Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing except, "I have friends everywhere." (Statements of fact here are just as likely to be satire. Don't be a fool—check your sources.)

Mapmaker, Mapmaker
Draw me a map
Filled with my kind
Caucasian catch
Mapmaker, Mapmaker
Throw out the book
And make me a perfect map
Matchmaker, Matchmaker
I'll bring the vote
You bring the doom
Wealthy and pale
Win me the ring for I'm longing to be
The envy of all I see

The spam so short, the crap so long to lerne.

Surprising no one. He says whatever it takes to please his (professor/master/employer). Thus proving his lack of any moral backbone. Fully qualified for a position in this plenary idiocracy.

I should add that there is equal DIGNITY in all forms of work, but there is not equal VALUE in it.

Those who conflate their job with heritage, culture, purpose and worth are willing slaves to a system that keeps them from thriving. Coal mining needs to die as an industry, but those who are most oppressed by it fight to keep it going.

Banking loans, take my home
From the place I belong
West Virginia, voted MAGA
Take my home, banking loans.

Those who prioritize "freedom FROM" instead of "freedom TO" are the exact types who state "WE need to do something" instead of "I will do something" about a problem, distancing themselves from the solution.

Join Project 20/25, where for a $20 donation, we lobby to enact Article 25.

Humanity didn't deserve Jesus in the same manner that the USA didn't deserve Hawaii.

Since we're living in 1984, somebody should be playing the #1 Van Halen hit from their album 1984 on a boom box for the gestapo on the roof.

Some recently may have, knowing it's a low-effort paid gig with the benefit of not needing to wear a white pointed hood while doing terrible things.

POTUS has had a falling out with the Murdoch empire. Or with objective reality. Or both.

A cornered animal has few, if predictable, options left.

It's funny, to be sure, but not "ha-ha" funny. Straight from the Ministry of Truth.

This administration is exercising their plenary incompetence, as exemplified by a major faux pas by its chief of staff.

These are "bread and butter" issues, specifically, folks like Mr. Kinkaid know which side their bread is buttered on. In unrelated news, Kinkaid would make an awesome name for a drag queen benefit concert.
