Hey all... not sure this one needs much additional commentary. I'm pretty happy with it though! As I've said a thousand times, it's always hard to satirize such a self-satirizing dumbass, but hey, I do my best.
Until next time ….

The entire week's nonsense about the potential track of Hurricane Dorian was a grotesque version of Theatre of the Absurd. The end result: we have an absurdist in the Oval Office. Final diagnosis: The LK (Lyin' King) is bat$hit crazy and we are trapped in national padded room with the whackjob. If this is the (fair & balanced) explanation of the past week's events in the United States of America, so be it.
