I love when Chris publishes these interview quotes. They are laugh out loud funny, sort of a laugh instead of cry moment. As soon as I read “and away we go” I know I’m in for a treat.
Ian, Why stifle that laughter? I laugh out loud at the inaneness (is that a word?) of Trump's word salads as well as Chris' hilarious comments. His quotes deserve all-out laughter, sometimes followed by serious concerns about the folks who believe every word he says.
This is English...it is indeed now official. We make up words and steal from other languages as it suits us.
This ain't France that has an official club as to what is and is not a French word.
As Vincent said in "Pulp Fiction" the Frenchy's has to convert a McDonald's Quarter-Pounder with Cheese to metric (not cool) so it became "Royale Cheese"
Someone made the observation today that of all the bullshit merch stunts that the Defender-In-Chief, the mug shot seen by Right-leaning Independents will remind them that unlike his presidential rivals ---they can't vote for a man with 90+ indictments hanging over his head.
And, selfishly for me, I'm so glad that this is being successful. I'm so glad to continue to have access to your combination of thinking, insight and humor.
Congratulations!! Ditto to all the above great well deserved kudos but I also want to thank you for being honest about your vulnerabilities i.e., the dark day you recently experienced, losing your job, the fears and unknowns of your future, and the death of your father-in-law. Your audience of readers connect with you because we see ourselves reflected in your humanity, the highs and lows. I cheer you on to the next thousands of subscribers!!

Anyone smart enough to come to Chris's blog, should realize it's about value!
Talkin' value, he even gives insights on the music he's listening to as a pallet cleanser for all the distasteful political news he has to comment on.
Don't be like those hosers at Woodstock 1969, who just showed up, without the $15 three-day pass that I paid for!

* According to etymological sources, the word "hoser" originated with poor, Depression-era Canadian farmers who would use a hose to siphon gas out of other people’s farming equipment because they couldn't pay for it themselves.

Glad to support your work, Mr. Cillizza. Please keep it up!
P.S. Your analyses of quotes from various Trump speeches/interviews just kill me! I really have to work hard to stifle my laughter!

That's what pulled me to his blog...I always cherished his CNN "Interview Outtake Breakdowns"
Witty, wry, and insightful.

(Sorry Vincent ---no "with" on the actual menu)
I stifle my laughter because I'm generally at work when I read the posts! ;-)
