I keep on, despite the trail of evidence, wondering how these folks can function as human beings while holding such dysfunctional descriptions of the world, and knowing that yes, they somehow do manage to eat and excrete on a daily basis despite the utterly toxic shit that somehow never seems to impair their access to dinner or the toilet, when all of the sudden they take their opportunity to bag on John Lewis and I just can't.
What the fuck, over?
Even my racist ass father never said a bad word about John Lewis, mostly because as a boxer, he had to grudgingly admire his resolve and toughness in the face of mortal danger.
We all face mortal danger now, and if we can learn from Mr. Lewis and his companions, we might see the other side of it somewhat intact, but that word "might" is doing a massive amount of work in that thought.
Thank you again for the podcast. Sara is still MIA with the cat pictures, so you can expect an email with a goose in it in the next hour or so.
Hope you are weathering the goddamn apocalypse as well as possible, and fuck all of this, it's on to victory, carnage and all, because what's our other option?

After Mary Trump put in her book the Donald paid a kid to take his SAT test to qualify fo college.

With Trump boasting his genius score taking a cognitive test and telling us many, many doctors who administered the test. Told him, they never seen anyone pass the test with such high scores.

Did Donald have someone test in his place for him or did he have Putin hack the testing computer and change his score?

GOP lowering the bar for president from five working digits which can hold a pen that can sign a bill into law standard down to be president GOP expectations for a GOP president now must pass a cognitive test? Or, his paid contract tester must pass it for him.

I heard on the many, many internets that Trump is getting a percentage of every Russian bounty paid to Taliban /terrorists because he is providing the targets.

So it must be true.
