Nah... he hasn't got time to stiff the taxpayers. Quite the opposite, what with that regulatory-reduction thing that is creating boom times because taxpayers' expenses doing business are now much lighter, with the prospect of getting lighter still. This is what running government like business looks like, and it looks good. (Fascists don't like the view... beg to return to the bad old ways.)

Apparently you can't feel the boom. Inattentive of you.

That doesn't oblige me not to feel it. That does not hide from my sight all the Help Wanted signs I see all over Oxnard -- where I didn't see any before -- that would be during the time of that Obama guy I didn't ever vote for. I'm a smart fellow, and pat myself on the back for it, after doing some suitable stretches to limber up. Need 'em at my age. Really I do.

Really Bruce, you patronizable wreck of a wannabe pundit, it will help ever so much if you stop getting the Democratic Party confused with America. The two are quite distinct. Real America, not your dumbunny bubble, is swollen even larger, while Team Democrat is lame and impotent. (Sexually undesirable too.)

I am uncomfortable with how the Democrats have forgotten how to American, and how in their group folly they push socialism. And for that matter how to even be democratic, what with that "impeachment first, offense later if ever" attitude of our precious Dem national leadership. Might Public Enema No. 1 help cure their syndrome? Or do we allot them to traveling sideshows under canvas -- and the heading of "grotesqueries?"

He certainly does.

Conservatives love to complain about liberals condescending to them, but no ivory tower liberal elite avocado-eating college professor will ever come up with a phrase that is more condescending than calling one subset of America "real America".

Do you self-declare you are (perhaps self-) excluded from this, ah, subset? Jealous, much?

I like avocados, either halved and eaten lightly salted out of the rind with a spoon, or beat up into killer guac. And avocado toast with a fried egg.

I am free of invidiousness as well as of prejudice. Emulate me and feel, even be, both happier and more intelligent. Beats bouncing on a Pilates ball to fuck yourself the deeper.

Condescention is your only trick.

Well, other than being really impressed with himself.

You miss the point. The Central Committee of the Communist Party has ordered us what to think. He is simply reciting the incantation.

Another allegory that we should all know to be truth. He told us. How can you deny it? ( A few dozen facts and citations must be wrong.)

Clearly we are all reading the wrong books.

We were ordered what to believe.

I have a better education than them. I am smarter than them. I went to the best schools, they didn’t. Much more beautiful house. Much more beautiful apartment. Much more beautiful everything. And I am the president and they are not.
We must be fools to deny that logic.
