Kayfabe becomes him. “Get the British Open for me”. Bring me the head of the secretary of state for Scotland. Turnberry had once been a site for The Open, but before Trump bought it. The crime: Trump has his newly appointed US ambassador to Britain tell the Minister for Scotland that Trump wants the British Open golf…

State Department went on witch hunt to find out who liked Chelsea Clinton's anti-Trump tweet
It really kills Donald Trump that the U.S. doesn’t have labor camps to send truculent dissenters to. If he had his way, no doubt Chelsea Clinton would be hauling Chicken McNuggets up the White House Grand Staircase 24/7 like a Sherpa, as fitting punishment for being far too smart to support Donald Trump.

Tillerson talks to House committee about Kushner's meddling, Trump's reluctance to confront Russia
When it comes to heroism in the current government, there’s a pretty low bar. Rex Tillerson may not have had any business serving as secretary of state to begin with, but he allegedly called Donald Trump a “fucking moron,” and so he’s kind of a hero to me. Sort of like The Penguin betraying the Joker…
