"What could paw-sibly go wrong," says Bubsy, repeating his iconic catch phrase when his friends dared him to dress up like a girl. Bubsy looks at himself in the mirror. Suddenly, he realizes that this was the only time in his life something had ever gone right. "_Oh_," she says.

Hillary warned us about Trump. We didn't listen. She was right. Kamala warned us about Trump. We didn't listen. She was right. At what point are we going to learn that we need to listen to women who warn us about the orange menace?

I guess that's a part of resisting him, too: can you hold on to your standards in the face of such overwhelming temptation to abandon them Just This Once? I'm not judging anyone who doesn't, but maybe that's the real test here: not letting him change who we are. He really is Satan, isn't he? (2/2)

On the one hand, I don't generally wish death on anyone. It's a personal guideline of mine; I've seen too much death. On the other hand, I wonder if - once he's gone - the Annoying Orange's cult of personality will fade. Is it still wrong to want someone as unequivocally evil as him gone? (1/2)
