Bold of him to lead with his strongest qualification. The only other bullet point on his resume was, “Former heroin addict.” Trump took one look at that resume, and said, “You are the guy to make America healthy again.”

And playing a song about hookers, strippers, drugs, and porno flicks at the Christian alternative to the Super Bowl halftime show. When I pointed this out to a MAGA I know, his response was, "At least there weren't gays." That was the line between good and evil for his Christianity.

He will never live down the emasculation that Trump put on him over his father and wife.

I know it’s a fine point, but it gives me a slight bit of hope that the majority didn’t vote for him. He never won a majority in any of his three elections. A majority always voted against him.

I don't think it's really about oil. We don't need the oil. That's an excuse to change a regime that Trump doesn't like.

He's a garbage human who has never had to deal with a troubled child. But troubled children often come from normal, loving homes. Mental illness doesn’t require bad parenting. Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other mental issues can emerge in families with stable parents and healthy siblings.

Sammy Hagar of course. “I Can’t Drive 55.”

Cue insurance commercial: “I’m not just Baker Mayfield. I am also Babymaker Mayfield.” Congrats to my favorite NFL and his wife.

Just once I wish someone would say, "You aren't highly respected. You are a clown."

Love your work, because I feel like it expands my mind. Just about to start Children of Memory.
