I just spent a little time doing that over at Fox. As far as I can tell, they continue to think that daddy Trump should just do whatever needs doing without any questioning, that the true threat to this country continues to be people that think differently than they do, and that Russian tampering with the election is…

You’re saying what’s going on now isn’t insanely dangerous?

Awww, jinni, I hope you’ve gotten some sleep now. Please, go outside. Plant some things. Take a walk. Stare at the stars or the clouds. Listen to the birds. Feel the breeze. It’s all still here, just breath it in. We need you, dearie!

I know this is a small point, but the idea of President Sessions horrifies me even more than all the other ideas that horrify me.

I hope you’re right. He seems like an idiot to me, but I hope I’m wrong.

We already know they will believe anything, though. It’s how we got here.

It’s one thing we have in common.

Are we? Are we really? Are you saying there is something to be hopeful about? If that’s what you’re saying, please say it again!

He doesn’t seem very bright, to me. But I hope he has smarter people around him. So much rides on this.

He sounds like a wonderful grandfather. You are most fortunate.

Because old adults are still adults, and have rights just like “regular” people. As far as we can tell from this story he didn’t do anything wrong anyway, and his age does not make everything his fault.

Yeah, maybe so. It’s been a long time ago. It used to be famous for being terrible, though.

It’s the stupidest airport I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve been through Atlanta a number of times.

The point he is making (clearly), is that his splant hurts. It’s not kind to laugh at someone with a broken splant.

I don’t, though. I need more specific details.

It’s a good word. I believe it describes something between a “slant” and a “splat”, and refers to what happens inside your head after five minutes of reading about what the Trump administration is up to on any given day.

You would be more believable if your attitude was not so combative and defensive. I am unmoved, for example, by the argument that trophy hunters have had their feelings hurt by environmental activists over the past couple of decades and so are ignoring evidence of global warming happening right before their eyes. This…

So happy for you, and so relieved that at least some nations still value sanity.

They aren’t even pretending to be embarrassed about it anymore, either.
