Addiction doesn’t stay where it starts.
And choice doesn’t survive what comes next.
When people say, “They chose this,” I want to ask a different question....

This is how fascists operate. 😔😡
"Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment & threats have changed their lives. More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges & their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live." www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.
Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.
