I just stopped taking a government paycheck, retired after having served as a special educator and other kinds of teacher for the past 30 years.

You got a problem with that, J. D.?

"There were chuckles, sure, but nobody threw their MAGA panties at his beard or anything."

As in: "Real men wear MAGA panties"?

Oh yeah. There's a moment in the campaign where you can see something change. Obama/McCain was when Obama showed up for the housing crisis & McCain did not. Clinton's albatross was Comey. Last Sunday was the turning point this time. We are going to kick their asses from here into next November, where we'll kick their asses again.

Peter Thiel's intern has finally reached the pinnacle of this usefulness. May he fail accordingly and return to his mentor's warm embrace.

skinnercitycyclist's avatar

Yeah, he may even be screwing the pooch for any future chances he may have, though he may be saved by the famous MAGA attention-span.

JD Vance can’t decide whether he’s JD prance JD trans or JD mans, but the now straight pro Putin interloper is 1000% creepy like trump.

And of course, a creeper like this would come out of the cesspool minds of authoritarian apartheid baby man musk and his smooooth skinned alt white gay masseuse and fellow bully billy Thiel.

These creeps are all out of an X-rated version of eyes wide shut. And they all have the broken mind maga gaga virus.

Wait, you think Thiel would actually massage people? Doesn't that require empathy?

Full disclosure, I read Zero to One. Meh.

skinnercitycyclist's avatar

It also requires other human beings' coming within ten feet of him, so...

John David Bowman was in the Marines, alright. But if memory serves, wasn’t he doing PR? He was a press correspondent. He didn’t see any combat, right? His mouth is writing checks his experience can’t cash.

Or something. For a big pile of butthair (thanks Jeff Tiedrich), he’s surprisingly lightweight.

Here's a bright ray of sunshine. September, the Democratic National Convention done, Labor Day behind us, real, live Campaign Season starts.

Chump's got an evidentiary hearing on the Espionage case and his sentencing on the 34 counts in September. Who's going to be the face of the Chump campaign while he's stuck in court?

Hasn't his strange counsel appealed that hearing ...?

Where are we with that?

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

No idea. Biden, if you haven't heard, was old.

But he got better.

This is what I mean

The most recent coverage I can find of where the "appeal" was is the first week in July

That's the DC insurrection trial.

The NYS my-apartment-is-bigger-on-the-inside case is over; Donnie is just trying to evade paying the fuck up. ("Coughing up all that I stole is excessive!")

As for the NYS porn-star-payments/falsified-business-records "34 felonies" case, Judge Merchan has said he’ll rule on Trump's immunity claim on Sept. 6, and will sentence Trump on Sept. 18 if it's "still necessary.” The prosecution's brief is due to be filed today. Expect a jail term, but watch it be put off until after the election, and last only until Jan 20 (because powerful rich white fuckwad is why.)

I agree with everything you wrote except I blame Reagan for making “welfare queen” part of the Republican Hate Lexicon.

Ta, Evan. JD Vance stinks at everything.

Peter westre's avatar

(R-Phony hillbilly) is the correct appellation for JD Vance.

Vance collects a Govmnt paycheck, now

"M"'s avatar

He did also when he served

(assuming of course that he did actually serve)

DogParent's avatar

I cannot WAIT to canvass for Harris and White Man TBA. Pointing out that Drumph is an old man in poor health who chose this inexperienced choad as VP... Even more fun than talking about McCain/Palin.

Are Cracked and Teen Vogue the two media outlets doing real reporting now?

insert_something_creative's avatar

Teen Vogue has been so impressive lately, who would have thought.

You know what? I am feeling cocky-levels of confidence about this election now. Even my famously "I hate politics" wife is all pumped up about it.

Still lots of work to do, but I feel like I'll be whistling while I do it. LFG!!!

Let me sum up's avatar

I have a spring in my step...is this what optimism feels like?

It's weird, isn't it?
