Escapee from Twitter. Sick and tired of algorithms telling me how mad I should be. I am using the same avatar I used on Twitter. Me personally, I define myself as the living embodiment of a non sequitur.

No. You are incorrect. The way they defame the American people is pretty much on brand for what they have always been.

They haven't changed. What's insane is allowing them to do it.

Ah, so the crowd chanting "Hang Mike Pence" and building a noose all while waving Trump flags and using those poles to be police officers was satire.

Governor, in case you hadn't noticed, being reckless with people's lives in pursuit of their vanity projects is kind of their main objective.

It is one of the rarest times that he was actually self-aware and told the truth.

EARLY VOTING IS GOING ON NOW IN VIRGINIA! VOTE THIS WEEK!

Hopefully Trump and his sycophants will hear us loud and clear by Nov 5. Let's make sure they hear "the winds of change." (Monsters Inc. quote) At least that's what's coming from my backyard!

I believe that weasels have to be offended that people keep making references to this man being like them.

I think weasels must have more personal dignity.

All true and good. However, they need to stop putting whatever ingredient they put into those cookies that causes me to eat an entire sleeve at once. It really is unnerving.

Nor do I. But sometimes I do feel sorry for the people who work there. It's not their fault he's an a-hole.

Chelsea, home of Jiffy muffin mixes! It still makes pretty decent cornbread as well as #NoKings !

It's not inaccurate. Oddly enough, it's one of the few times he's actually telling the truth.

No Kings rally in Charlottesville VA where there were good people on one side. With the most Charlottesville type sign possible.

Like you're five? Ok:

Shut up.
You stink.
I hate you.

Pretty much the operating procedure for the current GOP. I guess they think we're all five.

Now, now, I'm sure there are more than just #AIPAC.

Equality is very simple. Anyone that has billions is equal. You really have to admire their dedication to that aspect of their lives.
