Motherhood is all about making sacrifices and supporting your children, no matter how outrageous their decisions may be. I’ve learned to accept the fact that my son Lawrence (whose friends rudely refer to him as “Chunk”) wants to be a “Goonie.” But this? THIS? Nothing in Dr. Spock’s many voluminous books could have prepared me for housing a nearly seven-foot-tall, three-hundred-pound slop-eating human wrecking ball known only as “Sloth.”

Look, I get it. Emotions were running high, the kids were all found safe, and they even grabbed enough of One Eyed Willie’s rubies to save our homes from being demolished. We were all overjoyed.

But then Chunk told Sloth in front of everyone, “You’re going to live with me now,” which totally put me on the spot. It’s like when he would ask if one of his little friends could sleep over right in front of them. Only instead of a seventy-pound child for one night, it’s a disfigured linebacker that could rip a normal man in half like a sheet of paper forever.

Trump Is The Best President Of My Life Unless You’re American

Every day I become more grateful for the election of Donald Trump. All praise. Millions of millions of people have worked to destroy the American empire, and all failed. Donald is succeeding, speeding the process by about a decade, I’d guess.

Likewise I and many others have hated the neoliberal trade order for decades: since the late 80s in my case. It was designed to destroy countries;sovereignty, making it impossible to truly regulate investors, to run industrial policy or even, in rich nations, to keep wages up. As a Canadian, ever since the FTA Canadian manufacturing has proceeded on a slow death march, till instead of selling the US more good than the US sells us, as was historically the norm, we now buy more goods from the US than vice-versa. (The trade surplus is due to energy.)

As the twentieth anniversary of the Glazer family’s tenure as owners of Manchester United approaches, it’s a struggle to see how it could have been any more disastrous. Over £1 billion in debt, dressing room dramas and fan protests every other week, cost-cutting practices from new part-owner Jim Ratcliffe that would make George Osborne blush […]

The Willy-Nilly System of Governance is a hybrid model that brings together both definitions of the term willy-nilly: “in a careless way without planning” and “whether you want it or not.” That’s right; the word the system is named after is nonsensical and has two completely different meanings, which is in no way a metaphor for the chaos it has already caused seven weeks into its implementation.

We here at the Trump administration are proud to combine the best aspects of both meanings of willy-nilly to make governing decisions that are both haphazard and unpopular.

Some people seem stumped about our strategy of flipping positions back and forth seemingly at random on matters of huge importance, like tariffs and wars. But that’s only because they think we have a strategy. We’re just doing whatever we feel like with no foresight, illustrating one of the Willy-Nilly System’s central tenets: There are no wrong answers because we should not assess any of our decisions before implementing them.
