“Ok,” the post began, “I need to say that this is the most ASININE thing I’ve seen yet.”
The caps were not ironic. More were to follow, and quickly.
“Went to Twisters Soft Serve Icecream,” it continued, “and ordered 2 doggie cups. Then I wanted a friggin icecream cone with jimmies — nope. Not allowed.”
You probably have questions. We know we did.
Midnight: I’m melting! Melting!
12:05 am: Feeling a strange urge to become a Walmart greeter.
12:09 am: Those seventysomething presidential candidates don’t seem that old.
As the news broke, the news that wasn’t news, the news everyone already knew, the news that dog bites man, CNN’s White House correspondent walked up to the camera and delivered it to the nation as gravely as Cronkite announcing Dallas.
“I think, Wolf, what we have to come to grips with, and I almost have to think back to the day we were at Trump Tower, when the President was commenting on Charlottesville, and he was saying that there were very fine people on both sides, saying that there were very fine people among the white supremacists and the Nazis, is that the President of the United States just seems to have a problem here, Wolf, in this area. And we can tiptoe around it, we can dance around it, and not really put our finger on it, but the President seems to harbor racist feelings about people of color. From other parts of the world.”
The flash, apparently official: President Trump is racist.
No shithole, Sherlock.
Donald Trump lies at golf. This is the word for it, as “cheats” implies a charming old coot who pulls a few tricks on the course. Donald Trump does not pull any tricks. He just lies.
This should not come as a surprise. Donald Trump lies about everything. We see ample evidence of this daily. His lies are most intense when his ego is involved, which is always. Donald Trump lies about everything, especially himself. Donald Trump has never been known to tell the truth.
In March 2016, long before we were all forced to endure Donald Trump’s lies daily, to live inside them, he took issue with Marco Rubio’s reference to Spy magazine’s immortal Trump characterization:
“Look at those hands, are they small hands?”
Friday afternoon, in Portland, Oregon, two women riding the city’s light-rail service were accosted by a fellow passenger.
“Get off the bus, and get out of the country because you don’t pay taxes here,” he said by one witness account. The man also said he “doesn’t like Muslims, they’re criminals,” according to the witness.
One of the women was wearing a hijab. Both were young.
Three other passengers came to the women’s defense. The man pulled out a knife and slit the throats of two of them.
Both are dead.
In Republican controlled states, the Invisible Hand holds up bridges!
