Great to be great again?

It’s great to feel great again. Thanks Donny and GOP for playing the tunes all Klan and Nazis Tiki-torchers can tango to. It’s also touching how the White House and Liberty Caucus make themselves available to Bannon and Brietbart white nationalists, just like other mainstreamers. And as masters of radical evangelical terror, I thank you for the government shut down threats. Hostage situations always make us come together as a nation.

In the face of floods you proudly display your climate denying bumper stickers. But dang, it’s been hard to read them underwater! Maybe a wall could help? I love your compassionate deportation of immigrant children, even in the face of Miss Liberty’s tears. And sending the second generation to fight in the Middle East was a brilliant stroke of gunboat diplomacy. Finally, trashing allies and embracing the Russian foes is a powerful demonstration of the art of the deal.

I never knew it would feel this good to be this great. So sad for our country.
