Christmas is coming and I have to say... maybe so, maybe no. I'm just laying a finger aside of my nose because I like it.

Remember that flag on the ground at the White House a couple of weeks back?
I think it took a look at Trump and threw itself from the top of the pole.
It was a cry for help.

They're giving children under 10 two hundred fifty bucks to *invest*? Mike and Susie are giving out savings bonds and they think it's helpful to make a large contribution that's so completely diluted. It's almost as if they wanted to raise a generation of greedy little weasels.
Next year, Michael and Susan Dell of Dell Technologies plan to move $250 into the new Trump accounts of millions of children under 10. You’ll need to live in the right ZIP code. Here's how to know if you're eligible.

I still am trying to reconcile President Trump's pardoning of a known druglord while simultaneously deciding to blow up boats of people who are most likely fishermen. If a couple survive, kill them so they don't tell the truth.
But the real drugs guy? Major cocaine trafficker? Free as a snowbird.

This is absolutely horrifying and disgusting. Trump's team is looking to enrich Russians and themselves and have no interest whatsoever in Ukraine.
The Trump administration's corruption has extended to selling out Ukraine—and America's interests—to Russia so that the Trump family and their friends can make a few bucks.

Yeah, I watched "Bigfoot Took Her," and I'd do it again. I love that the controversial thing within the show was whether Bigfoot took her or not; the existence of many local Bigfoot is assumed. "Well, you know, they have a lotta Bigfoot up there....."

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

I swear to God, this is not the year for your performatic nonsense of serving at a soup kitchen for Thanksgiving. Do something now. Do something to make sure kids are fed during the school holidays. No one needs you to hold a ladle; there's a waiting list, anyway.
Enough with the show. Feed people.

Just discovered that this motherfucker is my 10th Great-Grandfather and I'm really, really not pleased.
After exploiting whoever he could and then losing to the Crown, he eventually retired to his estate, Romancoke, which I've decided to pronounce rum and Coke.

It's still odd to me that on my wife's father's side, the family business is poetry. FiL and MiL-2 (I have three). Professional poets. You see some crazy things in the middle of Big Verse.
