Apropos of nothing... It's really embarrassing how absolutely *terrible* I am at innuendo.

If *THAT* guy was directly behind me, I'm pretty sure my heart would be racing for reasons having nothing to do with fear and everything with hoping he's a top.

The US out of NATO has been Putin's dream since the 1980s. Trump is HANDING it to him.

Yuuuuuuup.

Donald Trump is the Anti-Christ.

I don't have to actually say it out loud, do I?

It's remarkable how many journalists don't know what an executive order is. English is not the official language of the US govt any more than it was a week ago. An EO is no more than the President's directive to exec branch officials about what *his* policies and what he directs them to **do**.

The GOP clearly doesn't plan on ever facing voters again in an honest election, and are fleeing the few town halls they hold in Deep Red districts bc even GOP voters hate DOGE. "Moderate" Democratic consultants, as always, offer GOP Lite: "We'll stop listening to voters half as much as the GOP!"

Hold up pictures of John Wilkes Booth, Charles J. Guiteau, Leon Czolgosz, and Lee Harvey Oswald

Boo so loudly and constantly that Trump leaves the floor.

Have I mentioned how much insomnia sucks?

Because it's a lot.

"Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms.”

Ah. Obviously, I missed the joke then.

I think it's the ship name for Oliver Queen and the "Arrow" original character Felicity Smoak.
