“Paul Manafort and Julian Assange did indeed meet on occasion to discuss how collusion was a bad thing they would ‘never, ever’ do. Sure, they met a few times, but the only thing they ever talked about was how much they hate collusion and anyone who participates in collusion.”

“Trump thought the military’s top officer made $5 million a year”

“When Kelly asked Trump how much he thought the Joint Chiefs chairman earns, the president responded with a guess of $5 million. The post actually pays less than $200,000. According to the report, when corrected by Kelly, Trump suggested that Gen. Joseph Dunford, the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs, should get a large raise and noted how many stars he had on his uniform.”

OK, two hundred grand isn’t that Trumpian, but there are plenty of perks. For example, each one of those stars can be traded in for a free foot-long at participating Subways, excluding premium sandwiches and double-meat upgrades.

Offer not valid in Alaska or Hawaii.

(This anecdote leads me to believe that Trump must not know his own salary, which is $400,000. Surely he doesn’t think that a military officer would make more than his commander in chief? No. Never mind. He’s not capable of a thought that complex.)

“Blac Chyna Selling Skin Whitening Cream”

“In a post on her Instagram page, she said she had partnered with a beauty line called Whitenicious to launch a face cream in Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city. The company website describes the Whitenicious x Blac Chyna Collection as an ‘illuminating and brightening cream that lightens without bleaching skin out.’ A jar of the cream, handcrafted with Swarovski crystals, will cost $250.”

Only $250 bucks per jar? Righteous offer!

Who knew that the people in Lagos had that kind of disposable income?

It’s difficult to imagine how one man could say so many dumb things. This guy makes Dan Quayle seem like Isaac Newton. To be fair to Trump, he did actually identify a country with a lot of forest land, which surprises me. I’m surprised that he even knows the name of the country, although I’d be willing to wager he could not find it on a map.

Rake America Great Again.

No, they don’t rake the forests in Finland. It would be quite a task. They have approximately 5,000 trees for each person. I’m pretty sure that job would really cut into their sauna time.

But they should!


The 70-year-old loves squirrels “to the extent that he’s given them names and is allowing them into the house.”

After having observed him for approximately the entire length of my life, I am now officially ready to announce that Bonnie Prince Chuck is kind of a dweeb.

No offense, Brits. Love your country. Just about anything that’s worthwhile in the world is so because of England. But this guy is playin’ cricket with some missing wickets.

Pence: Trump administration has “defended the freedom of the press on the world stage”

(In addition to labeling the press, “The Enemy of the People,” Trump’s legal defense in the Jim Acosta suit was that the President is entitled to decide which reporters can cover him! Gee, I wonder why he lost.)
