Which wars were the dumb, politically correct ones? I'm sure there are more than a few veterans who would like to know.

Did they not allow cell phones in this event? Surely someone has to mention it...

Why is it notable that he left with his children? Is that not a common practice?

My oldest is really into Metallica - it's been fun watching him discover them for all the reasons I liked them in my youth. I gotta say, I'm not mad about them reappearing in my regular music rotation.

I only regret that I had but one Washington Post subscription to cancel (which I did during the endorsement fiasco).

When asked if she plans to remove her protest sticker, Gery replied: "I'll take the sticker off my pass after Trump takes his name off the Kennedy Center."

I believe the proper term for that is "extra judicial killing."

I'm old enough to remember a time when she would not allow the words "Donald Trump" to escape her mouth.

Texas men indicted in plot to take over Haitian island and enslave women and children Gavin Weisenburg, 21, and Tanner Thomas, 20, planned to take over Gonave Island and murder all men on the island, prosecutors alleged.

Go home, 2025 - you're drunk.

"The men also plotted to recruit and hire homeless people from Washington, D.C., to overthrow Haiti's government on Gonave, according to prosecutors."

This just sends a clear and dangerous message that lawless, sandwich-wielding ruffians are free to terrorize our cities with their deliciousΒ coldΒ cuts.

Perspective | Is a giant lion statue being stored under a D.C. tunnel? I decided to find out. A photo recently published on a D.C. website showed what looked like a snout in a dark corner.

I used to enjoy Friday nights. Now I dread them as I brace myself for the next indignity to our democracy.

I feel like, at this point, the press can just start incepting things into his head:

Q: Last week you said everyone will get an annual allotment of free Skittles.

TRUMP: What?

Q: Free Skittles for everyone. You know...taste the rainbow.

TRUMP: Ah, yes. Skittles are great. I'll put Bondi on that.
