I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Trump is currently extolling the virtues of walls.

I'm sorry, "smart walls."

Walls that are made of steel, see-through, and somehow have drones.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Such a blunder sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder

He's so clearly just going on and on, hoping to make it look like he's being super tough even though he's having to cave on the wall. Which was never intended to be a concrete wall from sea to shining sea. Because there are natural borders that have been there for millions of years.

I imagine some businesspeople will come down hard on That Man if he tries to shut it down again. Especially with tax season ramping up.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Hmmm, conjecture he is only doing this 3 week thing so he can give his precious SOTU address.

I hate him so much.
