Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

Happy Sunday morning folks! Thank you Canada 🇨🇦 for yummy maple syrup 🍁 & internet for yummy and mostly healthy recipe - oatmeal banana blended pancakes which we put in the waffle maker. And thank you to my birth family for instilling a fun and yummy weekend ritual to carry on with my little family.
Breakfast of oatmeal banana pancakes topped with fruit (peaches, strawberries and blueberries) and maple syrup and coffee.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

“I don't think this is incompetence. As I write in my book, Trump covers up crime with scandal and covers up malice with incompetence. His administration would like you to think that they're inept, that they're just stumbling into these situations. That's not the case. And the key thing to remember is that it's not Trump as some geopolitical mastermind; it's an inner circle of Republican backers and ideological extremists, many of whom have massive financial interests and certainly their own agenda.”
