> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Apparently Tulsi Gabbard was there, too. When did she formally become a Republican? There is a crass and vulgar comment one can make about her and Vlad, which is highly distasteful and right on the mark. I recall on a particular site I was inhabiting, there was at least one hard-line glibertarian-type who thought she was the bee’s knees, so she has been essentially a Republican for quite some while. ---

I mean, who could? > [@](#): > > “Friends of mine that are liberals, are Democrats, they’re going, ‘Please, Mike, save our country.’” 🤔 Poor guy.

The log cabin republicans remind me of an abused spouse, with two black eyes and a bloody nose, who none the less claims that deep down her husband is a good man, and she can change him. ---

> [@Tamerlane](#): > > Hey, I’m glad to hear he’s supported by “95 percent of Americans.” The math is fairly straghtforward: some while back, he claimed that he had enough evidence to put three hundred million people in prison. That leaves some thirty-five million people who can properly call themselves “Americans”, being not deserving of imprisonment. Hence, the 95% works out to about 32 million people, mostly under the age of 12. Kids who are not genuinely creeped out by the man. ---
