The Tommyknockers has its moments. The main character’s drunken breakdown early in the book is as good (in its cringe-worthy unpleasantness) as any drunken breakdown King has ever written. And I rather liked the eventual depiction of the aliens.

So very true, especially since they have been sponsoring 3rd party sellers, to whom they owe no allegiance. People make purchases from these non-Amazon sellers (the “fine print” is so very fine), and end up getting screwed because the Seller has its own policies - usually very BAD policies.
Amazon is the new Walmart - when Walmart arrived, they were the villain of every small town in America. Amazon is the digital Walmart.
Dotardo lives within a teevee fantasyland where “ratings” are the only true measure of a person’s worth. He’s like a young child in the 1970s, blankly staring at the goober box on Saturday morning, absorbing crappy cartoons. TV is his best friend and most trusted advisor and a more pathetic spectacle I cannot recall.
For the sake of all that is holy, please don’t use the word ‘straddle’ in this context. I might never get out of therapy.
No, pretty sure he’s gonna get the military to pay for it.
At least, if it is anatomically correct, there won’t be any naughty bits dangling down so far as to impede tourists from walking along the Mall.
He’ll probably just get one of those fake Time magazine covers enlarged to portrait size and call it a day.
I’m guessing, that just like his legal team, no one is interested in the work, even if paid a nice retainer, because no one wants to make him look ok. “Oh, yeah? I didn’t want a portrait anyway!”
I think we’ve found our midterm GOP campaign rallying point- “we drained the swamp of oil paintings!!!”
I love how he can’t get the government to pay for his portrait so he’ll have to do it himself and everybody will refuse because they know he screws over his contractors.
I guess they want to save up for the 300' statue of Trump that’ll soon be straddling the Mall.
Well of course. Art is Liberal, and therefore Bad. Just like education and science.
This is actually a very wise move. Since most high level Trump government employees likenesses will be memorialized by court artist drawings, oil paintings would be redundant and unnecessary. Conte’ is just as good.
I thought this too - how petty can this Trump M——-f——r be? But actually Louisiana’s congressman Bill Cassidy has been hating federal-funded portraiture since 2014.
