What kind of asshole still supports a politician after it becomes glaringly obvious they’re a pedophile?

Stop asking billionaires questions, recording their answers and sharing their uninformed and/or racist and/or otherwise bigoted and nonsense ideas as journalism. It’s ridiculous. They are the most boring people. Oh wah I am a white man who has more money than I can spend and I’m so mad about it!

It’s been a brutal day for anyone with a moral compass or empathy. I felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin so I put on my sneakers, leashed the pup and headed to park. No podcast, no music, no audiobook. Just some peace. Peace of trees. Peace of water. Peace of movement. Peace of breath.

She looks positively haunted by her vote. As she should. It should haunt her for the rest of her life. Even Susan F*cking Collins did the right thing for once.

I am floundering. I searched for tips on revising a novel and came across this spreadsheet based on the snowflake method. It’s helping me carve out some clarity. Onward! Share any novel revising tips. I haven’t yet outlined anything. I am generally a pantser who later turns toward plotter🤷‍♀️

As a rule I avoid commenting on anyone’s appearance but I am so sick to death of Kardashian Mar-a-Lago face. The aspirational conformity of the plastic surgery work is a whole form of violent oppression as farmed out to the masses, and particularly young women. No one needs a fucking lip flip.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

China made ZERO concessions and American consumers will still have to pay a 30% import tax, driving up prices. It’s just the latest proof that Trump is a TERRIBLE negotiator.

AOC: This administration — and Noem — spits on the American flag every time they engage in that nonsense. So I don’t want to hear anything about “America First.” These people, and this administration, are putting America last by acting like their allegiance is to a man instead of the Constitution.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.
