I can picture him doing the whole Dr. Phibes bit with the organ and everything.

The outright corruption is breathtaking and will be studied for decades to come.

“Because it is such an open sewer of an arrangement, this is the most soul-sucking, despicable, and scandalous transaction ever conducted by a head of state not named Borgia. It dwarfs all the scandals in this country’s history—Whiskey Ring, Crédit Mobilier, Teapot Dome, Watergate, Iran–Contra. It puts in the shade all the grifting and double-dealing and outright theft that democracy is heir to. Boss Tweed was a piker compared to this guy, and John Mitchell was a Franciscan monk.”

Today: “Trump’s latest scheme will go down as the most disgusting in American history.”

Next month: “What was that thing again he did last month that we thought was the most disgusting thing ever? Remind me …”

well we are due for some new craziness from Trump in the next day or two. The market has been sliding for several days and West Tx Intermediate is almost at $104.

He's actually more concerned about his $1.776 Billion payoff to January 6 felons than how gas prices affect law abiding folks

I just love how the public falls for these non-sequitor arguments. *if* you actually could prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon with all this noise, they you could argue about the value of that vs gas prices. But the premise is false. We couldn't prevent Pakistan from developing a weapon, we couldn't stop India from developing a weapon, we couldn't even stop N. Korea from developing a weapon. If a country as large and well educated and financial sound as Iran wants a weapon, they will get it. They could already have had one by now it they had really wanted a program that was more than a bargaining chip for them.

The objective truth is the only real way to stop Iran from eventually developing a weapon is for them to decide they don't need one - that the costs aren't worth the payoff. You sure as heII don't accomplish that by attacking them constantly.

I legitimately wonder how much of this will go toward the establishment of a nationwide militia answerable only to him, for which they will have ready-to-go recruits who are at least somewhat battle-tested.
