Well, he’s up late most nights Truthing, so she might be up and out of the bedroom before he’s awake.

Or maybe they have separate bedrooms - who knows….

I Hate His Unnecessary Use Of Capital Letters.

Shaq:

Pizza is expensive. To save 50% on the cost of pizza, buy another half a pizza when you finish the first half.

Shaq, playing four-dimensional chess:

Every time you eat a slice, buy another one. That way you’re only paying for one slice of pizza but you get the rest for free!

So very, very sad and troubling. 🙁

And ironically, he’s using bronzer on his face to make himself look younger and more healthy. Wonder what he looks like without all that orange paint. You know - what Melania sees every morning.

He just needs to accept that he’s an old man, and old men, esp. ones in poor health, look a certain way.

SCENARIO #2:

1. “Clean your rooms,” I say.

2. They disappear, and return to say, “our rooms are clean!”

3. I say “I’ll go check.”

4. “Go look,” they say, and confidently wait for me to check their rooms, which are spotless.

IF HIS ROOM WAS CLEAN HE’D *WANT* TO SHOW US.

SCENARIO #1:

1. I tell our kids: “Clean your rooms.”

2. They disappear for a while and return to say, “They’re clean!”

3. I say “let’s go check,” and stand up.

4. “Just a second,” they say. “Let us go make SURE they’re clean.”

5. They return a while later. I check. NOW their rooms are clean.

He used all caps on STARS, *and* it’s in quotation marks, like his “wisdom” from the other day.

Is there no one in the WH who knows how to use quotation marks correctly?

More importantly, is there no one in the WH who could lock him in a closet until 2028?

(They could slide pizza under the door)

Did he do so on the application for NYC mayor?

“Do you love Muslim terrorists?” was right after “desired salary” but before “available start date” and the spot for your three references….

None of that is true. None of it.

Why, though? What would be the point?

Other than “we can, so we will.”

Absolutely will give her credit - thank goodness she responded. It’s refreshing! 🙂

In general, though, there is little pushback. Like when he used the term piggy and no one said anything. I think that’s why what happened today is so noteworthy - and heartening.

My wife always tells me I need to get over my indignation (I was a writing instructor years ago) when people use quotation marks for emphasis.

Eventually it’ll be the norm, but I don’t have to accept it (folds arms defiantly).

I do love his use of quotation marks here.

I mean, I “love” it. 😂

He should have simply stopped after the word “war” and waited for her to respond. Then, when she said something stupid (which she would have) he should just read that line over again.

And again.

And again.
