Voracious reader; atoms before bytes. My opinion about research? Read. Read. Read. Part owner of Canada, so don't mistake kindness for weakness! Yes, I realize America can take us over, but it will pay a price.

I love it when an opinion is actually poetic:
"Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page."
Reminds me of Michael Herr's Dispatches:
"The bullshit piled up so high in Vietnam, you needed wings to fly above it."
But since I'm living in this nightmare, Bill gets the poetic gold medal.

Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:
Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

It's okay, George. Your tissue-paper-skinned leader will find a way to punish us again. Probably a tariff on weather systems that offend him.🍁

I get he couldn't find any frankincense and myrrh for Baby Jesus, but he surely could have forked over the golden FIFA Peace Prize.
I mean, he's not using it.

So very “Christian” to bomb another country on Christmas Day. This is the same guy who has practically begged for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Imagine Miller's kids made to watch a 60 yr. old Christmas show. But "Elf" is about an infinity migrant entering the U.S. illegally and "Red One" has a communist title.
But surely "White Christmas" would be white enough. You'd think.

Back in 2016, I recall Trump boasting that he “could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn’t lose voters.”
I scoffed -- "Not my American neighbours."
But I now see that the man can do anything to anybody of any age and it doesn't matter.
America is not returning.🍁😢💔
