The sharpie was a big, strong sharpie. It came up to Trump with tears in it’s eyes, and said, “Please Mr. Trump sir, could you please use me to change the path of the hurricane?” ---

I got a phone call from the head of NOAA, which under my presidency had risen to great heights - never before has any president funded NOAA to the extent I have. He said, “Sir, how did you do it? How did you divert the storm? Nobody in the history of the world could have done what you did, not even Lincoln.” ---

Nobody had heard of NOAH before my best presidency. I made it great. Noah was in the bible, did you know that? 2 corithians or something like that. ---

All I know is that if those Corinthians are from one of those shithole countries, they need to be sent back to where they came from. ---

This is perhaps the best schadenfreude for a politician: Lauren Boebert is losing her reelection bid by 5000 votes with 86% of the votes counted. ---

If the House goes red, then she’ll be back on committees and that’ll mean the country’s going to get it hard and that’s not good. ---

Didn’t a number of 'Pubs vote to strip her of her committee assignments? Of course, past performance does not indicate future results. ---

> [@Kolak\_of\_Twilo](#): > > Trump was impeached twice for his (un)professional, on-the-job choices and he had to hire outside counsel just like Clinton. I’m puzzled why you don’t think that would apply to Garland. Trump’s impeachment trial, while he was in office, was lead by Pat Cipollone - the White House Counsel. When he wasn’t in office, he wasn’t in office.
