I know a surgeon who puts organs back in upside down.

I told him it wasn't funny, but he insisted it was an inside joke.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

My son asked if training to be a locksmith would be worth it.

I replied, “Of course, that’ll open a lot of doors for you.”

Q: Have you fired or disciplined the staffer who posted the video from your account that included the Obamas?

TRUMP: No I haven't. That was a video on voter fraud.

I believe in:

Love over hate
Inclusion over exclusion
Acceptance over rejection
Hope over despair
Truth over lies
Harmony over discord
Serenity over chaos
Peace over war

That this is in any way controversial is beyond my understanding.

"The only thing more powerful than hate, is love"

Together, we are America

The message of love and unity actually gives me hope. The burden of hate will overwhelm the haters, but the message of love might break through to some.

First, there are no policy victories.

Second, this will be a distant memory in November. Trump & his ilk will have committed hundreds of more vile acts by then.
