The wording of this made me laugh so hard I choked on my coffee ...

This week, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump oozed orangely into Arlington National Cemetary to take a picture of himself standing over veteran’s graves with an oleaginous smile and a big thumb’s up.
Also, this is SO true and SO scary.

As I’ve already mentioned, authoritarianism doesn’t necessarily happen all at once. And as it becomes entrenched, it can be hard to tell how exactly it is affecting people. Are the Washington Post fact checkers just dim bulbs bamboozled by their own both sides bullshit? Or are they being nudged from on high to delegitimize Democrats in hopes that Trump will be nice to the paper if he gets into office?
:qft:

I think I'm all caught up now. See you all tomorrow. :grouphug:
Be well. We all have a past. I reserve a particularly derisive smirk for people our age who claim to be innocent of participating in nefarious activities and suffering some social or legal ramifications along the way. We were young and foolish and daring and hopelessly in love and many more things. Old age is a gift but getting here is quite an adventure.

If JD Vance's Kink Is Public Humiliation, Then He's Having Hottest Week Ever

Booed by firefighters, Tweeting sexist garbage, unable to answer questions on CNN, yep, campaign’s going great!

Remember when Jeb “Please Clap” Bush was the awkwardest man alive? Well, here comes JD Vance, making him look like Perry Como!

Last night, the man who orders a doughnut like he’s getting a colonoscopy got repeated hearty boos and heckling at the International Association of Fire Fighters conference in Boston. Starting from when he said, “Thank you guys, thank you so much.”

BOOO!

“Semper fi guys, sounds like we’ve got some haters here!” he squawks, like a sixth grader who accidentally walked into the eighth graders’ bathroom and is getting lifted by the ankles for a swirlie.

Firefighters got the BURN! This was a mere day after Governor Tim Walz got lusty cheers from the same group, yowch!

“President Trump and I are proud to be the most pro-worker Republican ticket in history!”

BOOO!

It got awkwarder, he tried a joke.

“At the Republican convention we featured everyday American workers and of course we had Hulk Hogan. And while it’s temptin’, and I’m sure it would make some big headlines, but don’t worry, any, er, ah, everybody, I’m not going to try to take off my shirt here.”

[Awkward pause and crickets for laughs that did not come.]

Seriously! What idiot picked their costumes?

Vance is clearly 'Aqua-retaining-Man',
RFK Jr gets to be Killer Croc
Musk is obviously Lex Luthor with hair plugs
Vivek = Ra's Al Ghul
Roger Stone already dresses up like the Penguin
Pence would have been Mr. Freeze

Trump, known for his stench and mind-altering presence and horrifying face.... gets to be Scarecrow.

And I've no idea who the token female in the image is. Even Google Lens couldn't identify her. I know I've seen her face at least once or twice, but it's not Kerri Lake, Gov Shoots-Dogs, Nikki Haley, Nancy Mace, ... is it supposed to be Tulsi Gabbard maybe? I can't tell.

Could be Beetlejuice Boebert.

It's Tulsi Gabbard, as Jopsy supposed. Boebert is too low on the totem to be allowed to cosplay WW.

Laughing so hard at this! But particularly the one about Roger Stone. I remember thinking when I saw him in the Monopoly outfit that I thought he looked a lot more like "The Penguin" than the Monopoly guy.
