This is how reprehensible Trumpโ€™s assault has become. The WSJ (the WSJ!) has told Trump to knock it off in Minnesota. The editorial board also recommends gag orders for Miller and Noem. In conclusion, the board urges Trump to โ€œhave a heart.โ€ Well, good luck with thatโ€ฆ

Even the word itself is, wellโ€ฆ mellifluous.

Sounds to me like you were living in a bubble.

Are the New York Knicks engaged in some sort of conspiracy to get Mike Brown fired?

Jose Ferrer to Fred MacMurray and the crew in the Caine Mutiny.

I didnโ€™t think you would bee long in that business.

I know how you feel. When I was a child my imaginary playmate left me for another kid.

The Mets are unilaterally disarming.

Iโ€™m not sure thatโ€™s a health dividend.

Okay, so now Iโ€™ll keep noticing the frequency illusionโ€ฆ

What do you think about a State prosecution?

I hope he said โ€œThank Ewe.โ€

Can someone just stop the Jet game! Pro sports need a mercy rule. (Although if you want to argue that the Jets donโ€™t qualify as a pro sport team, Iโ€™ll accept that.)

I gotta work on that!

That happened to me in the Chinese capital. Now every time I go there all I hear is โ€œduck.โ€

Maybe I should have gotten a writ of habeas corpus before they got a rid of me. (Paraphrasing the eminent jurist, Groucho Marx.)

That could pave the way for a conviction.

I got kicked out too. They found out I was an extra large.

I wonder what the present value of that is.
