What will it take? I ask this question in greater detail on my blog (link below) but essentially I am asking this: what realistically will it take for MAGA to finally admit Trump's presidency (his SECOND presidency, for God's sake) has been a failure? seanobrienwriter.com/index.html

With five register choices, I was by chance waited on by the manager of my local B&N. With dozens of choices this morning, I was wearing my 2021 NaNoWriMo "Winner" shirt. This led to the manager giving me contact info to set up an event at the store. #NaNoWriMo #BarnesandNoble #seanobrienwriter.com

Blog I have a slight modification, or addendum to my earlier post about the Death of Truth that I believe is coming. My earlier post posited that Trump will not actually solve many of the problems he...

Not only will Trump NOT solve problems he promised he would, I think he will also pretend he's solved problems that NEVER EXISTED in the first place. I have some thoughts on this here: seanobrienwriter.com/blog.html

YouTube video by LesMiserablesFilm Les Misérables - Clip: "Javert Releases Prisoner 24601 On Parole"

Anyone else notice that Russell Crowe as Javert singing the opening bit when he releases Valjean from his prison sentence sounds a LOT like Mathesar from Galaxy Quest?

Trump just named Dr. Oz as his choice for the leader of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. At this point, with all the TV hires, isn’t it just a matter of time before Trump names a FICTIONAL TV character to his administration? Chime in with your selections!
