"Trumpโ€™s Stalinist effort will fail because Trump was always a joke. All the surveillance and snitches canโ€™t change that, but he has to be stopped before he turns the U.S. into a joke."

Where did all the jokes go? Find out on this week's Keep The Sabbath With Me. Linked below.

"If we are good boys and girls and stay close to our phones, take our Xanax and have no desire to leave the city, we can get close to annihilation without anxiety."

Codrescu suggests that readers make up a pseudonym under which to do their reading, โ€œfree of the name they carry like a sack of potatoes on their backs and hear called out in derision or displeasure by parents and teachers.โ€ Itโ€™s a totally great idea.
