> [@OttoDaFe](#): > > Learning penmanship from a nun was … not pleasant. I failed one day’s penmanship (being taught by a nun), because we were typing saints’ names, and my name was the same as one but with an ‘a’ on the end. I’d start relaxing and put my brain on autopilot, and I’d start adding that ‘a.’ Had to scratch out the extraneous a’s and made a mess of the paper. ---

The fucker isn’t in the WH anymore, but he still occupies acres of real estate in the heads of Republicans. Thus the clusterfuck continueth… I wonder if it will continue after trump dies?
