I wanted to make it twelve by selling the bottom side side, but then some poindexter started droning on about foundations and subsidence and I got bored…” ---

I cannot believe I brain-farted that so bad. There are 50 sides to the Pentagon. 5 buildings times (5 outer faces plus 5 inner faces each). Or 55 if you want to count the 5 roofs. Or 75 if you want to separately count each of the 5 roof segments of each of the 5 buildings. Overall, I think we’re proven the Pentagon can have however many sides your trumply marketing department wants it to have. Kinda like how his accountants can come up with whatever profit (or loss) number is asked for. ---

OK. How do I embed an image? It’s giving me an error message. But apparently there’s a “courtroom sketch” of Trump with Jesus sitting next to him at the defendant’s table. It’s bizarre and telling. ---
