“Mr. President, my business could really use $3 million.”
“No, sorry. Can’t do that.”
“Obama wouldn’t help me either.”
“Who do we make the check out to?”
Trump approach to ROK both an insult and national security threat. That any President can arbitrarily set such a demand is outrageous, and should be considered by Congress. In the meantime, those who favor the alliance need to batten down the hatches.

Trash is minor compared to what Elise’s pal Trump calls people.
I see that there is some gnashing of teeth, and quite a bit of confusion, over what Obama allegedly said at a fundraiser about going too far “left”, etc.
It’s probably too much to expect, but I had hoped that the Democratic party activists would be a bit more sophisticated than the Trumpers.
Obama in private is erudite; public persona have to be dumbed down. So if Obama in private is giving a lengthy discussion, I expect it to be nuanced with a lot of pros and cons for any talking point.
Obama himself I always thought was a bit conservative, quite the opposite of the hate-right who wanted to characterize him as some sort of communist radical.
The reality is that one has to get elected, and in a country dominated by superstition and ancient beliefs, we have to deal with the reality that a strict modernist is going to be in a minority. Thus we need to find ways of triangulating between poles in the polity.

On a related topic: does anyone here subscribe to TPM Prime? I’m always on the verge of doing it. What stops me (and I know how stupid this sounds) is I had a few interactions in the readership forums with members who can only be described as toxic masculinity assholes.
I happened to wander into a discussion on a article written by a woman who was criticizing Joe Biden’s tendency to be a little too hands-on with women he meets. The regulars were basically being all “Little lady, you’re just overreacting. I can’t believe TPM published this.”
I agreed with the author and got accused of being a “white knight”, aka, a guy who defends a woman only so he can sleep with her. Among other things.

An annual physical takes about 30 minutes to complete.
The commute from the White House to Walter Reed is 35-40 minutes. Let’s say 25 minutes for a motorcade with a police escort.

My peak weight was probably 260 and at 5’11” I still never looked as fat as Trump. Now part of that is I also have a large frame so I carried it well but I was still obese.

While it would be a blow to his ego to do it, I could see him more readily resigning for “medical reasons” than anything else.
The biggest obstacle is that just don’t see him trusting Pence to pardon him after resigning. I mean, I wouldn’t.
But yeah, it would definitely play well with a certain element of the cult how Trump sacrificed everything including his health and the Democrats were just so unfair and mean that his body finally gave out under the stress of MAGAing so hard.
re: #108 goddamnedfrank
My peak weight was probably 260 and at 5’11” I still never looked as fat as Trump. Now part of that is I also have a large frame so I carried it well but I was still obese. I began the year at around 250 lbs and at my February doctor’s appointment I weighed in at 243, nine months of diet and exercise later I’m sitting exactly at 200 lbs with plans to slowly lose another twenty.

Trump’s problem is his greatest current strength, that he does in fact lead a cult. But it’s not his cult and not exactly Trump per se that the cult worships, but power. These same fucks loved Bush right up until the point where he wasn’t powerful and worshiping him wasn’t useful anymore. A small, possibly significant faction will continue to treat Trump like a God, but most on the right will move on and retcon their past support as simply necessary to own the libs.

I think you’re half right: but I don’t recall GW Bush ever getting made quite the object of political “worship” as The Orange Anus has (and carefully crafted his PR to bolster it). I think a lot of it is that Dubya, for all his manifold failings - and they were/are completely goddamn manifold - based his “appeal” such as it was on exploiting the national freakout over 9/11 mainly in the service of foreign-policy goals*. Trump, OTOH, as we’ve seen, doesn’t give a crap about foreign affairs, except as ego-boosting: his political “appeal” is grounded almost exclusively in domestic issues. Unfortunately for the country, the main “issue” he flogs at every opportunity is fundamentally anger and resentment that racism/white-supremacy/ethnonationalism, inextricably linked with inflexible religious fanaticism, is no longer a dominating operating system for this country. The segment of the populace that buys into this extremist viewpoint is sadly, too large to ignore: and moreover, has invested (at least AFAICT) a lot more psychic energy in the notion of Trump As Savior than in prior years.
I think a lot of the Right will “move on”; but I think there will still be a large group “out there” unwilling to accept their Gilded God-Emperor being tossed out on his ass - or even resigning - without at least thinking of resorting to violence to make their disappointment known. I really hope I’m wrong, though.
* I never got the feeling, frex, that Dubya was particularly bigoted or hateful in terms of policy (viz. his failed immigration-reform proposals): for Trump, OTOH, the hate is all he’s really got.

Just dropping in after a nice afternoon out in Hollywood. Got our portion of glaring, threatening homeless guy, unasked for boob exposure from some local woman, high as hell. And street characters. oh my. Anyway made our way from the subway to the Cinerama Dome to see Ford V Ferrari. Alexa Large Format digital looked great in the dome room. Amazing sound excellent editing and a grand American story. American ingenuity at a peak of technology for the day. Intense character story really well played. Christian Bale, John Bernthal, Matt Damon and Caitriona Riona Balfe. Can I go again, please?
I’m old enough to remember watching a lot of this on ABC sports back then. The Ford GT. Loud brash and faster than everything.

(One of my biggest pet peeves are people who think they “work out” by playing golf. It’s barely activity- just look at Jack Nicklaus’s gut. It’s like saying, “of course I exercise! I play darts!”)
(ETA: I will admit that some of my opinion is colored by the class divisions that informed the sport when I was growing up in a highly economically stratified area. There were basically two classes: those who golfed, because their very well off parents could pay for such things, and those who were left spending their time in shity public “parks”, hoping they could avoid trouble from the police or the gangs for at least one more day. I have similar problems with skiing, but I promise I’ll try and keep a lid on that for the sake of the enthusiasts hereabouts. ;) )
