Dear Reader (Including Steve Bannon, who now has more time on his hands),
Normally, when I’m out of town, and I can only follow the news or check in on Twitter intermittently, I feel like the security guard at a sewage-treatment plant doing his morning rounds amidst the vats and pools: Same sh*t, different day.
But this week feels different. The fecal content is higher. The curlicues of shimmering methane distorting the air above Washington seem thicker.
Taking this metaphor beyond all good sense and taste, when I look at the gauges and dials in the control room, all the needles are in the red, and the sewage-outflow pipes are all pointed at the industrial turbines.
I feel like I’m Jack Lemon in a SyFy rip-off of The China Syndrome:
From the writers of Sharknado 7: The Sharkenating, SyFy brings you: Sh*t Show.
“My God. That’s not coolant water . . . that’s not water at all!”
In other words, it feels like this is the moment when Trumpism hits the fan.
Dead Presidency Walking?
Of course, ...
