The monster craves affirmations, which never satiates it, but only increases its boorish danger.

Could this week’s developments change the race? Meh. You should see next week’s developments!

Donald Trump set insurrectionists on foot on Jan 6. Now he states that he is one of them. Election deniers might boobytrap voting drop boxes. Who knows what Trump will do when he gets back in power? No, really, who knows?

A strain of influenza died… Thanks Covid!
