Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. --Arthur Miller, "Why I Wrote 'The Crucible'", The New Yorker, October 21, 1996

Donnie’s followers have manhood issues
…and that’s putting it very politely: And this, conservative men, is why women won’t date you. It’s because you’re trying to overcompensate for your rusty ol’ junk (which in Donnie’s case is a tiny mushroom), and what you’re doing is … Continue reading

Surprise, surprise. He’s a MAGAt.
