Hell, the clown in the story was less dangerous than the one the republicans inflicted on the planet. Wasn’t thinking of that particular clown, but thanks for the chuckle. Was thinking that I’m a “he” and a human being, and I refuse to refer to it by the same pronoun or acknowledge it is the same species. It has lost any right to personification. ---

The best that individual has any right to expect is to be referred to as a “vaguely-human-shaped object,” or “it” for short. ---

And how the tangerine twerp has pissed me off in regards to signing the checks: well, the jaundiced jackass is famous for not reading and his writing (aka tweeting) is infamously bad, so instead of having his name scrawled across the government negotiable instrument, why not go with [this symbol](https://www.123rf.com/photo_127923148_stock-vector-head-up-ass-your-problem-is-obvious-guy-with-his-head-up-his-own-ass.html)? ---

I’m hoping I get my stimulus check by direct deposit so I don’t have to see Trump’s signature. I’m sure any check with his zig zag will bounce. ---

But that’s a bit long, so let’s just shorten it to **s/h/i/t**. That works, too (even in the original, uncorrected version). I’ve been using “the thing in the Oval Office” for a while, but it’s never caught on. Still, all these ideas convey the alien nature of that particular entity, as well as the generally excremental quality of its presence. ---

Not only is he still breathing, he’s doing so without wearing a mask while he’s sitting or standing quite close to other people. Remember that he’s been in close contact with people who have gotten COVID-19. But why does his irresponsibility in this situation not surprise me? ---

God only knows what he may be carrying, and what, who he has paid of to keep silent about it. The man is not just a moron, he is a true menace to society. ---
