The master scoffed at a petition calling for his resignation, noting that many of the signatures were from dead people, Ukrainians, bears, his own underage grandchildren, and many illiterate peasants. But it turned out to be copy of his enemies list. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

I was referencing the year Frank and I were born—goodness, not this year!

Amaretti cookies. Hadn’t done this in years. The first time it seems like magic. And every other time.

The master’s wife, tired of his “pity party,” hired an actor to play the part of his friend. But after exhausting the subject of nihilist conspiracies and DINOS (“domestics in name only”) they quickly ran out of things to say. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

It was a very good year.

The master’s family asked what he had learned from his travels through time. He said that if he ever went looking for his heart’s desire, he wouldn’t look back any further than the 19th century, because they didn’t have gaslighting or telegraphs back then. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
After the rumble and smoke from the Time Machine subsided, the master rubbed his eyes in wonderment to see his manservant Mikhail standing before him. “How did you get to the 18th century?” he asked. It was good luck, since he was tired and ready for tea. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Presumably there is a period of training before they graduate to real candles.

I was born on the feast of St Lucy, commonly depicted with her eyeballs on a platter. (Don’t ask.) A happier tradition in Scandinavia where girls wearing a crown of candles serve coffee and cake. I failed to convince my daughters this would be safe and fun to practice at home.

His attorney’s latest scheme—a Time Machine—was far from his stupidest idea. In fact, by the time it arrived the master was convinced it could be “the Big One”—the answer to all his problems. But where—or when—to go? What was the golden age for masters? #TolstoysTalesofTrump

But worried about confusing the faithful by singing “All Are Welcome.”

The SCOTUS dismissal is a loss for the President’s election hopes but a big win for the “stabbed-in-the-back” narrative that will stoke his ongoing grift machine and the survival of Trumpism. His followers will continue the struggle. So must those who oppose him.
