    Another new follower discovers the joy of my Twitter presence

    Replying to @RadioFreeTom
    I've read the comments to this tweet and your various responses. The conclusion is inescapable that you are utterly contemptuous of any view that diverges from your own. Your condescension is stunning, particularly as you decry the absence of virtue and morality.

    By popular demand. How are weapons released? I and the cast of Friends explained it back in 2016, no, there is no legal way to stop the President if he wants to do it.

    Let me try to explain the nuclear procedure with gifs. First, the President is warned of an enemy launch.

    After years of careful observation and research, I have come to an important conclusion: There is no way to open a can of cat food without getting cat food on yourself.

    After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.

    One of the most magnificent meta-moments in Twitter history

    After Jared Kushner said that New Yorkers deserve to suffer extensive deaths and sickness of coronavirus because the governor did not beg Trump sufficiently for help, it is laughable that he wants to sue for having his words plastered across Times Square.

    By the way, literally snorts in here and it’s worth it. howls in agony. Not quite as good. But the bashing of Peggy Noonan is everything.

    That was back in like 1932 or something maybe

    Old enough to remember when Republicans and right-wing media claimed that two members of the New Black Panther Party, one with a nightstick, outside a Philadelphia polling place constituted voter suppression that required the strongest possible sanctions.

    The person who had been consistently right on the best media tactic with trump is , when he recommends: just let trump talk. Don’t edit. Don’t interfere. Let the emperor present himself in his bare-naked state.

    Guessed there might be some mitigating context to Trump's remark to suburban women. Nope. "And you know what else? I'm also getting your husbands - they wanna get back to work, right? They wanna get back to work. We're getting your husbands back to work, and everybody wants it."

    DETROIT (AP) -- Judge blocks Election Day ban on the open carry of guns near Michigan polling places.
