Elizabeth Was *Not* Ready For The Revolution
I’ve read a lot of articles and commentary about the attempted coup at the US Capitol a couple weeks ago but this might be my single most favourite thing to come out of it: Doubly so for this remix (don’t normally link to Instagram but hard to find it on YouTube and Twitter – maybe […]
Friday Fun Link – Ted Cruz For Human President
