When Trump was involved in creating his book “The Art Of The Deal” he gave the farm away to the actual author. That guy got cover credit [unheard of] and half the profits [equally unlikely in the publishing world]
The author has spend decades telling people what an idiot Trump is.
imho people notice the problems; it’s getting the people with power to care enough to do something about the problems.

From the movie Cherry 2000. In the movie the hero has just lost his sex robot and is trying to date human women for the first time in a while.
I like the idea that Shakespeare was looking for some uncommon word and remembered hearing ‘weird’ and running with it.
Thanks.
I have to go, but here’s some books you might like.
If you like Neil Gaiman, look up Tanith Lee. Gaiman admits that she was his inspiration, and he stole a lot of his best ideas from her. “Night’s Master” is about a demon prince who travels the world seducing and/or tormenting humans.
Alan Furst’s “Night Soldiers” is a WW2 era spy story that reads like a cross between Ian Fleming and Franz Kafka. A young Bulgarian fisherman becomes radicalized after fascists curb stomp his kid brother. He travels to Moscow and becomes a KGB agent in the Spanish Civil War.
Colson Whitehead has two books about a 1960s Harlem fence. “Harlem Shuffle” and “The Crook Manifesto.” Reading them is like hanging out in a smoky barroom listening to some OG’s talking about life in the 1960s and 1970s.
Enjoy!
You are filth! You are garbage!! You are the lowest kind of scum that has ever polluted the face of the Earth! I want you to die slowly, but not too slowly because I want to be able to enjoy defiling your sister on your grave!!
Are we still on for Thursday? My Mom is making taco salad.
You live in an open society where everyone’s views and opinions can be expressed without judgement.
Except for this one, you filthy animal!!
This is why we have the [nsfw] label.
Also, you don’t want to know what I thought you did with that bottle.
Those burn me up!
Ooops, time for my meds…
My poppy seed bagel has entered the chat…
Also, deviled eggs are usually put out at a festival. Gunning down six eggs at a 6 am breakfast is gluttony. Noshing on a dozen deviled eggs over the course of an evening is not grotesque.
The word ‘weird’ is pretty weird.
Cleave is my personal favorite
I think it’s weird to eat a dozen deviled eggs in one sitting.
If they are going to do a ww2 comic, I vote for ‘Blackhawk.’ In the original version, Blackhawk was Polish, and his team came from all the Allied nations. Of course, they’d update the Chinese ‘pilot.’
[off topic[ Have you tried checking out thrift stores and yard sales?
Some MAGoo posted that he was fine losing his job if it meant that Trump’s policies were enacted. They are willing to eat a ton of manure if it means a lib has to smell their breath.
I only post this because I saw someone say that they’d never vote because Carlin had a comedy routine where he said he’d never vote.
Carlin was an iconoclast; I think he’d hate the idea that people were trying to turn him into an icon. He was an entertainer and happily worked with Fox Television to make a sit com.
Here’s the secret.
There’s a huge difference between not speaking to people and saying a few words.
If someone says “hello” to you and you ignore them, they think you’re snubbing them. If you just say “hello” back then they are usually satisfied.
Try timing your interactions. You’ll find if you spend even 15 seconds talking to people they’ll end the conversation themselves.
