There was a time in this nation’s history when things like the Federalist Papers were considered the best way to present one’s argument and influence public opinion. I’m usually leery of romanticizing the past, but…fuck.

As Mark Evanier said:
Trump announces that he will soon be “issuing an Executive Order authorizing the imposition of sanctions against current and former officials of the Government of Turkey and any persons contributing to Turkey’s destabilizing actions in northeast Syria.” Oh, great.

“Let’s work out a good deal!” is the first line from a young children’s picture book where Gordon Gekko is a cutesy anthropomorphic lizard who sends the economy on all sorts of adventures with his fuzzy finance friends.
You can find it in bookstores everywhere in the darker timelines.

Is he on WWE SmackDown in the magical fantasy land that flounders in the creases of the decomposing jello between his ears? Does he think he’s the face? What the fuck is happening?
