To quote Bob Marley, “so much things to say right now”. I’m feeling much better and I want to thank the Top Comments crew for putting up with my semi sabbatical. This group of people is one of the finest you can find on an internet messaging board. They are a strong part of this community and true henchmen of the Great Orange Satan.
Anyway. I hope to write some more about the debates, etc but this isn’t the time or place. For tonight. I retrain my ire on the Mango Mussolini himself, the Donald.
But first, a word from our sponsors ...

I have had the privilege of visiting Pan Mun Jon (the De Militarized Zone). I am here to tell you that the security bubble around that 200 square feet of sand the Donald stepped onto this morning is well defended. South Koreans can’t visit this area. Foreigners need passports just to enter the facility on the South Korean side of the border.
Let me be clear. This is not a “historic moment” that “they” say it is. Granted, Korean unification is a big deal and near and dear to the hearts of South Koreans. But there can be no unification with this North Korean dynasty. Oh, and China’s president stepped into China’s DMZ last year. This is a photo op, pure and simple.
Also, Trump just publicly stated that he was asked by Kim to visit. Huh? WTF? He tweeted out his self invitation less than 48 hours ago! How dumb must he think his base is?
Kim Jong Un will spin this on his state media, as will Trump on his own version Fox News. Did you know that Tucker Carlson was on the visit to the DMZ? Expect an “Exclusive” this week from Mr Bowtie. (p.s. Tucker will never be the William Buckley of his generation. period. — needed to be said)
Anyway, rant over. Sometimes the Donald just makes it too easy. He crossed more than one line today. Welcome to the new new normal.
The time for Impeachment is long over. I want to force the Senate and McConnell to try Mr Trump. Place some pressure on them. I keep waiting for the House caucus to get off their “representing moderate districts” ass and impeach. Trust that my Rep will be seeing me this week over the break.
Peace.
And Happy Pride!

Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
