Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

Two shots to get the party started. Now a Bosom Caresser. It’s a cocktail! You dirty-minded thing! Brandy, Madeira, triple sec, and a splash of grenadine. Yummy.

Raising a glass to our beloved SalmonChantedEvening. Hope he will be better soon.

I love you all…

[Skittles]

1. your opinion on the ankles thing, please

[Aristus]

3. Chronic Venous Insufficiency, possibly.

But with edema that pronounced, I’m thinking congestive heart failure. May its work be completed soon…

[Skittles]

4. certainly not soon enough

[Aristus]

6. That's for sure.

The one upside to this horrible, god-awful stinking mess is that we have something to look forward to every single day. Every single day. Can’t wait for it to happen.

We’ll have to do our celebrating online. Because you know bereaved Trumpsters are going to go searching for anyone who looks happy that It is dead…

[Skittles]

7. President Vance doesn't sound appealing in any freaking way

it's a total fubar situation and we're just now a couple days away from being 6 months in

[Aristus]

10. Vance can't sway the degenerate masses the way Trump can.

He won’t get as much done, or convince as many bad people to help him do it.

[Skittles]

11. I hear you

Vance reminds me of DeSantis: they both try to mimic human behavior - badly

[eppur_se_muova]

15. Including Congressional Repugs, who saw their wet-behind-the-ears, bought-and-paid-for, "colleague" elevated over them.

There's gotta be a lot of resentment over that. Plus he has almost no significant experience working with other, especially senior, politicians, except as Turnip's messenger boy. When the king is dead, purges at court traditionally follow. Should bring a degree of satisfaction to onlookers.

ToadyBot is not ready for full release.

12. JV Dance doesn't have

The Felon's Hitleresque hypnotic power. He wouldn't be able to command their complete adoraion. He'd get a plastic version of it for a little while, but they'd soon realize he's not The Annointed One.

[Skittles]

13. but the "annointed one" is an utter BUFFOON

it's not like Trump reaches some high bar

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Rule no. 1 of battle:

Never underestimate your enemy.

The Felon comes across as an utter buffoon, and he's almost certainly the least educated U.S. president in history.

But, he's crafty as hell and has a highly developed sense for the jugular. He's also vicious and relentless. He's very much like Hitler or Mussolini, neither of whom were geniuses, but simply bullies who sensed fear and knew how to capitalize on it.

JV Dance has none of that -- at least, as far as he's shown. The right-wing would see him as a pinch-hitter for Shohei Ohtani or Aaron Judge.

[Skittles]

18. I think you have to be a complete idiot to fall for Trump's nonsense

he has always come across as completely pathetic to me

and JD Vance is a pathetic Trump humper

[Dulcinea]

19. I thought that from the beginning.

I'm not a doctor or a medical professional, but my uncle passed from CHF & he had many of the same symptoms. As far as I know, there's no cure.

[biophile]

2. Better a Bosom Caresser than a pussy grabber

[Aristus]

5. Definitely.

One is gentle and affectionate. The other is criminal assault.

[Marthe48]

8. Do you bbq or grill much?

if you aren't a vegetarian, would you rather have a beef burger, or a hot dog? Or something else?

Rainy here and keeping a lot of people from firing up the grill, but I can fantasize

[Aristus]

9. I hate barbecuing. I hate prepping the grill, cooking the meat,

and cleaning up afterwards.

I like going to barbecues as long as someone else is doing the cooking. And barbecued cheeseburgers are absolutely incredible.

[Figarosmom]

14. How long does the buzz last?

And when does the hang over begin?

[Aristus]

16. The hangover began about four hours ago.

It’s already getting better.
