Brave Sir Robin ran away.
("No!&quot
Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!&quot
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("I never!&quot
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
("You're lying!&quot

Not a good look, especially that close-up photo at the bottom. Hateful.

Best guess: tonight he's gonna rage-eat a bucket or two of KFC and follow that up with a serious temper tantrum on twitter about midnight.

I think he knows how bad he came across this afternoon, and that's the kind of thing that galls him and gets under his skin.

Not certain how effective that will be when it comes to things like, people not dying of Covid-19, people not dying because they can't afford to eat, people not dying because we have a narcissistic asshole calling the shots for the federal government.

Should be a lot of fun, a lot of laughs going forward.

it is, will remind others too of his temperament to be truly presidential, and is only 'presidential' in the most outlandish definition of what a president should be (the far right and some conservatives who believe that the oldest among us should just up and die).

My take on it.

It's about time. Women and people of color may just save this republic yet.

13. What? Trump is the least racist person you've ever met.

We know that because he said so. It must be true because he's also the most honest person you've ever met. We know that because he said that, too. Plus, did you know that injecting disinfectants could save you from coronavirus? We also have plenty of testing and ventilators. And Trump was proven completely innocent of the Russia, Russia, Russia, and Ukraine, Ukraine accusations.

(I'm sorry, I feel the need to go sit in a dark corner and rock back and forth for awhile.)
