You can use it for a small remuneration automatically paid weekly or monthly from your bank account; 1% (wait, no 10%) will go to my legal defense fund, the remainder will be siphoned off to my family. ---

I’ve settled on Reactionary Wacko Traitor (or Traitorism) as my go-to term for what now passes for most of what used to be called a “Republican” or “Republicanism”. “RWT” has a certain ring to it. ---

I kind of like “White Wing” nutballs. In the late 19th century in NYC, sweet sweepers were known as “White Wings”–there were tons of horseshit to be swept up every day. ---

Reading the indictment, it looks like Individual-1, in this case, was James Woolsey. He turned in Flynn as well. There’s a reference in the document to an article on Sep 12, 2016, saying that someone had joined Trump’s team. I’m guessing it’s this one (or one like it): [https://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/james-woolsey-advising-trump-228026](https://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/james-woolsey-advising-trump-228026) ---

Ew. Do we know _who_ stained the ottoman? If it’s a Trump stain, I bet it’s worth more. ---

Everyone approaches Trump with tears in their eyes. It’s the combination of cheap bronzer, Big Mac grease on his unwashed hands, and old man stank. It hits you like a physical force. ---

A homeless man came to me with tears in his eyes, and said to me, “Sir, this is one of my most prized possessions I’ve saved up the pennies I found on the street to get it. But I’ve thought long and hard about it I decided that for the good of this country you need it more than I do.” And with that he handed me his stick of deodorant. ---
