I’m terribly sorry, my friend.💔

Actually, I know this order was fake, but a funnier thing to do is for everyone to go on a White House tour and randomly ask “Where’s the felon”?

I’d like to ban the word ‘unprecedented’. It’s always been the softest way to describe the way the Trump administration operates. It’s too safe, too neutral, and no longer relevant: this kind of governance became precedented long ago.

I think she’s tougher than many, but I think journalists still lack powerful follow-up questions. Here’s a template I’d like them to use (and repeat after the “weave”: “Is that so, Mr. President? Please tell us exactly how you’ve done more for _________ than anyone since”.

Also, kudos to your cat for not interfering with your selfie.

Nice pic! I always love when people post photos with their bookcases in the background, especially when I see I have some
of the books I they do.

I have seen him 7 times. His music has always been good for my soul.

Nah, but only because I thought it was a dumpster.

I’ve been in education for almost 30 years. Part of the reason why is because I used to be that kid who sat alone.

Well, at least they weren’t able to flip your car and set it on fire.

My wife has an uncanny ability to start asking me something at EXACTLY the same moment I start the dishwasher, laundry, or turn the faucet on.

They should also remember to ask follow-up questions. Ex: “Is that so Mr. President? How exactly have you done more for African Americans than anyone other than Lincoln?”

When I was younger, the yelling at the Eagles by a lot of the men in the family drove me to the kitchen, which led to me learning to cook.

Amazing how the early albums don’t seem dated at all, isn’t it?

I admire and respect you and strongly agree with your first statement, but I’m quite sure there are at least some Democrats who won’t follow the law.

I hear you, but I’m going to remain hopeful. Why? You used the phrase “tried to destroy it”. Tried, but failed. That tells me that the system is strong enough to contain him and those like him.

Sorry to hear this. I hope it’s nothing serious and that she comes home soon, Dave.

Yet you haven’t muted him.
Also….attacking the guy when his elderly mother is not doing well? Not cool. Do better.

Yep. My wife and I went to Wyoming on a dinosaur dig with our local museum. Worked on a juvenile diplodocus. The awesomeness of that week cannot be overstated.

I don’t have Venmo, but I did donate to the Red Cross this morning. Hope you & yours are safe.
