Parenting, sports and everything nerdy. I was the dad blogger at Thirsty Daddy back when people read stuff and thirsty meant that you needed a drink.

Not sure how I didn't know this but I was today years old when I found out Max Brooks was Mel Brooks son. Also belated Happy B Day Mel Brooks.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Dems are imperfect, but they are way better than the GOP. Get the GOP out in November, then let's fight for a good president in '28. One step at a time.

They’re hiring goons, arming them to the teeth and unleashing them on our streets.
Screenshot of a post on X by Matt McDermott (@mattm…) stating that ICE reportedly slashed officer training from five months to 47 days to flatter Trump’s ego as the 47th president. The post adds that recruits arrived without full vetting, including with criminal records, failed drug tests, and not meeting basic standards. Below is a link preview and excerpt from a Daily Beast article describing ICE training being reduced and framed as a tribute to President Trump.
