“…but in Gondor the new year will always now begin upon the twenty-fifth of March when Sauron fell, and when you were brought out of the fire to the King. He has tended you, and he now awaits you. You shall eat and drink with him. When you are ready I will lead you to him”.

Read your kids the Lord of Rings when they’re young. Mine are 5 and 7 and they are totally enamored. And they’ve never encountered the stories before….so they have no idea what’s about to happen.

*Long pause*

@Eric_Conn The depth of irony between this post and your pfp is so painful that it goes beyond typical rage bait, and must surely be a troll act to see how absurd you can act before people catch on
We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.
Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.
The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.
The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.
Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.
The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.
But sure. My paintings.

I have a pact with my children to always tell them the truth, and I did. But holy smokes kid.
