No doubt by the afternoon press conference, Trump will be saying Gorilla Glass can be shot out of a cannon into a basalt cliff one thousand times. Except he won't say "basalt." Maybe "tremendous hard rock" or "very, very tough stone."

"PELOSI: Oh, Mick."

Schumer looks about 1000 years shrewder than Trump. Roy's imagined dialogue augments the effect even better than the actual dialogue did.

Later at Thursday's press conference. "We'll make it out of TrumpGlass. 'Cause it's tough, like me."

Couldn't remember which of Willy Wonka's victims that was and had to look for a longer clip. It's so appropriate it goes way beyond funny.

Gorilla Glass. I love it. Really, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he started talking like this in a presser. He's already babbling pretty incoherently as it is. Then, there's the twins Mick and Mark Mulvaney - one of them is bad enough but two? ;)

Can we convince him to make the wall out of plasma? Then hire a bunch of homeless people to pretend to be working on it for half an hour while he visits? "Oh, yeah, you can't see it because it's plasma. But it'll teleport anyone who tries to get through it directly into outer space. And it won't affect the views. You can even take photos and you won't get any glare!"

During my Christmas trip to England, my siblings and I went to see "Hadestown" at the National Theatre. For those who don't know, it's the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice retold as a folk opera set in Depression-era Louisiana. I bring it up because one of its songs in particular has gotten attention in light of current events. Keep in mind as you listen that this was written in 2010:

This link from Boing Boing: https://boingboing.net/2019/01/06/steel-v-concrete.html is almost as revealing as your insider articles, Roy. And, "Can we get one that’s Puerto Rican, like that socialist girl who’s in Congress? Also I want her to wear that same red lipstick, and maybe do a little dance." Ooohhhh, mama.

What the ever-loving fuck is up with that tie? Another two inches and he'd be able to sit on the fucking thing.
