Son, I am disappoint.
I foolishly thought Trump would exit the White House and step directly into federal custody. I still don’t know why that never happened. I foolishly thought his convictions would disqualify him from candidacy. I still don’t understand why there have been so few. I foolishly thought principle would overcome...
My Superhero Name is Unpopular Opinionman*

Don’t tell the Director I said so…
