And I’ve stopped 7 wars. I’m very good at that. But don’t eat the pastrami. It’s very fatty. I think the UN does a very bad job. One time I threw a football 800 yards. I wasn’t even trying. The UN does a terrific job. Do you know the song Itsy Bitsy Spider? I wrote it. I’ve met Jesus. Beetlejuice!

"When politicians pretend

are an attack on drivers, they erode trust in public debate & distract from the real challenges, most of which their own political ideologies are directly responsible for. It's not solving problems or serving constituents, it's using them for political theatre."

I don't think the world would pay attention to anything America has to say right now. Trump has done irrevocable damage to America's reputation, and to regain any world stage footing, the loopholes that have allowed America to slide into fascism will need to be permanently fixed.

It is fully irresponsible to argue for an American return to global leadership. This country is deeply unwell and has no business leading anything until that's no longer the case. There's a whole world out there capable of tending to the world's problems. We must tend to ours.

A customer just came into the shop and bought 12 books for her friend’s birthday. She’s going to wrap them individually and write a different month of the year on each one, so her friend has a new book to read every month until her next birthday. And I think that’s just the most thoughtful gift.
