No One Cares Because Nothing Matters Anymore

BTW, anyone know if there's any truth to the rumor that instead of squandering the moment to dance on Baghdadi's bones like Obama did by dumping bin Laden's body at sea, Trump will go all Reality TV Star on us and announce at his news conference in a few minutes that he's going to hang what's left of Baghdadi from the Washington Monument and leave it there until the House appropriates the funds for him to build his ~ 2,000 mile vanity wall along our southern border?

(Assuming, of course, that he has Putin's approval.)

What's the over/under that Trump announces the end of sanctions against Putin, I mean, Russia, within the next month?

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the "lock him up" part, but:

Gotta admit, I was waiting to see if Trump would mention it or not:

It must be hard keeping up with the fictional characters in his head:

For the longest time I can't stop thinking that Steve Bannon will eventually be playing some part in Trump's 2020 re-election effort. I'd guess he's already doing what he can from outside the tent, although his cred seems to have waned, but considering his previous success and Trump's approval ratings and poll numbers, why wouldn't Trump want to bring him back?

Or not: (I haven't finished the entire article.)



The mystery of who's funding Steve Bannon's work has been at least partly solved: Guo Media, a company linked to a controversial Chinese billionaire, has contracted Bannon for at least $1 million for “strategic consulting services,” according to contracts obtained by Axios.

Why it matters: The billionaire fugitive — a man named Guo Wengui, also known as Miles Kwok — is embroiled in the U.S.-China conflict. He’s a vocal critic of the Chinese Communist Party and is reportedly a member at Mar-a-Lago. He’s on China’s most-wanted list for alleged bribery, fraud and money laundering, per the New York Times (he strongly denies the allegations).

Guo has been living in New York while he awaits a decision on his U.S. asylum application. And the Chinese government has asked the Trump administration to extradite him...
