You always make my TDay.

Girds my loins for the next phase of the WOC

Which I believe we are winning, thanks to the likes of you.

Looking forward to a truly hideous and loathsome conclusion to the nightmare formerly known as 2018.

'TRUMP stares at KELLY, then sits down, receiver still cradled against his chest. His eyes dart back and forth. Pause. With his free hand he picks his cell phone, then puts it down. Pause.]'

I always thought, if nothing else, the capitalist system in America would be efficient. That you're not writing for multiple media venues is a goddam waste of fine resource.

John Allen Chau, an example of being somewhere you have no business being in the first place. (Applied to Usurperov, this covers--Melania's IUD, soldier's funerals, the White House. . .)

I don't buy this as Trump would almost assuredly have used a racial slur that rhymes with ink when referring to the Chinese girl, but otherwise, I think it captures the Trump zeitgeist rather well

[ I'm not serious, just suggesting this to hear the brethren howl ] How can we make commeroration of John Chau's assholishness and subsequent death a part of Thanksgiving traditions in the future. In some ways it actually is the true meaning of the holiday. I might take a shot at a tune for the occasion. [ Okay, I admit I'm a little more serious about this than I led yyou to believe ]

Not sure whether Trump would actually care to know who this stupid Christian missionary was ("stupid" even suicidal since the North Sentinelese are the most isolated people on the planet) nor care much at all. However, the dynamic between Kelly and Trump, especially Trump being so easily cowed by Kelly calling his bluff I think actually realistically captures the dysfunctional dynamic between the two.

When we went around the table at Thanksgiving saying what we're thankful for, my younger spawn began with, "I'm thankful that the Sentinelese killed that missionary."

So don't tell me millennials are terrible.
