Well I demand physical punishment for Trump appointees. Let's start with belts and go from there until they learn to behave.

Hopefully MAGA are all incapable of civil war because they all get gout from offsetting vegans like me

Vegan sausage has been around for nearly a decade and there's zero taste difference.

As someone who's unfortunately spent a lot of time in Oklahoma, I'd rather a bullet take up short-term residence in my brain than move to that state.

Newsweek is a rag, and this editor is just another aristocrat with an irrational fear of losing even 1% of his fortune, which of course wouldn't impact his lifestyle in the slightest. What they actually detest with every fiber of their being is being held to account by people they believe are beneath them.

Actual banned books

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Black people must not demand more from life than extreme poverty and race hatred directed at them.

What Girls Are Made Of "As long as there have been women," Mom told me, "there have been ways to punish them for being women."

Slaughterhouse-Five Anti-war novels don't produce unquestioning soldiers.

The Diary of Anne Frank The human spirit must be crushed.

As for games, my partner does not allow gaming at all.

That seems like something that should be a discussion rather than an edict

He had money issues. Then he ran for president again and got in bed with the crypto industry.

From the NY Times:

After three hours of talks, President Trump and President Vladimir Putin of Russia told reporters that they had made progress on unspecified issues, but they gave no details, took no questions, and most importantly failed to announce a cease-fire of any kind.

The meeting broke up several hours before scheduled, and far short of the six or seven hours of discussions that Mr. Putin’s aides said they expected for the talks. The fact that they took no questions made it clear they did not want to be pressed on details.

Sounds really productive

Under pressure from a federal judge, the Justice Department clarified that Washington’s police chief will, for now, retain control of the city’s police force. The revision came after Judge Ana C. Reyes encouraged the Justice Department and D.C. to reach an agreement or she would intervene and block the federal government.
