An addition to our mirth: 'Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes sentenced to 18 years in prison in first punishments for seditious conspiracy in Jan. 6 attack' (WAPO) Count them, TAFMers, 18 years!
Too bad it wasn't the 25 the prosecution asked for. With a terrorism enhancement. But 18 will keep him away long enough he'll be "Stewart Who?" when he's done.
You make a valid point there. He may not have any. But we don't have to worry about whether he does or doesn't, since after 18 years in the klink, any that exist will have shriveled up.
Comes from being on the spectrum... well, and partially inherited. My mother actually diagnosed me, in the mid-late '50s, when just about nobody in the US was aware of this. (She didn't tell me. I figure she just didn't know whether it would be helpful or harmful to let me know. She did tell a friend of hers, who told her daughter, who told me decades later, after reading a story I'd written that gave it away in the way I described my toddler self (unbeknownst to me, since I was unaware of it at that time).
'A federal judge sentenced Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes to 18 years in prison Thursday and accepted the government's recommendation of an enhancement for terrorism for his role leading a seditious conspiracy to disrupt the certification of President Joe Biden's election victory.'
Yes - they did it with a 12 year sentence, "enhanced" to 18, rather than the recommended 18 year sentence enhanced to 25. 18 turns out to be long enough, given his age. Assuming he survives in there, he comes out at age 75.
TC, when I see 75 years of age! Look at the damage being done by some that age and older. Hey, why worry; they may see to it that human beings can longer survive on earth in 15 years! The Supreme Court of the USA has a mighty hand in our sentence for life on earth.
'Twitter Investigation Reveals Keyboard Was Clogged with Chocolate Pudding'
'SAN FRANCISCO (The Borowitz Report)—The attempt to live-stream Ron DeSantis’s announcement of his White House bid on Twitter encountered difficulties because a computer keyboard involved in the transmission became clogged with chocolate pudding, a preliminary company investigation has determined.'
'Tracy Klugian, who heads up the digital-forensics team for the social-media platform, said that the broadcast had been glitchy not because of excessive traffic, as originally claimed, but because of “technical problems that appear to be chocolate-pudding related.” (Satire, NewYoker)
DeSantis should just give up while he’s still behind. He’s never going to get any traction as long as trump is around and even if trump isn’t running, DeSantis is about as charismatic as a stale bologna sandwich that’s starting to turn green with mold. Remember those 15 GOP candidates from 2015 that trump trumped? DeSantis is nowhere near as appealing as those bozos were. Actually the GOP really have nothing in their bag of tricks except trump to energize their looney base of rabid voters, nobody with any zing, just more of the same old, same old.
I am laughing so hard I am unable to write a thing! DeSatan, Marjorie Taylor Goon, Elon Muck, and whoever the F*** the other guy...the Orange Menace... The big question is - how in the world to get the people licking all these Fascist boots to stop it!
It really was hilarious to hear all the Democrats laughing at Marjorie Taylor Goon, as she tried to insist on "decorum" which only brought harder laughter!
I chuckled while reading, “We’ve got so many people here that we are kind of melting the servers,” Sacks said at one point.
DeSantis & Musk, the pair of geniuses flickered in a twitter of malfunction. The more I think about it the funnier it becomes. Then I thought of how hard I laughed with Trump and Melania, in an off one shoulder, cocktail dress, went down the escalator for his announcement. That memory was very brief and not the least bit ironic.
I'm looking forward to Tom's birthday, the month after next, when we'll celebrate him and not give a thought to that guy who was going to 'Make America Florida'!
I am digging all the errors coming to light. Paxton may have even screwed the pooch with his own party. TN needs to be reeled in and my state (IN) somehow manages to avoid notice, except from the handful of blue locals, I’m enjoying the court house line ups and looking forward to Federal charges. This all keeps me from focusing on the looming debt ceiling crisis, which I can only hope ensures the strengthening of D’s in the Senate and the retaking of the House ... those bloody idiots.
You need more Delta-V to fire them into the sun vs. into the solar system. Just because you want the R's out of here is no excuse to waste propellant. 🤣
I really like the rhythms in this piece, almost like Latin dance music.
I doubt the sputtering out of the gate by the two whitest men on the planet will result in any embarrassment for them or the right wing because they have no shame, informed judgment, or good taste. One of the secondary points I see highlighted by the mess is that the wealthy and the private sector so worshipped by the wingers are wracked with the same bungling they like to point at in government.
So, see there, all that Muck/URgoneRon smugness can indeed be "canceled" because it just ain't woke.
How do these GQP characters manage to screw themselves so much better than anyone else could? Is it the R in front (or behind) their names? I know we have a few incompetents on the Dem side but these "gifts" are beyond competency! Mind-boggling...
I almost cringe to say this but when I first registered to vote I registered as a Repub. Both my folks were Rs & they had friends that were VERY invested in the R party. I left it at that right up till 2016. Of course, I voted for Dems after I matured a bit!! Needless to say, my mom and I could not even talk about politics or religion - and I will say no more.
Trump tipped me from one party to the other - period.
I am the first to admit that I don't know anything about Twitter because I have never used it, so please excuse my probable ignorance here. If Twitter users were the only ones that could hear the big news, that would have been yet one more incident of DeSantis shooting himself in the foot by restricting his announcement to people on Twitter, no?
Yes. As some other critics have noted, he's making the same mistake Elizabeth Warren made in 2020 - mistaking all her extremely-online supporters for a majority of the party (which they weren't for her and aren't for him).
On a separate topic, when the cover notes, introduction, forward, and photo captions are good, you know the book will be great. Anyone interested in the history of WW2 as seen by the 8th Air Force and some of their opponents should read Clean Sweep.
I’m glad. Very glad. DeSatan will have a hard time overcoming this so Trump is more likely the nominee (if he’s not at Rikers by then), and he will get beat again. That Elon run-aMuck is demonstrated as a tech incompetent and a failed king maker is just frosting on the cake. Maybe the MSM will stop treating him as something serious. (One can hope.)

ANd he'll be old enough that his balls will have shriveled up.
can we really be sure he has any? I mean, like, this is a tough guy who can't clean his gun without shooting his eye out...
You make a valid point there. He may not have any. But we don't have to worry about whether he does or doesn't, since after 18 years in the klink, any that exist will have shriveled up.
jeez, David...you're so LOGICAL!

Lick you fingers, folks!
I laughed out loud.
DeSantis' fingers full of _ _ _ _chocolate!
I think we ALL did.
Erm ... chocolate pudding is nearly indistinguishable from 💩. Just saying 😗🎶
YUP!

Ha! Make the Universe Great Again!
That scenario would certainly be a good start! Can we stuff Put in in too?

I share Tom's birthday and all these sentiments. To Laugh and Celebrate would be such wonderful gifts!

May as well call the temporary autocrat of Florida 'DeSantos'.

It's what I've been known to say: "I once thought of being a Republican but I couldn't flunk the IQ test low enough to qualify."
I almost cringe to say this but when I first registered to vote I registered as a Repub. Both my folks were Rs & they had friends that were VERY invested in the R party. I left it at that right up till 2016. Of course, I voted for Dems after I matured a bit!! Needless to say, my mom and I could not even talk about politics or religion - and I will say no more.

To better reflect the 21st century, The Ministry of Silly Acronyms should officially change SNAFU, to SNAMU: Situation Normal All Musked Up
I like that!
Old pudding finger DeSatan wants to "Re-costituionalize the
government. "Make America Florida" would be his Fascist
Constitution. The sooner he's
gone in his 4 inch boogie boots
the better. Looking forward to
seeing Trump with a buzz cut
after a cavity search.

Great recap, succinct, and to the point.

Thank you!
