I began this "Will Rogers" shtick because I was struck by how timely the man's insights remained.
Human nature is a constant, for better or worse.
Rogers was a simple cowboy whose wit and humor made him one of the most influential voices in the world.
There is more power in laughter than we realize.

Words are important.
There is no "administration" just a crime ring.
The "GOP" no longer exists, there is only the Cult of Trump.
"ICE" is just another jack-booted Gestapo.
You can call them "Republicans in Congress" but treasonous pigs is a damn sight closer to the truth.

The world will never forget that America GUARANTEED Ukraine's territorial sovereignty when they gave up their nukes, on our word.
America's word is garbage now. No one will ever forget that when it matters, America cuts and runs.
That is the legacy we can thank every republican for.
