> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Dammit. I apologize. It just showed up in my facebook feed this morning. And for some reason, I neglected to read the date. ☹ Actually, that’s a good warning for all of us. If something _just shows up in your facebook feed,_ take a minute to check the date, and more importantly, check the veracity of it. I would assume that if people were fact-checking a post, they’d notice the date. ---

> [@Mike\_Mabes](#): > > This motherfucker is going down slow. Slowly, slowly, slowly the noose will tighten. Trump will end up pacing around the White House late at night but he won’t be talking to pictures of dead Presidents because he won’t know who the fuck they are. Well, except for Obama. I’m not a creative writer, can I ask some of you who are to write the dialog between Trump and Obama? Dump: You! Obama! You did everything the opposite of me. So why do they love you and hate me? Why?! Portrait of Obama: Because you’re _such_ a dip. ---
