They wrote a beautiful piece....

"Enough of the chaos, the division, the schoolyard insults, the self-aggrandizement, the corruption, and especially the lies. So many lies — from white lies to whoppers — told out of ignorance, laziness, recklessness, expediency or opportunity."

"Trump’s capacity for lying isn’t the surprise here, though the frequency is. It’s the tolerance so many Americans have for it.
There was a time when even a single lie — a phony college degree, a bogus work history — would doom a politician’s career."

...outside, Trump supporters are inflating the big Baby Trump thing. TRUMP SUPPORTERS? I highly doubt Trump's supporters are inflating the Big Baby Trump! They're too busy inflating their egos in an attempt to match their hero's galactic sized ego.

there is, after all, a global helium shortage driving up the cost.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/05/09/helium-shortage-2019-affecting-parties/1158604001/

As helium prices surge to new highs, some researchers and companies in the medical industry, which uses the gas as a coolant in magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance, are suggesting a ban on party balloons.
<snip>

A big reason for the shortage is that about 75% of all the helium comes from just three places: Ras Laffan Industrial City in Qatar, ExxonMobil in Wyoming and the National Helium Reserve in Texas, according to gas-trade publication Gasworld.com.

In Texas, the reserves are being depleted, while at the same time overall demand for the gas has been growing.
