The disconnect between civility and decency and TFG and his ass-licking sycophants is immeasurable. Any who'd support or defend that narcissistic sociopath's derision of Rob Reiner and the terrible murder of he and his wife deserves rebuke and contempt... It's some obscenely unforgivable bullshit.

In the aftermath of a Perry, IA mass shooting that resulted in the murder of a sixth grader and a high school staff person and injury to six others, TFG said at a rally, "That’s just horrible, so surprising to see it here, but we have to get over it. We have to move forward."

And he launched an absolutely unnecessary tariff war.

Intriguing take, but as someone who programmed several hours of aggressive music each week for nearly 20 years, from the earliest days of thrash through every permutation and variant of "metal", maybe overthought. Reduced to a simpler state, its non-conformity and rebellion at their brutish loudest.

1/ I know people who voted for TFG. Maybe just the one time in 2016, but others in both the '20 and '24 elections. Some of these people are loved ones and others much-valued relationships. Some are good acquaintances or just people I know. But I have to compartmentalize and more carefully choose

I think the current bench of the Supremes, with its frequent 6 of 9 majority rulings genuflecting before TFG and display of inexplicable deference to authoritarianism and oligarchy, will be judged harshly. Deservedly so. And possibly none more than Chief Justice Roberts. What a conniving prick.

Our sole tailgate has always been our Lions' Thanksgiving Day Game. Initially it'd been venison or buffalo burgers with the works and bacon-y baked beans. But it proved too much in the gut. Switched up to tuna steaks and a seasoned rice with shrimp and mushrooms... More room for our Killian's 😅
