Trump Falls Asleep Onstage at September 11 Ceremony Who is the sleepy one?! #DonillusionSyndrome is exhausting… pathetic creature, at best. newrepublic.com/post/215324/... via @newrepublic.com

Second time I’ve seen Come From Away — the touring Broadway production and now to open the 102nd season at the #Omaha Community Playhouse. For a lot of reasons, including this being the 25th anniversary of 9/11, this hit like a ton of bricks tonight. My eyes stayed non-dry throughout. #Canada

“The criminal illegal aliens who have invaded our country must be removed. I will do everything in my power to stand strong with President Trump to get the job done.” — Jim Pillen Wanna bet the gummint finds (furrows brow) something wrong (clears throat) with reporter Yanqi Xu’s immigration status?

#LSU may get a death penalty worse than anything the NCAA could mete out. And, says the conference, it isn’t just Lane #Kiffin. It’s Huey Wrong and his AG, too. OK, now we *have* achieved real chaos. Maybe the gub’na could use Tiger Stadium for MAGA circuses — “socialists” vs. Mike the Tiger.

SEC files amended complaint to lawsuit seeking authority to expel LSU from league (Gift Article)

"Today's filing is necessary to … preserve the Conference's ability to govern competition among its members," the league said.

Dear America, Maybe it’s time you pay attention for a change. As seen on the #CBC, a strong plurality of #Canadians now look upon the United States as an enemy nation. This is what the #Trump voter has achieved. America isn’t great again. No, America is alone and adrift — a sinking ship of fools.
