After reviewing the candidates in the primary against Henry Cuellar I will be donating to Ricardo Villarreal. I can't do much but I would like Cuellar off the ballet. We shouldn't have a Trump pardoned House Rep in Congress.

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

Here's what the first draft of a novel looks like. I finally made it to Level 2. The level of most evil edits. Look at me killing my darlings.
I've been having life issues and have been absent here. But as you see, I aint been idle.

5 miles from home
No point goin further
It's freezing and empty inside
From the boy I was
For the man still alive
Time stole the fire of pride
Absent bodies of pictures
Shrouds for the martyrs
Outlined in nicotine stain
Blast shadows of life
All that I killed for
Love, now a Ghost of Pompei

My embarrassment as an American will end when we oust the fascist regime at the midterms and I’m doing everything I can to help make that happen.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.
We really are not a very good-natured country.
