But just as you think he cannot go any lower, he does it again.
Why anyone ever thinks he cannot go any lower is frankly beyond me. He has demonstrated time and time again that he can always go lower. We shouldn’t be surprised by it.
One possible explanation for the Obamas as primates has to do with the fact the Melinia movie was such a flop while the Michelle's upcoming movie is getting good reviews.
The only “explanation” is that Trump is a distinctly horrible person, completely lacking any kind of recognizable moral compass beyond “nothing matters but me.”
Miller's a funny one. I was thinking that an odd kind of Goebbels-lite figure, such as he strikes me, lacks the charisma to cut it in public politics without hiding behind someone more palatab... never mind.
Thanks @Stercus Tauri, that had not occurred to me. Elsewhere on the ship (somewhere where I am glad I did not identify a Jewish bloke with a famous Nazi) I was recently bemoaning the loss of a Ship meme-figure of old who no longer makes much of an appearance on these pages. Imagine my delight, when (relevant to this thread) Wikipedia revealed the existence of a genre of Lovecraftian political campaigning, often around the idea 'Cthulhu for president; why settle for the lesser evil?'. It's worth a look; there are even versions in Polish .
I don't see many MAGA-fans appreciating that subtle rebuke, but it certainly cheered me up.
Cthulhu isn't evil. It's an uncaring entity with no understanding of any moral concepts. So it should be, why settle for the lesser entity with no understanding of moral concepts.
I must admit, I've not come across the Cthulhu for president phenomenon before. Now I'm trying to find out how many votes it got in the last few elections, but can't find a source.

You probably won’t find much. Cthulhu would be a write-in, and there aren’t always numbers available for write-ins. (In the state where I live and vote, write-ins aren’t even counted unless a petition with signatures of 500 registered voters is submitted on behalf of the candidate.)
In any event, I think Cthulhu for President and its variants aren’t really about actually getting votes for Cthulhu.
Talking of extra-terrestrials, it appears the Trump distraction machine has actually gone up a gear and that far from jumping the shark, he is reaching to infinity and beyond. I would provide a link, but perhaps you can help yourselves. Just be aware that if you type 'Trump aliens' you'll get lots of depressing ICE-related hits, whilst Trump wants you to look UP.
Our little boy is once again throwing a tantrum over Canada threatening to keep a new bridge entirely build by Canada and jointly owned by Canada and the State of Michigan (goes back to how the treaty was worded) closed until the United States is fairly compensated. No one seems to know what he is talking about. Story Here
And then there was the reaction to the Bad Bunny performance. If you haven't heard, he complained it was all in Spanish which "no one understood" and he complained about the dancing on the set. He had initially said he was not interested in the performance, but he must have watched it in order to comment on it. Reminds me of a little girl saying she won't watch putting her hands over her eyes but keeping the fingers spread out to see what is really happening.
I watched the performance. My Spanish is not all that good, but I did get the message to believe in yourself, and you can accomplish a lot.
Also watched part of the MAGA Turning Point Alternative,
Bad Bunny was much, much better.
There is now a meme going around people are sending Depends coupons to the White House. Not really happening but it might catch on.
I forgot to mention the National Governors Association canceling their meeting with Trump after he extended invitations to only Republicans for a business meeting. There was also supposed to be a White House dinner for all the governors of both parties. Except Trump did not invite Gov Moore of New Jersey (who happens to be black) and Gov. Polis of Colorado (who happens to be gay). While the dinner is still going on 18 Democratic governors have indicated they will not attend the gathering.
There is more and more talk Trump will probably not finish out this term.
Republicans rebels have stopped a bill in congress. The Reps seem to be getting fed up with the state of play
Are you talking about procedural vote that would have blocked resolutions which disapprove of the Trump tariffs? Does not have the same status as a regular bill, but affects how the House will proceed on pending resolutions presented by the Democrats on the tariffs. Even those resolutions will not stop the tariffs, but they will give Democrats a platform for the upcoming elections.
But it does show the House that Trump built is beginning to crumble.

The have been a number of photos and videos from Mar a lago that showed the Bad Bunny performance being watched there, in Tr*mp's presence.

I'm sure you can fill in the remaining 4 letters.
Some of the more coherently psychopathic are widely thought to come from Miller.
