This

summation of Trump's villainy in his first four weeks is so thorough and scathing that I can't even choose what to quote from it. Everything that needs to be said, in a three-minute read. Go for it. lnk.thebulwark.com/3QN1…

America Joins the Jackals

Hallo

Today I start using Substack

I used to like Twitter but always felt very constrained by the 144 limit

This brought problems for the irony-challenged, who misunderstood a lot of what I was trying to say

This is a particular problem for me because I seem to be regarded as ‘on the left’ by people on the right, and' ‘on the right’ by people on the left

Apparently this makes me controversial, and therefore box office poison

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

Ode to being a slut

Things I appreciate so much about Substack.

  1. The people here read. And that makes them fascinating.

  2. I learn a great deal almost every day

  3. The huge majority of people are polite and when they disagree, they do so with civility and even kindness

  4. You can’t buy a blue tick which gives your hatred extra prominence

  5. It actually is a place of free speech.
