This morning the very evil President of the USA very predictably mocked the death of a good man. He did so to distract from his crimes, but also because he’s evil and can’t help rejoicing over the murder of his critics.
Go ahead, Donold. Have your fun, when life is done, a nightmare waits for you.

Heads up for the Midwest and East Coast. A new system brings accumulating snow Saturday through Sunday morning, with some spots seeing over 6 inches. Immediately following the snow is a brutal arctic blast, dropping wind chills to as low as negative 45 in the Northern Plains.
