If you wish to follow me, please explain why. I also wish to know that you are not some sort of sock puppet.

The publicity was bad but I was glad to see so many more people than the website had led me to expect...

Might does not make right, though it makes winners and losers.

Winning actually involves luck, but the "winners" forgot about that and think it makes merit. Then they think luck makes right, including the right to squish the losers, and at this point they've arrived at crazy town.

And they are in the process of taking homo sapiens down with them. Luck never lasts.

Welcome to World War Trump. I don't even blame the senile fool. I just wondered which puppeteer convinced the YOB this was a good way to change the subject away from the Epstein files.

Dibs on "Donaldian Decadence".

If the #YOB implodes soon enough, then we can hope that 2025 goes down in history as "The Year of Donaldian Decadence".

#DonaldianDecadence

Or what's your better historical label for what happened?

The #YOB just needs to balance the trim on the East Wing by trimming the other side. But what to do with the second vacant lot?

I've got it! The YOB can build the world's YUGEST and most glorious indoor miniature golf course. And make money selling tickets when the YOB isn't working on his putting!

The Andrew formerly known as prince!

Did you see it here first? Surely that fruit is hanging too low, like the morals of all of Epstein's buddies.

I feel like sticking a note under the windshield wiper of any parked Tesla I see:

"Why do you support the death by starvation of so many innocent children?"

At least that's how I feel each time I think about Musk or anything associated with Musk. Over 200,000 dead kids estimated as of June 2025. The people who own Tesla cars must feel differently...

If "people are saying" the YOB is a serious candidate for a Nobel Peace Prize, then why not a joint Peace/Economics prize shared with Putin and Xi, too? Let's throw in Netanyahu, too. I call travesty.

But if such a travesty occurs, I wonder how many REAL Nobel Prize winners would return and repudiate their prizes? The YOB is NO friend of peace or science or economics or literature. Or truth or sanity or honesty or democracy.
