I would like to remind everyone that Sesame Street has been mocking Donald Trump since the 1980s with a character depicted as a villainous, trash-loving real estate developer.
An earlier version was played by Joe Pesci, but he’s also been parodied as a muppet with orange hair.

Americans' preference for fantasy is why so many people love this week's assassination: a lone wolf kills the evil CEO, and thanks to him, we're now on the verge of toppling the power structure and entering an era of reform.

The effect of the assassination will be that CEOs insulate themselves even more, and when they do go out in public, they'll surround themselves with heavily armed security details.

Tough night in Hegsethland. The story is the kind of leak that comes directly from Donald Trump himself.
The most amusing part of it will be to watch all of the MAGAe who today were saying they would die on the hill with Pete Hegseth turning on a dime and suddenly saying, “Pete, who?”
