So, pretty much every country was added to the tariff list except Russia, North Korea, and Belarus. They even tariffed penguins. But please, tell me again how Trump’s ties to Russia are a hoax. Explain it to me like I’m 5. All of the obvious evidence smacking me in the face must be distracting me.

For the uninitiated, St. Paddy’s weekend in Chicago is like Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Halloween and a particularly racaous bachelorette party, all rolled up into one. It is the unofficial start of Chicago summer.

Got to spend Valentine’s Day with this beauty. I’m fully aware that I’ve outkicked my coverage in every conceivable way. So long as no one tells her that, I think we’re good. It’ll be our little secret.

Next time someone beats their chest and snarls at you that the US was founded on Christian values, tell them our Founding Fathers beg to differ.
I was raised Catholic. More spiritual than religious now, but think faith is fine. It’s the perversion by grifters that is the problem.

I call this piece “I’m Done Sleeping, and Now You Should Be, Too.” It’s part of my “What’s Personal Space? / Take Me for Another Walk, Dammit / Dogs Own Humans, Not the Other Way Around / Sure, I’m a Hairy Little Freeloader, But I Still Make the All the Rules” collection.

Here is the gorgeous Hawaiian sunset I watched during my dinner tight. May it lower your blood pressure as much as it did mine.
Early flight back home tomorrow. Pray for me.

Seems on brand. I tuned him out a while ago. He’s always given me vibes of a 45- year old dude who lives in his mom’s basement. Not a fan of BlueAnon accounts like his.

So Trump just named a Fox and Friends host as Secretary of Defense. That’s fun. None of his mouth breather supporters will see a thing wrong with that. It’s like nothing he does will bother them. that he called out the “left wing.” God, I hate this guy. Big unifier.
