🥇🥇🥇Jeff was recognized by Frank Bruni 🥇🥇🥇in "For the Love of Senences" feature.

Regarding the gubernatorial race in North Carolina, Jeff wrote: “Sorry, Republicans, it looks like you’re going to be forced to carry Mark Robinson to term — even if doing so endangers the life of your party.” (nominated by Linda Edmundson, Cranston, R.I.)

Yesterday I had a court hearing in Yellville, Arkansas, a little burg nestled in the rolling hills of north Arkansas. Very pretty. Very backward. While waiting with other lawyers, the election came up and the lawyers, caseworkers and CASA volunteers were ALL FOR TRUMP. It just baffles me how anyone doesn't see through the grift. How anyone could want a president who so obviously doesn't know shit from shinola.

One lawyer said something about how John Boozman is worthless (Arkansas Senator who is more old-school republican) but Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton were all wonderful - I mean, how can any educated human being admire those traitorous hypocritical scumbags? It's mind boggling.

Eggs historically are one of the most nutritional powerhouses for protein etc. Divide $2.99 by 12 equals $0.25 PER WHOLE EGG.

Actually, had my daughter guess the high end price after I told her the low one. She started with $5,000. I had her guess again and she first commented on how crazy that was, and then guessed $10,000. She was already so incensed by the over $5000 as the high end that it almost did not outrage her more, but it did, when I said, $100,000.

tRumps lawyers have asked the appellate court to reduce the fine. He will probably get his way once again.

If Kamala Harris sold Jewelry or handbags, Republicans would beat that drum until their arms fell off. Hypocrisy is the new Black. Oh, sorry I should never use the word black in the same paragraph as Republican. Dumb fuckers. I hope they all buy Donnie’s bullshit. Spend away! The more they buy his crappola, the less money they’ll have for guns.

Loved, loved, loved this piece. However, I am totally blown away by the line about Republicans having to carry Mark Robinson to term even if it means the death of their party. Don’t know how you do it, but keep on doing it!

Hey Rudy! The panhandlers at I-70 and Wilson Rd. here in Columbus Ohio have reserved two spots of honor for you and Alex Jones. Shitgibbon had better invest some of the watch take in rowboats.

And did you see/hear the head of Florida Emergency Management on the Weather Channel licking DeSantis boots saying “all good “ thanks to DeSantis leadership for the country?? DeSantis leads the country in climate denialism. The same team trying to keep people alive led by this piece of shit DeSantis. It’s sick.

DeSatan will have his paws out for all the FEMA money but hey, socialism bad. I would call the climate havoc on Florida "Gore's revenge" but Al Gore isn't vengeful. He's a Democrat who tried to steer us in the right direction before it came to this. Florida fucked that and us all.

Florida will be unlivable once the insurance companies say Hasta la vista - and dump car insurance & raise homeowners/small business insurance thru the roof. It’s just a matter of time.

Yes. At Florida’s request. It was a court stacked with conservatives by his dad.

No. Florida Supreme Court called for a statewide recount. The federal Supreme Court had no constitutional basis for interfering with that.

That said, it was the state of Florida as a whole which screwed up their voting procedures in the first place to make the whole nightmare necessary.

"Bone Saw seems weirdly unconcerned that Golden Boy Jared keeps pocketing their cash and returning no profit. maybe $1.2 bil is just the going rate for cartons of stolen classified documents." Yet the OUTRAGE about Hunter Biden's laptop was stratospheric. Dear God, please get rid of these monsters!
