    You just go and lay your hands
    On a fantasy football fan
    And I think that you might finally understand …

    We're in complete agreement on gun control policy.

    But the AP did Vance a little dirty with that headline.

    Let's take another shot with Melania, shall we?

    Raven hair and ruby lips
    Sparks fly from her fingertips
    Echoed voices in the night
    She's a restless spirit on an endless flight

    Woo hoo, witchy woman
    See how high she flies
    Woo hoo, witchy woman
    She got the moon in her eye

    Well, I know you want a lover
    Let me tell you, brother
    She's been sleeping in the devil's bed
    And there's some rumours going round, someone's underground
    She can rock you in the night-time 'til your skin turns red

    Oh boy, you ought to see what some of my high school girl friends post on Facebook. They're readying for civil war, already sure the fix is in. Mind you, they are all wealthy white women who live in gated neighborhoods in Scottsdale or Mesa, with jobs in real estate or healthcare.

    It's as if they have an assigned bat signal and special language codes; one fires up, and the rest reply with memes of Trump as a virile strong man, or with just the flag.

    I've held back by convincing myself that they're merely sharing a groupon for botox. That's the only way I (sort of) keep my sanity.

    They are that stupid and they will do it. And it will backfire. Again.

    Agree and agree.
    AP has deleted the initial tweet.
    (If only all MSM were as careful with how they quote Trump's word salad.)

    Today's journalism dilemma: If it's a digital story, of course word salads should be quoted in full, or at least linked.
    But how do you fit word salad after word salad after word salad in traditional newspapers? There aren't enough holes. And these word salads cannot be properly paraphrased.

    Hey JD chucklefuck, Uvalde had security. It waited an hour to respond. An armed security officer was on campus at Parkland. He stayed outside.

    Maybe if people didn't have weapons of war readily available to civilians, security officers wouldn't neglect their duties and try to save lives.

    Oh, boohoo. Even with context, Vance's quote is soulless and worthless.
