Just found out that they are digging up Big Ben National Park to build a border wall. … do you honestly think that a wall is going to stop someone who climbed a 5000 foot mountain, then crossed a river, then climbed another 5000 foot mountain and then walked several hours through a desert?

While not intentional, the humor is not lost on me that I had tacos for dinner tonight. I do think given the instability shown from our President that teasing him about tacos or saying that Iran won would be severely irresponsible. Let's be grateful that Armageddon was not today.

@colbertlateshow.bsky.social While having TV personalities run for government positions (*rump) hasn't always worked out well. I do think the idea of Colbert v. Graham would be an interesting race. I'd have to contribute to that race.
