Have you ever watched a wind sock deflate until it is just a sad polyester shell?

[kpete]

Alexandra Petri (WaPo) put it:

Have you ever watched a wind sock deflate until it is just a sad polyester shell crumpled on the pavement?

Have you ever left some soft cheese near a hot stove and come back to find a demoralized puddle in its place?

Have you ever failed to properly care for a houseplant so that not only do you watch it die, but you spend several weeks witnessing it wither, crumple and lose all dignity?

Relatedly, did you see Ted Cruz on with Tucker Carlson on Thursday night?

The dylithium crystals weren't quite right

[rsdsharp]

25. I dinna think she'll hold together!

[DENVERPOPS]

14. Nothing will make

a dick drop quicker than a hot woman ranting Trump, FoxNews, and Republican talking points......It is instantaneous.............And all the Viagara in the a pharmacy can't get it back up.......LOL

Sorry for the crude analogy, but it is a truism........

[gay texan]

[gay texan]

28. strange things do exist

Apparently i have a knack for finding them....

[Skittles]

29. oh join the crowd

I have picked some real doozies in my day, although I have to admit, I cannot imagine any of them as Trump humpers

[XacerbatedDem]

5. LOL!!!

[Snackshack]

6. That a US Senator...

Went on TV and begged for forgiveness because of how he (accurately) described Jan 6 is repulsive and should automatically disqualify any Senator that did that from office.

[AllaN01Bear]

7. absolutly positvitly no way . did he shed fake crocodile tears ? boo hoo.

[DENVERPOPS]

15. Don't forget Lindsay

who was shouting shit about Trump on a Friday, then went up for a golf weekend with Trump, and immediately reversed on a dime and returned to SC screaming Trump's bullshit from the rooftops. His performance/speech during the next impeachment was complete admiration for Trump and all Trump and the Republicans stood for.....I was flabbergasted after listening to everything Lindsay had said about Trump previous to that golf visit............

I can only speculate that Putin sent Trump some Color 8 x 12 glossies of Lindsay thru their back channel, and Trump showed them to Lindsay.................I can only speculate what those pictures might have shown......The Replublican's ignore infidelities, affairs, sexuality.

So what could THOSE pictures have shown that would have rocked Little Lindsay to horrify him to his core so effectively?????????

He threw a mind numbing 180 all in one weekend visit............I seriously doubt it was his sexual orientation, his voters knew all about that........ So what could have been in those pictures???????.............

Then again, maybe it was a spread sheet documenting all the Russian Oligarch Money the Republicans had laundered through the NRA and then funneled to his re-election campaign treasure chest.....?????????

[Lasher]

8. No, I seldom watch Fox.

But I'm told it was pretty pathetic.

ETA: Anderson Cooper was amused

[DENVERPOPS]

16. This, above ALL ELSE

goes to show how pathetically stupid Ted was to have said what he did in his original remarks.

WTF could he have been thinking??????????????

[Hekate]

10. Thank you, Alexandra Petri for those unforgettable images...

[Pinback]

11. Petri is the greatest.

I was reading some of her columns, including this one, yesterday, and saw that she does a live Q&A with readers every week! I may have to check that out. Transcripts of past sessions are on the WP website.

12. I once saw my brother squeeze a pimple

and got grossed out over the yellow, pussy stuff that oozed out of it. Thought I forgot about that until I saw Ted on Tucker and the memories came flowing back.

[NullTuples]

13. I'd love to see that

But all I get is,

"Democracy Dies in Darkness

(now fork over ten bucks or you lose your cushy form of government)"

[Blue Owl]

17. This has always brought me pleasure

[The Unmitigated Gall]

18. Fascist character structure is revolting.

Utter lickspittle subservience to perceived superiors, base cruelty towards perceived inferiors.
All around fucking cowards when faced with a fair fight.
You hardly ever see ONE proudboy. Always in a group.

[JohnnyRingo]

19. Tucker Carlson didn't deserve that.

Now I'm sure he thinks he's a king maker, that anyone who want to go places in the party will have to kneel before him. The proper response to his admonishments is "Screw you Carlson, where's your bow tie?

Did he get promoted after Rush died?

[Takket]

24. ask Stormy Daniels

[UTUSN]

26. Kick forever. No shame, humiliation gets to him. Not Chris CRISPY either.
