Gelatinous Shitberg and the Butt Snorkeling Toadies would make a great name for a band.
Jim Wright: The "evidence" Trump released this week allegedly showing foreign interference in our elections only shows those foreign machinations helped Trump himself. No, Trump's butt-snorkeling toadies don't hate him so much that they let him go ahead and pants himself on national TV. Rather they're sloppy and they're stupid and they believe fanaticism is a functional substitute for attention to detail and expertise. The horrifying part is that cultish MAGAs don't care, they believe anything Trump says.

Act 2
Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation's timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. *

A story in two acts: Act 1
@pixelatedboat|
Wow, this extract from Wolff's book is a shocking insight into Trump's mind:
On his first night in the White House, President Trump complained that the TV in his bedroom was broken, because it didn't have "the gorilla channel". Trump seemed to be under the impression that a TV channel existed that screened nothing but gorilla-based content, 24 hours a day.
To appease Trump, White House staff compiled a number of gorilla documentaries into a makeshift gorilla channel, broadcast into Trump's bedroom from a hastily-constructed transmission tower on the South Lawn. However, Trump was unhappy with the channel they had created, moaning that it was "boring" because "the gorillas aren't fighting"
Staff edited out all the parts of the documentaries where gorillas weren't hitting each other, and at last the president was satisfied. "On some days he'll watch the gorilla channel for 17 hours straight," an insider told me. "He kneels in front of the TV, with his face about four inches from the screen, and says encouraging things to the gorillas, like 'the way you hit that other gorilla was good'. I think he thinks the gorillas can hear him."
