There is no "DJT" who signs cabinet appointees' paycheck. You and I sign their paychecks, they work for *us*. Instead, they bark for the orange guy who gives them doggie treats paid for by others. And the orange guy takes the credit, and is offended if his little dog act is mocked for what it is.

That has been my reaction, just effin' weird.

Wed Jun 14, 2017, 02:50 PM

It is not that they need more money. Money is their crack - it takes more and more just to get the same high.

But what really motivates them about the cabinet position is the power. They will abase themselves to one person if it gives them power over the masses.

Yet most billionaires want to be 2 billionaires and on and on.

I remember Wayne Dyer speaking on always wanting more. He said, "Where is the peace in more?"

These people may have all sorts of money but they don't have happiness. There is a big difference between pleasure, (that money can buy) and happiness.

The fact that it is so obvious is amazing. Couldn't they have covered their tracks a little better? There is no cabinet-level person in the repuglican government that wants this to work. They want it to fail.

When the alarm bells start ringing on a crisis spot around the world or even in the us - will this government even want to respond to preserve the US? I don't think so.

who plan to run our nation out of their greater wisdom for their own benefit, because they are proved to deserve it, and because anyone who can't write a check for his own healthcare is proved to not.

I just refer in talking about them in shorthand as the Kochs because their organization of several hundred megamillionaires and billionaires is the largest, possibly surpassing the GOP in power, and Robert Mercer because he's closest to Rump. But with very little research we could put dozens of names to these Americans, and with more attention hundreds of names.

Note that completely destroying America's economy would not benefit them economically. Restructuring to eliminate almost all taxes and regulation is what they want. And, yes, that would cost them economically, but they also want power and an end to our ability to tell them what to do and to "sponge" off them, as they like to imagine it.

Response from the crusty ones:

We can and we do live all over the world. If we need to make some other spot our preferred center of power, no sweat. We'll move on before the climate and pollution spoils our special world, golf courses, yacht races.

Why shouldn't we just turn most of North America, and then other areas, into "resource centers"? That's been the way of progress for eons - whether capitalism, socialism, communism. It's all just about US!

Fug the locals/indigenous. In 50-200 years they'll all die off because of poor healthcare, no education, introduced drugs. Leave enough of the "trustees" to take care of cleanup. Hire a few techie folks to run the big machines. And then rape, steal, plunder. Feed the raw materials into our automated mills churning out products for our upper class.

I'm sure we will find ways to avoid the end times, at least longer than you poor stupid non-privileged sub-humans.

rule, and most would prefer to rule here. America has half of all the planet's billionaires, and it's not because they couldn't all go live in other of the most desirable places on the planet. They can.

In fact, though they also have homes overseas of course, most reportedly choose to cluster close to each other here, not just the same cities, but the same neighborhoods. Look at Rump and the Kochs. I can see NYC, but Palm Beach and Kansas as the centers of the world for them? Home sweet homes.

For some reason most plutocrats like to live near the sea. Kansas (having lived there) is probably not a good retreat for the richies. Davos, Gstaad, Jackson Hole, Aspen - maybe.

Places like the Himalayan and Tibetan plateaus may be safe from sea level rises for 100s of years.

But don't forget the friendly crowds of people that would like to join the billionaires in their aerie retreats. That's why the upper-crusties have to get rid of as much as the useless population (me and you) as they can before that point.

And, needless to say, they don't need government subsidized, or even guaranteed, insurance. If their homes get swept away, they just instruct their assistants to arrange for an architect, etc., tell all the various underlings just what they want, and return in their private jets when it's done.

And should the seas rise 50 feet or whatever, they'd just move their estates inland to the new coast, buying out and using taxes, zoning, etc., to push out whoever's already there. It's actually happened many times many places over the centuries.

But really, we need to do what our grandparents did and tax and regulate them until we destroy the mega-millionaire and billionaire classes. The callous irresponsibility and extremism of some of them is a huge threat to our democracy and our planet.

He is a creature of habit in may ways, needs the security of what he knows.
Doesn't like to sleep anywhere but his own bed(s), wears same outfits, has same foods, etc. has a pretty indolent lifestyle,
rarely goes anywhere at night with the exception of "must-dos"but does prefer to host galas at Mar-Loco, in bed by 9.
Weekend golf is necessary.

Of a nation torn by warr-(ohhh-oo)
She's far to young to DIE! (really sell it!)
You can see itT in'er eye-igh-ee
She's not yetT...begun to flyyyy
It's time to leT...th'mighty eagle soar
once more-orororororororororororororor...

Chorus:
hLet the EEEeeEeagle soar-ororororororororororororororororor(don't breathe yet it's dramatic)
Like she's NEVER (breathe) swwoaaaaorrororored beforeorororore
(Do this part like that fella in Les Miserables)
From ROCKY COAST to golden shoreororororororororororletthe

Verse 2: (The same, but trickily changing words to really get the metaphor across)
(bring it down now, use the jazz organ)
Thiscountry's far tooyoung...to diiiiiieieieieie...
She's still got a lot of cli-igh-igh-min' to doo-oo-ooh (do not assist riff with hand)
(80% Jean Valjean while blurry flag is superimposed over my face)
And we...We can MAKE IT if we try-high-igh!
Built by toils-n-struggles God has led us through-oo-ooo-ooh
We've fought for freedom dear! Both here and on the distant shore.
(watch this tricky rhyme section)
Paid a price, sacrifice: a price (leave out 'we' if you need to breathe) can't ignororororore!
Ohhhhhhw we're farrrer too young to dieyiyi
We can make it, if we try! (Like 90% Les Miserables)
We've not YET begun to fly
S'time to let ... mighty eeeagle soaroncemoaaarerrrrrRRR (enjoy your rich baritone range)

(Repeat Chorus Twice: Note: check with piano, some of these notes seem flat in this key...I'm scooping them for all I'm worth to take up the slack and make it work but seriously...)

(Repeat last two lines of chorus with plenty of dramatic backphrasing.)

whatever you call it (sure wasn't a cabinet meeting) my thought was, is anybody handing out wet naps so they can wipe their chin?
When my partner came home I had to ask if that has ever happened before. I don't ever remember seeing anything like that before in my life.

Seems to be a daily question in my house these days.

Good. As that craven display of self idolation deserves all the opprobrium that can be heaped on it. That was something Josef Stalin would do,not a real United States President, but since he is Russia's malignant narcissistic stooge it was par for his wretched course.

I've seen half a dozen tweets to this thread already on Twitter today, so we are going to get a lot of views.

Please everyone, pass along your greatest adulations for the Supreme Leader of All Time Everywhere.

How much could those cabinet seats actually be worth when one has to crawl down there into this shithead's private cesspool? At some point the last day or two I actually found myself wondering whether these guys are actually punking this meathead. Some of those inane comments were so off the chain it was like watching a segment from Monty Python's Flying Circus or Goldmember or something. Sheesh. Seriously, how much could being a fucking cabinet member be worth?

Because he hates it. He clearly wants/demands adulation like he got from the slimy cabinet members and Rinse Please. He's making comedy writers' jobs easy, so lay into him!

We should all form a line, get on our knees and wait our turn to be so honored we get to suck his dick.

Hell hasn't frozen over yet and we will continue to LOL at his boorish and unsuccessful attempts to appear successful, accomplished and handsome when he is none of these things..

"Leadership" in his eyes has always been one white man sitting on his ass insisting that underlings tell him he's awesome. Between golf rounds.

This year, in this job, it's not working so well, and is making him a laughingstock.

All his life, he's had his ass kissed longly, lovingly, and deeply. He's addicted to adulation. Put him in an environment with several million people who just LOVE bringing people like him down a peg or two, and some severe shock is bound to set in.

I prescribe TWO buckets of KFC, a WHOLE beautiful chocolate cake (with extra gravy), and an ENTIRE gallon of ice cream. Administer twice daily.

When the mangled-apricot hell-beast has a meltdown over such a perceived insult, she's probably the one who has to endure his tantrum (and possibly abuse, verbal or otherwise). And this could explain why she delayed moving to 1600 for as long as she could.

Me? I have no pity for this particular bird-in-a-gilded-cage. "For better or WORSE. In (mental) sickness and health..." Vows have consequences. She could -- and should -- escape with Barron to a safe place. I hear Slovenia is nice this time of year.

The good news is that, if she is unwilling to give Drumpf a "happy ending" to his birthday celebration, Rancid Priapus or other cabinet members are ready, willing and able to step up. (And I apologize for that mental image).

Donnie you're a rich man
Life can be a bitch man,
When your staff pretends that they love you so.
You got orange on your face,
You big disgrace,
Kissing your ass all over the place.

Singing
We will we will mock you!
We will we will mock you!
