My vote goes to Lee Atwater, (mastermind of the Willie Horton ad in 1988) who rightly passed away of a brain tumor in the early 1990s. Ya, carma is usually just around the corner and always a bitch.

I cannot and will never understand the need to be shitfaced long before you enter the sports venue. Take that $100 to $200 ticket and just set it on ๐Ÿ”ฅ.

Unfortunately obnoxious plus intoxicated takes it to a whole different level. About 5 years ago at a day b-ball game, we sat next to a totally shit faced guy who upchucked on the poor girl in front of him, and that was in the 2nd inning of the game. Pick your poison.

This along with what I'm observing in my light red county here in Central Wisconsin. I'm calling it TES - trump embarrassment syndrome cuz man oh man, them signs and flags have been disappearing at warp speed since early summer. Has anyone else observed this in other counties/states?

Not to mention that darn "cross eyed bear"

As a baseball fan, I can't defend either of these individuals. He for being obnoxious as a visiting fan and she for entirely going off the fng deep end. If only it would be a turning point for both - but doubt very much that will happen.

My better half always thought (till almost 40 years old) that Neil Diamond was singing "the devil's in bluejeans" rather than Forever in Bluejeans. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

So then it's not for "all tents and porpoises?"

I'm a late boomer (born in the sixties D). Voted that way all my adult life but have never formally "registered" as such. Does that fall into the intangible category with these polls?

Chip Roy, the loon that probably invented the mantra "god, guns and trump".

Said it yesterday on one of the many, many posts about Lil meggy..she needed Cliff Notes when she was on the View.

Meghan McCain was the only previous member on the View (and there have been many) who needed Cliff Notes to keep up.

Someone please, please explain how Cindy and John produced this pea brained, shitwit? Every post tells me she had to have been adopted.

Let me tell you something, if you had told me a month ago that Sheboygan, Manitowoc and Antigo, WI were having any formal protests against that nut job, I would have said no way as they have been fringe maga areas so color me very, very impressed!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

I like Jonathan Karl, but the softballs with little mike johnson cause me to scream more at the TV than watching the NFL on Sundays.

Please do a town hall in PBTW's district (phony baloney tony weed). He is incredibly MIA and as indicated below...the hypocrisy from before he was elected is astounding.

Ya, ya...those of us older than 50 can remember when sportsfans used to have the same glowing praise for OJ Simpson, Pete Rose, etc., etc., etc. Just ask someone ten years younger than you about Tom Brady, aka the GOAT. Bet they only now him as the bad color guy on FOX NFL Sunday broadcasts.

A truly amazing phenomena in red states/counties is that perhaps they only display those signs as a smokescreen to how they actually vote. The post election percentages here in purple WI always seem to bare this out.
