Week 63 news roundup
Notable line from article (emphasis mine):
Senior administration officials said that the president has been known to affect an Indian accent and imitate Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who in an Oval Office meeting last year told him, “Never has a country given so much away for so little in return” as the United States in Afghanistan.
This doesn’t seem to have attracted much attention, then again, Trump is the least racist man on Earth. But still…

They’re intending to loot Afghanistan.
It’s take alot of effort to go into a Piers Morgan interview and yet end up looking like the comparatively bigger lout
From trickle down economics to trickle down infrastructure.

Where 'th jerbs at?
When my 3yo daughter cleans her plate at dinner, we have a little ritualized joke where I pretend to be confused and concerned that the food has disappeared to: “______, um, where did all the food go?” and she answers “my mouth!” and we celebrate. There’s a metaphor in here somewhere…
