This is ridiculous. Where the f is ot.

It's becoming onerous to search for ot and bad enough when you finally find it, often not on the last post but it's particularly irritating when it doesnt seem to be announced anywhere.

Maybe put it in the heading?

Remember when we used to fear that Tiny D was Trump but smarter?

I think the "but smarter" is still valid, but the way he's proven himself to be so very very bad at campaigning at a national level has made it a moot point. Of course, saying he's bad at campaigning raises the question of "so how the fuck did he get elected with such huge numbers", but I guess "Florida" is an answer to that.

A walking sphincter like Rick Scott(!) is playing nice with Biden?

Did it also start to rain frogs, and dogs and cats started applying for marriage licenses...?

I'm sure he threw up a little in his mouth, but he choked it back down and remained gracious while pretending Rick Scott is an actual human being. That's just the kind of classy guy Biden is.

Or...Biden knows the wisdom of Elim Garak's comment, "Smile—it makes people wonder what you're up to...."

That's who we need right now—a humble bisexual Cardassin tailor who can take care of what needs taking care of.

Sorry, but TOS will always be first in my heart. DS9 has remained a firm second, but SNW is hard-charging that. YES EVEN WITH THE LOWER DECKS CROSSOVER AND THE MUSICAL EPISODES WHY DO YOU PEOPLE HATE FUN

That’s pretty bad when known garbage human and social safety net hater Rick Scott actually makes you look WAY WORSE. I mean, that’s not easy.

Bet your sweet arse that if it were Trump showing that he gave a shit about Floridians post-hurricane* DeSantis would have been tripping over himself to meet with him. Instead, we get to see what a small, petty man DeSantis is.

*As if that would even happen. Trump’s first and only concern about Florida after a hurricane would be if his trash palace could make money off the disaster.

Who in hell names their kid Cord Byrd? Or Bird Cord? Or anything like that?

He is just trying to avoid the "Hug of Death" like what Obama gave Christie, that's why the coward ducked.

I suppose Rick Scott will now have a challenger in his next election cycle who will criticize him for meeting with Biden and (gasp) saying something good about him! Because the Republican party is opposed to basic human decency.

Actually, I haven't noticed any of them attacking DeSantis much at all. With the exception of one or two cracks by Vivisect, they all left him pretty much alone during the debate, as he did them. I haven't seen much in the way of attacks on him afterward by the other candidates, either. I wonder what's behind that -- maybe it's a simple case of "I'll leave you alone if you leave me alone"? And I wonder if, and when, it's going to change.

They figure he can implode without any need for assist, and don't want to be remembered for knifing him.

I call him "Kinky Boots"...not because I want to kink-shame, but because I KNOW it will get all two or three of DeSantis's fans to utterly lose their shit.

I've been doing some research and I'm suspecting that The Party of Leopards Eating People's Faces and The Party of People Punching Themselves in the Dick have a lot of overlap. Might make a diagram of some sort to illustrate.

Lately, there has been a lot of MSM talk of the need for both sides to seek some sort of civil discourse, avoiding the contentious rhetoric, etc. Somehow, Ron's no-show wasn't mentioned but it spoke volumes about the willingness of the repubs to do this.

When (and not “if”) PAB dies from either the heroic intervention of a clot or under an orange-stained pillow gripped in Melania’s talons, the void will be as profound as the deepest stretches of space. The fact that we haven’t yet seen the smarmy goblin that could take his place scares me but also makes me wonder if the GOP will ever find another Barnum of the boneheaded to get all the broken rubes under the same tent.
