I planned to just write a brief overview, but yeah, it was an eventful year so it was impossible to keep it below 7000 words :D.

Bill Barr needs to come in and testify under oath! ASAP!

I mean you’ve really gotta wonder why the Trump DOJ was collecting travel information about a reporter who helped blow the lid off the Epstein coverup in Florida.

Or maybe we don’t have to wonder at all.

I mean, thank god he is showing all his lunatic cards now before an election.

Where??

Umm, marble? Seems a little hard and cold?

"...maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls..."

Most generals took the new oath to keep their positions.

No matter what this meeting is about, Pete will always be a National Guardsman assigned to a Civil Affairs unit who got a bunch of crusader tattoos in his 40s because he wants you to think he's a cool, war-criming operator instead of an extremely online wife-beating loser

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.
