Yup! Just like the dialog...nearly every line's something funny, insightful, smart-ass, or otherwise eminently quotable.

Takes one to know one ... amazing, really, the amount of psychological etc insights MAGAs are able to muster when it comes to others.

"We'll send thoughts and prayers if ya can't afford bootstraps.

What?

Ya thought we'd send bootstraps?

There's billionaires in desperate need of taxcuts! Why don't you, FOR ONCE, think of the less fortunate among us?

I'll pray for you!"

You'd have to pry that chair from my grubby greedy fingers before I'd let it out of my sight!

It has that irresistible (to me) art deco vibe ... it and mid-century modern are like cat nip for me!

Oh sie freut sich total ungehemmt.

Innen drin ... 😉

Übrigens, ich weiss (da meine Eltern fast jede Unterhaltung seufzend mit den Worten "wie kann man denn seine Muttersprache vergessen" beendeten) mein deutsch ist mittlerweile --fast 20 Jahre in den Staaten-- doch sehr verrostet.Ich übe jeden Tag!

20 pounds of muscle mass thundering down the wooden steps, after having taken exquisite care to jump on that ONE spot on my chest with all four paws (claws more out than in) to wake me at o'dark 30 ... That's how he got his name! 😸

WOW! I completely underestimated her size. She's marvelous!!

Love that chair, btw...I obviously need (morebetter) friends who gift me stuff like that instead of überglittered picture frames&jewelry boxes. Oh & I'm over my sudden attack of the "fix the leather chair" impulse. What WAS I thinking? 😺

Also Frankie:

"And another 5 ...

And another 10 ...

And, to top it off ... say, 30 minutes!

Oh and, upon waking, I want a fresh serving of tuna in a clean porcelain bowl and double-filtered cool water.

Why aren't you writing this down?"

This particular federal government seems hell bent on proving one of the cornerstones of their political philosophy: that government is the problem.
