Taibbi's analysis is brilliant.

The Trump Era Sucks and Needs to Be Over, by Matt Taibbi (Medium)

The race is tightening. Is America sure it's ready to give up its addiction to crazy?

In this sense the Republican Party’s 2020 platform is genius: there isn’t one, just a commitment to “enthusiastically support the President’s America-first agenda,” meaning whatever Trump says at any given moment. If one can pull back enough from the fact that this impacts our actual lives, it’s hard not to admire the breathtaking amorality of this, as one might admire a simple malevolent organism like a virus or liver fluke.

Don't say I didn't remind you of the leaf sucking protocol for 2019.

The city's leaf removal protocol for 2019 is to petition Superman, and he'll take care of it all by himself. Actual quoted passage:

"Mayor Jeff Gahan is pleased to once again aid the citizens of New Albany with leaf removal."

Well, he's the Wizard of Bling, and he can do ANYTHING.

Of course it's the stormwater utility's employees who'll be doing the actual work, like always, but naturally this doesn't stop Anchor City's narcissist-in-chief from claiming credit for the labor of others. After all, that's why he's here.

But don't look for the information at the city's web site.

Don't look for these, either, or Bob Caesar will set your leaves on fire.

Rather, the lowdown comes with the stormwater utility's periodic paean to Dear Leader's re-election campaign.

Short version: If you want your leaves sucked, keep them out of the curbs, gutters and streets, or else ... absolutely nothing will happen to you.

We spoke too soon, 'cuz Deaf Gahan's big-ass city suck truck effectively slowed traffic at this dangerous intersection on Spring.

This truck managed the impossible; its presence parked in the middle of Spring Street on Monday morning objectively slowed traffic.

It was fun watching cars pass on all sides.

The suck truck's success in slowing traffic at Spring and 10th has so impressed Dear Leader that he's commissioned a permanent fix -- without the suck truck, but with a nice homage to his shimmering reign.

It's the Jeff M. Gahan Presents the Spring Street Roundabout.

Although maybe he should be facing east to discourage visitors.

Might just be the best comic ever.
