> [@JRDelirious](#): > > paradoxically, _ **they don’t mind** _ that he’s just saying whatever it takes Not entirely true, though. There have been instances of people leaving a MAGA rally having lost the urge to vote for CFSG. Some of them _do_ mind. ---

I’ve only done Uber about 5 times, but as I recall, you rate the driver, and they rate you. If you are a total asshole in either case, well, someone may get some marks on their score. ---

Whenever in one of these threads you see an unfamiliar acronym or pseudonym used in a deprecatory manner, assume it refers to Mr. Donald J. Trump, former President of the USA. It’s sort of a thing for a large segment of the crowd. ---

And I know there’s a million nicknames for Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz and Ted Cruz and Ron Desantis and plenty of others. I can’t speak for other posters, but there’s times were I have to stop and work out, or ask, who someone is talking about. ---

I simply refuse to use the name unless absolutely neyessary, because it already gets plastered everywhere, all over the place, and every little bit helps. Also, “Couchfucker” is the VP candidate. ---

> [@Mundane\_Super\_Hero](#): > > > [@smithsb](#): > > > > Death didn’t stop Hannibal Lecter from endorsing Don the Con! > > I SO want to say, “Jodie Foster did.” How many times do I need to debunk this? Jodie Foster’s character Clarice Starling does not kill Hannibal Lecter in any of the books or movies based on Thomas Harris’ books. - In the _Hannibal_ movie, he chops off his own hand to escape. - In the _Hannibal_ book, they become lovers and run off together to South America. No, really. ---

John Hinkley was competent; he hit Reagan. ( And ruined Jodie Foster’s life. Bastard. ) Hinkley was a Bush family member. Name a family member of Rump who is actually competent enough to murder me and make it look like he was under his own control. Or don’t. ( Gee, you almost make me sad I sold all my guns & soaked some MAGA fucks for umpteen thousands of dollars. ) ---

Tiffany’s pretty mysterious. She might be able to pull it off. She’s at least smart and sly enough to keep from being associated with their matriarch’s grifts and schemes on most occasions. ---

Doesn’t he also have a niece who’s a (legitimate, actual) federal judge? I don’t know how good she is at murder, but she’s apparently competent at her job. ---
