Wait until Dr. Oz offers to cover his snakeoil through what’s going to be left of Medicare/Medicaid.

Well, it won’t be reported by Joy Reid or Alex Wagner. Under pressure, they were fired from MSNBC today.

The thing that yet gives me hope is that AGW combined with the insect population crash and things like HxNy and feudocapitalist absurdities are converging to form a perfect maelstrom of collapse. This confluence was already in the cards, and Ms Harris would have been dragged down under the weight of it. At least the country and the world will witness the utter hapless bufoonery of the RW as they are tossed about in the cyclone that they themselves have striven to foment, to ever on be seen as the useless plop that they are, and, maybe, the non-RW will gain some traction in the Rs demise.
Or, I may just need to work on polishing up my proper pessimism.

Kid Rock has left his fiancée of 14 years to hook up with the congresswoman who tried to jerk off her ex during a musical for kids.

You’d think after 10 years she would have had a clue.

Apparently, The Independent can’t do math. Either they got engaged in 2017, or they’ve been engaged 14 years. It ain’t 2031 yet.

Publicly engaged for 8 years, been in a relationship for 14. I should’ve been more clear.

Technically speaking, I married my wife on our 26th anniversary of our moving in together.
But I only did it for the health insurance, honest!

On the flip side, I was married for ten years, even though we were only together for three (it took that much procrastination and feet-dragging to get the divorce papers in order).

Kid Rock and Boebert - a match made in hell!
If they ever get married, the centerpieces on the tables at the reception will be pairs of bumper nuts.

Technically speaking, I’m at 5. Proposed January 2020, then COVID hit, then during COVID we moved across the continent away from family, then after COVID every wedding venue was booked 2 years in advance, then several families members passed away. But it was never much of a priority for us anyway, really, and our wedding would have been for our (more traditional) families as much as us.

The refreshments at the honeymoon consist of pork rinds and Mountain Dew mixed with 100 proof vodka.
It’s called “Mountain Don’t”.

Yeah, I was married for 7 years in my first marriage, but we weren’t actually together for the last year.
I mean, we lived together, but we were more like hostile roommates who shared a kid at that point.

Sounds like a wacky sitcom.
In SRN (stupid Republican News), a great opportunity to make money will soon be available in Utah. Just open up a dental practice or academy as soon as the fluoride is gone from their water.

Getting people to accept fluoridation is like pulling teeth.

This is why our Discourse overlords have failed us: no “like” button.
I sniggered, quite loudly.

Granted, that’s much easier when they don’t accept fluoridation.
