#SCARYDUDE with accent: you’ll just have to see kid. Acceptance and self-reliance.

Everyone Involved: Trump picks another card out of the Ronald Reagan deck. It’s more “communist” in a retro Richard Nixon mind than he’d like, but it’s not communism. Anyway, Nixon, McCarthy and Roy Cohn took it too far with the infiltration of the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities in the 1950’s. “Drain the swamp” may or may not end up being another example of overkill.
Dear President Donald J. Trump:
In a flash mob democracy, does Hillary reign as Chief Tortoise?
THE DONALD: I think we’ve figured that out by now.
REPORTER: What about her getting her foot in the media door every time there is derogatory news about your administration?
REPORTER 2: Does she know secrets regarding some of these derogatory allegations?
THE DONALD: She doesn’t know much. She doesn’t know much…well I don’t know, ask her about Whitewater. Ask her about Whitewater. I don’t know.
GRAHAM: I second the motion.
MEGHAN McCAIN: Don’t look at me! Who said he wasn’t in the first place?
GRAHAM: Some guy.
MEGHAN McCAIN: That guy?
GRAHAM: That guy.
MEGHAN McCAIN: Trey Gowdy looked pretty persuasive yesterday.

In 2000, I used my SonyEricsson to access the web. Young women thought I was crazy looking at my phone all the time. Now the young women think I’m crazy because I don’t have a smart phone and walk around in a worn Eddie Bauer shirt and Adidas. What do they expect? The young men wear boomers, they’re already fed up with #hers.

Neither wickedness nor good can save us from time and opportunity, from the occasion of sin or enlightenment. Refinement benefits little when one chooses debauchery to mess up one’s soul. Like the non-smoker who takes a lighted fag into one’s lungs, it’s counted worse in drag damage than an habitual smoker who might puff a…
