What happens when they start throwing out the performative anti LGBTQ bills? He doesn't want to primaried by someone even crazier, even another gay so they don't get charges of homophobia, he better vote for every hate-filled antigroomer, antipedo bill coming down the pike putting the blame on people exactly like him.

Virtual upfist because Disqus would rather tell the NYT they have no record of me attempting that action.

I hardly think he'll be invited to the coke orgies.

One upfist and Disqus won't let me give you another? That's cold, man. Real cold.

This weirdo is simply marching to the very offbeat drum of the wingnut party since 2016, when Trump proved there really is an alternate reality, one where you simply claim any identity you want, then attack the media if they expose you. Frauds like Trump, Herschel Walker and this Santos dude know there simply are no consequences for lying about who you are, because wingnuts donโ€™t care about facts, and our election laws are so limp they permit pathological liars like Trump to become potus.

I think when you file to become a candidate, you have to swear to something about all your info being true and correct and you're a citizen and all that. He would have had to sign his name and everything.

Until then, helping hands make the chores go faster.

I had a friend back in the 80's who was a Republican because of their stand on taxes. Don't know how he'd feel about the party today since he didn't make it out of the 80's alive thanks to Ronnie Raygunz assholery, AIDS-wise.

Virtual upfist, 'cause Disqus cut my ability to do it IRL.

You get a billion dollars, and dealing with all that money becomes a full-time job.

I used to hang out at a biker bar, and you could always tell when I guy was trying to get into a girl's pants. He'd order two peppermint schnapps, and the girl would demure, not good with hard liquor. He'd urge her to take a little sip. Ooh, peppermint! They'd toast and down them. The next round went down even easier.

I believe they call it a social lubricant.

Could be dicey if he had to travel to one of those state for official business. What if they passed a fun law like that in Florida, and Death Santa (like Santa if Santa were a dick) invites the House Republicans to Miami for a retreat to shore up his presidential bona fides.

For some reason, I'm especially put off by the ones who look like thumbs.

No one ever accepts accountability for their lies.I'm puzzled by this remark. Trump Republicans craft narratives, which are rated according to how much they make libs cry. The concepts of 'truth' and 'lies' are simply irrelevant.
