    Happy indictments, you son of a bitch.

    As our Country rapidly grows stronger and smarter, I want to wish all of my friends, supporters, enemies, haters, and even the very dishonest Fake News Media, a Happy and Healthy New Year. 2018 will be a great year for America!

    Trump is so authentic he champions working class interests from his expensive Florida beach club where wealthy businessmen with interests before the government pay him cash in exchange for policy favors.

    Remember what it was like to have a mature, culturally aware adult in the White House? Obama's favorite books and music of 2017.

    What film that you should have seen long ago did you see in 2017 and love? For me, it was Terrence Malick's "Badlands." OMG! Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek were so good they were uncanny, and the photography was sublime. Up there with "Night of the Hunter" for American darkness.

    Topics I'd love to hear less about in 2018: 1. Bitcoin. 2. How Trump's loyal base feels about literally anything. 3. Instant pot and/or avocado toast. 4. How calling someone a Nazi is as bad as being one. 5. Cake bakers' "religious freedom" to discriminate against gay couples.

    It's worth noting that before Trump, any national figure who said this would have been exiled from political life for good. Now it's just standard operating procedure, another shrug in the face of blatant fascism.

    BREAKING NEWS! When LYING LIB MEDIA makes up FAKE NEWS to smear me, the ANTIDOTE is go right at them. Punch them in the nose & MAKE THEM TASTE THEIR OWN BLOOD. Nothing gets a bully like LYING LIB MEDIA’S attention better than to give them a taste of their own blood

    A quantitative answer to the age-old question, "What's the difference between a nerd and a geek?" This chart plots various words according to how frequently they co-occur in tweets with "nerd" (x-axis) and "geek" (y-axis), respectively

    To be specific, the luminous jam I was talking about tonight was out of "Steam" and into "Light." Worth checking out for fans of "Space."
