I heard it got even worse when he refused to ask them if they "abided" or whether the rug really "really tied the room together."

I heard he referred to someone as "dude" without even knowing if they identify with being a Yankee or a dandee or had stuck a feather in their cap.

Nothing like techbros calling in personal favors regarding military deployment on American cities and sponsoring the destruction of the east wing of the whitehouse in one week.

“The good news is this means that the next Democratic inhabitant of the White House can demolish the Trump Presidential Palace Ballroom and Casino and restore the East Wing and the rest of the White House grounds to their pre-Trump state.”
