1.) Half the problem is cowardly journalists covering a “president” with no democratic legitimacy as if he is actually the president. The emperor almost literally has no clothes. The minute television stops treating Trump as if he’s president is the minute this all stops.

2.) Tax cuts almost never help the consumer and they uniformly never help the worker. They’re kickbacks to the super rich from the politicians they own that do not get reinvested into the economy, they go into Swiss banks or yachts. Stop framing tax cuts in lying ways.

3.) Sam Nunberg is absolutely the name of a secondary villain in a later Police Academy sequel after everyone gave up trying and… really… what is the Trump junta other than the villains in a lazy Police Academy sequel.

4.) What scarier phrase is there in the language than “I’m with big business and I’m here to help”?

5.) You know you’re from an interesting family when you know who drew a penis and balls in the dust on the back of a car by their particular art style.

6.) The neologism NSFW has always given me a chuckle because, in most cases, work is the thing that’s actually unsafe for anybody.

7.) Wooden nickles are collectable, quite often worth more than five cents and, therefore, it’s actually metal nickles you shouldn’t take.

8.) When your society encourages the idea that success should be a function of people who “aren’t afraid” to lie, cheat, steal and be selfish to get there, you’re going to end up with “leaders” that are total sociopaths. This is just the end-game of that trend.

9.) Ways that the Terminator series and Weezer are the exact same thing: just ignore everything after the second one and it will be awesome forever.

10.) George Lucas had hoped Jar-Jar was going to be so popular that he would inspire a popular dance craze called the Jar-Jar Can-Can.

11.) Your narratively disjointed story of a leprechaun’s pub crawl through the streets of Kingston Ontario will be called HARRIGAN’S WAKE.

12.) I want a youtube channel just so I can open and close every video with the phrase “Having a catchphrase to open or close your youtube channel insults the intelligence of everyone involved” instead of “WHAT UP, YOUTUBE!” or whatever.

13.) If only religious extremism was, like, people confessing while bungee jumping and drinking Mountain Dew.

14.) Has anyone told the fake President that saying “believe me” is his tell for the fact that he’s lying? If not for the fact that everyone lets him win, he’s gotta be the worst goddamned poker player on Earth.

15.) You could make two or three entire administrations full of profiteering spineless hatemongers with the amount of profiteering spineless hatemongers who’ve already left Trump’s junta of profiteering spineless hatemongers.
