[red dog 1]

After Trump became President, he invited family members to the White House for dinner, and his sister, Marianne Trump Barry, said:

"We've come a long way since that night Freddy dumped a bowl of mashed potatoes on Donald's head because he was such a brat!"

(Shitler just sat there and scowled)

50. Anything by Shakespeare

Here's one of them I treasure:

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
