Couldn't help myself.

Enjoy this #TwinPeaks / #SilenceoftheLambs edit.

I think it's pretty cool.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

I played the hell out of that game

No hopes for me, I'm a Seahawks and Bucs fan, I remember when Parcells was coming to Tampa to coach, you never know in the NFL

I've followed the NFL since 7th grade 1979 and that sure sounds like he's the next coach of the Giants lol

He goes with the wind.
In the 2004 election, Kennedy endorsed Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry over George W. Bush.

Kennedy declared in a letter to his constituents that he was leaving the Democratic Party and joining the Republicans, effective August 27, 2007.

Forty years ago this week, Simple Minds made their debut on Saturday Night Live, performing 'Alive and Kicking' and 'Sanctify Yourself'. They were introduced by Madonna, who was hosting the show for the very first time. #OnceUponATime40

And "if you hear any noise, it ain't the boys" is one of my top ten shout-outs of all time.

Really going for the “Berlin in the 1920’s” vibe.

This performer at Trump’s Great Gatsby party should clear up any suspicions about whether or not he’s in the Epstein Files.

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Gotta love Tampa, I grew up there and this is no surprise

Drawing, titled: Five ways to get carried away by the devil A. Demon flying through the air carrying a woman like he's Superman saving her B. Man being dragged by his leg C. Firefighter's lift over the devil's shoulder D. Devil flying with man clutched beneath him in his talons E. Man riding the devil like a horse, but the man's facing backwards for some reason

A is for when you get really carried away and marry him

Policy aside this dude just a blustery, abusive, egotistical asshole who defends other blustery, abusive, egotistical assholes.

Truly, do we not have enough of those in politics already?

It's original, quirky and beautiful.

I’m a guy that still misses the Seattle SuperSonics 20 years later so yeah

Then the clowns went to Miami and super extorted them to get the Marlins park.
It’s cool and I’ve been there, but you notice, that they’re long gone kaching 💰💵

True then.
True now.

Last year visiting my late dad in Tampa, I was kind of amazed that the Costco prices were almost exactly like the prices in Tacoma

Even power needs a place to hide when the sky falls.

In 1933, Newly-Elected German Chancellor, Adolf Hitler announced an ambitious project, a Ballroom to be added to the Chancellery in Berlin. The ballroom sits on top of the Bunker. Trump is building the same, with a new updated bunker. Why? 🤔
