'We are witnessing the complete collapse of the relationship between government and truth, and action and consequence.' 'How far we've fallen', remarks @mrjamesob.bsky.social, as the 'cornucopia of crackpots and sycophants' continue to support Trump even after his tariff U-turns.

Yep a friend has a business. He tried to write a check to the IRS to PAY his taxes and the bank would not honor the check said he couldn’t remove more that 10 grand per day from the account he opened specifically to PAY his taxes. Had to write different checks and space them out. WTF. It’s his money

Oh yes, true! Forgot about that one! I started it but didn’t continue. Not bc it wasn’t good, I just didn’t have the time! I think that one worked bc they literally took a fresh perspective on the OG show & made it even better. I think changing it from a sitcom helped as well!
