home of the brave?

“We are not here to lecture — we are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be, or how to worship,” Donald tRump said during his first foreign trip as “president” – to Saudi Arabia – last year. God bless the weapons makers for they shall inherit the […]

seeing red

The tRumps are the embodiment of gaudy, over-the-top tastelessness, so we really shouldn’t be surprised by Melanoma’s risible foray into xmas home decor.

However, according […]

My family was politically […]
