@Steven_Hyden My father was doing this in the 1960s…

@RonFilipkowski Now, maybe I don’t have the subtle legal mind of Matt Gaetz, isn’t “sending funds to women I dated” just another way of saying “I sthupped prostitutes”?

@MJMcKean Mrs. Clark-Duff. My least favorite of my elementary school teachers. Don’t remember much about her, other than she was quite stiff and tightly wound (although those were probably not the words I used at the time).

@RonFilipkowski So many things wrong with that picture; to start, Melania is allowing him to touch her.

JD Vance may (or may not) love him some couch, but @realDonaldTrump just pledged his love to a chart…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is the party that claims to support law and order giving Peter Navarro, a freshly released convict, a standing ovation?

@mtgreenee You know, Congresswoman, whoever attempted to assassinate Former President Trump was an awful person. But you know what’s also awful? Using this assassination attempt to score cheap political points.

If I thought you were capable of shame, I’d ask “have you no shame?”

@mtgreenee You realize, Congresswoman, that if Trump is incarcerated, it will not be in a Federal prison but a NYS house of detention. So, technically, he would be a “guest” of the Hochul administration.

Not that I expect you to get your facts straight.

@MJMcKean What Jr. doesn’t seem to understand is that those invisible thumbs he imagines … could be pointing down. Third option: it could just be someone’s fist getting ready to punch him.

[Steven Mirkin @Smirkin213]

@JDVance1 @TTuberville OK, the trial almost put you to sleep. But you’re not the guy sitting in the defendant’s chair, with your freedom on the line. You’d expect him to have a little more invested in the outcome and be able to stay awake during his trial.

Y’know, #RonDeSantis’ “man dresses” comment goes a long way to explaining his problem with drag shows… #GOPDebate #GOPClownShowContinues

[Steven Mirkin @Smirkin213]

Man dresses, #RonDeSantis? Man dresses?!?

Wondering what Ron #DeSantis’ debate strategy was? It appears to be talking over Gavin #Newsom… #NEWSOMVSDeSANTIS
