Dear Democratic Leaders, If you won’t stand up for trans people and their rights, you’re tellling me you won’t stand up for *anyone* or *any rights* the second they come under attack. You’re telling me you don’t stand for anything at all. Also, they’re *people*. Grow a spine or get out the way.

During the final years of his life, North Korean state media was only allowed to photograph Kim Il-Sung from the left, in order to hide the baseball-sized tumor on his neck from cameras. Not sure why I felt like mentioning that today.

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

If what we hope will happen ever happens, we'll watch as many, many people in the world of politics, overnight, go on to pretend they were always against what preceded it. This era has been a highly effective acid test for character. Take notes now, so that you don't forget in the future.

I think people tend to forget there are always three sides to any Trump policy; 1. What he says he's going to do 2. What he'll actually try to do, which is invariably watered down and half-assed 3. What actually ends up happening, which usually is only superficially resemblant to #1

The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority. There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.
