Disappointed to see the sovereign citizens who occupied Malheur not recognized even in the revision: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep sick, starving cattle on our land and enjoy french vanilla creamer, shall not be infringed.

When you get most of your meals from McDonalds and Taco Bell, deregulation is the last thing you want.

Too much “pink slime” turns your face red and your hair orange.

A restaurant like Chipotle really would have benefited from such lack of regulation…

That mook eats fried chicken with a knife and fork. I remember Jon Stewart mocking him for eating pizza with a knife and fork too. Pathetic.

The Thursday morning version

Is that the one with two sunny side up eggs, white gravy, sausage and bacon?

This guy. If only it were 1896, when you had kids losing arms in the machinery and you could sell poison as food and medicine and a guy who’s intriguingly fond of the name “Barron” could take his place with the other robber barons and nobody would say boo about it. America was great back then!

“overregulation costs our economy $2 trillion a year and reduces household wealth by almost $15,000.”

That might be true if the affected businesses distributed the alleged $2 trillion to US citizens per capita. For some reason I don’t think the titans of industry would do anything of the sort, but corporate bonuses and shareholder dividends would probably see a bump.

Upton Sinclair said that he wrote The Jungle aiming at the Nation’s heart, but he hit it in the stomach. Elect Dishonest Don, and we’re going to need a new Upton Sinclair – I don’t think reprints of The Jungle will get the job done.

Oh, shucks. I was hoping that Trump would suffer the consequences of botulism. He’s now just going to die of congestive heart failure from eating too much junk food.

The fingers aren’t big enough to hold the piece, but I see he’s lost the extra long tie he normally wears, the tie that’s meant for an 8 feet tall guy.

At what point do we get to call this the “Worst Run Campaign Ever”?
