In a few places I've seen the question this weekend: if Shitshow were a Russian agent or asset, what actions would you expect him to have taken that he has not? People are not really finding him coming up short from the activities of a hypothetical agent/asset version of Shitshow. Thanks, Republicans.

Found out Chip Roy (my representative) was one of the seven heatless pieces of shit who voted against the backpay bill that otherwise eased through Congress. Fuck this part of Texas.

I work collections, and we have to get their, "why can't you pay reason," for demographics. I hate it so much when they say the furlough. Course I'm leaving soon and don't give a shit so I just set up payment plans without any attempt to negotiate.

my favorite caption on the Trump-with-tables-of-hamburgers photo is "look on my works, ye mighty, and despair." that's one of my two favorite poems (the other is Yeats' "The Second Coming). there's my dark outlook again.
