The orange clown thinks that laws are the velvet ropes that prevent you from getting into the nightclub and the lawyers are just the bouncers that man the velvet ropes. In Todd Blanche he’s found a bouncer he can work with. 

It’s a good thing he has such a rich fantasy life: the real polls show him way up, the reflecting pool was destroyed by vandals. That way when they march him off to a secured location, he can imagine he’s in some special place like the bunker under the ballroom or the Putin bridal suite. 

Since Trump and RFK Jr are responsible for firing the scientists who would have checked for the Cyclospora parasite that’s causing the outbreak of explosive diarrhea, should we start calling it “Freedom Diarrhea?”

Jim Acosta is right: Democrats have to start asking WWMMD? What would Mitch McConnell do- if the president knocked down the east wing, if his ICE troops were killing people, if he was trying to put his face on the money?

As a character actor, I thought one day I might be in an apocalyptic movie and play an old man whose worth was that he still knew how to read and write. I never thought that one day I would be an old man who’s worth was that he could still read and write…

Anyone remember “The Ugly American?” He was crass and fat and loud and stupid. He wanted his way, demanded everyone speak English. Thanks to Dump, he’s back. But when it came down to it the ugly American was just & fair. He remembered his friends. He spoke of Democracy. Thanks to Dump he’s gone.

It seems crazy to us that he’s still at it. He’s still at trying to prove that he won the 2020 election. The DNI, the FBI, the DOJ are not protecting us from crime and terrorism. They’re running around, looking for evidence that he won. But he didn’t. He’s crazy.

I really think the orange clown has a love-hate thing with JFK. The Rose garden: gone. The Kennedy Center: stolen. JFK’s iconic design and paint job of Air Force One: gone. Plus majorette bonespur was 16 when JFK and Jackie were in office and the most popular couple in the world.

Michelle Obama: You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.
