You're welcome! Although there was never any question of whether or not I was going to buy it! π₯°

(Plus steroids always do a bit of number on my emotional regulation!)
This was the first piece of news I saw today after ignoring news due to strep throat and lung inflammation. Why won't he and his cronies just die or get arrested already ?! I wish my dream about space aliens disappearing all the fascists would come true

05.02.2026 18:03 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Pre-ordered! Had some bank issues to sort out. Put a real crimp in my book buying since it was my book money account!

So am I. Added to my watch list.

If you're seeing this, you should read it this weekend, too. You will be glad you did.
Understanding would require thought, comprehension, and the realization that not all white guys see the world as they do
