		<description>TheStig [3] -

&lt;em&gt;This column is one of the better, and among the longest, rhetorical questions I have ever read.&lt;/em&gt;

Heh. That got a chuckle out of me, I have to admit.  And thanks for the kind words!

John M from Ct. [6] -

&lt;em&gt;I&#039;d love to see the Dems in the House haul up the execs, though, and ask them to justify the hypocrisy on camera, in person, under the lights.&lt;/em&gt;

Yeah, me too.

Kick [15] -

I thought National Pi Day was 3/14?

Heh.

Just one short week away from National Pie Day, and how will we be celebrating? Do tell. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;Speaker Pelosi tells Blotus he can provide his SOTU address in writing or he&#039;ll have to reschedule until after the shutdown. &lt;/i&gt;

I know, right!? 

What better way to make her point than denying to PT that which he so desperately needs? Applause, attention, and accolades. Oh, yes... let the Orange Blowhole feel the effects of the Trump Shutdown by shutting him down. The state of our union is shut down, and so it goes! 

We will resume feeding His Neediness when he opens our government. Awesome. :)</description>

		<description>Speaker Pelosi tells Blotus he can provide his SOTU address in writing or he&#039;ll have to reschedule until after the shutdown.

My understanding is that the House of Reps invites the POTUS to do an annual SOTU - one of those customs/ceremonies we take for granted, but technically one she has control over. It is a brilliant move - denying Blotus the big ceremonial platform he loves and which he would use to spew a Steven Miller-written screed.

LOVE IT!</description>

		<description>The correct response to the Twitter Execs is to dump your account - which I did about 2 weeks after I tried it.   If you are curious about presidential tweets, Google  and it will direct you to a searchable data base.....without giving the rat bastard ownership of Twitter anything useful.  

Easy as pie....unless you are addicted...</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been thinking this for quite a few years now. 

But I&#039;ve given up. If I remember, Twitter put out a press release more or less when the president was elected, saying they were going to waive their standards for him because he was a public figure of great importance, or something.

I don&#039;t know anyone who didn&#039;t read that as meaning, he is invaluable to our brand. When you think Trump, you think Twitter. And confess it, you think Trump all the time - thanks to Twitter.

I&#039;d love to see the Dems in the House haul up the execs, though, and ask them to justify the hypocrisy   on camera, in person, under the lights.</description>

		<description>CW: &lt;i&gt;Today, the United States House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning racism and white supremacy. &lt;/i&gt;

The good news: Be it resolved that the House of Representatives has voted near unanimously to condemn the rhetoric that has been long espoused by the King. 

The bad news: It&#039;s the one from Iowa rather than the Mad King Comrade Benedict Donald Treasonous Trump residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 

Oh... so that there &quot;resolution&quot; kind of rings a bit hollow then, doesn&#039;t it? :)</description>

This column is one of the better, and among the longest, rhetorical questions I have ever read.  

If there is any redeeming feature to Twitter I have yet to find the it.  An unholy notional marriage between a gossip fence and an engineered addictive drug.</description>

		<description>Yeah ... but ... Trump made Twitter. Frankly, I paid no attention to Twitter and had no interest in it, and still don&#039;t. I&#039;d have probably forgotten it by now if Trump&#039;s Tweets hadn&#039;t been broadcast 24x7.

He is their greatest marketing asset. They will have to be forced to throw him out.</description>
