The actual name of “The Talking Foreskin” and that of Jimmy Carter should never be used in the same sentence.

This ferret-wearing twat beat a good friend and former student of mine who would have made a fabulous Representative. She’s currently a County Commissioner in that district.

My first try. 6/8.
Pretty sad considering how much politics occupies my brain.

Thanks. I’d forgotten that thing called a ‘laugh’.

As a rural Southerner, I believe that Johnson’s lies are far more serious than most people believe. Yes, he’s a Trump lackey. More importantly, he’s a fundamentalist ‘Christian’ who believes that he’s hastening the End Times and the return of Jesus.
Yes, such beliefs are pet raccoon crazy.
That does not make them less dangerous.

In the words of David Sedaris, the American voters were offered a choice between two entrees, and chose the shit sandwich laced with broken glass, rather than the chicken. I don’t give a fuck about debating baked chicken versus broiled. With eyes wide open, they passed on the chicken. That’s ALL that matters.

Such a possibility brings forth historical parallels.

Long ago, but not so far away, I taught for a living. One aspect of my last position was coordinating a team taught course, involving sixty instructors. Unlike me, they all shared the first name ‘Doctor’. When a full professor told me he was nervous before his umpteenth lecture to medical students, I thanked him.
In my world, if you’re not concerned about how your time on stage will go, then you’ve lost touch with how important it is. You’ve got this Governor.

The beauty is the damage it will do downstream.
A GOP voter who is disgusted by Robinson can’t vote straight ticket. So they have to check every other box, even in the chickenshit races. Those local Republicans will be paying the price.

Re: Kamala Harris Knows Who She’s Going to Pick

Still prefer Kelly, though I’d still support the ticket if she chose a deflated air dancer as her running mate.

Here’s the problem with that. We already beat him at the polls. In practical terms, it didn’t work.

Those of us that the Cheeto-faced, ferret-wearing shitgibbon didn’t kill with COVID, he’s slowly killing us with strokes, heart attacks, and liver failure.
