I actually like talking politics with people who don’t agree with me. I just make sure that I know my facts, and I focus on the point that I am trying to make & don’t get caught up in side issues. If they bring up something peripheral, I just say ‘Yeah, that’s a problem too’ and stay on target until I have made my point.
It’s hard to avoid politics when even an outbreak of measles is turned into a feast for anti-vaxxers (who have almost all been vaccinated but don’t want to protect their kids).
“The oddity in all of this is the people (The Reality Show Con Artist) despises most, love him the most,” said Mr Stern, who had (the Grifter in Chief) on his show over 40 times and attended two of his weddings. “The people who are voting for (The Fraud) for the most part… he wouldn’t even let them in a f***ing hotel.“He’d be disgusted by them. Go to Mar-a-Lago, see if there’s any people who look like you. I’m talking to you in the audience”, added the radio show host.
But then again I find MAGA-Ts to be disgusting rubes too!
Why don’t some people just enjoy the toons instead of trying to be an annoying sleuth and call out the creator for some stupid reason? Anything goes in cartoon land so lighten up!
In our house, Buttercup is almost never mentioned or even seen on tv . Very restful. He just doesn’t exist for us. Maybe if the tv and news outlets did the same?
However, we did notice the Go Fund Me legal fund that someone, probably the fat boil himself, set up to pay his legal bills. Talk about totally off planet. WOW!!

For that matter apostrophe doesn’t have an apostrophe. Although it is a very good Zappa album.

The New Yorker denies that it uses umlauts when it uses umlauts. It calls them diaeresis.

I’d find this ironic if it wasn’t so tragic.

No, it is irony. People are always confusing the two. There was a Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan rom-com years ago that was the worst example.
