> [@running\_coach](#): > > Don’t forget, this is the same jackass who wished everyone a “Happy Memorial Day”. Sadly I’ve seen a _lot_ of that. People say “Happy Memorial Day” because they don’t know what else to say. One of my distant relations (of a Trumpist variety) literally posted a meme saying “Happy Memorial Day! Merica!” [sic] with a cartoon of a pig in a cowboy hat in front of a flag and expressing appreciation for everyone who “fault for our freedom”. I did not comment because what’s the fucking point. ---

Much better. /s ---

Simply reading off the names of the gunned-down children during the NRA rally was unconscionable. Nothing that fuck does surprises me anymore. ---

Ferguson said his office also intends to file a bar complaint against Shogren.

Apparently, he’s been representing himself in court. I feel like that tells you something about the strength of his case, because I’m pretty sure that he could afford to hire a lawyer - just none of them are willing to do what he wants them to do. ---
