As a native Floridian, I’ve always hated summer, our worst season, what with the suffocating heat and threat of hurricanes. But this year, I’m looking forward to it because I’m hoping it will force Trump to choose another branded vacation property to which to repair after the rigors of a four-day workweek spent signing shit, …
Still Not Over It
If you’re depressed about the bloated orange fart cloud that has enveloped the USA for the past several months and are seeking lovely photos to take your mind off it or comforting words of hope to lift you up, keep scrolling, friend — this isn’t the post for you. An angry rant lurks below the …
