Sam Shepard’s works never stopped calling to a certain type of actor—the mostly straight, mostly white theatre guys. Lately, though, there has been a flourishing of Shepard adaptations—queer ones, avant-garde ones, political ones—written by women. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/3swM8D

If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory.

Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

He could not find either Somalia or Afghanistan on a map, even if it was labeled. But he knows the people there have melanin, and are therefore obviously undesirable.
TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.
REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?
TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

The first rule of Trumpism: Nothing bad is ever EVER Trump's fault, and he gets full credit for anything good, whether he had anything to do with it or not.
We can expect his general unpleasantness to keep getting worse. His ability to filter himself is shot, and he's lost control of the narrative.

Q: You said this suspect was flown in under the Biden admin. But was he granted asylum under your administration?
TRUMP: Uh, when it comes to asylum, when they're flown in, it's very hard to get them out no matter how you want to do it. But we're gonna be getting them all out now. *slams table*
