DJT: I guess we know who deep state is.

PHIL MUDD: You have no idea.  Just kidding.  Her name is Wilson now.

DJT: Just in time for twitter huh?

And then there’s a subtle thing…the mass media, big money Woodward and Bernstein @wapo.

Scott Jennings, ex-aide to George W. Bush, “[If Trump, Bannon think Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are bad, wait until they have Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi running the House, it’ll be like being sucked out of an ice cream parlor into the tenth level of hell.]”

MR. BARTHOLOMEW: “[T]he futility of individual effort.]” John Houseman to James Caan as JONATHAN E in Rollerball (1975), a film by Norman Jewison, screenplay by William Harrison.

“When you’re down, and troubled, and you need a helpin’ hand, and nothin’, no nothin’ is going right. Have yourself a Dodgerdog, and every thing’ll be alright.”

JAMES TAYLOR:  Hey, I didn’t sing that.

CAROLE KING: Close your eyes and think of me, and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest nights.

JESUIT PRIEST: Other than evocative manifestations of your personal relationship with Jesus Christ, which I hope is taking center stage in your young hearts, what does this song, “You’ve Got A Friend” by Carole King mean to you today?

Rose the Republican was right. They are like gods. I still do not worship them. Obey a default choice.

@POTUS: #FrictionFiction: “This is all part of my ‘#Order vs. #Disorder‘ lesson. Herbert Marcuse–I read him. There are many, many alternatives.  And I say to Leader Kim Jong Un: Any time, any place. Why don’t you come to Mar al Lago for a triathalon of golf, tennis and table tennis? I think I’ll win at least two out of three.  I’m a pretty good golfer Kimbo.”

KIM JONG UN: You come to Pyongyang, we both give speech to benevolent peoples, see who gets adored, and don’t call me ‘Kimbo’.

DONALD J. TRUMP: I don’t speak Korean.

KIM JONG UN: It’s like Chinese–kind of.

DONALD J. TRUMP: Tang So Do? Can I bring Chuck Norris?

KIM JONG UN: Bring Chuck Norris.  We like him too.  Team sports.  The man in the arena, yes. But the spectators too. The spectators. What was that on Rollerball? VoyeurVision? Brave New World, “feelies” Donald, feelies?  Ever held one of our women Donald? Ever hold a North Korean?

HONEST ABE: Watch it Donald.  You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.

MICHAEL CRICHTON: Yeah.

BILL O’REILLY: Yeah. [Looks at Crichton like Jack Nicholson looked at Muhammad Ali after the 911 coordinated terrorist attack by mostly if not all, Muslims].

WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?: That’s why we have the ‘audience poll’ option. Democracy is flawed, but it is a very small flaw and rarely comes up.

#SCOTUS: That’s specific enough.

Ban the Psalms?

Defense: We

DEFENSE CAPTAIN  [televised]: As far as defense goes, the sky’s the limit.

COMMENTATOR: Now I assume that means being on defense, you don’t want to step on the toes of the offensive leadership.

DEFENSE CAPTAIN: You said it, not me.

COMMENTATOR: Okay, let’s change the subject, well, not completely.  You’re one of the most respected men not only on the defensive squad, but in all of Houston as well.  Why do people admire you?

DEFENSE CAPTAIN: Can I tell you a secret?

COMMENTATOR: Of course!

DEFENSE CAPTAIN: It’s true what that song says, “Treat her like a lady”–she’ll be good back.

COMMENTATOR: Cheerleaders? “They pick you up when you’re feelin’ blue?”

DEFENSE CAPTAIN: “Now how ’bout you?”

COMMENTATOR: Lynyrd Skynyrd by the way for you bean counters at ascap.

[HTC Cheer walks out in street clothes, after an introduction, we see three screens, one JUMBOTRON screen to the center, and two 60% of its size to the left and right].

PAGEANT ANNOUNCER [GILBERT GOTTFRIED?]: Wrap them in pompoms if nothing else!–Marilyn Monroe aka Norma Jean Mortenson.  “Did Joe really put roses on my grave?”

SALLY FIELD: Yes Norma, he did.

MONROE: Was he happy Sally, was he happy?

FIELD: Mr. Coffee? Yes Marilyn, he was very happy when he could give what you had between you flowers on top.
