“I just like making shit up and knowing that people die when I lie. I am the least most powerful man on Earth.
Is this thing on???”
5 hours on, I remain aghast. I don’t imagine many children even know what “intoxicating” means. How would one explain a belly button being “intoxicating”?? Most children, I would guess, find bellies silly. I did.
These creeps despise the very notion of “child” in “childhood.” Depraved.
10 months sober tomorrow (10 March 2026). I’m astounded. One day at a time often can be one hour at a time.

Hey, Pam Bondi, if the stock market plunges so far below 50,000 that 50,000 feels like science fiction, can we **then** talk about the Trump-Epstein Files???? #Epstein #Iran

Brian Kilmeade talking about bravery, but he likely doesn't even operate his own toaster at home or drive himself to work. To quote the great philosopher The Incredible Hulk, "Puny human!"

“Intoxicating.” “Pretend it is your grandpa.” I’m nauseated even attempting to phrase those. I can’t fathom such thoughts, to associate “intoxicating” with any child.
I’m fumbling for words, and I’ve worked as a writer for 30+ years.

Did an #AI bot write this cluttered, clunky post? My dead journalism professor is screaming wherever his soul abides.
"[T]he authorities in Los Angeles said." What authorities??? Los Angeles police? Then say "police." Mayor's office??? Say so.
