I’ve always liked the phrase “it’s better to be pissed off than pissed on”.

I am going to remember that.

“Did you pee in the toilet?”

“No, I stood _next_ to it when I urinated.”

“Mr. Jones, we’re going to have to ask you to stop urinating in the pool.”

“But everyone pees in the pool!”

“Not from the diving board, sir.”

BlueSky is fizzing with rumors…no confirmation. But there’s this:

It’s probably just rumors, like the last 20 times, but a hobbit can dream…

Rumors apparently started when Trump’s staff suddenly announced he would not be making any more public appearances today, which implies he would not be playing golf this afternoon. Apparently, for him not to play golf today is surprising.

Assuming he’s still infesting this world, we should expect to see him, next time we do see him, wearing a glove. Or else a really thick slab of makeup. (Odds are he will have had whatever treatment it is that requires he be infused through the back of his hand.)

Everytime I hear or read the words “Walter Reed,” I get a real strong hankering for champagne. It’s almost pavlovian.

I can just see the chapters in future academic tomes: _The Trump Era: Rewiring American Brains_.

If only him not existing any more would stop many millions of Americans, and hundreds of millions of others, being total arseholes bereft of any empathy or understanding. Not realistic and overly simplistic thinking.

I don’t know, I’ve not read everything. But I think that the idea Trump disappearing will change much is optimistic to say the least. He’s just one person (albeit a deplorable one).
