December 8, 1980:

Former Beatle John Lennon was shot to death in the archway of the Dakota, his residence in Manhattan. The killer was fan Mark Chapman who was enraged by Lennon’s remark that the group was “more popular than Jesus.”

Chapman is still in prison.

I hate Trump.
But, I blame Congress for a lot the shit that's happening. They could have stopped him. They could have been the equal fucking branch that they were supposed to be.
They failed us. They are fucking cowards.
I never used to swear.

HUSBAND FROM HELL

“Trump said during a Cabinet meeting that the pile drivers operate “all night” and have created a disagreement in his marriage...Melania has asked him to make the constant pounding stop, a request he’s denied.
“Sorry, darling, that’s progress,” Trump said he told her.”

Every state needs to completely decouple their vaccination policy from ACIP if they haven’t already done so.

This is no longer a credible scientific body.
