This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

All those books about the declines and falls of empires that I never read.... do they cover how dumb things were? I was unprepared for how dumb things were going to get.

I guess after we watched a high school dude bro become a SCOTUS judge we shouldn’t be shocked with the Gaetz pick. Offenders in charge seems a theme this time around.
