A Totenkopf is one of the vilest of Nazi symbols. It was worn by SS guards at the concentration camps. What the hell was Graham Platner thinking? You don’t just accidentally get a vile Nazi symbol tattoo just because you think it’s “cool” or “edgy”.
Out! Drop out of the race now! Out! Out! Out!

The Enemy’s first term was like the First World War. Biden’s term was the Interwar Period. And now the Enemy’s second term is very much playing out like the Second World War, making the first term look like a walk in the park.

I was today years old when I found out that Little Britain had blackface characters in it. That show aired in the early years of the 21 CENTURY. Seriously? WTF?

Just found out that my favorite tea, Murchie's from Vancouver, BC, Canada, stopped shipping to the US in August because of the Enemy's stupid tariffs. Fortunately, I have a grip of tea that will last me well into next year. Everything that man touches dies.
