Translated line-by-line from the original Republican

Dear Coquette explains what the chickenshit coup is really saying.

Heroes

Bertolt Brecht* said, “Unhappy the land that needs heroes.”

The heroes we need:

Justice Anthony Kennedy, who occasionally voted against unadulterated evil. (Kavanaugh will fix that.)

John McCain, who actually protected Obamacare while all the other Republicans attacked it and supported whatever Nazi or criminal Trump nominated

The nameless coward who helped most of Trump’s agenda but may have kept us out of a nuclear holocaust

*Well, actually, it was probably one of the women who worked for him, but that’s not important now

Total cynicism

Suppose Trump is right and the nameless coward in the White House really is a Times put-up job. That and the Woodward book are the Establishment’s efforts to stop Trump before he brings conservatism into as much disrepute as Hitler did for Jew hating.

What’s your game now? Can anybody play?
