A giant squid once pulled a fishing boat several miles off the coast of New Smyrna Beach, Florida. New Smyrna is also the shark bite and lightning strike capital of the US.
Woah, that's both an impressive feat and kind of scary! Probably not a vampire squid, though, as they don't get much bigger than a foot or so. Plus, they live in the dark depths, and aren't actually even squid!
I wanted to send a few bucks to a candidate so I went to their web site to be direct about it. Candidate uses Act Blue and that gave me pause...Am I correct about having concerns about that?
I made a "Death of a Salesman" joke below. It reminded me, back in the late 70s Marvel had a comic called 'The Invaders" with Captain America leading a team of superheroes to fight the Axis powers in WW2.
To counter this, the Nazis used derivative of the Super Soldier Serum on an American Bundist named Wilhelm Lohmer, turning into the so-called "Master Man". Master Man's powers and abilities exceeded those possessed by Steve Rogers, but Willie himself was a born loser with self-loathing and a permanent inferiority complex, and becoming the ideal Aryan "super man" could not fix that.
Hitler also commanded that another Nazi super-soldier, the Amazonian-type Warrior Woman, be married to Master Man. She despised Willie as a blundering oaf, but obeyed the Fuhrer's orders.
As fate would have it, much like Steve Rogers, the Master Man and the Warrior Woman would be preserved in suspended animation to be revived in modern times. Willie was still a loser, while in combat against a team of Invaders both old and new it was revealed that the West German industrialist that had revived them had done so in order to take Willie's powers and his wife and become the new Master Man, Willie turned on them and activated the lab's self-destruct, bringing the dreams of a Fourth Reich down around their ears.
Seems like their might be some relevance there, still.

My first dream last night involved Melania all up in my face and lecturing me about how I’m doing my job wrong and I kept trying to interrupt and ask her what she knows about it and she would just tell me not to talk over her.
But then I woke up and went back to sleep and in that dream I had 3 little cats and they kept following me and they were sweet but starting to bug me by demanding attention so much.

To be fair, the campaign probably didn’t ask the companies to fund that specific ad. Still, we should demand that they pull their spending on him entirely.
Who knew that Putin's Kompromat on TFG was that he has a giant painting of Jon Husted's ass hanging over his bed in Trump Tower New York. Poor doddering old fool just can't help but let the cat out of the bag!
I don't know how Kompromat works on a person with absolutely ZERO shame though. He really was right that he could shoot someone and the cult would "clap him" (his words).
I think Jon Stewart's reenactment of a Glenn Beck episode to show how batshit crazy his show was (and Beck was) stands the test of time. As I often think of such stars of the firmament as Newt Gingrich, "Who in their right mind would listen to *anything* that guy has to say?"
These "men" are despicable.
So we were right not to trust the DNC leadership with our money, throwing good money after bad to those "consultants"? Whew! I'm so glad I'm not doing that now.

If that central aperture opens up, should we worried that it might ‘splode the White House? Should we care? (Would Jeff Goldblum care?)

Do vampire squids drink ink?

Rather Eldritch.
Give the squeed some feesh.
Pixar going overboard with these Inside Out sequels.
Bet it tastes good sauteed in EVOO and some garlic with a spritz of lemon.
I kept waiting for that thing to land on somebody's face and lay an egg. Yeeks!

But then I woke up and went back to sleep and in that dream I had 3 little cats and they kept following me and they were sweet but starting to bug me by demanding attention so much.
I wonder why?

Okay be honest, who besides the willfully ignorant is surprised by any of this?
Nope, no shocked face here. Sad that he felt he had to be closeted but that goes away when I think about the policies he enacted to HURT people.
Repeatedly.

The 17 year old lied about his age. However, if there is any doubt, you have to back out.

Name and shame!
AMEN.
And repeat. Constantly.
I always hated the Cincinnati Reds. (yes, I know its owners but I still hate them and their stupid tiny ballpark!)
Remember when Marge Schott was the owner?
I just looked her up. I had forgotten about her. Yep, my hatred is STILL well founded.
Centene sounds like a breath mint company.
To be fair, the campaign probably didn’t ask the companies to fund that specific ad. Still, we should demand that they pull their spending on him entirely.
When these corporations pull their funding for this swine, I'll be fair.
Well that sucks. My mortgage is held by Rocket. Not much I can do about that.
At least you know of their treachery...
I assume it of every major corporation.
My mortgage has been sold like 4 times over 16 years, finally winding up with Rocket for the last several.
