Mangy Fetlocks has noticed certain traits and behaviors that seem universal among adherents to the MAGA movement. For those who wish to become MAGAts (but have not sustained any serious head injury or possess a profound personality disorder) Mangy wrote this song to outline some of the basic tenets every good, blindly-obedient MAGAt needs to master.

Making Minions 0
At the Idaho State Journal, Leonard Hitchcock looks at why Donald Trump wanted to use an executive order (“Schedule F”) turn civil service jobs over to political appointees who would do his bidding without question. Here’s a bit from his article:
The Schedule F executive order was a step in that direction. For an autocrat, a government must speak with one voice: that of its ruler.

Thom discusses how Donald Trump is trying to run away from debating Kamala Harris without looking like he’s running away from debating Kamala Harris.
Aside:
Methinks that Trump demands debate broadcasters promise not to fact-check him seems to me sort of maybe a little bit of an indicator that he intends to say things that might be a tab bit less than factual . . . .

Patriot Gamers 0
Thom argues nationalism and patriotism are not the same thing and that nationalism is inimical to patriotism. He quotes the French president:
President Macron said that nationalism is a betrayal. “By pursuing our own interests first with no regard to others, we erase the very thing that a nation hold most precious, that which gives it life and what makes it great, its moral values.”
He also points out that America was founded on an idea, however imperfectly that idea may have been implemented, not on white DNA. He argues that today’s Republican Party has forsaken patriotism for (white) nationalism. And, to steal a phrase from Mark Twain that my two or three regular readers know quite well, Thom hears an echo a rhyme from history.
Listen to his reasoning.
