One has a visual impression from its population that your President already had, erm, made his mark there.

For the benefit of those who missed it in action, i want to point out that a spammer’s post has been deleted.

Oh my, did I write that! Where I live in San Diego, there’s a mail order business who sell mushroom chocolate online. This one company sells them to apparently throngs of people. I’m not included but am used to their presence.

I’m not going to welcome dealers like that anymore. I’m embarrassed that I did that!

Honestly, making the thread a bit more surreal is kind of on-brand for the current mess.

Thank you!

I couldn’t figure out what that reply was talking about. I mean, Trump has been called a lot of things, but I hadn’t heard “mushroom” before. Oompa-loompa, sure, since they’re both orange, so I figured it had something to do with the chocolate. I really wanted to know where the mushrooms came in!

Oh, yeah-- I went plenty off-topic, but being that the last reply was almost a month ago, I thought no one would mind. And I really was confused about the referent.

The mushroom references originated with Stormy Daniels.

I believe that among the many types of mushroom there are specimens called

The Yellow Stainer  
The Paltry Puffball  
The Dung Roundhead  
The Devil’s Stinkhorn

Yup. And JD and others need to be put on notice that it can happen to them too.

We need to start _somewhere_. Cut off the head of the snake.
