I don't care if he's "legal."

His prefrontal cortex is not even fully developed and y'all are weird AF.

He was born the same year a lot of y'all graduated from high school.

America: The Final Season

I support the same actions with a different motive.

This administration is really telling Americans to get it back in blood and it's becoming harder every day to see any other path forward.

The FY2025 House Budget reconciliation and Trump Administration Tax Proposals: Budgetary, Economic, and Distributional Effects — Penn Wharton Budget Model We estimate that incorporating the Trump administration’s major tax proposals into the FY2025 House budget reconciliation would require that the provisions mostly sunset by December 31, 2033.

Remember in Season 6 of Game of Thrones, when Cersei destroyed the Great Sept of Baelor with wildfire?

I rarely think about GoT these days, but I've been thinking about that scene for ✨no reason at all✨ lately...
