Tanith, riding with the Doc

And so, here we are. The labels are off. Fingers are getting chopped off left and right. Shit is on fire all over the place.

Snagged from the National Strategic Stockpile of Memes and Satire.

Your country, as you know it, ends next week. Be smart. Don't panic.

Agreed. And I think the Jimmy Kimmel incident shows us this approach works. It'd be nice if he and his fellow late-night hosts (who doubtless are still in the crosshairs) would remind everyone of that. We can end this.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde was nearing the end of her sermon for the inaugural prayer service on Tuesday when she took a breath and looked directly at President Trump.

“I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” said Bishop Budde. nyti.ms/4jtuyHA

What's that you say? There's nothing to celebrate today? Hold my jelly babies...

Wow. Had no idea about this, and the lady's name is the inspiration for my own online moniker. Tracking this series down immediately.
