This is the first time I’ve ever been trolled by a preschool. 😂

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

@TBrown_80 Oof.

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

This Jensen Huang story is making me completely rethink my opinion of Donald Trump. For years, I thought he was a Russian agent. Now, we’ve got to consider he may be a Chinese plant.

@TBrown_80 I'd throw in Keisha Lance Bottoms too. A woman who when she was born, her mother couldn't take her to eat in Lester Maddox's restaurant in Atlanta because of the color of her skin, now sitting at his desk. Are you *hitting me?

Louis Brandeis just 🤮 in heaven.

Hey, Andy stole my idea.

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

@danbayens I don't know either, but I have to think Abbot's chances would have been a heck of a lot better without Paxton's baggage pulling everyone down.

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

Dude’s on fire.

Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

The question is, is there a pattern as to whether they were born 1st or 2nd?

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Will the Real the Senator Stand Up trivia: When Scott Colom becomes the next Senator for Mississippi (and he will) there will be FOUR identical twins in the Senate Democratic Caucus — Patty Murray, Brian Schatz, Mark Kelly and yes, Scott Colom!

Welcome to my world.

I’ve never seen anything like this on a sideline.

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

@roanoke198 @LouisvilleMayor @JohnYarmuth @KYGOP @KyDems @loudemparty Oh, and I would have written the same column if it was a Democratic legislature doing crap like this.

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

@roanoke198 @LouisvilleMayor @JohnYarmuth @KYGOP @KyDems @loudemparty It’s not that partisanship is always bad. It’s that in this case, it’s stupid. IT WAS A BIPARTISAN PROJECT. And your obsession with Yarmuth is just weird because his role was pretty small. Oh, and it’s “You’re.”

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

@TBrown_80 True. But this was this wasn’t a catch. It looks like one in slo-mo though.

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

@roanoke198 @LouisvilleMayor @JohnYarmuth @KYGOP @KyDems @loudemparty Yet instead of blaming both Republicans and Democrats - who made the decisions together - you want to turn it into a partisan issue and use it to hammer the people you hate.

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

@roanoke198 @LouisvilleMayor @JohnYarmuth @KYGOP @KyDems @loudemparty But I’m glad you finally stopped your nonsensical whining about the bridges.

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

@roanoke198 @LouisvilleMayor @JohnYarmuth @KYGOP @KyDems @loudemparty *you’re. And if you don’t want me to answer, don’t tag me. And I didn’t read Ball’s audits because I read news reports and most of what she mentioned had been in CJ coverage dating back to 2023.

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

@roanoke198 @LouisvilleMayor @JohnYarmuth @KYGOP @KyDems @loudemparty The debt shouldn’t be surprising considering the work done over the last 30 years, taking over suburban package treatment plants, extending lines and fixing a 100 year old system that mixed storm water and household waste.

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

@roanoke198 @LouisvilleMayor @JohnYarmuth @KYGOP @KyDems @loudemparty I’ve read the internal audit. I’ve not read Allison Ball’s. The internal audit laid out the debt situation. The ratings agencies think it’s an ok amount of debt.

[Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth]

@roanoke198 @JohnYarmuth @JCPSKY You must have dropped out after second grade.
