel about our failures abroad that added a phrase to the language. Does it ever apply now! To start off, Trump himself embodies ugliness, both physically and morally. All his appointees are ugly, and he has made us an ugly nation.

Watching Gabbard and Ratliffe testify today I had to wonder why two such vacant and passive nonentities were included in an important phone discussion. I then wondered how and why they got their jobs in the first place.

I just noticed that Trump has both a spokesbimbo (Karoline Leavitt) and a spokesgoon (Steven Cheung).

An expression from my college days for a total mess came back to me, and considering Trump's esteem for Victor Orban, it seems apt: Elon Musk's DOGE project is a perfect Hungarian Cluster Fuck.

I decided last night that Congressional Republicans come in two varieties: the Criminal Caucus, that thinks that Trump is a great president, and the Pussy Caucus, that recognizes bad behavior but is afraid to speak up. A complication: some members -- hi, Speaker Johnson! -- seem to be both.

A random observation on the faces of the Trump administration: the men mostly look like thugs (take a bow, Tom Homan), and the women mostly look like tarts (I'm looking at you, Kristi Noem)
