Just wanted to let everyone know that I too have removed myself from consideration to be appointed to Marco Rubio’s Senate seat. I’m not a Republican, I don’t live in Florida and doubt I will ever set foot in that terrible state again, but I wanted to be proactive anyway.

This is creepy, Steve. I'm a doctor, too, I DO live in Florida, and I don't want Rubio's seat, either. Actually, all other things being equal, I'd take it, but I refuse to accept anything from DeSantis.

By the way, Adam and Sam, I totally agree with your Note 3. Note 4 is dicey. My impulse is to agree with it, but Reps and Donnie can do such massive damage that I'd be afraid to take the leashes off of them. Donnie oversaw half the world's COVID deaths, but he was dragged kicking and screaming to ask the drug thieves to develop vaccines. Americans would have learned a clearer lesson if everyone had let Donnie continue to claim there was no coronavirus, or it was no worse than a cold, or it didn't count because it was China's fault, but there would be X number fewer Americans left alive to learn the lesson. I suppose Donnie is the "Teflon Don." He gets COVID, and doesn't die, he gets shot, and doesn't die, he's 78 despite a terrible diet and no exercise. That must be part of the mystique that makes the wits of the voters so dim that they vote for him.

Ya know, people are saying it's because of the stroke. I had a family member who had a stroke and also one who had a heart attack (which messes with emotional fragility), so vascular diseases/injuries are known for that, but neither of them became fundamentally different people. I call BS on that.

War with effing Panama? No worries. Our 51st state will beat ‘em with hockey pucks. And clog their arteries with poutine.

Wtf, the orange shit stain is single handedly isolating the US before he gets in office. Now he said the US should own Greenland to keep peace around the world…did the last brain cell die or was it RFKJr’s brain worm that ate it? And was that before or after he said we’re taking back the Panama Canal?

You can’t make this shit up.

So when does Gaetz get charged with drugging and raping a minor? His best friend is serving 11 years for the same thing! The midterms can’t get here soon enough.

Have a Merry Christmas guys! 🎄🎁🎅🏼

SNL and Martin Short were rolling on the floor hilarious Saturday night. Hozier had a fabulous performance, too. It’s time for Rapist Gaetz to STFU and go hang out at the Rapist’s pad at Mara Lago. He’ll fit right in there.

Dear A & S, Thank you once again for wallowing thru the sh*t that is our new reality. Well, not new really is it? The continuation of the cr*p....We had a holiday get together the other night, it was more like a funeral reception. Like minds were gathered around our Holiday table, we omitted the crazy uncles and aunts...because we've always disliked them and they us...so gloves are off, and who gives a flying fuck about these nasty people....May your future be filled with people that respect each other and our democracy....before the put us all in a concentration camp.

How did it happen that "Melania" is #2 on this week's New York Times Best Sellers list? Are the clueless ones who voted for DT giving this ghost-written book to people for Xmas gifts? She must be delighted to be facing four more years having to decorate the White House for Xmas. I recall her expletive deleted comment and the grotesque trees she used before while spreading her own special version of Xmas cheer.

Another complaint frequently made by DT during his presidency was that Vogue Magazine never used a photo of his beloved wife on a cover, but that every other First Lady was so honored. Considering the capitulation of media people, billionaires etc. groveling before DT, it will be interesting if the editors of Vogue also capitulate and dedicate a cover to her. If they do, I have a suggestion - use one of the embarrassing ones from before her marriage.

I had no idea how much I needed Will Farrell and John C. Reilly recreating the David “F’ing” Bowie & Bing “F’ing” Crosby skit. Brought back memories of watching it in real-time with my Nana.

OTOH, Gaetz. Ewwwww.

Lastly, a little Van Halen: https://youtu.be/fuKDBPw8wQA?si=RjCMjGl4919eO0XC

Note 7, John Curtis started his political career as a Dem, but went to the dark side, we'll see how long he lasts resisting tRump and the MAGA faithful including Mike Lee. I'm not holding my breath.
