Strong Words Fail to Topple Trump

When local community college student Chris Hayes walked into “Writing Basics” class Tuesday morning he sensed that history was in the making.  “I just saw a headline on Huffington Post: ‘Bill Moyers destroys Trump on Immigration.’  Destroyed!  I mean it’s not like yesterday when he was owned by Jon Stewart and slammed by Amy Schumer.  Destroyed!  I just assumed that Trump would have to resign.”  Hayes would have followed the news during class but Professor Hawkins is a “real dick” about smart phones.  “So when I walked out a class I ran over to the TV in the lobby that always runs CNN.  I was sure they’d be live from the White House talking about when Pence – it’s Pence, right? – would become President.  Instead, there’s some story about flu shots.”  When asked what it was about Moyers’ comments that were so damaging, Hayes admitted he pretty much just reads the headlines.  “I guess I should get going to Psych.”
