For the foreseeable future, if it's not about stopping the orange shitgibbon and mars boy, I'm probably not going to be interested. I'll be happy to look at kitties and titties after we get all this straightened out.
They sold us out because visions of people who wear suits and have nice cars and mortgages using food banks horrified them. All this time they haven't given a rat's ass about the rest of us lining up for groceries, but god damn it, those flight delays are the last fucking straw...

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Tomorrow, 10/10, The Nobel Committee will announce this year's Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Trump expects to win it with the announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza. Things are going to turn ugly when he doesn't get it.
