After writing aerospace technical manuals for more years than I wanted to write them, I've jumped into my first love: writing speculative fiction. My themes are identity, inclusion, found family, and honor. No DMs. Sexbots and polbots ignored.

How do you pressure the principals out of an empty vessel?
A principled Trump is a fictional creature only MAGA can imagine.

Actually, Little Lindsey, you and your boss over in that big white house have generated a HUGE number of angry white guys. Good job! We're just not the MAGA, racist, patriarchal, brain dead white guys who voted for this stinking pile of an administration. But we are plenty angry.

For a second there, I thought it was a ginormous drop press. Please don't invite me in. But, yes, it is certainly a design perfect for the Steel City!

You know, what we had before sewage spas, horse tranquilizers, and stuffing UV lights up our collective asses.

Don't forget fucking healthcare for the same demographics. Well, all of us, really, but specifically, yeah--these demographics.

Laws are little more than tissue paper barriers to the will of a functionally illiterate egoist who owns the majority in Congress.

(What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders)
Most published fiction writers would starve without a day job.

This is what I believe.
I yearn for peace, for honor and truth, but the path is through the hell we've made for ourselves. Its fire burns. The pain is constant and inescapable.
This is a test of my beliefs, those that hinge upon the capacity of humanity to heal itself.
I believe in us.

I'm with you, man. But if the earth starts spinning that fast, it's going to toss crew off into orbit.

BZ to the troops from an old navy vet! Most of them didn't want to be there. It's not what they signed up for. Not for parades honoring some wanna-be, never-served, con artist convict and his horde of grifters.
Pulling up a lawn chair to watch you walk your dog would be far more meaningful.

How do they know it wasn't a real police officer?

Trump is right. He should know. He's the one who hired them

There is no more window. Everything from influencing the election outcome to the arbitrary kidnapping and deportation (AKA human trafficking) of non-whites is in our face. And the constitutional mechanisms for redress are held hostage by a fascist-enabling gang in Congress .

I feel for the young Marines forced to use their training as a lethal combat force on US soil against Americans. Nothing good can come of this. Only blood, hate, and division.

Tom Homan needs to be removed from his position and tried for ordering the kidnapping and false imprisonment of thousands of people in violation of law and judgements. And the Trump Administration investigated under the RICO act for working as an organized crime organization.

Oh, look! An entire armored division getting transported outside its support and deployment apparatus, basically now inert as a fighting force, in order to inflate one asshole's ego.

Because they need a pretext for "emergency orders" (wink, wink) to mess with the midterms. Martial law puts a damper on voting. This is Trump's toe in the water on how far he can go in that direction.

Trump doesn't have time to read critical national security notes, but he read this book and wrote a review on it? Right.
What a loser.

Agreed.
Ask not what your society can do for you, for it has given the structure and foundations of your life. Ask instead what you can do to promote and improve your society to the benefit of all.
I'm sure JFK would not have argued much with the modifications.

Echoes of the Kent State massacre will emerge soon because some asshole with delusions of alpha-maleness, and in full-tactical mode, decides the citizens are the real problem and feels a need to exercise his finger on a trigger. Their actions in this video are highly unprofessional and dangerous.

Anyone who utters or scribbles the barest criticism of Trump or any of his henches--or any action or policy they cook up in the back room along with their hits of ketamine--is an Enemy of the State, far-left deranged radicals intent on killing true Americans.

AAA would mark up maps to show routes. For larger cities, a Thomas Guide, a book of maps with indexes, was indispensable for those of us who needed to get around for work. Before that, there were fold out maps and gas station attendants who would point the way after cleaning your windshield.

If I request a special dinner from a caterer, including the ingredients, cooking method, and presentation guidelines--that doesn't mean I can claim to be the chef when the dinner is delivered. I'd praise or damn the caterer, depending on the outcome.
