It's back. [View all]

That feeling is back.

The feeling of dread and uncertainty that existed for four plus years when we woke up every single morning.

That feeling of "What's he going to do now?" or what person he'll try to antagonize or how he'll plot or conspire to his own selfish ends.

What fresh hell will he bring today?

We had a four-year respite from it. Even President Biden's most staunch ideological opponents would have to truthfully and honestly admit he never put them in any such position himself.

But now we're back to this moment again. Every single morning.
