Expect some snark along with some history. Analysis is just my opinion, and I might be wrong… Also, I’m human without an edit button. There will be typos.

Can't fuckin' believe I'm doing this but here goes: Twitter is a mind prison, a true jail of career advancement. I stopped posting on there and within months I became the CEO of The Onion and I'm not kidding. Went back on last year, felt worse, then left again.

In the workplace, sometimes you have to tell folks what they don’t want to hear, but need to hear. Don’t be an a*shole when this needs to be done.

If there isn’t a special place in hell for the people that do this, I hope Satan is working on that project.

♥️♥️ This Is Why We Adore Veep 👉🏽 Kamala Harris:
“I predicted a lot about what’s happening right now. I’m not into saying ‘I told you so’ but we did see it coming. What I did not predict is that we would not have Jesse Jackson with us right now 2help us get through.”

Ok, by all that’s right and wrong in the universe, this man deserves eternal punishment in the depths of hell. Even if there isn’t a hell, higher powers should start working on that s*it… Now.

Taxing these fools for at least 70% plus will be a winning strategy.

Dem electeds, take heed.

I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.

I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
