Your mother did you, but after a hard life of service on a truck-stop lot, can we really hold her loosened, battered womb responsible for dropping you head-first on the Winnebago floor and burdening our society with another empty, racist demagogue thereafter? We cannot.

After listening to excerpts of yesterday's Supreme Court exploration of how it may be legally permissible to let women die in hospital emergency rooms, a distinction must be made: Clarence Thomas is a corrupt, angry mediocrity. But Samuel Alito is just fucking evil.

Honestly, when a man lies so damn much, am I wrong to imagine another cry of wolf for an October surprise? That Trump is claiming a positive test, will present as asymptomatic, or claim himself cured with bleach, then dismiss COVID again as a Democratic hoax? I'm wrong, right?

Thinking first of the people on the bridge. But the mind wanders to a port city strangling. All the people who rely on ships in and out. The auto-ship imports, Domino Sugar, coal exports, dockwork, whatever container traffic we didn't lose to Norfolk. Industries. Jobs. Families.

Good morning, America. Roger Stone is in federal custody, charged as the Trump campaign's emissary to Wikileaks and all that was stolen from the DNC in a digital burglary by the Russians to help tilt the election of 2016. I'm going to have blueberry pancakes and a smoothie.

We are being led by the stupidest man to ever attain the American presidency. That is remarkable enough. But at the same time, he is also the most selfish and soulless human we could have elected. In November 2016, I thought our misrule would be profound. I had no fucking idea.

A year ago today, two of my friends — and three of their colleagues, all ethical and committed journalists — were all murdered in their newsroom for doing a job essential to the life of a republic. The President of the United States is a vicious, ignorant, fascistic cretin.

Today, Trump joked with Putin about interfering in our elections. He joked about getting "rid of" journalists with a man who has reporters murdered. The president is looking out for himself—not the American people. We need a president who will always stand up for American values.
