I would be very happy to be wrong about 6/14/2025.

I don't believe it's a parade, it's a coup. With tanks and troops and blackjack and hookers.

Any Democrat congressmen or representative should leave DC now or yesterday.

I want to be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

----, you're good!

I didn't even think of the hookers. This could be like the Hooker Full Employment Act.

So - when I'm wrong, please feel free to tell me I'm a paranoid idiot.

Looking forward to that :)

Best outcome I can imagine.
