Piece of shit Trump goes ape on dogs.

'The upshot is that an octogenarian Air Force retiree who spent half a century in his nation’s service was not allowed to attend a party for a dog he essentially donated to the government and named after his dead wife.'

What a lump of garbage this president is, what a shrivelled little desiccated, infantile old man.

I love my FX-888. I feel like it's one of those "buy it for life" type purchases. It's a great soldering iron.

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it

"Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security. This should not be a partisan issue."
