It would have benefited Trump to have watched Sesame Street.
It would have taught him how to not be a major asshole.
Big Bird's ass would make him a Sunday face. Just sayin'.

Weekly tradition: finding some rays of light no matter how dark the clouds. There is always some light. Finding it matters most when it is hardest.
Tell me something good.
What good thing happened in your life this week?
Felt brand new or felt like your old self again, just something good.

Paul Weiss Rifkin et Al will be very busy defending ICE and the FBI pro bono in the lawsuits that surely will be filed. The law firm claimed that $40m in pro bono hours kept their clients and associates from leaving. What an effing mess!
