Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

1/ I don't knit much for babies. So when called upon to do so, I had to make it harder than it should have been and the yarn had to be purple. These were based on an 1880 pattern published in The Girls' Own Paper (G.O.P.), a British weekly story paper. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

#showmeyourknits this week is cables: So here is a ridiculous top-down patternless cabled poncho. By the time I got to a point that resembled an end, I had strung together at least 4 of the longest circular needles that I owned at the time. It took me days to bind off. #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.

It’s worth saying, in the wake of Trump’s bizarre and vicious Easter morning tweet, that the Republican Party could have him out of office by the end of the day. This is on his cabinet and every Republican member of Congress.
