You have no idea how much my friends loathe Trump. They’d probably coat him in treacle and stake him out in the sun near an anthill...

Funny, it makes me turgid.

The coffee was for dipping the toast, which had been…

Remember that Tom Hanks TV movie Mazes and Monsters? It was Hanks’ first leading role, and it was based on a novel that took extreme liberties with the true story it was in turn based on. The whole thing bought into the farcical idea that Dungeons and Dragons style fantasy roll playing was dangerous to teen mental…
