...on the intertoobz today - in various forms:

Right now, somewhere in USAmerica Inc, there's a rube with a Nike swoosh tattooed on his biceps, who's desperately trying to chew his arm off.

Of course, it's not surprising that a bunch of Dumb-As-A-Stump Alt-Right Knuckle-Draggers would burn a product they've paid good money for - what I find surprising (and, frankly, a little disappointing) is that they mustered up the good sense to take the shoes off before setting them on fire.

I'll call that progress(?)

Blatantly. Patently. Obviously.

I re-read all the speeches from McCain’s funeral. Nobody attacked Trump. They *praised* honor, decency, character, bipartisanship, and placing country over party. What does it say about Trump that so many people interpreted this as an assault on him personally?

The Lines

Parallel lines have much in common, but they never meet. Ever. And that's pretty sad.

All other lines meet once, at a single point, and forever drift farther and farther apart. And that seems pretty sad too.

You Trumpsters better pray that liberals never regain control of the White House and Congress again, because the pay-back is going to be fierce. 

--Planned Parenthood Clinics on every corner.

--We're gonna paint Air Force One pussy hat pink and fly over the Bible Belt every Sunday at low altitude, dropping birth control pills and morning after pills and condoms and atheist brochures and feminist literature from the cargo bays.

--We're going to tax those mega-churches so hard, Joel Osteen will have to work extra shifts at Chik-Fil-A to make mortgage payments on a 3rd rate doublewide.

--Speaking of Chik-Fil-A, we'll nationalize the whole chain, and give franchises to any LGBTQ who had to put up with your sick-as-fuck cult leaders torturing them with conversion therapy. And we'll have fun coming up with new menu items - "Try the all new McPence; an over-boiled unseasoned chicken breast that you eat in the closet with your mother."

--We'll take all of your guns, melt them down and build a giant steel pyramid featuring the faces of Hillary, Bernie, Pelosi and Soros in bas relief.

 --Every park in every city will be renamed for a civil rights leader or a union organizer or a champion of Social Security and Medicare.

--Every Confederate statue will be replaced with a memorial to BLM or Immigrants.

--Public schools will be renamed for the kids your asshole "president" and Attorney General stole from their parents.

--The White House, and all federal buildings, will be permanently lit with rainbow colors, and powered by American Union-Built solar panels.

--DumFux News facilities will be converted to Family and Refugee Shelters. Hannity's office in New York will become a nice big unisex bathroom, complete with changing tables and complimentary tampons.

And every time one of your idiot Rube Whisperers complains about any of this, we're adding an openly gay character to a Disney movie.

By the way - every bit of that would have to happen in order to make the bullshit Both Sides argument carry the credibility of a below-average Bigfoot sighting.

The Welsh Guards at Buckingham Palace yesterday.

Respect for others underpins all we do in the @BritishArmy so it was no surprise that the @WelshGuardsBand paid tribute to musical icon and inspiration #ArethaFranklin at Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace today. @RoyalFamily #ArethaFranklinFuneral #RESPECT pic.twitter.com/ho7fvjEuMh
