I still can't believe they let Trump have an actual MAGA rally on national TV this afternoon! I'm looking forward to Colbert's take on it, couldn't stand it otherwise...

My farm of last year partner, lives across the country and he called to see if I was in despair. I told him pretty much what you just said.
That whole show was wonderful.
