Mar 18, 2020Morning After Thoughts 3/18/20201. I’m doing this for no other reason than to pretend there’s some sense of normalcy. 2. Bernie is the worst. Always has been. He’s selfish.

Feb 23, 2020Morning After Thoughts (2/12/2020)“Morning After Thoughts” 1. This is chaos and Super Tuesday is going to be the cherry on top of that chaos sundae. 2.
