Paul Rudnick's COASTAL ELITES brilliant take on trumpism, included a vignette by Issa Rae whose character went to boarding school with Ivanka. Ivanka's friends pledged not to blame her for her dad's misdeeds, as they wouldn't blame Courtney Stalin or Chelsea Noriega. I hold every trump responsible

~1300 fired on a Friday, about half unfired the next day, due to an apparent “coding error”. But sure, your data will be secure.

They’re all in a competition for who can be the most maliciously incompetent. So much winning. Participation trophies for eveyone. Nobel Prizes in Nonsense.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.
