Imo, when you die in office at 90, you stayed too long. Government service shouldn’t be a retirement plan. This shouldn’t be shit you do to keep yourself busy in your waning years.

“I’m not a criminal. You are.”

Tell me again what the citizens of Great Britain gained by leaving the EU? Must have been something really big.

You know what’s crazy? Trump could have just lost gamely and said, “Fuck it. I’m out.”

Then gone off and profited from all his bullsht. Instead he flew too close to the sun and got a bit more attention than maybe he was bargaining for. Now he’s facing 91 counts in four criminal indictments as well as an attack on his ability to run a business.

Like Kenny Rogers said, “You gotta know when to walk away, and know when to run.”

I know everyone here is an expert in everything from criminal, constitutional and election law, but I’m not buying that this is as damaging to Trump as some are making it out to be. It could be costly to him. It could be a huge pain in the ass. He’s not penniless.

He’s rich. He operates under different rules. Do we really have to keep going over this?

BTW, I hope I’m dead wrong.

I know I should care and I’m sure it will adversely affect me eventually, but I’m so sick of these shutdown threats that I just don’t give a shit anymore. Shut it all down. Wait for the torches and pitchforks outside the offices of those weasels who continue to get paid.

I don’t care.

For one, Trump needn’t have completed the purchase of the gun to have violated the terms of his bail. Two, it was an obvious violation. Will anything happen? No, because we do not apply the law equally in America.

I’ll tell you what I like. I really like a handle that virtue signals to everyone just where you stand in life. I love that fucking shit.

Some of the comments I get. On everything from articles to social media posts. They’re nonsensical and obtuse.

I just can’t.

Simply maintaining a human body is way too much work. Clearly we are not built to last as long as we do, even now. Our expectations are entirely artificial.

Of course, the garbage we’re ingesting and the polluting of the environment isn’t helping. We shit where we eat. Even animals are smarter than to defile their own homes.

I think I felt the same way about Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo and their anti-racist crusade as I did when it came to Crypto and NFTs. I wasn’t buying it but was suspending judgement until more details emerged.

You know what I want? A government that isn’t actively trying to fuck me. There does seem to be some middle ground between trying to help everyone and helping no one. Free speech. Universal healthcare. Social safety nets. Strong corporate oversight.

Allegedly. #LetterKenny

If the universe is expanding outward from a central starting point, how can things such as asteroids be running into us? We’re traveling at 67k mph. What’s catching up to us? Or how can it be coming the other way?

I think I’m getting sick. I’ve hardly been sick since the pandemic started. Maybe two or three times and one of those was Covid. I forgot what that felt like. Better not be Covid or the flu because I was waiting for the new booster before I got my fall shots.

I don’t feel like there are many things I couldn’t do if I really wanted to. I’m just really picky. :)

I just watched, like a three minute commercial for a product called Pooph. On Apple TV+. During a Phillies game.

That can’t be real, right?

Jesus. Sen Menendez (D-NJ) has been indicted again. We can’t lose the seat but I’m sick of this shit. Don’t get too cavalier, New Jersey is in danger of losing its Democratic majority.

Since GOP voters keep electing these douchebags, I have no other choice then to treat them like the immoral fascists that they choose to lead them. I see no difference.

If you elect Nazis, you might be a Nazi, or at least a Nazi sympathizer. What’s the fucking difference?
