Even this morning I don’t want to see Donald’s face on tv, so i turned from morning news to 1989’s BATMAN.

If I have to see an unserious man terrorize an American city, at least let me see him played by Jack Nicholson.

María Corina Machado put me in a bad mood yesterday with this. It is way too much ass kissing in the world. It’s also too many people who think everything is about them. I personally do not like either of these “types”.

She sure ain’t Trump!
