I have nothing to say...

Well, some of you have held that opinion for some time, but please allow me to elucidate.

When I was in 9th Grade I was in a production of a Jean Cocteau play entitled Wedding On The Eiffel Tower. It was a play involving surreal, absurdist incidents and the director needed a youthful actor who, at the end, utilizing pistols (actually starting pistols from the athletic department), shoots everyone.

I remember thinking to myself, as a kid, nothing will ever match this ridiculousness ever. And I was absolutely correct.

Until last night.

rifting crescendo. It’s akin to keeping the septic tank operable. Lindsay Graham is still clapping and bowing and groveling

At the beginning, I was cleaning in the kitchen and had my earbuds in to listen. At one point I ran to the tv room to see if he was grabbing his chest or left arm or starting to stroke out.

Then I turned the sound way down and read captions, but they were gibberish, and it was getting painful to listen to, so I went back to cleaning the kitchen.

Nice to see that Joe Biden lives rent-free in trump's little brain.
