camus/sartre or scripted reality television?

that muskmelon is receiving billions in federal stipends is old news and that ripping them out of the budget would save money is an idea that has been bouncing around around the interweb for months...once again donny is utterly derivative...no real thought going on in there...which is what is expected, it is simply getting old...
i am forced to start off on this one by asking does muskmelon actually have firends, or simply sycophants, acolytes, and hangers-on? how would he know? he does not impress me as being much brighter than donny...simply better at grasping after wealth and holding on to it..."a state of disbelief"? ( this all comes from the n y times by the by...credit [or discredit] where it is due )...while i never thought the egos involved could sustain any sort of lasting partnership...this adminstration will not differ from the first in terms of the turnover in advisors...one could be excused for thinking this is some sort of loyalty test cooked up by the superegos to see who jumps which way...followed by a tearful reconciliation and an expanded purge ( the suspect are already being turned out in droves )...a whoretown "night of the long knives"...or another distraction from what is really going on with donny's "big beautiful bill" in its one thousand and thirty eight pages ( at least in the pdf i downloaded from congress.gov )...where we are all pauperized and disenfranchized ( no, i have not read every word just yet...simply enough )...one hopes the fiscal hawks in the senate kill this one dead...
then again, there is remarkable symmetry in the way muskie has turned severe critic after the rift and how donny is seeking to diminish him and his contributions to the putsch in waiting this has become...camus was never the bully sartre was and fell silent after that rift...these two are seasoned bullies with a wealth of experience to draw on...the circus grinds on.

the revolving door creaks...

...and the scapegoat that has outlived his usefulness and become a liability...
escapes with a black eye ( to match the one he has deivered to the adminstration in the eyes of many )...
and a gold key i will wager doesn't open anything but the exit...i have pointed out elsewhere the turnover in advisors and cabinet memebers of donny's first term and one suspects that this is only the first in series of departures that will simply further disrupt what little continuity in policy exists in whoretown ( and this must be the most venal administration since lyndon johnson sold the office...whoretown is living up to its name )...muskmelon has done his work of distracting the public to the extent that he has become a burden to the oval office, the government, tesla, and likely anyone who comes in contact with him...time to go and clear the pathway for the next wannabe second banana...betting j d vance is pleased
