STYLING FOR DOLLARS
Have you heard about The Donald’s $70,000 hair-styling tax write-off, as reported in Trump’s tax return data published by The New York Times on Sept. 27? In case you missed it:
https://www.thecut.com/2020/09/trump-taxes-trump-wrote-off-usd70-000-in-hairstyling-expenses.html
Now, “everyone knows” (as King Donald is fond of saying about things nobody knows) that his Highness is vain, but $70,000 for hair styling? Even my Vanity Fair-reading wife would consider $70,000 a rather extravagant sum to pay for getting her hair ‘done’ (would that women were ever ‘done’ getting their hair done). Just kidding, ladies — I keep forgetting I might do the same in your place if I had hair on my head, but my head is done with hair).
The moral of my story is that a hair in the head is worth two in the brush.
In any case, since all is fair in love and vanity, be warned there is a caterpillar that looks like Donald Trump’s hair — and, just like Donald’s hair, contact should be avoided under pain of….well, see for yourself:
That’s all I have to say off the top of my head. This post was brought to you as a public service announcement by the makers of Baldy’s Hair Tonic.

I spend about thirty bucks a year on razor blades to shave my head, Sr. Muse. Didn’t realize until now they were deductible.

With Trump, anything he claims is deductible, is deductible. Let’s hope he doesn’t deduct the cost of his lies — that alone would give him a multi-billion dollar write-off

Some people think he wears a wig, so at least this proves it’s really his hair….but to complete
The Look, he should wear a vanity license plate on his forehead.

With Trump, it’s “Easy come, easy go” (his money, not his hair, unfortunately).

Horrible as the hair on his head may be, it’s not half as horrible as the megalomania inside his head.

All power to the SDNY….AND to the election watchdogs who must fight with all diligence to make sure Trump doesn’t steal the election by any means he can employ. There’s no doubt in my mind than Biden will win IF it’s a fair election.

Likewise. I’m not even surprised that Trump’s base continues to support him no matter how much evidence of his corruption, lying, and disregard for the law and for the welfare of others is revealed.

It says something about how far apart our realities are. I think they know he’s horrible, but for some reason they think Dems are worse. I saw a sign by the road yesterday that said, “I’d rather get the virus and die than vote for a Democrat.” It’s twisted.

Cults aren’t about reason (or right or wrong) — they’re only about unquestioning loyalty to their leader. The cult of Trump is no exception (no matter that he would turn on any of them in a millisecond who began to think for him-or-herself).

I agree that the less he says the better, but I question why he should get any more symphony than he’s shown for the millions of other covid 19 victims (especially the 200.000+ of his fellow Americans who have died).
