This is what I noticed! I guess my disdain for sequels and remakes is a minority opinion. My despotic move would be to ban all sequels, prequels, and remakes, and perhaps even anything using CGI. Can't be a despot without pissing off a lot of people, right?😎

I would never trust Rubio or anyone in the Trump administration. But Angus King has zero credibility with me now, too. A pox on them all.

I'd hoped the Post leadership would give me reason to come back, but they've since doubled down on the reasons left, and firing Karen Attiah was a clear message they are irredeemably awful humans who cannot be trusted.
