I think we should take a moment to give condolences to the “Ketchup Wiper Uppers” at Mar-a-Lago. ---

Why? It is guaranteed wages for them. I mean, sure, it’s probably minimum wage, but that is a job with some guarantee of permanence - well, at least until the tomato-sauce thrower in Chief expires. ---

“Marxist fraud”? So she pretends to be Marxist but really isn’t? They know they shouldn’t mention her race or gender critically, so they go for the Cold War-era scare words without knowing what they actually mean, assuming they’re synonyms for Nazis. ---

Trump is another word for fart in the UK, which seems entirely fitting. ---

Hehehe, these bridge jokes are lost on me. Apropos of nothing, my parents played pinochle and I never figured that game out, either. ---

[Stranded Trump Supporters Panic After Their Cars Get Towed During His Rally](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GezYeapT05o) > Dozens of MAGA supporters who traveled to Charlotte for Trump’s rally this week got a rude awakening when the event ended - They learned that their cars had been towed and that it would cost $380 to get them back. This is because dozens parked at a donut shop that had very clear and obvious signs about parking being for customers only, but the Trump supporters didn’t pay attention. **Now they believe they are victims of some kind of conspiracy** , as Farron Cousins explains. [my bold] The anti-MAGA Deep State is deep indeed. ---

So apparently Vance once had a friend who is a trans man. This is of course bade for Vance among his base who oppose any fraternization with the enemy. It is particularly bad and said friend upset about Vance’s support for the outlawing of gender-affirming care for minors, and calling him a Lesbian and so has now decided to release some of their email and texts. Lots more evidence that Vance hated Trump, but also something new, namely a quote from Vance saying he hates the police.
