We’re told by each MAGA factotum
To mourn Charlie Kirk, but not quote him.
Once a patriot’s dead,
If you note what he said
You’re as bad as the bastard who smote him.

Alligator Alcatraz says open, but Ron has a little problem...
"The state can either pass up federal reimbursement for hundreds of millions of dollars spent to build and operate the facility, or take the money and face an environmental review, which would risk halting the center’s operations."

Dearest Martha,
The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.
