I met him in Boston! That's a coronavirus crown and a spangly codpiece! So happy he'll be in DC!

The world today: too many bad men with too much power.

He went to MIT, Donald! Doesn't THAT mean something to you?

You'd think he'd avoid trashing the place so more people would apply. How attractive does this country truly look right now?

That senator went to MIT. Does Trump know? He might apologize, since he's so in awe of the institution. <sarcasm>

Have seen photos with that ear visible and not for nothin' but it looks totally fine.

I've long been a proponent of lightning strike - as a clean, public, non-martyry solution to . . . Stuff.

I hate "100 percent."

Akin to this, my mega pet peeve is sportcasters who say how old an athlete is like this: "He is an incredible 38 YEARS OF AGE." "She's only 17 YEARS OF AGE." Once you notice it, it will plague your life until you are infinity YEARS OF AGE.

In big pharma I noticed things designed to get moms to resign, like big sales meetings scheduled far from home for the full week prior to Christmas, (with tons of prework) or meetings with management at 6 pm an hour from home on Halloween, etc. So even if you get the job, they make it hard to stay.

See "The Lives of Others" if you wonder what the State could do to performers if they choose. A true story.

Caution, JD, there will be Poors, a lack of healthcare and housing, plus a revolution. (Will it resonate at all?)

I vote to rename them the Eugene McCarthy or the Roy Cohn. LOL. Right wing icons.

They look like little dinosaurs for a long time!

FWIW, at 2 yrs old, I noticed my kid had meltdowns when we didn't keep her in the loop. We started managing her expectations, and things got better.

In 2024 he said "don't worry about voting" amd "we don't really need your vote," alluding to something Elon would take care of.

Ok, but wasn't that in GA, not NY? What GA data do we have?

And today that hallowed spot is between a seafood place and a Starbucks.

Someone said dance party and that's a great idea. Get some djs, dress up, dance. The photos will be hard to "spin" as a riot. Take a page out of Bukele's "umbrella drinks by the pool" ta tic.

It will be delicious when this guy gets a previously curable disease some day.

Ok, but what TIME on the 14th?

Supposedly he borrowed everyone else's medals and pinned them on his uniform before the photo. Plus ça change, non?

And the Sunday morning shows have a new topic - surprise! Not Elon or Epstein.

Umm, he keeps golfing?

Read in middle school. My oddball take at the end, when he flies off was, "Sure, soar higher. But there's nothing to eat there, so you'll either be back, or corked."

Ok, how about the greater Knoxville area, then? My in-laws were very much like this! Castrate enough piglets, maybe, and you end up with this outlook?

I used to be married to someone from Iowa and spent a bunch of time there. As much as I don't like her, this sentiment squares with the culture I experienced, which is very noticeable when a family member is gravely ill or dies. Dryly matter-of-fact type of people regarding life and death.

Grace Kelly's niece, no doubt.

Between whatever they're saying about Biden, and this idiocy about Trump's PDB, I swear something is so wrong with this country that both of these guys are somehow preferable for voters vs a competent Black woman.

<sarcasm> First they came for the moms, Vanessa, and then they said YOU looked like you might be too dangerous to the other participants on the sports team, so hope you don't mind proving your gender to the athletic director.

When previously posted, a commenter from Germany said they were taught in school to look for propaganda like this - the beautiful image up against the tragic story is a hallmark of dangerous rhetoric that is messing with our brains on purpose.

Thiel is gay married but meanwhile his boyfriend fell off a Miami high rise a couple of years ago. Curious.

Who's left over at Fox that he can appoint to the job? Hannity? Or is this more of a Lara Trump role, where in addition to singing, she can start painting?

What do they have on him?

Cue the resurrection of Trump University.

Doesn't it seem like they think the way to lower Medicaid costs is to let anyone on Medicaid die? Betting they'll gin up a "why you should take up smoking" program next.

"So why even try?"

I hope Admissions is starting a list of kids who should never even bother to apply to Harvard because of their MAGA bona fides.

Doug Jones?
