We Don't Have A President


By Baxter

That's the bad news. And the worse news? There's a madman living at the White House with all the powers of the Presidency at his disposal.

Benedict Donald apparently did a complete meltdown on a conference call with mayors and governors this morning. Maybe all the Hitler-bunker memes and "coward" hashtags sent him over the edge. Or maybe he's been over the edge many times before, and this is just the farthest off he's ever gone. It's hard to tell.

Luckily, our system of government has mechanisms built in to check the executive. Still, the Trumpsters are straining them to the breaking point. Is it November yet?

We Democrats respect the notion that America only has one President at a time. But the situation is so extraordinary now that Joe Biden is not waiting. He met with community leaders in Delaware this morning and convened mayors on a conference call this afternoon to address the nation's tumult. In short, he's consulting with Americans instead of Vladimir Putin. We cats PURR.
