Free him from his inner demon(s)?

Is every day TACO Tuesday now?

I have eyes only for Lizzie.

Taxation and regulation without representation. Go ahead, raise the pressure and give people less to live for. I’m sure that’ll work out just fine…

The sacrifice and courage of Soviet soldiers in the face of Nazi aggression is profound and worthy of admiration, yes.

Should be noted that Stalin was a Hitler-enabler and early ally, or at least subtle collaborator, leading up to the onset of the war. The western democracies should have done a better job of building a coalition with Stalin in the thirties, but failed, hoping appeasement and hand-wringing would do the trick instead.

Soviet soldiers also invaded Finland around that time and were complete assholes there, even if they did get their asses handed to them by a numerically-inferior, but fierce fighting source. It’s sad that most of the slaughter was inflicted upon Ukrainian conscripts who probably didn’t actually give a shit about annexing Finland.

On March 1, 2003, the Secret Service was transferred from the Department of the Treasury to the new Department of Homeland Security.

Also this.

No truer words weren’t never spoken.

Sam claimed he made thousands of dollars monthly by targeting the “MAGA crowd,” whom he described as “dumb” and easy to fool.

Dammit, I wish I’d thought of that. Except my country would probably throw me in prison if I had :(

How to do this but not get caught…this I must ponder.

Strong French Revolution vibes here

Getting Ron Jeremy vibes

The Greek gods did quite enjoy playing with the mortals for their own, often sadistic, entertainment. Trump is probably their favorite comedic character in the currently ongoing production.

Will he retroactively behead his previous wives?

At what point can they just not be called “representatives” anymore? It seems like their ability to actually represent constituents atrophied and died a long time ago.

Or, at least keep the “representative” moniker, but put “Lobby” in front of it.

When I fantasized about the country being overrun by ghouls, I pictured something more comforting, like World War Z or Shaun of the Dead or even Zombieland. But this…this is a sick and twisted kind of hell. Even worse than Walking Dead.

Maybe if all the birds teamed up to go apeshit on people, they might be able to stop things. Hitchcock and du Maurier were on to something…

The world isn’t going to end. It’ll stay right here, 93,000,000 miles away from the sun. Whether humans remain on it or perish due to famine/plague/disease, well, no one but (many, but apparently not all) humans cares, least of all the earth. Denying a bullet is flying at your face despite seeing the flash won’t stop it from completing its trajectory (metaphor).

Clutch those pearls, assholes. Don’t worry, your base is too stupid to cast blame on you. I’m sure your war-criming, pedophile-enabling, constitution-hating ilk will do just fine.

I certainly won’t be voting for anything remotely resembling GOP/MAGA, but I know plenty of people who will because they apparently can’t learn what would actually be good for them. Only the “undecideds” can really make the decision…Hopefully they bother to cast enough intelligent votes.

In Snow Crash, dentatas seemed like one of the more effective deterrents.

If only there were some way to provide a society where women felt safe, secure, and comfortable to willingly bring in and care for new life. If only.
