"Stormed off"? Bullshit!

He haltingly lurched to his feet, resembling nothing quite so much as a sclerotic manatee. Then, muttering to himself while hunched over in the manner of Quasimodo suffering an attack of sciatica, he shambled haltingly offstage, pausing only to grab hold of Kristen Welker in a desperate attempt to remain semi-upright.
Mentally and physically - this is not a well man.

Probably lost his balance stomping on the microphone like the spoiled toddler he is. I would've knocked his hand away or dug my fingernails in.

It looked like he was trying not to faceplant. I with she’d backed up as soon as he reached for her. *sigh*

I think if we wrap up (a photocopy of) his $250 bill in a shitty diaper, stab it with some rusty spikes, fill it with bad intentions, and set it on fire we might just get some traction on this “die already!” spell.

Or maybe New Yorkers will spew enough hatred to get that fatal stroke percolating tonight.

The Abyss of non-existence, the end of life, the big question - what comes after death?

Trump knows it, tries to hide from it, but . . . the panic is obvious.

Screaming outrage into the face of the Grim Reaper.

He'd probably live a lot longer if he quit his job - the one he isn't doing very well, and never has.
