As for media covering Trump’s decision not to attend any church services after posturing about religious services being Essential: I’d guess they see that as a losing proposition. If they devote a lot of time to it, they’re just giving the likes of Kayleigh McEnany and Kellyanne Conway, and maybe the loathsome Trump offspring, too, the chance to get on camera and opine about how Noble and Self-Sacrificing Trump was _not_ to attend church, because attending would have meant others couldn’t have done so (since the Trump entourage would take up so many seats). Or some shit like that. Not worth it. ---

I don’t golf, but I’ve seen golfers golf. Watching Trump play was painful. His swing made me tense up. I don’t think he’s doing it right. ---

For those who would enjoy getting under Trump’s skin and generating a tweet storm, that would probably be a fruitful and as-yet-unmined vein: ridicule his golf game. He’d go ballistic. ---

> [@The\_Tooth](#): > > I don’t golf, but I’ve seen golfers golf. Watching Trump play was painful. His swing made me tense up. I don’t think he’s doing it right. When every single person he plays with lets him cheat, he doesn’t need to do it right. That’s very much like how he’s operating as president, but in that case it’s the Senate letting him get away with it. ---

When I checked my mail today there was an official looking envelope from the IRS. It looked like something important, because when is a letter from the IRS not important? So I opened it right away. It was… a letter telling me I should have received my stimulus payment by now, signed President Trump. I guess since I got my payment by direct deposit rather than a paper check with his signature on it (or on the memo line or however they did it), he had to send me _something_ to claim credit for the stimulus. ---

When I recall how long it took him to take _ **any** _ action whatsoever with the Defense Production Act, and then see how he’s acted so immediately on this laughable example of Twitter moderation, I _ **beg** _ (_ **BEG** _) the time travelers from a few millennia hence to intervene. Nothing homicidal, just keep him off that escalator, please. ---

A more effective intervention might be a sudden belt/pants malfunction, with a side of power failure to keep him trapped on the escalator.
