I've been watching #"Friends" lately, and the actor who clearly impresses me the most is... #MattLeBlanc. He is consistently asked to do more than any other actor in the ensemble. And he clearly has the widest range that he is able to go to of any member of the cast. He's not just the dumb guy.

Pope Leo wants us all to go to movies in the theater. Normally, I would pretty much ignore what the Pope has to say, but in this case I'm on board. Honey, we're going to the movies. The Pope said we have to. Do you want butter on your popcorn? (I'll just have the Dots, thank you.)

Obamacare was passed into law in 2010 and for the past 15 years the GOP has been trying to get rid of it and claiming they have a better plan. They don't. Why not? Because most of the basics of Obamacare were originally GOP ideas from the Heritage Foundation in the 1980s.

Well, #AOC, with today's betrayal by eight "Democratic" Senators, I guess that clarifies what you need to do next year: you must primary Chuck Schumer. No need to ponder any further.

It's clear after yesterday that he will soon be irrelevant. Feel free to not follow through on your "donation." Best excuse to use: "Oops. We forgot. Oh, well."

I'm going to the I Hate America rally (aka "No Kings") on the weekend. Filled out all the payment forms for George Soros, and i guess we get our cash in a paper bag at the end. Note to self: don't forget to bring a photo ID to insure proper payment.

Any chance Trump was so desperate to receive the Nobel Peace Prize this year is because either some really disgusting stuff is going to come out when the Epstein files are released... or he's dying?

I want to get a raincoat like the one Gene Hackman wore in
"The Conversation." It's translucent, plastic, basically shapeless and formless, but it has lapels, for some reason. Utterly artless. And yet it seems to say something important about the wearer.

Well, it's 2:34 am here on the West Coast and I can't sleep and the news is just relentlessly disappointing. I guess I'll watch that Diane von Furstenberg documentary on Hulu instead of sighing over each headline i read.

According to Trump, Biden has "Stage 9 cancer." He was able to make this diagnosis because Trump has Stage 11 dementia.

Also, "tariff" sounds suspiciously like a French word that has been imported into English. Let's use a word that sounds more like English: tax.
