I know what I said but you can continue pretending I said something different if it floats your boat.

Actually, more like a reserved space for people who are _already_ pissed off.

**PJ** tried to shit on **Sir T-Cups** Seattle thread and got a warning. It was a pretty sad plop, though. If he had a brain, he might be dangerous.

I figured he was dozing off and posted while half asleep and already starting to dream. Big meh. But of course the myth Trump wants to communicate is that he always knows what he’s doing, is always in control, and barely sleeps.

Wow, 'Hump plays Scrabble!

I don’t know if Trump does, though.

Covfefe is a little tweeting bird chirping in a meadow. Covfefe is a wreath of pretty flowers which smell BAD.

That contradicts whenever you post a link to something horrible a wingnut liberal did and wonder how the liberal loons can explain this. Wait, am I confusing you with **okrahoma**? All you conservative pundits sound alike.

Otherwise, your goal is admirable, despite being unrealistic. It’s hard to consider any of Trump’s views as having merit when he acts like such a clueless pig.

_[Places the tiles A, H and A on the board to create the word “aha”.]_

“Nobody knows more about the words than I do!”.

I would imagine his strategy is to just put down all the letters he has in some random order, and then when challenged claim that the dictionary has a liberal bias.

He is the only man in the world that knows the meaning of **Covfefe**.

He is the most interesting man in the world.
