I like reading news, but the endless cycle of "Boom! Trump got destroyed", "Look at the dumb thing Trump did", "This is what will doom Trump" that has been going on for how many […]
@futurebird I feel like I've sullied this account with too much political content, and I now need to create a new identity to pursue photos of caterpillars and board games.
