To "manifest" his myth of self, Trump asserts some crazy thing and then punishes anyone who doesn't get on board. The subs then proceed as if it were true (arrests, gunshots, praise...), validating. He'll TACO for a bit if the process stalls, but he'll be back. There's no "belief" involved. Ever.

The human cognitive sysem, like that of the dog, is not well configured to grasp exponential growth. Nevertheless as we sit in front our screens, numerous microorganisms no longer tested for are Darwinly awaiting their shot at the elbow. I believe this is what you call a statistical certainty.

"Although the Senator's BP has dropped to 0/0 and his HR also measures at 0 (3 measurements in 15 minutes, averaged), we remind the impertinent press of an individual who went through the same and, despite the low quality of his medical care, came out the other side, at 120/80 within a mere 3 days."

Uncanny how the principals so much look the part. From the bloated urine-smelling Imperator, to his hairless stringpuller Nosferatu 2.0, to the homophones Mr Astonished Death and Mr Oxford Cornpone, all the way down to assorted lurkers, attachments and offspring leaking bodily fluids.

It is time to stop treating Donald Trump's anti-Canada rhetoric like a joke

I supplied a couple of kids I know with a word-for-word of the first two lines. One was intrigued by the Greek word order and the other compared it to the way his Dad plays golf.

Mitch‘s proof of life is like nothing so much as those Victorian post mortem photos.

Mitch is politicking on ice. Very chill. As with others who've made their apotheosis, you can speak 'to' if not 'with' him for as long as you like.

Raise your hand if you've never listened to a Taylor Swift song all the way through.

Am I losing it, or has JD entered the uncanny valley? He's hurtling toward 42 at the one speed the universe offers, and that's the age at which you are not 19 anymore. His rounded visage is losing wrinkles and mobility faster than an inflating balloon. I call botox on him.

No one expects the French Revolution. Don’t know why not.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.
