How can one single human being possess, or rather not possess any redeeming qualities whatsoever? I say, Up your nose with a rubber hose. And I have no idea what that means. It just feels like an appropriate sentiment for the moment. Thanks God for being here on our side.
tRump is a useful idiot who is just a puppet. Koch Brothers and other private big donors are the ones who fund Leonard Leo and are the ones who are pulling the strings. tRump is biting the hand that feeds him and that will not end well for him. The bigger issue is how tRump was able to rise to power in the first place. tRump is a symptom of a disease that is rotting our democracy. That disease is BIG MONEY in politics which all traces back to the 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court ruling that ruled money is free speech. We have to put this genie back in its bottle and deep-six it so it can never rise again to destroy our democracy. For the back story, I suggest "The Master Plan" podcast which traces how this all began after Nixon resigned and how the Republicans put into motion a long-play plan to use big money to take control.
Well, in gamer parlance, the Lawful Evil sorts take a long-term view, which is why it's often difficult to be effective against them. X-P
"Gamer parlance" = DnD and similar role-playing games, where character behavior is often determined by alignment, consisting of two parts: the Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic columns and the Good/Neutral/Evil rows. The interactions produce nine alignments, like a tic-tac-toe grid. Those on the Lawful axis tend to think long-term; think what's best for people (not necessarily what's "good") is a group; are big believers in tradition, law, order, hierarchies, etc.; tend to immediately categorize people into one or more groups upon meeting them, and so on.
The Neutral axis tends to look at the other part of the alignment, for Good, Evil, or Neutrality, and what's important are those aspects. Neutral Good folks work with commoners and kings equally; they like a strong-enough government to make sure the streets are clean, the fires put out, the mail delivered and the schools working, but don't tread on personal rights; etc.
Neutral-Neutral, or True Neutral, are often animals, etc. that aren't sentient enough to choose one way or another. It's tough for a sentient not to have an opinion on something, one way or another. ;-)
Neutral Evils are scary in that they /might/ sign and even adhere to a contract one day, or month, or year, and promptly discard it the moment it's no longer useful to them ("Evil is all." "The cruelty is the point." etc.). Lots of CEOs are depicted in fiction (and in courtroom proceedings) as NE. Lawful Evils wouldn't break contracts (but they're masters of loopholes, especially if they screw people over) and Chaotic Evils wouldn't sign on in the first place.
The Chaotic axis is pretty much the polar opposite of the Lawful one; even Chaotic Good, like hippies or most elves, are like, "Do whatever you want, dude, as long as you don't hurt anyone else or the environment." Chaotic Neutrals are like the original Han Solo in the first Star Wars movie, who did almost a Heel/Face Turn by the end of it.
Chaotic Evils are mostly "government means I'm on top of the heap until someone stronger pushes me off." Orcs are typically considered Chaotic Evil; Bellatrix Lestrange would definitely qualify.
I think Trump has moved from Neutral Evil to Chaotic Evil, since no one can really predict what he's going to do any more, other than something evil. :-/
Having a belief that Leonard Leo is a sleaze bag, as he said, and knowing that those Supreme Court Justices who have benefited greatly from having Leonard Leo in their corner, so to speak, can only mean that Trump is going to dig for the dirt, and use it to delegitimize any actions the Supreme Court would take against him, all for being bought and sold by a sleaze bag. The Supreme Court, under these circumstances must go to the moral compass repair shop for repair.
There are quite a few lower court judges who answer to Leonard Leo as well. He’s a whole other league than Cheeto Chump’s repugnant invertebrates…big time vs amateur hour. Koko, my intuition agrees with yours. Going after Leo won’t end well for CC.
Me too! And I am going to use “TACO Leader Is Filled with Bullshit” on my June 14th protest sign. Let Pam Bondi come and arrest me. (She has said that anyone who calls him “Taco” will be arrested!) I say, “Come at me, Bitch! I will show you what this old woman is made of!”
Henceforth, "Taco Supreme Leader" shall be the stylebook standard for citing the words of That Creature. So let it be written, so let it be done, sí sí sí!
Never in a million billion years would I have expected that a TACO could be such a moronic, insecure, bully and hopeless POS, but you, O Lord, have proved it! Thank you. Keep up this heavenly work. Amen!
Thanks for the laughter, I've needed some for quite a while and have gotten from several people on here. I love the Taco, Taco Man thing as well. It's truly appropriate for the leader that gives and takes away the next day. Is it possible that maybe just maybe he "forgets" what he's done and then sees what's going on and walks it back, rather than the fear of more felonies being add to his long list?
I consider the fact that a meme about food originally from Mexico be Trump's undoing to be hilarious. He has targeted brown and black people with discrimination his entire life. Being branded as a TACO is poetic justice. Maybe that's why he's so pissed, he is now associated with the people he hates the most, non-white people. For him, there couldn't be a bigger insult. Go TACO!

It refers to being force-fed with a catheter through the nose into the stomach. See ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.’
It was also a snarky epithet used by the Sweathogs on Welcome Back, Kotter. 😏
I loved that show! Thanks for the reminder!!👹
Me too, Rachel! So funny. Thankfully it still pops up in syndication sometimes.
My favorite!
Well now I know thank you.
😂😂
“up your nose with a rubber hose”. 🤭🫢😄😂🤣. Love it!
Now I know why my darling Mum used to say “God give me strength” when life was rough. You not only give me that but laughter too!
I love what you did with “Taco Supreme” 🤩
Can we also talk about him referring to himself in the third person…. Is that part of dementia? It’s so fucking weird.
Well, there's always the "imperial We" that hereditary monarchs used... X-P
"We are not amused."
"Welcome to Our kingdom."
etc., etc., etc.
(BTW, didn't we fight a war awhile back, nearly 250 years ago, to GET RID OF DIPSHITS LIKE THOSE ruling over us?!)
IMO, 5 of the SCOTUS judges answer to Leonard Leo, not TACO. I was shocked to see him attack Leo. Intuition tells me this won't end well for POTUS.

Wow! I never knew such theory existed. Thanks for sharing. My D&D daughter will appreciate it, too.
I really, really hope you are right.

It sounds like he's digging his own grave. Praise be.
I am LOVING all of the taco memes!!!
Me too! And I am going to use “TACO Leader Is Filled with Bullshit” on my June 14th protest sign. Let Pam Bondi come and arrest me. (She has said that anyone who calls him “Taco” will be arrested!) I say, “Come at me, Bitch! I will show you what this old woman is made of!”
Definitely using tacos in my sign, “No TACO. No Kings”.
I really like that slogan!
Amen! :)
To paraphrase a Russian quote from WWII: "They can't arrest all 200 million of us." ;-)
So true!
You sure gave me a big smile this morning! Thanks!
Now! Taco Loco starts its own subcategory of pseudonyms.
Thank God!

¡Olé!
Some of those chicken meme melds are so - accurate? - I don't know whether to laugh, be afraid or throw up. . .
Never in a million billion years would I have expected that a TACO could be such a moronic, insecure, bully and hopeless POS, but you, O Lord, have proved it! Thank you. Keep up this heavenly work. Amen!
Have little faith in the Supreme Court. They give us an inch but take a mile.
For a good time listen to 'Get Your Taco Gear Hear' by John D. Cundle.
Go Canada.
Is that on YouTube? :D
I gotta see that... ;)
EDIT: OmiYou! Oh, thanks for that, David; that was awesome. X-D
U-Tube it is.
Cundle has been busy. There are lots more along with our own Jesse Welles and the Marsh Family out of the U.K.
