Remember that there was puzzlement about why Trump suddenly appointed a person in the pentagon in January. Now we know why. That’s the only way he works. Appointments to people with complete loyalty to him. So Cheeto Velveeto was that desperate that he cooked up this plot—it’s gonna be wild. And he was delighted to watch the chaos unfold…

And he was delighted to watch the chaos unfold...and the governors of Texas and Mississippi are willing to unleash more strains of Covid on their people and hence the rest of us to stay on his good side—Neanderthal fascists indeed. We’re in trouble for sure.
For sure— I remember reading an editorial in Nytimes by David Brooks saying he had been invited to a party at Cheeto’s glossy palace and he felt like he was surrounded by gangs tag types.
Stuart, hopefully you're not mocking zoot-suit wearers. Their outfits looked strange in the 1940s and now, but it was a significant statement of ethnic culture among Hispanics. Their expression of cultural pride brought frequent assaults and harassment from police and residents in CA. As of 2020 it was still illegal to wear zoot suits in LA.

I just don’t think he was smart enough to figure that out all on his own. I smell Stephen Miller, big time.
And perhaps Steve Bannon. I understand they still talk.
Didn’t they always appear to be shady looking guys???
Bannon is the picture of Dorian Gray, his sins indelibly marked on his face.
Was that the Dorian Gray; Penny Dreadful or the figment of Oscar Wilde's vivid imagination. Somehow i think that Bannon would vote for the former.

It's Oscar, and also the 1945 film. I barely know anything about penny dreadfuls after their 19C heyday.
BTW many thanks for yesterday's French history list. Some are familiar, many are future pleasures.

HA!
It’s amusing but I think at a certain age we all have sin etchings—Bannon’s are just way obvious as are Cheeto velveto’s indescribable petulant scowl
Sins, as well as, perhaps, large quantities of alcohol and tobacco.
Rather obvious I think.
Oh yes and Trump too! Ask New Yorkers on the later but.......
And Roger Stone, perhapst to work with the radical talk show hosts to spread disinformation?
He sure is a special case..I wouldn’t buy a used anything from that interesting flamboyant human being.
And other squirmy cockroaches
And remember that Bannon has never been far out of the picture.
Miller, and Putin working the marionette strings.
Oui oui oui tres vite aussi 🤌🏻
I agree!
Me too! Me too!
I almost wished I could have been at this bash.
But almost treated it as if it was a schoolboy prank! He really doesn't understand the forces he was playing toy soldiers with.
Way past time for the school yard bully to suffer consequences for his imbicilic actions. Cheeto velveeto, love this
Me too cuz our anti hero Cheeto is by far the cheesiest oui oui???
Oui! And the stinkiest one of them all, at that!
You said it Laureen.
No kidding and the word I was trying to peck out was gangstas
I get a vision of guys in Loud, striped suits with wide lapels and built up shoulders.
Sounds like Roger Stone.

Zoot alors! Which is a polite alternative to "oh dear!"
Kudos for a bilingual pun, S. Here's another from my semester in France.
What is a dolphin?
Le premier fils du roi de France.
I think he fully understood. tRump has no conscience.
Putin developed those character reading skills in the KGB and he was clearly the dominant one in that bromance
