      As a circus performer, I’d like to take a moment to point out that the circus is traditionally full of outcasts and artists who challenge the status quo and are often exploited by capitalism. It’s also given us antifascist icons like Josephine Baker.

      I know it’s a common saying and I’m just pissing into the ocean here, but I’m just trying to make a small change for the better. This dumpster fire of a regime could not run a circus if they wanted to.

    This photo looks like a giant robotic insect is moments away from destroying the White House. Sadly, this is not the case.

      When propaganda causes voters to vote 3rd party or stay home, you get to live in conservative clown reality.

        The candidates are what drove people to sit out or vote 3rd party. Trump or Dick Cheney’s favorite genocidal candidate isn’t a choice worth making. The longer people like yourself refuse to face reality, the longer it’ll be before we dig ourselves out of this deep hole.

    Great, there will be crowds there. Maybe overwhelmed security. Confusing lights. Good opportunity to take a shot.
