james bond looks tired

I come from a family of James Bond fans, and I also come from a family of people who absolutely hate Donald Trump. So, this small victory is what I'm going to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. (While rewatching James Bond movies, of course.)

Everyone Who Said They’d Watch One Piece If Biden Won Had Better Get Started!

For me, this “I’ll watch (x) if Biden wins” trend was one of the many, many, maaaaany ways people were trying to deal with the stress of the week. We’d all already voted, but the waiting for the results was excruciating. As someone who started a new job during election week, I greatly appreciated any form of stress relief.

There were many, many things that point to what a truly horrible person Donald Trump is, but one of the most obvious is that he's the first president in recent memory without a pet (no, Lindsay Graham doesn't count).
