I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.
🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.
I don't mind stealin' bread from the mouths of decadents
I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled yeah
And it's on the table the fire's cookin'
And all farmin' babies of slaves are all workin'
Blood is on the table the mouths are all chokin'
I'm goin' hungry yeah

The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear.
"Why bad art?" I ask.
"It is brave", the God replies.
"To try and fail?"
"No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."
You walk in a room and everyone's glaring at you
You look to the exit and you're thinkin' what the hell do I do
You're stuck once again with that same Deja Vu
And you think to yourself if only they knew
Welcome to the Freakshow where the beer's always cold
And the tunes are the bluest of blue
NEW: I'm in the Comey docket now. Comey petitioned the court to unseal this case, which Judge McFadden granted today. That's why we're getting this news now 1/
Y’all. I’ve seen the heartbreaks of Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter. I felt the burn of a Stacey Abrams loss. And I’ve felt the energy before Biden, Warnock, and Ossoff victories. I can feel this one in my bones. Good things are coming to Georgia.
I know I could play with the big dogs in LA
But I'd rather cross the water that's where I'm gonna stay
There's somethin' about that town that really brings me down down down
Like a drunken sunshine heartbreak heatwave

So excuse me forgettin'
But these things I do

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

It's not just that these louts are vindictive. They are also *very bad* at being vindictive.
The chills that you spill up my back keep me filled
With satisfaction when we're done
Satisfaction of what's to come
I couldn't ask for another
No I couldn't ask for another (you know that's right)
Well I might take a train
I might take the plane
But, if I have to walk
I'm goin' just the same
I'm goin' to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got some crazy little women there and I'm gonna get me one
(Aw but you know yeah mercy!)
Come senators congressmen please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
'Cause the battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
