A favorable omen?

Good lord. Trump has tweeted or retweeted (usually himself) 26 times today. So far.

Bill Kristol sees it as a favorable portent.

I gotta say, though, what’s with the bad-mannered rubes in the huge hats?

I know, we’re supposed to think “Texas Rangers – hooray – manly men – saving us from the Invasion By Brown People.” But I don’t think big hats will save anyone from anything.

Anyway. Donnie Two-scoops is in a lather.

    the American people are behind you

    Depends on how you define the American people. This statement renders more than half of America as not American.

    YNNB, I’m holding a frying pan – one of my grandmother’s old cast iron ones.

    Frying pan? Good. We’ve got three in two sizes. I’d pick a large one. I like to think of it as a big, iron subpoena. Pitchforks and torches are so cliche, though they are considered traditional in some circles. I think a hazmat suit and a big metal drum would be perfect for this particular toxic waste disposal job.

    There’s no danger of having to clean up any brain matter.
