Just trying to find a place where I might be able to see the actual things I follow in my feed. So far so good! Im loving the quality of my fellow sarcasm enthusiasts on here. It seems my mom was wrong and sarcasm can be used for good.

On further thought, the people who used him to get their project 2025 going might have noticed his poll numbers and decided he wasnt so useful anymore. Time for Vance to come along and be the puppet. I dont think they wanted him to be in office long. Or he met with Putin and got on his nerves.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

Actually, on further thought, he probably just had a bit of tummy tuck and bum lift to try to get as sexy as Gavin Newsom (never gonna happen) He will be out and about when it heals. I am still gonna hope he lives to see his orange skin match his jumpsuit. What? I can dream.

But....if he croaks then i dont get my beautiful dream of him being sent to jail with epstein survivors gloating in the background? I was hoping they would give him a cell with no social media and maybe he could share it with someone named bubba who also doesnt respect the word "no"?

This was much later, about 1989? But i lived in the same town as this boy, in a safe neighborhood. He lived near gangs i didnt know existed until he told me. He couldve easily been in my nerd level classes, but was not encouraged by his parents, and so was just getting by and playing football.
