I’m busy with actual life on a Sunday, but I had to pause for a moment to remind everyone that maybe, just maybe, we should stop handing power to professional trolls.

In the course of my work, I probably talk to someone just like this person at least once every week or so.

As I watched the special edition finale of Return of the Jedi earlier today, the jubilant scenes of planetary liberation stirred something in me. Could it be that, one day, we’ll witness a similar collective exhale when HE finally exits stage left? The curtain call we’ve all been waiting for.

Trump’s been spiritually decomposing since the ’80s. Now his body’s just trying to keep up with the vibe.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

It feels a bit suspicious, doesn't it, that the Social Security Administration has been running for 89 years, while Elon Musk swoops in and magically uncovers billions in "fraud" in just a matter of weeks?

One of the “Jims”, Comer or Jordan, would assuredly hold hearings on this and will probably still do it anyway and find a way to blame it on Biden.
