Ante Up!

On January 20th Trump pledged: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

It turns out that Trump has no real Ability except to fleece and extort. That's pretty clear.

We might need to rewrite that pledge to make it skosh more specific.

Dear MAGA;

If Trump is not the literal personification of your definition of The Swamp, then what the effing eff IS The Swamp?

Yours truly, Americans Who Think You're All Effing Idiots

This right-wing media freakout over James Comey's "86 47", their interpretation of "86" to mean "Kill the president", is hilarious in light of objective evidence indicating that the giant orange weasel faked his own assassination attempt last summer.

Besides, whenever I think of Trump I don't think of the number "86". He's more of a "666".

Russian women, wives of the rich, are having babies in Trump hotels for the express purpose of giving them American birthright citizenship.

Which is odd because the Trump administration is before the Supreme Court today trying to change the way birthright citizenship functions. Why would Trump want to kill his lucrative business?

As I understand it, Trump's idea is to have the 14th Amendment overturned by a conservative SCOTUS and force immigrants to sue the government on a class-action basis to give their children citizenship. This is almost impossible for an immigrant family.... unless you happen to be a Russian plutocrat with lots of money to pay lawyers and judges.

Get it?
