"“Finish them”? Are you a presidential candidate or the dumbest avatar in “Street Fighter”?"

Point of order: "Finish Them" is Mortal Kombat. Street Fighter bouts end with simple KOs.

Ta, Gary. I'm glad watching that Loser Parade is your job, not mine.

Tim Scott produces actual human woman to prove he’s actual human man. “We are dating heavy for like, a year or maybe many of the years,” Scott assured onlookers. “We kiss the face and could have the best sexing but we are waiting for approval from god or Donald Trump.” Scott kissed his relationship person on the shoulder and said “she is a woman, and definitely has no plans to be trans.” When asked how she felt about her chosen congressman, she replied, “I support Senator Scott’s relationship with me.” They were seen shaking hands before leaving the venue in separate vehicles.

Excellent writing, but your choice of subject is iffy.

I’ll accept that. I did feel a bit guilty about teasing them. But I’m imperfect.

Oh fucking enough already with Scott and whether he does or doesn't have a girlfriend.

Every time a politician is unmarried (or marries late in life), someone invariably starts a rumor that he or she is gay. I've never known that not to happen, whether it's a pol on the left, the right or anywhere else. Sometimes it's true, but so fucking what? IMO it's one of the uglier and more annoying aspects of American politics.

Agree totally. However, a lot of the “interest” in Scott’s sexuality was self-inflicted due to his insistence and support of total abstinence before marriage and marketing himself as an “adult virgin” in the 90s and beyond.

The media is fascinated with the mystery. I don’t care if he’s single, deeply in love or dating Lindsey Graham. I just don’t like Tim Scott.

The clown car's wheels are falling off early this time. Look at this mob of possibilities from 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Republican_Party_presidential_candidates The scrubs the GOP is fronting as if they could beat Trump are pathetic.

"If it was Star Wars, he’d be the prequels. You get the idea."

The sequels were far worse actually....unless they are reserved for someone worse than Vivek which may actually be a thing.

If I had to choice between those five candidates I would chose death before dishonor. Christie would probably be the least worst choice since he seems to be a traditionally corrupt politician and not quite the spital drooling frantic like the others.

Now that you mention it, this brings clarity to that `falling on a sword' decision. Sometimes you pick the least bad choice.

"In September, Scott told a crowd in Iowa that he was dating “a lovely Christian girl,” but remained tight-lipped about when she would join him on the campaign trail."

You have to give Tim Scott credit. Do you know how hard it is at his age in South Carolina to find a virgin over 13 to date?

Did anyone else see DeSantorum refer to the PM of Israel as Bibi? I'm no fan of either individual, but I doubt they are that familiar

Ramaswamy is indescribably awful - and ignorant to thirteen decimal places, but that's all but universal in the GOP, so I plead guilty to redundancy.

You'd a thought that a deep huff of Easy Off would at least clear his sinuses but obviously that is not the case.

Give the guy a break. He's a Cowboys fan, and presumably will be until Jerry Jones asks someone in Christie's hearing "Who's that fat guy again?" one too many times.

Unless you meant the baseball Giants, in which case you should be ashamed, Gary, for wanting to inflict Chris Christie on a beautiful city like San Francisco.
