“President Donald Trump is celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary—and his own 79th birthday—with a massive, multimillion-dollar military parade Saturday in Washington.” — Politico
Dear neighbors,
It’s been a long time since my birthday. Almost a year, in fact. That’s why I’m excited to announce that I’ll be celebrating another turn around the sun with a military parade through our neighborhood. You and your families are all invited. If you can’t make it, no worries. Not a big deal! Just RSVP “no,” and I will simply have you arrested.
For those attending, here’s what you can expect:
In Gaza’s final hours, Israel uses starvation as a weapon, the U.S. supplies the arms, and the world watches in silence.

No matter. There’s plenty more to choose from. How about cereal? I just picked up this whole shelf of—
Wow, every single box?
Every. Single. Goddamn. Box?

Unpredictability was the most predictable thing about the first few months of Trump 2.0. Having long understood the political utility of chaos, it’s no surprise that his most coherent strategy was to ‘flood the zone with sh**’, an approach suggested by his sometimes-advisor Steve Bannon. But who could have imagined he would become so obsessed […]
