So, did his influence actually diminish? Or has the power simply moved elsewhere?

I was commenting to my wife that in retrospect, this administration is exactly what a government run by inexperienced right-wing bloggers would look like - clumsy, idealistic, inexperienced and prone to facepalm-level fuckupitude. As such, I feel that Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle applies: you can know how badly they're doing. You can know what they're trying to do. But you will never know how badly they're doing what they're trying to do.

I found this earlier today and it made me chuckle. Then I found this and decided that a sitcom about Jared Kusner would be hilarious.

Then I realized it was.

We are experiencing Bluth Rule.

I was joking about the Bluth border wall contract last night, and I suggested Trump will build a series of sauna wigwams.

That man has never sweat a day in his life. His vision quests involve caviar and being peed upon.

So really, Bluth Rule as interpreted by David Lynch or Gregg Araki.

Right, George Sr. sent in his twin to do the sweating, they swap out in between the wigwam and the motivational speaking stage. Maybe there's a Ronald out there. The script says he's somewhere in Siberia doing outreach right now.
