When this PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING DIES, I WILL UNASHAMEDLY CELEBRATE.

I will salt a margarita with tears of MAGATs, but there are so many that are breaking ranks with him that I suspect that not many will truly MOURN him other than going through the motions out of a respect that he's never really deserved or earned.

So, he’s not gonna get a Christmas card from you this year, huh (?)

WHEN THE NINTH LEVEL OF HELL FREEZES OVER !

I hope that I NEVER see an ad hawking his MAGA cap Christmas ornaments, either.

So much powerful writing Susan! I am pleased you have invoked a couple of British poets in support of your views. Maybe the coda should be from Shakespeare (as you mentioned Trump's time on the stage) I know that the Bard was talking about life as a whole but it applies to King Donald with bells on -

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.

Thank you for your comment and support. I appreciate both.

"Captain Bone Spurs recently ordered the resumption of nuclear weapon testing. That is just so old school." Sorry, but couldn't stop laughing! I'm not sure how you manage to put out the cleverest and most creative posts I've seen so far on substacks, but I surely am glad that I "found" you/that you and I met. I'm going to repost a portion of your column which I especially like. Cheers, Susan!

Your clarity and integrity serve up your word salad in attractive and appetizing ways.

Thank you for keeping it real and showing up often, to remind us: You don’t have to escape society. You just need to stop letting it scream in your ear.
