October 28th 2020

Day 1451 Post-Ascendency of White Supremacy & Misogyny 

Day 1378 Post-Installation of White-Supremacist-Misogynist-Pussy-Grabbing-Self-Aggrandizing-Demagogic-Bully-Illegitimate-PeeeOTUS & his White-Nationalist-Fascistic-Christian-Supremacist-Quislings

Faithful Dispatches Readers! We are about to arrive at the moment when we will throw out the Fat Fascist Fuck and his abominable quislings. 

Can we keep our lurking 2016-PTSD-insanity in check for one more week?!?! Allow me to offer some lovely items that will calm, inspire, inform, and reenergize you.
