Called it! Thought it was as obvious as its horrendous comb-over and orange make-up from the start. My only pause was that at one time NY Yankees GM Randy Levine was actually a dark-horse candidate for Chief of Staff following John Kelly.
How about a thrown empty beer bottle? I’d be they could even rig up something powerful enough the reach the mound.
A T shirt gun ought to do it. I’d pay for the compressed air for a few shots of MAGA T shirts at the Cheeto-in-Chief. Then he would cry and leave. Preferably the continent.
Is that the NSA/Secret Service/FBI/Homeland Security thundering up onto my porch?
trump-as-Evita: I am too busy to throw our your first pitch, even if you asked me. As you should have asked me.
Don’t cry for me, Amer-IC-a
The truth is I shall not leave you
Even if elections
Don’t come out fair
I’m your President
And always will be
I had a weird turn yesterday, wherein I was ruminating about Trump’s (alleged but look at all the public evidence of the past few years) mental health problems. Trump does all this stuff he really can’t help doing; his whole life has warped him into what he is today. BUT… he may not have gotten up to all his shenanigans, and not as far as he has, without the support of the Republicans. In essence – and this is the thought I never expected to have – for just a few moments, I felt sorry for Trump as a mentally ill person taken advantage of by all the sharks, propping him up for their own gain.
But then I remembered that, while that is true, Trump is functional enough to have had an active part in trying to shape things, so fuck him. We’ve all known it for a long time, but the departure of Trump will still leave us with the Republican party, all those millions of voters, and the stage set for a smarter Trump-type to step on up.
My heart hurts, and I’m tired. But I did just check my voter registration for the 5th or 6th time this calendar year, and I have printouts on the when and where for my early voting opportunity. Unfortunately, my state doesn’t allow no-reason-needed mail-in absentee ballots.
Nah, that’s not why he turned it down. The team told him he would have to use a baseball, not a roll of paper towels.
… and here I was hoping it would be a special game. Like… bat-day…
President Trump has pissed me off today by moving his unmarked minivan Gestapo Goons into NYC and grabbing people off of the sidewalks.
This mortal coil would be better.
True. It would be elitist and shameful of me to wish him on another continent or the fair seas.
Thanks for catching that 
As if anyone needs proof that the orange turd only cares about himself and is, without a doubt, an unrepentant racist, here you go. The tin can tan twerp did a photo op while President Obama was giving his eulogy for the Honorable John Lewis.

I got a letter from Trump the other day. It was a survey asking me to rate from 1-10 how I felt the Trump administration did on what he considers key issues. At first I threw it in the recycle bin, but then I reconsidered. Not content with merely filling in the circles, I annotated my own thoughts on the issues.
The Wall (30 ft ladder > $30 billion wall)
withdrawal from the Iran treaty (does he want to build a hotel in Teheran now?)
immigration reform (does it have to involve locking people up in cages like animals?)
lower taxes (so future generations will be burdened with quadrillions in debt)
standing up to Russia and China (like when you didn’t mind the Russians interfering the election on your behalf and making the American people pay tariffs that didn’t harm China)
handling of the Covid crisis (HE LISTENS TO WITCH DOCTORS INSTEAD OF ACTUAL DOCTORS), likelihood to re-elect Trump (is there a circle for minus 10 million?)
willingness to do volunteer work for the Republican party (not at the cost of my eternal soul)
I still had to use my own stamp, so I feel like I lost money on the deal.
Knowed_Out: … I feel like I lost money on the deal.
I’ll bet you a cup of coffee and a half dozen donuts that your letter was never read by a human being. The robot(s) that read your letter were not interested in your additional annotations. So you really did lose money by using your own stamp.
I check the box that I’m enclosing $1,000 check. I assume that will flag the response for a human to take a look. Maybe (certainly) it does no good, but it makes me feel better. Like posting here.
Clever you! 
I do the same thing. I think I mentioned this in another thread - I give out this phone number that came free with my cable package. I use it when I need to give a phone number but I don’t want to give a real number.
I don’t gave an actual phone attached to the line, but incoming calls show up on my TV. And since I sent the forms back with that box checked, I see a lot of calls coming in from RNCC with a DC area code. So I hope I’m effectively wasting their time.
I give a number starting with 555- when I want to waste solicitors’ time or am required to input a phone number on websites or applications. And I happily use postage-paid envelopes to send back my replies to causes and organizations I dislike.
I keep a list of solicitors, and give them each other’s numbers.
Sometimes I’ll include a donation. In pennies.
I like the cut of your jib, k9bf!
