The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

He loathed my roommate, Matt. If Matt left his bedroom door open, Miles would leave an exquisite offering of either poop or puke in the center of the room or on his pillow. Lol An excellent judge of character, that Miles.

Tonight's the kind of night where I miss my college cat. I had this big floof of a barn cat named Miles, an absolutely crazy cuss who'd make you bleed if you looked at him wrong. Unless you were me. He adored me & would sit in my lap for hours, purring like a madman.

He was a good cat.

As I've always said, the real Constitutional crisis will be when POTUS unilaterally deploys red state national guard into blue states under very shaky legal authority with the pretext of supporting law enforcement during protests

Sorta like this, tbh:

Pentagon plan would create military ‘reaction force’ for civil unrest

Documents reviewed by The Post detail a new National Guard mission that, if adopted, would require hundreds of troops to be ready around-the-clock.

Gavin Newsom fucking sucks, part MCXVII

he still has until the end of the week for the rest of the bills so unfortunately it’s time to suck it up, call his office, and politely ask this living hairpiece to do the bare minimum to protect the most vulnerable among us
