The world is not linear.
-- Dr. McElhone/1974

Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
-- Lord Acton/1887

Effective immediately, all laws, regulations, and obsolete norms limiting my authority over federal govenment employment are suspended. I am the unitary executive, and if you work for the federal government, you work for me. I demand total loyalty from my employees.

Well, we all are going to die.
-- Joni Ernst/2025 [and you committed electicide. good for us]
