@Crash. “ I can’t cheer for either dog in the fight. “ Crash. We all know how you feel about the orange regime. As horrible as that regime is,, and it is getting worse by the hour, how could you not cheer for the dog that is fighting the regime you claim to hate so much? The most mediocre blue has to be light years better than the orange team.
I am absolutely certain that when King Donald sits atop his throne, that he truly believes that he extrudes gold. Why the entire throne room is so fancified!
From Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American newsletter.
"Tonight Trump appeared to be trying to keep pressure on the Republicans to kill the filibuster or the Democrats to cave by tightening the screws on the American people. The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to stay the order of U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell to distribute Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits by the end of today. This puts the administration in the position of going to the Supreme Court for permission to stop the distribution of food benefits for 42 million Americans."
"While senators say they will stay in Washington and work to end the shutdown, Trump is following House speaker Johnson’s lead and getting out of town, heading to Florida for the weekend."
The Trump administration is using SNAP benefit recipients as political pawns. Let them eat cake! Trump can not even be bothered to stay in Washington, DC while the government is shutdown¹. These actions illustrate Trump's total lack of character and his gross negligence towards the electorate. The country would be much better off if he just remained at Mar-a-Lago indefinitely!

But you'll never get them to SEE and ADMIT it. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness." Matthew 23:27.
