The fact that there were no counterprotests shows that Trumpism and MAGA barely exist outside of social media. This movement has gradually collapsed completely within the population. — It’s difficult to fill the real world with Trump government troll bots.

when you wake up in the morning after you went there last night planning to break up

On a bed, a guinea pig stares wistfully at the camera, a sleeping cat curled around them.

My new purpose in life: to be a ultracrepidarian* in conversation with my cat. She's an avid listener. Very rarely questions me.

Stephen Miller is a big tough manly sexual matador until somebody writes some mildly critical shit on the sidewalk outside his house with chalk.

This terrifies him so much he has to move out and sell the house.

I know Donald Trump is a pathological liar, malignant narcissistic sociopath, racist, antisemite, misogynist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, hater of our troops and believer in euthanizing folks with disabilities, but we too often forget that he's *also* an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.
