Ah yes, time for Democrats to stop bringing strongly worded letters to a fascist gunfight. Block the doors, roll the cameras, and make these GOP bootlickers answer for their destruction in real time. No more “concerned” tweets—get in their faces and make ‘em squirm.
We were asleep in our tent in the Umpqua national forest at twin lakes. Woke up in the middle of the night to a large male elk the size of a small car next to our tent making a sound I can only describe as screaming. Its steps shook the ground. Might have been the longest I’ve ever held my breath.

Disappoint them.
