Every time I see a photo of Rudy's teeth, I get grossed out.

Especially in that first tweet - HOW are they "mounted" in there? EEEEEuuuuuuww!

Thank goodness.

Fucking greedy republi-CON poison pill.

Preferably encased in a nice concrete block.

And dumped into the ocean.

Probably no one else can get close to him

especially when we've seen them seated at the other end of the table in the next county.

I'd guess only a very small, exclusive handful of close trusted “suitors.”



But how long will those loyalties last?

March 9, 2022

All of the above!

March 9, 2022

That's welcome news!

Please keep us posted!

That must be it. The Taiwan thing.

No way to predict how that one would go, or whether the world would unite for Taiwan as everyone has around Ukraine, but if Xi's smart, he probably doesn't want to risk it.

Xi probably recognizes that Putin will not recover from this. Why stick your neck out, even when your situation is different?

Classic.

Defying the very essence of the Republican founding philosophy:

Every man for himself;
Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps;
Don't go asking anybody/me for help;
I don't believe in handouts.
It's their own fault that they're poor (it just means they're lazy);
Rugged Individualism!

Also known as:

You're on your own;
Get for yourself;
Sucks to be you;
and my dad's all-time favorite: IGMFU ("I Got Mine, F-U" ).

Also in defiance of anything in the Bible, or the teachings of Jesus, Whom they claim to worship (as YOU worthless lazy godless freeloaders obviously don't! Besides, haven't you heard? God wants you to be RICH!).

As to that last one, I spent too many of my "Wonder Years" in Catholic school. NEVER ONCE did I EVER hear anything like that "God wants you to be RICH!" crap. We were taught that Jesus hung out with the poor, the sick, and the outcast. All our Bible and New Testament studies confirmed and reinforced that.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
