Well, Dick Cheney has now entered hell. Got 5 military draft-dodging deferments as a young man. He then got 3,500 young Americans killed in bullshit Iraq war - and at least 150,000 Iraqis - while guaranteeing we lost Afghanistan. Never has a first name been more accurate. apnews.com/article/dick...

Caution: If you see this woman at your airport, hope it's merely a propaganda video. If dressed as a pilot, do anything possible to keep her out of the cockpit. Kosplay Kristi has long history of incompetent impersonation including governor and secretary of homeland security. None have gone well.

True story: at a charity event in a large Blue city tonight. Live auction was a luxury trip to Nashville. Not one bid. No one. 400 people in the room. Crickets, surreal. Never seen this before, but I deeply respect the F*ck Red States sentiment.

The world is a better place without Kirk. Less racist, less misogynistic. Yet political violence is never the answer. We must be able to hold both ideas in our heads. Would be so much better for him to fall down an elevator shaft or electrocute himself in the tub - deaths worthy of his intellect.
