The GOP talking point today is: "It's going to take unconventional methods to get us out of the mess we've been in the past 4 years" "The mess" - booming stock markets - unprecedented job growth - strong GDP - wage growth - plateauing inflation - strong allies & trading partners - a sane POTUS

Son: Are we better off now? Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time. Son: What's that? Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.

Dear MAGA, The inauguration will be a private affair. Just Trump & the broligarchs in the rotunda. No seating for you. No special events to acknowledge your support. Not to worry. There will be emails later urging you to buy Trump coins, shoes, bibles, hats etc. Keep that cash coming. Be best.

The day America decided to ignore Jared Kushner's $2 billion from the Saudis, and put an insurrection-inciting convicted felon back in the White House, is the day I stopped giving a shit about any "moral high ground." I hope President Biden takes his "presidential immunity" out for a fucking spin.
