Recapping “Grab’em by the Pussy” Anniversary weekend

Raise your hand if you thought that Steve Bannon calling it “Billy Bush Weekend” was utterly charming. Poor Donald, pulled into that dastardly Billy Bush’s excursion to Pleasure Island. (Oh, where was Jiminy Cricket when Donald needed him?)

For some reason, that’s not quite how the rest of us saw it. But not to fear, the so-called “failing New York Times” has been keeping track of examples of the fine and distinguished behavior of Donald Trump in A Republican’s Guide to Presidential Ettiquette.

Some examples from a very long list:

Criticize victims of that hurricane still living without drinking water or electricity by saying they “want everything to be done for them”

During a visit to some of those victims, throw rolls of paper towels at them and tell them they should be “very proud” that only 16 people have died so far, unlike in a “real catastrophe”

Attack a senator battling terminal cancer

Pick nominees to the federal bench who call a sitting Supreme Court justice a “judicial prostitute” and refer to transgender children as part of “Satan’s plan”

Campaign hard for a Senate candidate; then when he appears likely to lose, say “I might have made a mistake” and later delete your tweets supporting him

Behave so erratically and irresponsibly that senators of your own party resort to saying you’re treated like an adult day-care student to keep you from starting World War III

And that’s in just the last week.

Poor Donald, he gets blamed for everything he does.

And now, the next Despacito. This is from Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Hamilton guy, in this Reggaeton mashup of Maria from West Side Story and Puerto Rico.

Makes me want to dance.

As for me, I had a tremendous weekend. I went dancing for the first time in <number redacted> years. Wore my stilettos. Danced with Jonathan, never met him before… and never will again! Fun anyway. Woot!

I ain’t dead yet.
