Stop trying to make fetch happen. It’s not going to happen. Take some personal responsibility for the fact that your party is a chaos factory. You asked for a GOP majority, and this is what we get with one. If you want Dems to bail you out so badly, try talking. Line’s open! 📞

Patriots? You voted with Matt Gaetz to burn the house down. Just stop.

This hits close. I have actually been told to go back, but I don't know where I'm supposed to go. My country has another name now.

Vulgarity and piety are both interesting. Pious vulgarity is, however, more interesting to me than vulgar piety. The performance of the tension between sacred and profane hinges on profanation. Herve Guibert knew that.

I know my age and circumstance and how ridiculous it is to pretend anymore, but there are certain songs, as heard just a moment ago on a car radio, that return us to the cheap, happy punk we all deserve to be. Death or glory, just another story. Thank you, Joe, wherever you are.
