Re: ICE Agents wearing masks: I would like to suggest a new idea in what the ICE people should be wearing.

Why not remove the masks, but issue all ICE Agents with a G-string (or, if they are shy, a Speedo)?

But no shoes or other acoutrement (that's French, those accomplished fashionistas who are "most select and generous chief in that"according to Shakespeare.) ICE Agents might add a sporty hat if desired. But the masks have got to go.

Passerby can insert dollar bills in said Speedos or G-strings. A new source

"Sharing actual footage of events that really happened is something that President Trump would never do.” One of the best lines evah! I used to say Trump was our Toddler in Chief, but lately he has "graduated" to Tween in Chief. And as a mother of two former toddlers and tweens, tweens are much more annoying. You can distract and scoop up toddlers, tweens not so much. Really Trump is the ultimate man-child that all following in his foot steps should be compared to.

After long years of Mr. Trump’s

False birther crap

I feel like Rip Van Winkle, awoke from my nap.

And some everyday facts that informed my world view.

Seem, in this year of grace to no longer be true.

Who’d believe that a felon, with 34 counts,

Who owes Ms. E. Jean Carroll enormous amounts,

Would still grant to Obama -

That’s Barry Hussein -

So much unpaid-for-space

In his tallow-clogged brain?

I was sure that Melania would take a quick powder if that nice Stormy Daniels spoke up any louder.

But she and her Barron have not given up,

Which just shows you the worth of an airtight pre-nup.

Alas, one hears nothing from Don’s elder daughter.

She was busy for years toting lots of his water.

But the water Trump’s carrying now?

In his veins!

Despite large Foley catheters

Acting as drains.

But he has introduced an exciting new notion:

A third term as the POTUS

With MAGA devotion.

Now, what’s good for the goose is sauce for the gander

And I’m confident MAGA trolls can’t gerrymander.

A third term for Obama!

I’m sorry, Michelle,

He would do the job well.

Before Fascists and shitheads

Steer us into Hell.
