Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: They want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here
Mantra of the day: I can't wait to discover why this didn't work out.
People act like it’s impossible to do the right thing and succeed but its actually pretty easy to do it and have everyone love you and you can even be a goofy silly guy and do it

The Tate arrests are for an extradition to the UK for rape and sex trafficking charges. So Donald will have no ability to pardon his fellow rapists.

Except I just spent an hour desperately trying to remember what it was. The cool secret date I'd planned. That I didn't write down. 🧠
lying about it happening on april fool's day: mean-spirited, hurtful, not funny at all it actually happening on april fool's day: possibly the funniest thing of all time
