I have an announcement.
I have, like a real man, recaulked and resealed my shower.
I will never, ever do this again, and the next time I will pay a plumber or handyman, even if it has to be in gold bullion, to do it.

As the FBI’s deputy director, Dan Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief. His ascent to that position without passing a standard bureau background check is unprecedented, insiders say.

President Trump:

If you asked people what the worst one-year period in recent American history was, it’s a good bet that many would choose roughly between January 2020 and January 2021.

This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

Trumpism is fascist, sure. But we're not yet under fascism. I think that's a fair summation. Let's make sure it doesn't get worse.
Much like "terrorism," it's a word that people use - and abuse - to capture everything they don't like. Trump bellows about human scum, and his speeches, insofar as they are coherent, are fascist, or fascistic enough to count, sure. But you do not live under fascism. /4
