Unfortunately all true.

Excerpt from a 2007 comment I had found on another site:

"Totalitarian systems are inherently very weak. People often say that such societies may lack freedom, but that they're 'efficient' and 'well-ordered.' Not true. Fear-based societies that are intolerant of criticism and enforce accountability in an arbitrary, unjust manner cause people to do and say what they think those above them want to hear, regardless of how this affects real issues or long term goals. And they will withhold critical information that may have a great bearing on events, if that information could cause them to be blamed for something. The consequences of even the most minor infractions are too serious to risk, so people will readily let the whole ship sink to save their own posteriors."

-- Interesting how this comment can be applied to the current happenings almost 20 years later.

Just finished watching Hamilton in theaters for the first time in a while and while I undoubtedly have lots to say, I just leave it at this.

I wish we could go back to a time where sleeping with a prostitute ruined your chances at being president

It’s great the Supreme Court supported LGBTQ+ rights in the workplace

HOWEVER

With the recent news concerning the current administration allowing discrimination against LGBTQ+ people in the healthcare setting...

It just sounds like “Hey, you can work and continue generating money for capitalists, but you may or may not be denied life-saving healthcare.”

Which is pretty shitty.

I wasn't sure if anyone other than me remembered the whole "Trump Bible" debacle, so I decided to look it up just to validate my memory of that insanity and-

I kid you not-

The Trump Bible wasn't even the worse thing they are selling.

I just-

There are no words.

But I don't think you should be able to make a bible if you killed the pope.

Just saying.

Just because you don’t like a truth, doesn’t it stops being true when you try to erase it.

Every time I watch a press conference for the current administration, I sigh knowing that SNL is going to have a treasure trove of material to work with.

Inspections of foreign food at all-time low: Report

Some experts have blamed the issues on drastic staffing and budget cuts instituted by the Trump administration.

tl;dr: Avoid imported seafood and fresh fruit.
