Perhaps Sen. Kennedy is lonely as the lowest dredge of humanity the GQP has dug up. He’s down there with Tuberville, AL and Markwayne Mullin, OK. I wonder if the Oxford he was educated at was the same one Jethro Bodine attended. ---

Remember Sean Spicer? He put out a tweet commemorating today in history: > [@](#): > > Today is Dday. It only lives in infamy if we remember and share the story of sacrifice with the next generation #DDay Following the predictable mockery, the tweet has now been deleted. ---

Well, it could had been D-day for the Japanese… /jk (As an aside, D day was the designation for the day a military operation was going to take place, specially a disembarkation, D-day on June 6th was not the only day a military operation was named that way in WWII, but it was the most famous) ---
