4. Who cares if another nut joins Trump? The bear dumping ex-Junkie sybarite has long been a disgrace.

...Yet.
Could it be he made a deal to replace Vance to throw his "weight" behind Dumpf.

15. Vance had better hire a food taster, drink only from a random sealed water bottle and stay in the USA

He'll do anything to win, and he's already threatened his last VP. You'd better wear a bulletproof vest, JD.

But with Bobby polling 4% they couldn't possible squeeze more than 1.5% out of this endorsement on a good day and with perfect execution on the ground, neither of which they are capable of.

No moral core, no integrity, no honor. Willing to flip and flop and flounder around if he can get something out of it.

A sad case.

9. Maroon? Apparently a new meaning for me.

The one I'm used to, apart from the color and verb, is usually the second one of these two:

maroon

1 a person who is marooned
2 maroon or Maroon : a Black person of the Americas who escaped slavery and formed or joined a free and often secluded settlement or a descendant of such a person
Wherever Africans were enslaved in the world, there were runaways who escaped permanently and lived in free independent settlements. These people and their descendants are known as "maroons."
—Richard Grant
From the late 17th century to the end of the [U.S.] Civil War, thousands of maroons—runaways who obtained their freedom by occupying remote and uninhabited regions—lived in relative secrecy throughout the 750-square-mile wilderness.
—Lex Pryor
especially, usually Maroon : a maroon of the West Indies or Guiana in the 17th and 18th centuries or a descendant of such a person


Somehow, RFKJ doesn't fit either of those definitions.
