God the last thing I want is a "Trump of the left" saying batshit crap and having people cheer. Can we get someone serious with good ideas. Americans aren't stupid, I believe that deeply, you bring real dynamic change and a plan to get it done you'll get support. This you go low I go lower (1/3)

It is still such a strange feeling knowing I can just sign onto Paramount+ when I want to watch #AFCWimbeldon instead of poking around the Internet for a stream. 🥹 My boys are growing up #COYD

Man what am I missing with Intermezzo? I just couldn't connect with any of the characters and had to put it down but seeing nearly universal praise is making me feel like I missed something fundamental. #BookSjy
