Sickening

Some news: My daughter, Sarah Thorn, is in this new play by Tom Hanks (yes THAT Tom Hanks) playing at The Shed in NYC until Dec. 21. Hasn’t opened yet, but tickets will go fast so get ‘em now!

And get @hanks coffee while you’re at it. Every penny made goes to supporting our troops.

Saw this guy “living” it up today with cards, whiskey and a cigar.

Release the Epstein files!

Can you turn down the guy in the Oval Office?

Someone must have spiked the Yankees drinks in Toronto.

Actually, Toronto is just better.

Saw this 1954 Ford Crestline Skyliner in a parking lot today. I talked to the owner. Apparently it was a limited-production model that had a transparent, blue-green tinted Plexiglas "bubble top" over the front two-thirds of the roof. Red interior. Beautiful car. #cars

What’s the story? Two unopened chocolate jello deserts left on the steps of a parking lot. Forgotten? Left for someone?

You were great, counselor.

Now, instead of boycotting ABC, there needs to be a boycott of all the stations owned by Sinclair and Nextar who aren’t running Jimmy Kimmel’s show. At the very least, there should be a boycott of anything that runs in what was Kimmel’s time slot.

At the very least his keys would be taken away and he’d be cut off from consuming any more alcohol.

When churches empty out because of the “rapture” they should be used to house and feed homeless people.

I think the United Nations should be moved to The Hague, an international city of peace and justice.

If they’d done their job he wouldn’t be in the White House at all

How long before Trump starts regulating streaming services?

Got ‘em all!

Please share: My name is David Costello. I am a lifelong Mainer and Democrat running against Susan Collins. I too am concerned. I am concerned with endless decisions Susan Collins has made. We need to turn a page, retire Susan and take back the US Senate. Please watch and share:

I was already most the people here. Now I’m following more. Thanks!
