This meet at the White House: how is it possible our nation never runs out of unbelievable twists and turns, and does them every single day, many times a day?
I noticed quite some time ago how much both that guy and the muskellunge yearned over Mamdani's riz, and

Our Mayor Elect, Zohran Mamdani, has been scheduled to a meet in D.C. with that guy. Does anyone else speculate, on the basis of that guy's behaviors this year, that guy may think he's talking with Kash Patel instead? After all everyone looks alike, doncha know!

But yesterday!

Do others also find it hilarious both orange chaos demon and the muskellunge speak their thirst of Mamdani's capacity to light up a room, his charisma?

Unpopular position: dislike 'spooky season' very much. Mostly because of loathing horror movies and horror in any genre. Life is filled with sufficient horror as it is.
The exception is Halloween cats -- I do love them!

My goodness who knew that when killing and shooting and starving continue a cease fire is still fire that has ceased. Again, today, I have been so informed. To call continued shooting a non-cease fire shows my personal ignorance of the conditions of cease fires.
