Someone should make sure that the turkey that Trump pardons next week isn’t really Jr. in disguise.

Heh, if Trump Jr. happens to get indicted between now and then, Trump Sr. will probably go ahead and condemn the turkey to its fate, in spite.

Trump will probably demand that the turkey pardon _him_.

He won’t pardon the turkey unless it starts playing nice with MBS and drops that silly dismemberment false news.

Or at least call it a rude, stupid bird and tell it to sit down and shut up. Then preach about “decorum” in the White House.

:eek: Bad memory: Two years ago, I had to work with a young lady who hit the caps lock key to capitalize a single lettter then hit the caps lock key again to type the rest of the word. She was the slowest typist on the planet. I don’t get it. I don’t know anyone at all in the “digital native” generation who can type correctly, yet keyboarding is how they communicate (supposedly).

They mostly communicate with tiny (or virtual) keyboards that you can’t possibly touch-type on, unless you have matchstick fingers.

I get confused when I go from my computer keyboard to my kindle to my phone. The letters are all in the same place but symbols and stuff aren’t. Everything should just be universal–batteries, plugs, keyboards, healthcare. All of it!

Jacob Wohl claims responsibility for the arrest of Michael Avenatti (we still don’t know whom he allegedly beat up). Avenatti said he would be coming for Wohl. So Wohl says he has filed charges against Avenatti for making threats.

I’m surprised that Wohl hasn’t been arrested yet, for the previous thing.

And, of course, it should be noted that making a false report to the police is a crime, so admitting to the public that you have done so seems like a rather stupid thing to do.

So, again, I’m surprised that Wohl hasn’t been arrested.
