It’s going to take months to sort through all of the stunning, crazy things Trump’s first batch of Executive Orders is attempting to do.

But this little nugget from the pro-death penalty EP is … quite a thing unto itself:

No need to be humble about milestones! I'm so ridiculously behind in podcast listening, that I'm just starting Android Faithful now, i.e., I hadn't yet heard your YouTube channel was active again and subscribed because I saw this post!
