Burn Down the Mission

The Trump administration has set aside $1.776 billion in taxpayer money to compensate people convicted of attacking the US Capitol. He pardoned over 1,500 of them, wiped out $1.3 billion in court-ordered restitution they owed their victims, and then built them a tip jar with your money.

The Autumn of Things

"There was reason to worry that there might be forces that outstripped the power of the Colorado. A short drive downstream, the Exxon oil corporation was investing a billion 1980 dollars to build a town on Battlement Mesa for workers it planned to hire for oil shale recovery."

Mayhem At The Nerd Prom

Ah, the conspiracies are multiplying like numbers on a gas pump.

Mighty Big Shoes and Banksy Unveiled

They lob insults at each other, immigrants, women, minority groups, the LGBT community, RINOs, and Dems - casting blame for high gas prices, inflation, unaffordable healthcare, skyrocketing Rx prices...yet they're too afraid to tell daddy to stick his Florsheims up his fat, mango-tinted butt.
