So much better! (Also, Elon never ran a company that didn't rely on millions in government contracts. Not likely to run into him here)...

Personally, I'm very heartened to hear our many-times-decorated Commander in Chief go on and on about how those 457 dead NATO soldiers hung back so far in Afghanistan. Nothing if not inspiring...

Don has promised to protect Iranian protesters. If any of the protests of this magnitude were happening in the U.S., he'd long ago have tried to invoke the Insurrection Act.

New BBC doc says Hitler had a genetic abnormality that resulted in both an undescended left testicle and a "micro-penis."

So sad to hear about Tatiana Schlossberg's passing. What a smart, capable, talented, loving daughter, wife and parent. Truly, the best this country had to offer.

Just musing here, but what would it take for Sam "We Love Insurrectionist Flags Flying Above Our Vacation Home" Alito and Clarence "Insurrection? What Insurrection?" Thomas to vote against a Trump-backed issue before the court?

So, Geert Wilders' right-wing party in the Netherlands loses 12 seats and relinquishes control. His first response? "The voter has spoken." We'll see from here, but can one imagine this response from "our" guy?

Just take a wrecking ball to the White House. You know, the place where Dolly Madison rescued portraits as the Brits stormed in. That place. Just take a wrecking ball to it. And maybe some troops into Portland. And let's murder a Colombian fisherman. And pardon George Santos...Jesus god...

Things were awful in Portland today. Just wretched! Why, an unruly knot of clouds gathered at midday (without a permit, it should be noted) and emitted a tiny bit of moisture. I'd asked heaven to help us and it offered only precipitation. This is how it starts...
