I'm Henry VIII, I Am

It’s another hot morning. Temps are supposedly gonna be more reasonable (i.e. NOT in the 90s) today and tomorrow and then we’re back to it on Sunday.

At the science site phys.org Jeff Masters, director of meteorology for Weather Underground, notes that:
2016 was the warmest year on record globally, and that year saw the most all-time heat records broken around the world.
Global Warming AKA Climate Change maybe? Not according to the incompetent and unhinged mental midget in the White House. Nope, it’s all a hoax to him.

The Tangerine Turd will be golfing, this season, at his slightly less steamy New Jersey property versus his Florida club and, of course, we taxpayers are paying for it.
U.S. taxpayers will foot the bill for $60,000 worth of golf carts and $27,000 for a portable bathroom for the U.S. Secret Service in Bedminster, an indication that President Donald Trump will be returning to his New Jersey golf club this summer. (source)
Yup.

 Flint still has poisonous water thanks to mega short sighted cost cutting by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder.

Puerto Rico only now, one year later, has power back to most but not all homes and businesses. Just in time for this year’s Hurricane Season!

Two MILLION acres of U.S. land burned in wildfires last year and more burn still but the Apricot Id doesn’t seem concerned.

45 has, at most, tossed out some paper towels and issued thoughts and prayers-ish tweets.

BUT HEY, let's keep things in perspective here! His golf course will have $60,000 worth of new carts and $27,000 porta-johns. Isn't that RILLY the important thing – golf carts and fancy toilets? Shouldn't we the people be thrilled to pay the bill?

What? NO?!!!!!!

 Brad Delong writing at Project Syndicate notes that:
It is as if we have returned to the days of Henry VIII, an impulsive, deranged monarch who was surrounded by a gaggle of plutocrats, lickspittles, and flatterers, all trying to advance their careers while keeping the ship of state afloat.
Gee.
Lickspittles? √
Plutocrats? √
Flatterers? √

Henry the VIII got rid of two of his inconvenient wives by jailing them and going with a little off-with-their-heads action. Divorce, I guess, just wasn’t enough.

I suppose Marla and Ivana should count themselves lucky, eh?

  1. That picture perfectly captures "Herman'"s lisping eighth.

  2. Just got a look at the week-end reports, we are at 2.7 million acres on fire today, down from the yearly average of 2.3 million acres ten years ago. And summer is just getting here.The Rez has already had its annual grass fire that everyone makes way to big of a deal out of, the couple of little fires we've had were gangbanged with due dispatch, if not with a bit of humor: little field across the street from the local ranger's office caught fire last week, and in the seven minutes it took to go from cigarette butt to twenty acres theynhad seven helicopters on it. Might be the quickest containment ever!
