[RandySF]

“North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is poised to enter the Republican presidential nomination race and is planning a June 7 event in Fargo, N.D., to make a major announcement,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The wealthy former software entrepreneur from a heavily Republican state is expected to join a rapidly expanding GOP field that added two entrants, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, this week.”

5. I'm here in ND

I know some of his friends. People really like him here. I, as part of the 30% dem minority in the state, never say anything against him publicly, especially since some of my friends are his friends (Fargo is small), but he did sign one of the most restrictive abortion bills into law and he outlawed ALL gender affirming care for minors. I don’t think he is an extremist personally but he does play by their rules. He would not be a good president. He has never had any real opposition from the other side of the aisle and has never really had to work with democrats.

6. The GOP primary is starting to resemble the Gray Davis Replacement Election

They gave you a sheet of paper with something like 800 names on it and you had to pick one of them.

8. The Physics of Clown Cars 🚙 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡

"It’s the most requested clown gag ever,” asserts Greg DeSanto. “Everyone wants to see a lot of clowns come out of a really small car.” Considering DeSanto’s position as the executive director of ?the International Clown Hall of ?Fame and Research Center in the consistently ?hilarious burg of Baraboo, ­Wisconsin, this is an assertion that needs to be taken almost somewhat seriously.

“There’s no trick to the clown-car gag,” says DeSanto, who matriculated in the hallowed halls of ?Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College and performed with the self-proclaimed “Greatest Show On Earth.” “There are no trap doors in stadium floors, and the cars are real cars.”

In fact, a clown car is fully functional. “We remove all of the interior,” explains DeSanto, “including the door panels and the headliner, and paint the windows except for a small slot for the driver to see through. The driver sits on a milk crate. We remove any interior barrier to the trunk, and we beef up the springs so that the car doesn’t seem to be riding on its bump stops. Then it’s a matter of shoving in the clowns.”

An American Standard Clown (ASC) stands five feet eight inches tall and weighs 158 pounds, according to the DOT’s Office of Circuses, Zoos, and Carnivals—and possibly Wikipedia. Wait a second . . . okay, now it’s on Wikipedia. Each clown occupies about three cubic feet, assuming a 15-inch width and five-inch thickness."...(more)
