- Fact: At least 5% of Republican women in the House will get end their marriages in their first two terms in office. As they talk about how gay marriage is destroying families, they’re filing divorce papers.
- Mueller: 22 months, 37 indictments (including 14 Russians), at least eight guilty pleas or convictions, more than $40 million in ill-gotten gains confiscated. Durham: 1 guilty plea resulting in 400 hours community service, two lost prosecutions, a first-class trip to Italy with Bill Barr, and a $7 million price tag.
- So Rudy Giuliani is a serial sexual predator, too, huh? Is there a male in Trump’s cabal who’s not? To Trump, that’s a feature, not a glitch.
- Holy crap, Gym, hire a stylist. Get a gay friend. Retain the services of a design firm. Get a makeover, man! And re-do your entire strategy because you look like an asshole in more than just a fashion sense.
- Our talking point: “Work requirements” for federal safety net programs = corporate subsidies of their workforce so they don’t have to pay a living wage to people working full-time. Why should taxpayers pay corporate welfare to companies making hundreds of billions in profit that gets distributed to their shareholders? Should the money go to paying a workforce first, and dividends second?
- Ron DeSantis continues to prove the flaw of conservatives in the US: they’re not conservatives. They’re greedy glory seekers who will ditch their proclaimed values for power. A mouse will ultimately teach Ron his painful lesson.
- I know a lot of lacrosse players–I’m a white kid from the suburbs in the Northeast who went to Johns Hopkins after all. I’ve talked with old-timers who played with and against Jim Brown when he was at Syracuse in the era of wood sticks. Virtually to a person, they called him the most underappreciated player–and perhaps the best player–in the history of college lacrosse. Godspeed.
- The only Trump-endorsed candidate of note to advance after Tuesday primaries was in the Kentucky governor’s race. Pro-insurrection candidates lost key races in Pennsylvania and other races in Kentucky. Jacksonville’s mayoral outcome is a strong slap at DeSantis’s rule, and it should worry him about his 2024 chances in his own state.
- I will not revel in Lauren Boebert’s divorce because she’s a Republican. I will revel in her divorce because she’s a sanctimonious hypocrite who thinks she’s “godly” enough to tell others how to live their lives while hers is a scene from Whose Afraid of Virginia Wolff?
- Lollipops are hard candies for people who lack commitment.
- You knew Elon Musk would cave to the demand of an autocrat. Like all faux libertarians and people who claim to be the “champion” of something, he could not resist the lure of cozying up to the politically powerful.
- So Rudy Giuliani is a serial sexual predator, too, huh? Is there a male in Trump’s cabal who’s not? To Trump, that’s a feature, not a glitch.
- Was reminded of that time Donald Trump stole the family crest he claims is his. Yeah, everything about him is that fake.
- The herbs are in the pots. The whisky barrel is packed with basil. The flowers are in the beds. For some reason, I plant mint every year, thinking we’ll use it, but outside of a couple leaves for tea, rarely do. But we’re ready for summer, whatever it brings.
- Fani Willis ensured that Jordan and Comer will create another major Biden scandal out of thin air around June 15th. Watch for new graphics on Fox by mid-June.
- At just 44 years old, Ron DeSantis has at least another six or seven presidential elections to lose in his career.
- I can’t tell if White House Plumbers is a keen satire on what actually took place or a faithful recreation of what took place. Either is feasible.
- There are some dining trends I don’t miss, like food towers and everything covered in sauces. But I do wish restaurants would reintroduce parsley as a garnish. It’s functional: parsley helps reduce bad breath, so after a meal, you’re actually supposed to eat it.
- If you have students–or teachers–in your household, respect their upcoming finals. It’s stressful all around.
