My kids have measles and ICE locked me up for two weeks because they thought Genova was a Latino last name. But at least the only refugees entering the country now will be white South Africans.

My kids have measles, there are no toys on the shelves, and I can't afford a steak. But at least there's no sign language interpreter at White House press briefings now.

“A campaign that raises $17 million and loses is more lucrative for everyone involved than one that raises $4 million and wins.” So much of politics is just The Producers.
