Also.Also.Also: Oh Trump Got Indicted
Today was sunny, I think I’m finally getting over my cold (I can breathe out of both nostrils! And take a deep breath in without feeling like my chest is going to cave! But I will miss the Robitussin daydreams!), I went for a walk outside, and more important than any of those things… today is the day that Donald Trump got indicted.
Queer as in F*ck You

Something that was immediately recognizable. But no. That was not small enough.
A single. Tiny. Cheeto.
True. He used a 3 inch one. https://t.co/X3YvAu6jID

And may this indictment be the first of many. (An Update: Donald Trump is expected to turn himself in and face arraignment on Tuesday, according to one of his lawyers. What a fucking day.)
