The far right would become suckers of the biggest joke ever pulled.
Winning is all that's important to him. How he manages it is unimportant.
And he apparently can't stand to be ignored. He has to be a topic of discussion...good, bad, or indifferent.

Agree.

Winning is his get-out-of-jail-free card.

Received a notice that a delivery I am expecting will arrive by 4:35 pm today. Seems oddly specific.

The dystopia I wrote about in my Sapience novel appears to be unfolding now via current political affairs.

In a particular accent, owl sounds like oil.

I think I need to take a rest with a cool cloth on my forehead. The thought just makes me exhausted. A friend just posted pics of her new twin grandchildren - not all that big a deal till you know that about 4 years ago her same child had a set of twins and in between these two set of twins was a single birth. That's five!!!!! And no one is even in school yet.

Employment writeups should not be considered a proper form of discipline. For one who grew up with verbal abuse, I consider it to be the mental version of capital punishment.

I know there’s a significant divide as to whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Has anyone considered that, since the protagonist spends a lot of time sneaking around a tower trying to avoid Alan Rickman, it might actually be a Harry Potter movie?
