one lonely outpost in the ongoing war on intellectually dishonest narrative cultivation
I have waited five days since marking this link and still have not found anything about this shallow attempt to cultivate yet another silly narrative against President Trump that interested me more than the term introduced to me here: The Signal chat thing is a gut check for alleged cons. Nothing significant was revealed. Worst …

Looking back five years to when the 'pandemic' came crashing down on all of us seems to be a popular thing to do these days. I guess I will join the fun. Fortunately, almost two years ago, I took a look back from that vantage point at my own mindset at the time as documented …
Just so the reader doesn't unintentionally fall for a more innocuous meaning of the term that is certainly not intended, I will start with this from Urban Dictionary: Skid Mark - A line of fecal matter in your underwear that varies in thickness from thin to meaty.
