Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.
You cannot love your country only when you win.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.
Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.
rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius
Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.
The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Looks like things are finally winding down… everything except a couple of 24/7s are now closed (except WallyWorld, which will follow suit at 8).
I’m just looking at the weather outside. Low temp was in the 60s Tuesday morn. Yesterday, a tornado touched down less than 7 miles away from the shack. Right now, 34 degrees and a light flurry of snow, on its way to the low 20s night.
Way back when I was a child, we had “blue laws”, whereby most business were forced to close on Sundays. Maybe those days weren’t so bad. Perhaps we need something like that today. One day a week where everyone is force to shut down and take a breather… a break from the 24/7/365 madness of the societal monster we’ve created.
