Donald Trump: They're calling me a king. I'm no king.
Also Donald Trump: Here's a video of me, as a king, flying a fighter jet that says King Trump, taking the world's most enormous crap over all the protestors who dare to tell me that I'm not a king.

'I finally got to see my Doctor on Monday and I showed him the rash on my bottom but he just ignored me and kept pushing his cart through Costco.
The #NoKings march in Houston, TX began at a lovely area known as Discovery Green. Discovery Green has a very nice playground, so there were many folks getting ready to march with their kids (myself included) as their kids play on the playground.
As the march is about to start, I hear a mother call out to her son to get him off the playground. "King! King! It's time to go."
Oh, the irony.

We are in the throws of a government shut down and our fearless leader is firming up his birthday plans for June. Why wouldn’t the White House host a UFC fight?! Totally normal…

title text: When Galileo dropped two weights from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, they put him in the history books. But when I do it, I get 'detained by security' for 'injuring several tourists.'

Single panel comic. No hair is speaking to hat. No hair says "Sure, when *Einstein* suggests using the Lorentz transform to explain the connection between velocity and time people call him a genius. But when *I* suggest it, it's 'basic physics' and 'undergraduate stuff.'" Hat replies "Such a double standard!"

My doctor says I have an infection and need antibiotics. But my wife, a microbiologist, says I should take probiotics. So, I guess I'll take both and let them battle it out to see who wins.

Trump is trying to rule like a king. Sending masked agents into our cities. Targeting immigrant families. Terrorizing our communities.
But this country does not belong to kings or dictators. It belongs to us.
On October 18, we rise to say #NoKings !

The ironic part of trying to get a diagnosis for ADHD is that I have to focus long enough on the task of finding a psychiatrist/psychologist to get the diagnosis, but it's kind of tedious task, and I'm getting easily distracted.
