“For every complex problem, there is a solution that is clear, simple, and wrong.”
— H.L. mencken

I’m in despair for, among other things, running low on negative superlatives to describe these MAGASSHOLES. It’s 95% lies and fantasies and hypocrisy and adolescent trolling. It will end badly. And worst for the red-state working class who voted for him. Suckers all. But Emperor Heel-Spur has no clothes. He fancies himself William McKinley but he’s so much closer to PT Barnum, only less honest. A carny huckster. A charlatan. A fraud. As your grandma might say, a giant fuck-wad. What we used to call in grade school a dickweed. Ultimately just a cowardly bully who will get his in the end.
And what he’s been setting up some are calling a monarchy. Nah. A broligarchy? That’s certainly part of it with Musk and Bezos (just cancelled my WaPo subscription, BTW. Where are the Ben Bradlee and Katharine Graham of yesteryear?), though he’ll toss his goofy hatchet-man aside before too long. Kakistocracy? Mos Def. But I was trying to think of other terms we might use to pass the time before the inevitable iceberg hits and sends the USS Trump to the cold and foggy bottom. Here are a few:
Doucheocracy
Trolligarchy
Clown Car-Kleptocracy (CCK)
Frauditarianism
Brutocracy
The Turd Reich
Flailistocracy
The Legion of Tools
Shitshowistan
Confederacy of Dumbasses
Cacastocracy
(Crony) Crapitalism
I’ll try to think of a few more. Let me know if you come up with any. Taking callers now…
