I just have my two tiny house leopards and they don’t care about politics. Just food and snuggles.

That’s what they want you to think @ThelmaLou. They will turn on you when you least expect it and then…WHAMMO! Your face is gone.

Yes, but in this case it may be best to nip it, nip it in the bud. (ducks and runs)

I have frequently found that MAGA followers have a difficult time answering when you ask them what Trump has accomplished. Usually I get deflection in response. It’s not Trump’s fault, it’s the Democrats or someone else.

And this is why protests and taking back Congress and even impeaching the alt-right SCOTUS will not be enough. In order to get rid of weeds and other nuisance grasses, simply mowing them is not the solution. You need to get at the roots. And you need to get extreme.

I’ve always preferred “Gaze not into the abyss, for the abyss gazes also into you.”

However, at this point I’m leaning towards taking my chances with the abyss…

Yes, it is. I hope you people are happy. CBS knew you were gonna shit on her show and so preemptively aired its last episode last week. Or the week before. I don’t remember; I didn’t really watch it.

Correct. Or more accurately, wanted to return entirely to standup. She had been burning the candle at both ends for two years, working Mon-Thurs on the show, then touring and doing standup on the weekends and during recording breaks. Basically going full throttle for two years and of the two endeavors she much preferred standup, so she finally called it quits.

However she has claimed she wanted someone to replace her as the show was a valuable venue for exposing lesser known comedians to a wider audience. Unfortunately CBS wanted her more than the show and parent company Paramount is going through a complicated multi-billion $ merger with Skydance. So it was cheaper to lease out a low-performing time slot than continue to finance the show without Tomlinson.

I did not know that. I know the ratings were low enough that they joked about it on the show. I had assumed that killed it. Good for her, actually.

Hey, that’s all right with me. They, by extension, support RFKJr and you know where that’ll take them.

_Dragon_ fleas – the worst kind. They’ve got armored scales and breath fire. Just like whale lice are lots worse than normal lice.

Also, if you fight Al long enough, you get to wake up with Alice.

You get really good at it. But then, you begin to realize dragons are living creatures, just like us, with hopes and dreams, and families, and are just trying to survive. Eventually you work out a way for everyone to live together in peace and harmony. Dragons and men join together and solve all the world’s problems, then we develop space travel and take the dragon-human species to the stars. In 10M years, dragons and humans are the dominant species in the galaxy.
