In its place, they left a dildo. A neighbor's Ring camera captured the whole thing...
One thing that has sort of surprised me is that it does really seem like the desire to be ruled by a powerful fascist daddy is stronger in the median elite journalist than in the median voter.

It’s still Black History Month. Here’s a poem:
