I think an avocado would make a better DHS Secretary than anyone Trump is likely to nominate
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

We can only hope that's where yours went.

Absolutely true, Jess.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Markwayne Mullins is apparently the new head of DHS, so I think we're gonna long for the avocado.

Pretty much always longing for the avocado.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I think we got the intellectual equivalent, but perhaps I sell the avocado short. Sometimes it really irks me how much monitoring I get when guys like Trump and Markwayne are just dumb on their dad's money. Still coughing, still crippled.(Maybe one day, one of them will be over. cough's slightly better,but not as much as Mom's trying to cheer me into.)

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Hello! Still alive here, still hanging in there, and now wtf'ing at the instruction to head back to the office next week as if nobody's firing at us (until now the government paid businesses to pay their workers for absence, but now they're making the claim that if workplaces have a shelter then they can be opened. I'm making the claim that they're out of their minds and if they wanted a war where ballistic missiles are launched at us then it comes with not being able to go to the office, alas). And really, it's not like I'm with extra resilience or patience to this government's bullshit after 2.5 years from hell.
Speaking of war, one of my favorite jokes about this war is that it's not a world war because nobody invaded Poland (yet).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That's brilliant.
