Aaaah!

This weekend we joined the 21st century by going to Costco and buying a big-ass HD TV. So this morning I made coffee and flipped on MSNBC to catch up on the morning news.

And there it was: every orange pore shown in glorious high-definition color, every hair in the combover sharply defined.

I’m traumatized.

Much like the sun, you must never look at that thing full on when it appears on your big ass tv screen. You have to look from the side of your vision. This does double duty of giving it the perpetual side eye, which it always deserves.


Hope you enjoy your new tv otherwise😁

Seriously, MSNBC - do you let him do his own makeup? Does he use a palette knife? Do you just grab a random shade each show?

The room is nice but very compact. Seeing Trump that up close this morning gave me the same reaction.
