If I need a pair of scissors I have to go to the garage take the block of ice with the scissors frozen in it out of the freezer and let it melt.

I almost never watch him but when I do my wife comments on how my Parkinson's is acting up. I don't have Parkinson's.

I thought dick cheney caught a lot of nasty words, but trump pulls out a whole new lexicon.

9. the shape of his upper lip UPSETS me
Mon Apr 20, 2020, 05:24 PM
Apr 2020

It's mesmerizing. I can't look away even though it makes me queasy. It just draws the eye inexorably with its weirdness.

It alternates with the Mussolini lower lip. That one affects me in a different way--the anti-dictator-y part of me.

It's not a cute combination.

He always seems to be puckered when he speaks. Or it's the orangutan in him.

His hand gestures ànnoy and disgust me. Awkward is a euphamism. I also cannot look away no matter how awful it looks & feels. I suppose those gestures exemplify how powerless he rightly feels. Yet I think he somehow thinks his stupid looking fingers me him look all powerful. Oh, I don't understand that orange monster. Just take him away--preferably to jail. But by all means take him away.

Though she is calmer than me when he comes on TV. I start screaming which I end giving myself a sore throat. Now I change the channel.

She tells me Trump started his Daily Shitshow, and her husband turned off the TV and said "I can't stand to even hear that idiot's voice".

One drop at a time will eventually drain that GOP bucket.

I don't use Twitter, myself - but couldn't it be re-tweeted directly to Trump's twitter page? (not that I actually know how it works)
