‘Sad and Sorry Stew’ tough to swallow

-

In an effort to keep busy, I decided to author a cookbook. However, I abandoned the effort after one recipe due to an all-consuming meal from Washington, D.C., relentless­ly forced down my throat. It’s food for an undemocrat­ic America, what I call “Sad and Sorry Stew.”

Recipe:

One (1) demagogue or sociopath (preferably a very stable genius, or one whose two greatest assets are mental stability and being, like, really smart.)

Sixteen (16) minions (15 cabinet members and 1 press secretary preferred).

One (1) hammer made in America

One (1) basket full of lies, to include at a very, very, very minimum, the following really, really great quotes.

Quotes:

“Between 3 million and 5 million illegal votes caused me to lose the popular vote.”

“The media is the enemy of the American people.”

“Mexico will pay for the wall.”

“There’s been no collusion, folks.”

Add additional quotes as desired.

1. Install demagogue in the Oval Office.

2. Using hammer and minions, furiously pound the basket’s ingredient­s into bits that can easily be swallowed.

3. Serve cold. Yield: 62.9 million servings of alternativ­e facts.
