Worse than a coup. Reads like it was put out by Pyongyang. Those numbers on the side of his hat. . . 45-47. His front and back nine.

While doing Rice Street Thursday afternoon, the Former Guy was allowed to “self report” his vitals, including his weight.
This number was 24 pounds less than his doc last reported and 71 pounds less than the average “over/under” on betting sites.
This is a clarifying moment. We should allow widespread “self reporting” of all sorts of things. As just one example, think of the savings if we didn’t need any of those new Internal Revenue Service agents.
Just ask everyone, including the Former Guy, on a postcard, “What was your income for 2023?” Similarly, just ask the FG, “What did you make on 18 and how many under par were you today?” “Where do you rank among all Presidents?”
And think of the time and money savings if we just asked him to self report on whether he committed any of the 91 felonies.
Follow through by reading the top “Top Comments”. They always expand the “discussion”.
Por ejemplo, here are two of the top comments from today’s Mauren Dowd essay titled, “Coup-Coup-Ca-Choo, Trump-Style“.

Excellent point H.A. And then there’s this from Jim in Cincy.

Touché Professor Snyder.
Adding in “legitimately” is the tell. What the hell is an illegitimate hole-in-one? Oh, I know, one the Former Guy claims to have made. I’d bet everything the Good Wife has that TFG and I are tied at zero*. I haven’t pegged it in a long time, but I’d play TFG straight up tomorrow for all his classified documents.
No, don’t be silly, I would not sell them, I would promptly return them to the National Security Agency, thus becoming an even bigger hero.
*my greatest shame in life
Thought I’d highlight this New York Times update from Instagram just in case you aren’t following the Republican’s presumptive favorite Presidential candidate.
“On Instagram on Saturday morning, Mr. Trump posted a mash-up video of himself swinging a golf club on the course and an animation of a golf ball hitting President Biden in the head, superimposed with footage of Mr. Biden falling at a public event in recent days after he tripped over something onstage.”
Because It Damned Well Was. S.V. Date for the win.
That was the message on the “TRUMP 2024” sign on Old Military Rd in Tenino, WA yesterday as I cycled by. Which got me thinking.
Who took America? When did they take it? Where did they take it? The Good Wife said the answer to the first question is “obviously liberals”. But I’m a liberal and I haven’t taken it anywhere. So some subset of liberals? Even then, there’s the other questions.
If you happen to find it, please report its whereabouts.
