  16. Beto O'Rourke to the rescue.

    > These results are not lost on Trump. He understands that if he loses Texas, he loses his presidency. His cronies and corrupt friends lose the effective immunity with which they’ve operated this criminal operation out of the White House. They lose protection from subpoena, they lose the ability to defy the Constitution, defraud the American people. They lose the ability to destroy this democracy and deliver Trump or his chosen successor a third term in 2028.

  19. A Flopping Turkey In Washington DC

    I’ve directed a few shows in my time that were flops. Small audiences. Empty theaters. Never fun. Always embarrassing. Always a loss. We called flops and turkeys. I don’t think any of those experiences compares to the big show currently flopping in Washington DC as America tries to celebrate its 250th Anniversary under an extremely unpopular, flailing pedophile and adjudicated rapist still pretending to be president. 

    It’s one thing to give your all for a play or a musical and have the public not be interested, regardless of the quality of work. It’s another thing entirely to fail with egg on your face celebrating the biggest anniversary in the country’s history to date, simply because folks don’t bother to show up. 

    We always joked about a flop by saying the public stayed away in droves. From all of the photos and live coverage from DC, it looks like the droves are in on this joke. Oh, there are other celebrations around the country, but the public sure seems to be ignoring the big one put on by the big guy. You’d think someone so obsessed about ratings would take the hint.

    The myth is that Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird and not the eagle. Turns out we’ve got a real turkey of a 250th celebration on our hands. And this one is no myth.

  24. True story. Back in the 1990s, I backpacked around Australia. Everyone I met there thought I was Canadian, not American. After seeing how some rowdy Texans were behaving at the hostel I was staying at, I stopped correcting people. I even had a Canadian fella think I was Canadian (and he was smitten with me and offered to marry me and make me officially Canadian). Yes, I've been ashamed of being American since 1977, when I saw through the patriotic hype of the "Spirit of '76" crappo!

    In the words of #TheSmiths, #UnhappyBirthday, 'Murica!

    "I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
    I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
    'Cause you're evil
    And you lie
    And if you should die
    I may feel slightly sad
    But I won't cry..."
