(100,108 posts)In the Simpsons episode "Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming", Sideshow Bob steals a nuclear bomb and detonating it with the intent of ending TV forever. Krusty, on the other hand, realizes the potential of being on TV 24 hours a day to land 100% of the audience, and goes to steal the Emergency Broadcast System signal. This is really kind of what this feels like right now. Trump is the only game in town and he wants those sweet, sweet ratings.

(42,770 posts)I just heard him say, "they estimated 200-240,000 deaths on the low side. This is bullshit but it plays well to the new number - which he is probably at least 50% responsible for.

(9,682 posts)A common double jig known as The Kesh followed by a slip jig (listen for the time change to 9/8) called Give Us a Drink of Water. Then at about 2:50, wait for it...two reels: Flower of the Flock, topped off by Famous Ballymote.
You, myself and millions of others will be dancing our hearts out on that glorious day which cannot come too soon.
