He almost never fails to make me at least chuckle, but combined with a wit and intelligence that usually impresses, as well.

I've been a fan ever since Bush 43. He started a website called The Smirking Chimp. You had to know that that guy had some game.

I only became acquainted with him when seeing his Tweets posted on DU.

Like you, I enjoy his wit and intelligence. He is in a league of his own.

In those days, you not only knew who it was aimed at, but also the general tone of what was being levelled at him.

Neatly summarizes my thoughts.

I’m just waiting for the NEXT date to magically appear when Trump will be inaugurated. All for stirring up the MAGATS and wasting resources. Just keep this con going.

rather than grasp that they lost and fight it with all kinds of death-dealing equi,pment.

Certainly some who have escaped from QAnon and some who have close family member in QAnon, think so.

5. So...what is the deal with Mr. Potato Head?

I hear whispers of it being part of some Q deal, but geez, it is a TOY!!!

That is all it is. A TOY.

My grandson has one and loves it. He's three and he would come up holding it out to me and say, "I need help!" It was really cute, but after I'd taught him how to put the parts on, he quit asking me for my help

I love that little guy, and Mr. Potato Head does not seem dangerous to me. So weird he has been politicized.

separate Mr or Mrs Potatoheads. Now it is just "potatohead" and it's up to the buyer to attach whichever gender parts they want.

Rightist Q idiots apparently MUST BE ASSIGNED a specific gender by someone higher up. They're too stupid to figure that sort of thing out for themselves, so they're terribly upset.

G.I. Joe was ok! Batman, Superman and other "Male" heroes was ok cuz...manly!

Maybe they're worried about a Senator Lindsay Graham doll but I'll bet a Josh Hawley or MTG with guns-a-blazin' or Jacket-off Gym-in-he Jordan Dolly would be just fine.

They’re trying to draw attention away from a new line of LEGO products, targeted specifically to Proud Buoys, Oath Keeblers, and their ilk.



The song was written 45 years ago, and this video was made 15 years ago, but it seems to be gaining relevance today.

It's a uni-sex potato with mixable accessories - you can make it any gender you want by accessorizing. Can't have that!

Geez. They really ARE idiots. No doubt about it.

This is right up there with right wing 'revelations' about Bert and Ernie, and Sponge Bob. And let's not forget that notable commie, the Lorax!

Don't recall any mammaries or penises among the attachments. "Mrs." Potato Head could have a moustache. Or dress differently than hir gender identity. Today's kids will be smarter about that than conservative political smear teams.

Wasn’t so long ago that side was telling us to “get over it”. Now, seems to me it’s only fair that WE get OUR turn to - um - “return the favor”.

Or, maybe cut to the chase and dumb it down to the level these cretins can understand, and just say “Fuck ‘em!”

FUCK ‘EM!
