> [@Leaper](#): > > Funny how it seems to be the ONE THING that his cultists won’t just mindlessly follow his latest whim on. Especially since HE started it. The quandary the Orange Menace is in is that his narcissism demanded that he claim to have personally invented the COVID vaccines (all of them) yet his acolytes consider them a lib’rul plot to track them and control their minds. It’s hard to know what he should say. Announcing that his sycophants don’t actually have any minds to control probably wouldn’t go over well, as they’re probably already very sensitive to this criticism. Maybe he could try claiming that yes, his genius did bring COVID vaccines to the world, but he didn’t expect the libs to start using it for Evil, like GPS tracking and mind control. ---

The adult dogs: Will have to be euthanized for everyone’s safety. The puppies: Might be salvageable if raised in a knowledgeable, kind home, but will probably be euthanized too, poor innocents.

For anyone who wasn’t watching the Oscars last night, host Jimmy Kimmel got in a good shot at Trump towards the end of the show. I’ll let the NY Times save me some mental effort at 7 am: > Former President Donald J. Trump couldn’t help himself, Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t resist either, and so the Oscars [closed on a political note](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/10/movies/trump-kimmel-oscars.html). Kimmel used some of his final stage time as host to read a post published on Truth Social by Trump. (And yes, he really did post it.) “Has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars,” Kimmel said, reading part of Trump’s missive. “His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be,” Kimmel added. After asking the audience, “See if you can guess which former president just posted that?” Kimmel offered one final barb, expressing surprise that Trump had stayed up to watch the telecast: “Isn’t it past your jail time?” he said. — _Matt Stevens_ ---
