It’s not going to happen. According to _Newsweek_, Stone would run as a Libertarian, which would split the vote and elect the Democrat. Just riling up Trump’s base. Or possibly, a fundraising scam now that he’s (supposedly) broke. ---

I’m sure the great state of Fla. could find, or write new, a workaround for a nice White, I mean, Republican.

This is such a bizarre story that I can’t even _begin_ to do it justice by making a joke about it. [Qanon supporters bummed because JFK jr didn’t show up to Dealey Plaza (despite being dead), and announce that Trump is being reinstated to the presidency.](https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/qanon-supporters-meet-in-dallas-for-return-of-jfk-jr-trump-reinstatement/) ---

Respectfully, you suck the fun out of a room like the cold vacuum of space can suck away oxygen. I was trying to be subtle in the hopes that you’d catch on. If your zipper was down, I might have said "hey, flying low there, pal " in a quiet voice. FTR- I didn’t want to stand, walk to the front of the room, tap my glass against the podium microphone, and say, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I propose a toast! To Roderick\_Femm… the man with the Open Fly at table No. 3. C’mon… take a bow ! Don’t worry, there’s not enough there to fall out. You don’t even need the HANES briefs.
