I would say I agree, except that the authoritarianism isn't creeping in this is boldly walking down the street, daring, even taunting anyone to challenge them! This is a push to create government in their own image rather than a democratic one!

My son Griffin knew that "Car 54, Where Are You?" is one of my all-time favorite comedies & drew this for my birthday. The likenesses of Fred Gwynne & Joe E. Ross are absolute perfection & he even included the theme song! I treasure it as one of my most prized possessions.
Thanks Griff π

Iβm sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.
