Even as the world goes crazy into the looming holidays, the stink of an Orange Turd is felt/heard all over this land. One wonders why this hasn’t played out more openly before: Background/details per Meidas Touch this afternoon: The hashtag #TrumpSmells quickly skyrocketed to the top trending topic in the United States on X after…
I’m 75-years old today, and was freakin’ born on a Monday — WTF! (Image found here.) In the passion of time, today was formed from just yesterday, or maybe 1978 (when I was 30). Seemingly, after I turned 70 in 2018, it’s so like I aged a shitload in only five years, with a surge…
