In fairness to Rudy, it was almost true. He tried to surround himself with a gold fringe, but none of them are real blondes so it didn’t count. ---

So donald went to his son’s graduation yesterday, accompanied by his loving wife, who looks just _delighted_ to be seen in public next to him. I’m sure she just radiates joy in person. [![](https://i.ibb.co/1n0d9x6/IMG-1827.jpg) ](https://i.ibb.co/1n0d9x6/IMG-1827.jpg) ---

I’ll admit that I don’t know if this guy is a Trump supporter, but he did change to being a Republican in West Virginia, so the odds seem high (that and it’s such a fun story). > **[Copperhead snake bites candidate removing election signs](https://www.pennlive.com/nation-world/2024/05/copperhead-snake-bites-candidate-removing-election-signs.html)** > > The West Virginia secretary of state candidate has been hospitalized with bites on his leg and foot. ---

To my understanding, serving him the notice is mainly a formality. And Rudy knows it. ---

It was my assumption that he was taking down opponents signs, but it doesn’t say whose election signs he was removing and it is after the election, so I’d assume ( which I am clearly not very good at doing) he was taking down his own after the loss. Unless the schadenfreude is a snake being bitten by a snake? ---
