There were more respectful ways to word that headline but none more click-baity.

Self-centered and desperate for cash. His supporters think he’s a successful businessman, and it’s true because his business is taking supporters’ money. Win or lose, he can never stop campaigning.

I do appreciate that he claims losers demand rematches without acknowledging that he is in a rematch after he lost 2020. Meanwhile, his wingman says celebrity billionaires should stay out of politics. Not a shred of self-awareness.

“Hanging himself with his own rope” is a funny saying. Imagine someone borrowing your rope to hang themself. “Sure, Don, you can borrow my rope.” Then you go to get your rope back. “Hey, Don! You done with my… nah, dude, that’s your rope. That’s not my rope. My bad.”

Do you think postal carriers work for free? Salaries, vehicle maintenance, keeping the lights on, etc, these are all real expenses.

He didn’t appoint himself to the job.

The key difference is the USPS is self-funded, so it does need to cover costs and maintain a reserve to cover downturns, which it could do by expanding into basic banking services, like check cashing, if DeJoy was not tasked with grinding the service down.

Again. He may lose again. He lost the popular vote twice. He will definitely lose it a third time, and he may lose the election again. “Again” needs to be emphasized because he’s going to keep trying and we must make sure he loses again.

Democrats support their own party leaders and vice versa. Republicans condemn their past leaders and support only Trump.

GWB is getting a boost from Liz Cheney and the other never-Trumpers because people buy into “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” mentality literally. They’re allies against a common foe, but they’re still vile, and the person who can remind us of that is Tim Walz

Walz took students to a campaign rally for then-President George W. Bush and watched as they were questioned by security because one had a John Kerry sticker on their wallet. After that, Walz volunteered for Kerry, retired from the National Guard after 24 years when Bush launched his illegal war, and beat the GOP incumbent for his seat. This one story told me everything I needed to know about Walz’s political origin and path, and reminds me that GWB deserves no fond nostalgia.

I remember when Al Gore was the climate VP.

Yeah, it’s a side issue, but what else is Don-old supposed to talk about? How he made Mexico pay for his big, beautiful wall?

Adjectives are not nouns.

Ugh. Up until he chose Palin, I would’ve been fine with McCain winning. I was for Obama, not against McCain, and then he went and f***ed it all up.

Nah. Everyone knew everyone back then, and my uncle loves sharing his stories. Basically all he did was tell that then-eight year old story, which still holds up.

“Legal woes” is quite the euphemism for “felony convictions”. Convicted felon? No, legally woeful.

My uncle was in that story. Decades ago, he told his boss a program would stop working in eight years (8-bit limitation, yeah, that long ago). His boss told him to ship it because they weren’t going to be there in eight years. Sure enough, they weren’t. Eight years later, their IT guy contacted my uncle because he couldn’t figure out why it stopped working, and my uncle showed him the math.

They should be mad. Biden stands down with a perfect 1-0 record of defeating Trump with no chance of rematch.

Has to be Marla. Ivana is buried in his New Jersey golf course. Not a joke.

First, convicted in court? Adultery is not a crime. Second, this alleged billionaire bathed in the attention of his famous affair. He posed for photos with Marla. It was on all the tabloid covers and entertainment news. More importantly, Tiffany was born two months before his divorce was final. His affair didn’t get less confirmed over time, but it clearly is less remembered.
