A number of people who had Tatiana Schlossberg have edited their posts. If the rest of those who had her have not specified an alternate by noon tomorrow I will use whatever the first alternate was that they posted. ---

Hmmmm. I’ve decided to use Scott Adams instead of Donald Trump. I can’t help worry that having Trump on my list could be construed by this particular (humorless, in addition to despotic) administration as threatening the president. Here is my (RivkahChaya’s) current list: Charles III of England Squeaky Fromme Clarence Thomas Bruce Willis Eric Dane Joni Mitchell Jason Collins Linda Ronstadt Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Joanne Woodward Scott Adams Harvey Weinstein Ben Sasse alternates: Johnny Depp Kevin Tighe _Please note_ : Kevin Tighe moved to alternate, and replaced on list by University of Florida president, and former senator, Ben Sasse. Lynette Fromme listed as “Squeaky,” as I understand the rules to say, which is change from the past, when proper names were requested. ---
