Is he dead yet?

Run over by a "domestic terrorist" who was driving slowly away from him?

Fatal exposure to "pronouns" in someone's social media profile?

Mauled to death by a glove compartment full of dangerous plush toys?


Just fucking died already for literally any reason at all?

Mistaken by ICE for an innocent citizen & shot repeatedly in the face?

It's still early. Plenty of time for today to be our lucky day.

…fingers on triggers with safety’s off, unable to read warnings, and accidentally discharging their weapons. Professional law enforcement officers refused to attend, but Trump had found a friendly audience and couldn’t resist.

My local training group had about 30 people at the start, around 25 at the end of training.

As part of the orientation, we were required to take turns reading aloud from the official manual. Nothing complex, I'd guess that it was geared to a 4th grade reading level, give or take. In retrospect I suppose this was a further screening tool; if someone can't read at all, they might not be suited to filling out forms and explaining the process to random uncounted citizens.

I was shocked at how badly almost every one of them read. I know that reading aloud is a different skill from reading to oneself, but they were sounding out passages syllable by syllable, and they were completely stumped by words like "about" and "confidential."

Not exaggerating, and honestly I felt a bit guilty reading with smooth diction, as if they'd perceive me to be showing off.

But it occurs to me that some government-assembled teams might value illiteracy or near-illiteracy, for reasons that lately seem obvious.

It's a minor point. The sooner this Caligula wannabe gets off the planet the better.

when he got too close to the Shady Pants/Shiny Pants Phoniness Black Hole?

Unfortunately, the Reality Obliteration team at Los Alamos that was studying the risk of such disasters was DOGEd. The SEC is still investigating irregularities in the eyeliner markets that may shed light on some leaked knowledge of the activities of the VP and the Sequined Widow.
