“A fringe figure in right-wing politics for years, Fuentes rose to national prominence late last year when Hitler-praising rapper Kanye West brought him as a guest to dine with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.” God, how I wish that sentence didn’t make any sense to me. How did we get here?!? ---

The classes are held in a meeting room at the local library. The last class featured a couple of ladies getting upset because they couldn’t carry their guns and one of them blamed Biden for it. Yavapai county is blood red. The board of supervisors are all Repug. The Repug run county mandated no guns in libraries and courtrooms well over a decade again. The budistas at my favorite dispensary all know me by name. ---

What the fuck is up with Rudy’s eyes going from 75% closed to 110% open? It happens twice in that video and something I’ve noticed for a long time.
