"Beclowning" myself will be my last resort. I will carry an inflatable suit in my backpack.

People who send annoying text messages and emails for Democratic organizations, saying things like "Trump's cabinet will invoke Article 25" or "You'll lose your status as a Democrat if you don't donate," should be fired! They make Democrats look stupid, and so further empower the monster Trump.

Between AI and Trump and popular physics theories, I know we can completely rewrite Truth and Reality and make them more fun!

Trump won't be satisfied until every airport in America is named after him. "Yes, I booked a flight from Trump Airport 2 in New York City to Trump Airport 1 in Los Angeles."

People are guessing what the rest of the deal is for G. Maxwell's silence. My prediction is that after spending another couple years in the cushy jail, Trump will eventually commute her sentence to parole. Your guess?

We cannot even get Alexa to behave properly, yet so many people are willing to let the oligarchs put self-driving cars on the roads so they can recoup the fastastic amount of money they've invested. We are pretty much reckless fools if we let them do this.

Hey, Potted Pete, ya think it was bigger and more secretive that D-Day?

I propose renaming the "Big Beautiful Bill," the "They'll-Get-Over-It Bill."

The Gang of Six out of Nine are overthrowing the Constitution again!

You have to admire the way Trump skipped over any "Good evening my fellow Americans" greeting, and got straight to "We bombed the shit out of them and we'll do it again." Wait, hold on, no you don't!

I wish I had the kind of faith that Ted Cruz has, a faith that allows him to half-recall a quote from the Bible that somebody once told him and that implies we should do whatever Netanyahu wants us to do.
