Larry King, RIP

😢

As per CNN and BBC

I used to Listen to him all night on Mutual radio when he would interview stars in a Miami Beach hotel lobby. I had terrible insomnia and enjoyed his show. This was long before all night cable.

The Q movement reminds me of something that happened a long time ago

When I was a kid, some humorous individual wrote a parody the premise for which was that the nakedness of animals was obscene, since their private parts are exposed. A decent-sized movement grew in which the individuals wished to have laws passed forbidding nakedness of animals in public.

The amazing thing was, like in the era of Trump, most people knew someone who was intrigued by this movement and considered becoming or became adherents.

The Q hoax (there’s that word again!) took advantage of the mental rubes and is not atypical historically. There was a book in the 60’s entitled “Rumor, Fear, and the Madness of Crowds”. In it, there were many examples of frankly irrational and destructive behavior due to faulty belief systems.

There’s nothing new under the sun.

The press secretary should start the briefing

By saying: “Before I begin I wish to state for the record that President Biden’s inauguration had the largest crowd ever. Period.”

People would get a good laugh and get the tension out of the air.

....and I think they need to replace the toilets in the residence because

1. You can only imagine...

B. Melania insisted that she wouldn’t go there until they did from the Obamas.

Hear me out for one second:

Somewhere there are a whole bunch of men and women who are watching this right now and saying to their families: “I can’t believe that Dougie was in my Hebrew School class and he’s in the limousine with the Vice-President of the United States who is is wife.”

You have to have been there....

Two things:

Obama should walk up to Biden right before it starts , shake his hand and say: “This is a big fucking deal.”

Does anyone else remember that in 1993, when President Clinton was inaugurated, stepped out onto the portico of the WH and the Marine Band immediately began playing the Sousa March that was the theme from Monty Python’s Flying Circus?

WTAF???!!! We are gonna make a deal with McConnell for power sharing?

Instead of What Would Jesus Do, it should be: What Would Mitch Do? If Mitch had a tie and the VP tiebreak, he’d be putting as many Nazis in judgeships as he could, rejecting Climate Change, preventing votes on anything remotely progressive, like Food Stamps, place kids in cages,....you get the drift.

Why do we always fucking reach across the aisle? We are like Charlie Brown to Lucy’s football -what....again? Really??

Motherfucker! Sick of this. We need to repudiate these seditious, evil pricks.

Two things:

Did Nancy hold up the article of impeachment to show her signature to mock what Trump did when he’d sign something?

And

Nobody ever mentions the guy who was in the cabinet whose claim to fame was that he ran a company that sold toilets designed for well-endowed men. That’s so awesome a choice. Beats out the mypillow guy no sweat.
