Weird.
Want to know who the actual political "donors" are behind networks of shadowy $2 shell companies? Or who is actually paying off politicians via networks of "PO Box" addresses?
Bad luck.

How long are 51% of Americans who voted in their last presidential election going to ride the rides in this carnival of fuckery?
I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means.
A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

Learned a new word I expect to use often.
We've so far heard Trump's reign described as an autocracy, plutocracy, oligarchy, broligarchy and technoligarchy. None accounts for Trump's defining feature: he is a pure narcissist, now unconstrained. There is no organising principle behind this; kakistocracy is the closest workable descriptor.
