Happy Diwali, Illinois!

I hope that the Festival of Lights brings you peace during this time of celebration and reflection — that even in the darkest of days, the light of wisdom and unity will always triumph.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

The Pentagon’s gone dark and Johnson’s calling it “transparency”

KARL: “The guy’s only had two briefings since he became Secretary of Defense… they’ve basically forced the Pentagon press out of the building…”

SPEAKER JOHNSON: “I can’t remember… a Secretary of Defense who has been so transparent.”

I’m just really trying to understand the contractor who thought, yeah a bulldozer to the White House, that’s the right approach. #WhiteHouse #Ballroom So horrifying, so many questions.

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

The White House plans to give asylum to far-right anti-immigrant protesters from Europe. No. This is not a joke. It does put one in mind planned terrorism, however.
