I’m sure the so-called president will soon tweet about the “failing Fox FAKE NEWS. Sad!” And a follow-up tweet about the “loser who is disrespecting our sacred military” and still a third tweet inquiring “when will I get that giant glass presidential seal?”

I’m watching for their apology for planning and executing the breakdown of thoughtfulness and civility in American politics and society.

I have it down for January 2053.

“It got bigger and bigger,” Garofalo told Navy Times. “What I did I‘m ashamed of, and I didn’t mean to cause so much disgrace to the SEALs.”

Dude - You didn’t disgrace the SEALS. You disgraced yourself.

Garofalo is simply following the example of his commander-in-chief, whose Vietnam-era bravery battling STDs in Manhattan’s night spots is the stuff of legend.

So they retracted the story and issued a correction on the website. How many elderly Fox viewers will see it, though? Most just watch the television channel.

…which would be 90% of Fox viewers. Ages 75 and older is their core demographic.

From one phony coward to another…I suspect the glass is actually plastic and the seal is actually Russian.

He had a good mentor in the Short Fingered Vulgarian. As Little Donnie dose his minions follow his lead. When the person occupying the White House behaves badly it gives his cult followers licence to behave badly as well.
