I sort of hate how my sense of "what's actually funny" is so out of wack during dreams, and a bit that absolutely kills as I'm sleeping completely burns away in morning light. Case in point: Someone in my dream had a father who had the name "illiterate dad". And my joke was "heh, I guess you shouldn't try to summon him by spelling out his name!" (I think like, yelling "D, A, D!") Like, that's barely even a joke, but my sleep self was so eager to share it with the world.
If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.

Took long enough.

That was the president of the United States on the day before the midterms. Choosing to make a speech at Reflecting Pool. To talk about the Reflecting Pool. No symbolism. No metaphors. Just straight up pool maintenance. That was Donald Trump's "I Had It Cleaned" speech, if you will.
