I like it! Though going by color he’s more rutabaga than the closely related turnip:

Cheeto goes to Vegas and promises to eliminate taxes on tips. Yeah, Fucking right. It will never happen. Goddamn liar.

The news didn’t mention anyone keeling over from the heat. So that’s good, I guess.

I was driving through Kentucky last week and saw a hand painted billboard that said "Trump, are you next? ✝ "

Saw a letter in my mail pile that I had not noticed before. It was from **President** ShitGibbon. Thought I should see what he had to say.

It was dated “_Wednesday Morning_.” Seriously, what? Then I realized, that had to be an allusion to a song,  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; _What have I done, why have I done it_  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; _I’ve committed a crime, broken the law_ …  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; _My life seems unreal, my crime an illusion_  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; _A scene badly written in which I must play_

Yes. I wonder who could possibly be a danger here.

Ah, I see. The orange menace has been suffering bad luck because he has broken his mirrors. Also, what the hell is this “Far-Left”?

> [@](#):

It seems to me that the RWs already no longer recognize this country, and the lion’s share of the rest of us are not at all interested in living in the kind of country that they would.

> [@](#):

So, naturally, I Sharpied the reply form with some advice about sideways cholla cactus suppositories. Unfortunately, it had my name and address on it, so sending it in would have been ill-advised. And would cost me a stamp.

I would think “Wednesday morning” to be an alliterative reference to that poem which has the line \*… and Wednesday’s child is full of woe", but that would require a lot of things to have happened that likely didn’t happen with this crew, so who the hell knows?

Yep. Those four lines are taken from the song, “Wednesday Morning, 3 AM” by Simon and Garfunkel. They are not consecutive, but they’re all there in the song.

I got the same letter; send us money this month, and next month!

Lord knows where they got my name and address from. I hope his campaign wasted a fortune sending them to people who laughed and threw them away.

I dunno; I mean it’s a pretty good response, but there’s something fundamentally lazy about answering a question with another question, y’know?
