Manly, patriotic tears are the best kind of tears.

''Which sounds so blazingly stupid that no one could possibly believe it..''And yet a large enough part of the population DOES.

Not surprising, since the Republican Party has been pushing a war against education since at least the 1950s, which has taken root mostly in the South and other rural areas (but not exclusively)And the Repubs use it EVERY DAY to convince them that everything they say is true, when it is almost always 100% WRONG. But then they will never listen to The Firesign Theatre.

And TFG was weaponised it, even saying "I love the poorly educated", because of course he does.And since they know virtually nothing about civics and government, excepet they are pissed when they have to pay so much for a driver's licence, they beleieve every shart that TFG spews put of his main facehole.

It will never change, even if TFG is locked up for life, or dies. They's just go to Junior and Ewic for their lies and blow.

For some reason, some of the pics in the stories here don't render, so I often don't know what people are talking about. Sometimes instead there with be a link to Giphy, so I can see it there, which I did today. And while this one sure ain't purty, is sure is accurate.

I bow to your superior nostalgia memory. I do claim some fame from having sat in Howdy Doody's Peanut Gallery and having been squirted by Clarabelle's soda syphon. Where did you grow up?

I was thinking this, and you worded it perfectly.TFG has never had an office job, never been in a meeting, and basically, never worked.

DeSantis is a hundred times worse.TFG was dumb, incompetent, and mainly cared about stuffing his pockets and scamming people.DeSantis is smart, actively malicious, and dismantling democracy step by step, and he's only in his 40s.

I'm sure that at one point he could, but after decades of sniffing his own farts, I imagine he had considerably lowered his IQ.

Maybe his buddy Elon can help with that.

Actually, I do not think he is. He did receive an education, even if much of it did not take, but at some point he started beleieving his own lies that it imparied his thinking.If you look at video of him in the 1970s and 1980s, he is clearly more cogent.

Of course him being the #1 asshole in the world certainly ciotributed to that.

New Jersey. There was at least one Robert Hall near us, but they played the jingle on the radio pretty often.
