Good job on this political front.
Ice Ice Baby.
Love it! This is the second parody song I've heard today. I found another I attached to a story on my FB feed (but this is better). I'm in Indiana. If I could be in Minnesota, I'd be right out there on the streets protesting too. And for the first time since the 1960s, protesting means risking your life. It's been a long horrible awful year with shock after shock after absurdity after idiocy after shock and shock and outrage and shock.... and no matter how bad it gets, it gets worse. I'm an optimist by heart though. The light at the end of the tunnel is as soon as the midterm elections this year. We can stop this megalomaniac's agenda. Let's just pray that the number of causalities between now and then aren't too high.... because if he isn't killing people here, he'll find fisherman to blow up in international waters who he'll call narco-terrorists. One way or another, more people will die because of Trump. Good stuff. Good luck in the challenge, sir!
