To the people who drive 62 MPH in the left lane, you’ve been replaced at the top of my most hated people on the planet list.
To the dog owners who take the time to step through the snow, pick up your dog’s shit in a bag, and then leave the bag in the yard.
With every once of my being, fuck YOU!

You are kidding yourselves if you think Hegseth, or any other person in this administration, will face criminal trial for their actions.
Trump will issue everyone in his sphere a blanket pardon for anything they’ve done.
And he’ll use Biden’s late term pardon as an example of why it’s just.

They didn’t need to be there… just like every dead service member in Iraq, and every service member in Afghanistan after 02 May 2011.

The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

Today, my therapist asked me if I was happy.
I said, “No. I don’t think I am…”
She concurred, and I followed up with, “I’m a Father of a Trans kid surrounded by friends, family, and a country I feel betrayed by.”
I hate this most because I once was a content and happy person.
Fuck everything.

Yes! Someone who shows up, says what they mean, sticks around when life gets weird, laughs easily, is gentle with my kids, loyal to the nightmare of their choice, and doesn’t mind that my dog is basically a furry snow leviathan.

Never mind. Carry on.

My favorite thing about this timeline... I no longer have to guess who's racist, who's a homo/transphobe, who's corrupt. It's all out there, right in the open now.
I think we should encourage this behavior. Let them advertise away. The pendulum is going to swing back the other way.
